Features

  • Subscription Required: Youll begin paying a monthly subscription fee 14 days after activating your Crystal Light with Pimax Play : $11.99/month for 24 months or a one-time payment of $259. If the headset meets the return requirements, you can also request a refund with Pimax support for the paid subscription fee through Pimax Play, which may take up to 7 days.
  • High Display Quality: The Pimax Crystal Light features a QLED 2880x2880 per-eye display, delivering exceptional clarity. With a 35 PPD panel, it offers some of the best VR visuals, even outperforming many premium headsets.
  • Light and Comfortable: The headset is lightweight, resulting in a balanced and comfortable fit. The build quality is commendable, featuring a sturdy carbon fiber frame and a thicker top strap for added comfort.
  • Upscaling Mode: Pimax Crystal Light offers an advanced feature called Upscale Mode, designed to significantly boost FPS performance while maintaining impressive visual quality.
  • Capable of running all your favorite games, such as: Microsoft Flight Simulator, MSFS 2024, Digital Combat Simulator World, X-Plane, IL-2 Sturmovik, iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Elite Dangerous, Half-Life: Alyx, Beat Saber, VR Chat, No Man's Sky, Arizona Sunshine
  • Visual Clarity:Pimax Crystal Lights clarity is superior due to its innovative lens design that minimizes distortions and offers a broader sweet spot. This means users wont need to constantly adjust their headset to find the clearest view.
  • Realism Night View: Local dimming improves contrast by allowing different areas of the screen to be lit with varying brightness levels. This allows for deeper blacks and brighter whites, resulting in a more vivid and lifelike image.
  • The optional Lighthouse Faceplate integrates perfectly with your existing SteamVR setup, eliminating the need to replace your current base stations and controllers. Compatible with Pimax Sword controllers, Valve Index Knuckles controllers, HTC VIVE controllers
  • Optical glass aspheric lenses offer a light passthrough of about 99% and offer very high PPD capabilities at a cost of thicker materials and a higher weight. Our panels shine brighter through the lens than most, and the extra leeway in panel brightness means that we are HDR-compatible. For high-end headsets that focus on bright, high-resolution images, this design is ideal.

    • Excellent overall HMD, a big step up
Overall I've very happy with my Pimax 5K +, which I chose over the 8K due to sharpness, and chose over the 5K VR due to the reduced screen-door effect. With any HMD currently on the market there are compromises, so it's important to know what you want before you buy. My criteria were large FOV, sharp picture, and low-to-no screen-door effect. The 5K + has very good resolution, and extremely little screen-door effect (The screen-door effect is also so minimized that it's hard to tell that it's there at all.). It also supports 90hz refresh rates and the PiTool software's BrainWarp works just as well if not better than the other async rendering options I've seen. It also has a massive FOV - in Large FOV mode the "screen" fills your peripheral vision very close to 100%. You have to really strain to tell that you've lost any peripheral vision at all. It also supports two smaller FOV modes, either for better performance or for other specific reasons (for example, in Racing Sims, which I play a lot, the Normal FOV is almost exactly like having a helmet on in actual motorsports, so no need to bother with wide FOV in those titles). The downsides? Blacks are really a dark grey, and if you plan on running games in large FOV you have to render extremely high resolutions, so you'll need a pretty powerful rig to make the most out of the HMD (but you can always run one of the smaller FOVs and upgrade your rig later). So all in all this HMD supports the features I wanted. If you are more sensitive to grey-not-blacks and less botherer by the screen-door effect you might look at the 5K XR model instead. ... show more

