In short

OJO 500 is the 100° / mechanical-IPD / sound-pipe WMR visor. 600 g is the DE store SKU. Do not copy AH101’s 95° or $399.99 onto this H1.

Who it is for

  • Owners documenting OJO 500 from Acer’s newsroom, the DE store table, and Microsoft’s WMR chart.
  • People who must not mix this SKU with 2017 AH101.

Who should skip it

  • Windows 11 24H2+ PCs. Microsoft: WMR unsupported.
  • Shoppers treating AH101’s 95° / $399.99 / 1.34 lb sentences as this H1.
  • Standalone / no-PC buyers.

Key differentiators

  • 2880×1440 LCD; up to 90 Hz; 100° FOV; 2.89-inch hinged panels.
  • Detachable hard or washable soft strap; IPD wheel + app (Acer).
  • Sound-pipe speakers; 4 m HDMI 2.0 + USB 3.0 cable.

Caveats

  • 600 g is the DE store VP.R0AEE.002 line (includes controllers in that listing). Do not invent a visor-only split.
  • AH101 is a different 2017 headset (95° / $399.99 / 1.34 lb on Acer’s US pre-order post).
  • No US dollar on the OJO newsroom this pass.
  • No hands-on testing.
