    • Amazing Visuals! Pretty Decent Everything Else
This is my third headset - I also own an OG Vive, and a Valve Index. I am running an RTX 4090 and a 12900k. Pros: -Visual clearity is unparalleled. Gone are the days of looking through screen doors. The colors are vibrant and pop. The blacks look great - I know the index is a poor comparison for black levels, but really, they are very very good. -FOV is good! I’ve never used and 8k so I can’t compare to that, but vertically is feels like it’s more than my Index and horizontally about the same as my Index (if not the same, slightly more). -Dynamic foveated rendering is a game changer. I bought this for cockpit flying and I always had pretty low frame rates (in Microsoft Flight Simulator especially) and just dealt with it. With DFR enabled I now get consistently higher frames and am actually able to bump up my graphics settings so I’m not only getting a smooth flying experience, but the games look better too. -Inside out tracking is really pretty good! If using this just for cockpit flying, there is no need for lighthouses. The inside out tracking hasn’t left me feeling the need for anything better. I do have the lighthouse faceplate so I can use my Index controllers. -Support from Pimax for their product seems good. They are constantly making improvements with firmware updates and they seems they are receptive to community issues. -Pimax as the manufacturer and seller may have been a con previously - they have been known for their poor customer service which caused me to hold off from purchasing a 5k or 8k- from what I have seen, they have had good support for their product, and when I made the purchase, there was mistake on their end, but they still honored the deal that was agreed upon - which is a HUGE deal. Good for them! That’s how you get return customers. -The facial interface blocks out light very well. With most other headsets I have tried, I can usually see down around my nose (which I actually like for using my phone or typing something so this may be a con for you) but this facial interface blocks most light very very well and helps with immersion. -Automatic IPD adjustment is a really nice feature I could live without but makes life a whole lot better. It is great to know it is set correctly every time you put the headset on and very convenient for sharing the headset. -Good microphone. Not the best but it is good and better than other headsets. Neutral: -The controllers are okay. They look and feel like Quest controllers. They work as intended and they track pretty on par with other inside out tracking headsets. It’s nice to have them there just in case. I hope to use my Index controllers when I get the lighthouse faceplate in. -Having a battery is meh. The battery is a con for most people. I used this headset all weekend and didn’t need to swap the battery out. It seems with the firmware updates they have had pretty much fixed the battery issue when using the usb hub. This is a neutral point for me because I’d rather it not be there, but it doesn’t really affect me at this point. Works fine! It is NOT as difficult to remove as people say. Once you find the best method it is fairly easy. -Comfort is fine WITHOUT glasses. The Index is more comfortable. I do wear glasses and use prescription lenses although they haven’t arrived yet - I get pressure from my glasses being pressed into my face which gets old over time. I do not believe the weight is that big of an issue. I don’t notice it being heavier than my Index although it is by a small amount. I am using this mostly for cockpit use - if I were using it for active games like Pistol Whip having the weight of the front of the HMD might be a con. I didnt have any serious discomfort in Onward though due to the weight. I am getting a thicker facial interface because my prescription lenses will be very close to my eyes. -This was FAIRLY EASY to get connected and working on my computer. Using it with SteamVR works pretty easily, but using OpenXR is better. Like many other headsets, it make take some fiddling with its software or a third party software to work well with some programs. This would be a con but it is very common in the world of VR so I am leaving it here as a note. Cons: -Audio quality is TERRIBLE. Maybe worse than the Quest 2? Maybe equal? I haven’t compared 1 to 1. Coming from the Index it is abhorrent. I have the DMAS headphones on order and cannot wait to swap these out. They work. Sound comes out of them. They will do the job for me until I get replacements. This would be neutral but $1700 is a lot to not include a decent audio solution. A plus is that they are easily swapped but it adds to the price. -Foam material. This is a MINOR con. The material for the face gasket is like a porous foam material that I am not a large fan of. It will absorb sweat and oil and get yucky. Valve did it right with the Index and even with that I put a silicon cover over it. This face gasket would be fine if I could find a silicon cover available. -I am seriously missing the system button that I had on my Index to get into my desktop view. The button could be used to select and open files like you would with a mouse. This came in very handy when in a cockpit and you didn’t want to or couldn’t lean forward to grab your mouse. Pimax should have some sort of software that allows you to bring up a desktop view while in game and should add a button so that you can interface with your desktop. It’s not a deal breaker, but it will force you to remove your headset more than I have in the past. Is the headset worth it? If you are coming from another high end headset that released in the past couple of years, or are playing very active VR games (I will still use my Index for active games) maybe not. For me, YES! The difference in my VR experience flying or racing is night and day. I am coming from a headset that was released about 5 years ago - I expect that this headset will get last me another 5 years. The technology has come so far since then. Visuals (including FOV) are most important to me and this headset comes out on top for consumer VR. Audio is also a bit deal - the DMAS headphones have great reviews and should fix that issue for me. I am mostly using this headset sitting and the comfort is completely acceptable with no serious concerns when you are wearing it properly. I also have the hardware to run the headset at high settings. I feel like my cons are fairly minor compared to the pros. I am thrilled with this purchase and at the time of this review, am thrilled to have this Pimax piece of hardware. ... show more

    • Really enjoying the crystal
This is an amazing vr headset. Im a vr enthusiast and have/had many vr headsets including cv1,q1,q2,q3,qpro,g1 and g2. Im primarily a seated user (dcs,msfs,ams2,acc,ac,rfactor2,raceroom,elite dangerous,rogue sqadron,no mans sky) but i also like standing/more action oriented games. For seated games, in my opinion nothing even comes close to the experience, not the g2 and not the q3. All were tuned and i used openxr where possible. For anything requiring movement, i would never think to use the crystal(this includes standalone mode). Its just got too much inertia. The q3 is the best standing/moving headset i own. Seated its perfectly comfortable with an apache strap. I also use honsvr inserts for it. The stock facial interface did not work for me with the prescription inserts(eye tracking works absolutely fine for me with these). While im waiting for my 15mm insert, i used stacked velcro between the facial interface and the foam so my eyeballs were not touching the prescription lenses :) Also, the facial interface is designed for wide faces. I stacked even more velcro on the sides to make it a better fit. i also ordered the dmas headphones but am using the stock audio. The stock audio is serviceable but nothing great. All of diy is par for course for any headset. i dont think there was a single headset that i did not have to do some modifications for to make it fit just right so dont be put off by this. I have waited until now to order in anticipation that pimax had worked out a lot of their growing pains (that and the lightning deals :)). Thats why 4 stars instead of 5, although at the rate its going, im pretty sure pimax will get to 5. They mostly have solved the issues and they have released the features that i care about. I have a top end computer and it runs great with the pimax. btw, even my 4090 is not enough to squeeze every bit of performance out of this device. Cant wait to see what a 5090 can do. There have been a couple of times where it did not connect or would not properly shut down and i had to restart some of the services and once reboot to make it work properly. This is all things that software can handle and I expect will get fixed. (One thing to note, i never once had connectivity issues with my qpro/q3. However, the g2 when it first came out was aweful and was fixed with their new powered cable) Compared to how this device started on release, this is a rare occurrence. I also havent experience any noticeable audio lag. Final thoughts, if you are computer savy and are a seated vr user, this device is fantastic. It can be made very comfortable for that use case. This is a tinkerers device and based on the polar opposite reviews and discussions on the device, i would definitely buy it from amazon for the ability to return if it does not work for you.. ... show more