    • Pimax 5k; with some work it really works!
I bought the Pimax5K to replace an Oculus Rift nearly a year ago and only after I had tested th upgraded Oculus & several other new VR headsets just coming on the market at the time. I was impressed by the Pimax claims of lowered Screen Door Effect (SDE) and a wider field of view,which when properly adjusted it delivers. I bought the Pimax through a special offer on Amazon and after some delay it arrived.It came in an impressive box, but without the scanner box(s) necessary to make in a completely serviceable VR utility, at the time Pimax did not offer their own but I was able to order one of them that would work for about $100.00. I was also unhappy with the headstraps that were supposed to hold the headset in place ...they did not do the job with this headset & its weight and did not have built in headphones . After the very comfortable Oculus Rift that came complete with a very comfortable headstraps & headphone set the Pimax which cost considerably more,this was very disappointing.Fortunately there was an online recommendation to get a replacement headset from another VR company that with a homemade conversion and additional facial cushions that made a much better “fit” than the single cushion that came with Pimax.This new ( but used ) headstrap & new cushions cost an additional $125.00 or so. The money I had saved in the special price from Amazon was sadly negated by these necessary additional items. I play IL-2Great Battles series almost exclusively and that’s what I bought the Pimax for. I am fortunate that the Forum for the sim had a VR section with all sorts of advice for the various VR sets ,including Pimax 5K ( which has a lot of support there by the way.) Obviously the best advice I got was to download the newest Pitool from Pimax and to adjust it for the afore mentioned flight sim.I also got suggested in game settings that would help in clarity & performance . I found it good to write these down, because upgrades in Windows ,in IL-2 , Pitool, and other unknowns tend to throw settings out the window from time to time...maddening but manageable. So after a year of use I have to say I’m happy with the results and generally with Pimax support as well.when is is all lined up & on the beam it is simply wonderful and I’m keeping the 5K for a while. The SDE is still with me but it is much reduced from Oculus products .Through the Pitool I can play with field of view, but mostly keep it on “Normal” which is acceptable. Fit & comfort are still problematic, but again manageable at least for periods of less than an hour or so. Pimax now offers much more in accessories than it did a year ago for its newest generation of VR but at a cost...also the newest generation requires a very pricey graphics card the 2080 from Nvidia. This would require about $2000.00 or so which is very dear after spending about $900.00 less than a year ago,so I’ll be keeping my 5K for a while longer before getting the newest Pimax ( which I very much want) but at the same time saving my pennies & as always keeping an eye out for what the other VR guys come up with.... ... show more

    • Whoops!
Presumably the product is fine, if you receive one that is working. (I'd be interested in that probability if anyone knows.) Unfortunately, I had a hardware issue with the headset where the lower half of the left display was discolored and would drop pixels or show them as a primary color that was glaring. If you don't spend hours a day in VR, then fyi if one eye is malfunctioning its distracting and annoying at least, but at times nauseating. It worked pretty good other than that. Except I had an issue with beat saber not respecting my head position. This was almost certainly software related, I never got far enough to fix this beat saber bug due to the hardware issues. After about a month of somewhat stressful (hilarious in hind sight) interactions with numerous customer service representatives I was issued a RMA. If there is a hardware issue, Pimax can really only communicate one message a day, unless you are willing to switch to China's timezone. Also, at first, the tech support would show up in my e-mail, but if I responded by e-mail the message was not delivered, I had to use the support forum, this furthered the delay. I believe this issue has been fixed and an e-mail reply will reach tech support at this time. Communication was difficult in general, and due to the slow pace of interactions it took a month for something that should have taken a few days maybe a week. Then when they gave me the return label, it was wrong, the destination was my house, at this point it was over a month from the purchase. I had gotten in the habit of calling Amazon support first and then conference with Pimax and Amazon support. This tended to help communications and it was the 4th time I had contacted Amazon support to help with Pimax support. This time around the Amazon representative allowed a refund prior to conferencing with Pimax. Its not clear how Amazon allowed this, the first 3 times Amazon insisted that I go through Pimax, which I was fine with at first. Maybe if enough grief is experienced by the customer Amazon will let you go through them? Whatever the case, I jumped at the opportunity because the progress with Pimax was excruciatingly slow, and showed no sign of improving. In theory, I really like the idea of a independent high tech VR company, and I would really like to see a company like this succeed. I don't especially like giving a bad review, but I paid a bunch for this headset and I expect it to work as advertised, when it didn't work correctly the path was long a narrow. If I got a TV and 1/4 of the pixels were bad and would display bad colors and dropped pixels, I would hope the return process wouldn't take longer than a month. It was over a month and I hadn't even shipped it back yet. Who knows how long the total process would take, and if it would have gone smoothly. With so many goofball mistakes its hard for me to believe that none of them were on purpose, this would allow them to draw out the time of the return improving the bottom line. This is purely speculation on my part, maybe the support staff is just really bad at their jobs. Supporting Pimax seemed fine at first, but I'd rather not subsidize them. Good thing I bought it through Amazon despite the sharp price difference from the Pimax website. It might make you wonder, why is Amazon priced so much higher? I know why. ... show more
