I read a lot and watched a lot of Youtube. I was already certain I intended to stay away from DJI, so that left Walksnail or HDZero. Everything indicated HDZero's biggest advantage was its low latency, while the Walksnail goggles had a significantly lower price and a design that favored hardware updates.
Neither are cheap by any stretch, but I could stomach the $450.00 for the X easier than the $650.00 for the HDZero.
Also, for me, racing will likely never be something I do, so the difference in latency was less of a factor than it would be to a serious racer-type.
