Design
Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
Display & Lenses
Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
A wider field of view assures an immersive and realistic experience.
The frequency at which the screen is refreshed. Higher frequency results in less flickering (less noise) and more natural movement representation in action-intense scenes.
With adjustable lenses, the device can assure a sharp and clear image for a wide range of users, including users who usually wear glasses.
The device has an electronic display to present information to the user.
The type of technology used in the display.
Performance
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of volatile memory used to store working data and machine code currently in use. It is a quick-access, temporary virtual storage that can be read and changed in any order, thus enabling fast data processing.
Tracking
As your head moves, the images move in real-time, assuring a realistic experience.
The headset has multiple sensors and cameras that assure low latency tracking for 360° movements.
The device can track your position in space and warn you if you are about to hit something.
A gyroscope is a sensor that tracks the orientation of a device, more specifically by measuring the angular rotational velocity. Initially, they were built using a spinning rotor to detect changes in orientation, like twisting or rotation.
An accelerometer is a sensor used to measure the linear acceleration of a device. A common application is detecting when a device changes between vertical and horizontal positions.
The gesture control function allows you to manipulate virtual objects.
The area of the surface that can be used for VR or AR simulations. A larger tracking area allows you more freedom of movement.
With an infrared sensor the device can detect motion by measuring the infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view.
The device can track the movement of your eyes and your gaze, making it easy to interact with the content.
Connectivity
Newer USB versions are faster and have better power management.
More HDMI ports mean that you can simultaneously connect numerous devices, such as video game consoles and set-top boxes.
Features
The device comes with a game controller.
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
Devices with integrated audio are more convenient to use, as you don't have worry about connecting headphones or microphones.
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
A remote control allows you to control the device remotely. The remote control can be included or optional.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
Miscellaneous
Interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the center of your eyes. Without adjustable IPD, the lenses of a VR headset may not line up with your pupils, which can result in eye strain and nausea.
See-through mode uses cameras on the front of the VR headset to allow you to see your surroundings without taking the headset off.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.

I think the HTC Vive Pro is underrated.

I personally think the HTC Vive Pro would be my choice. In my opinion, the OLED (deep black level) panels and the light weight/comfort of the Vive Pro makes for a more enjoyable experience in VR than the Valve Index's (more faded colored, god-rayed) panels/lenses and slight heavier headset. Those would be the deciding factors for me with these headsets (I own both of them). The Valve Index is better looking (headset design), has a better audio solution, wider field of view (FOV) (which I don't really pay that much attention too while in VR, honestly) has a better microphone and better controllers...however the Vive has a decent interesting design, acceptable FOV, good headset speakers, crappy microphone(i don't hear the microphone so it doesn't really bother me, however still worth mentioning.) and the controllers for the Valve index can natively be used for the Vive pro. With all that pointed out, the impressive colors of the Vive Pro steps out ahead in my opinion.

I dont have any more to say. Strap is amazingly balancing weights and so comfortable. Screen is OLED which makes VR looks great, also 90Hz is awesome. SteamVR is good app(compared to crappy Pitool and barely working Oculus Link with Quest). Tracking is flawless, literally.
