The Internet tells me it's a good contender for enterprise as a similar headset that doesn't need a computer to work costs about $5k+. So I guess the fact it's being sold to consumers is just to ice the proverbial enterprise made money cake. And since so many major consumer apps are saying no to supporting the headset it's gotta sell in the enterprise world or find a super niche of well to do hackers, given it's cost, to keep it alive.

The second hand market in a couple years will be very telling of how well it did and is doing.
