Pimax Crystal Super

Im very interested to see how the OLED optical engine works out, if we can get good binocular overlap and a decent FoV we have a new milestone imho... after that its then really about size and price reduction

The micro-oled model looks like it will have limited FoV I assume due to the panel sizes but sooner or later I think we will see that getting nailed it feels close

I Received my Super today @ 11:30am

First impressions...

  • Good build quality
  • Mura is there but you dont really notice it unless you're looking for it
  • it's the first headset i've had to use my reading glasses for as it was a blurry mess before but once i'd found my glasses HOLY MOLY that is sharp (9800x3d + 5090 i would hope so)
  • only tried the basic sound atm it's as good as the quest 3 imo (i have the DMAS i just have to install them)
  • Tracking seems ok i've only used the controller for menus!
  • FOV is pretty good feels like you're wearing a helmet rather than looking through binoculars now
  • considering im jamming my glasses in there atm its quite comfy but man it's hot hot hot :cry:
  • that is one bright display i put it down to 75% and it's still bright
  • Fan noise i was worried about this but it's barley audible and it's really warm today
  • Chromatic Aberrations - these are present around menus but i don't really notice in game
the only gripes i have is i have to have the controller handy to see the desktop, everytime i come out of a game it just boots you onto a planet looking at a moon then you have to press the Pi button and select desktop it's maybe a setting these are literally my first thoughts, I've not really messed with the local dimming yet and now and again it liked to just turn off the headset i cured that by upping the screen timeout time

The software installed and worked first time I'm sure there are some programs to make life easier but this is my first Pimax headset

Is it better than the Varjo Aero? yes but only really the comfort, FOV, and sound built in the Aero is still very capable but i'll be selling mine!

will i be keeping it? Yes i'll have to get some lens inserts though but once i've got it all dialed in i reckon it'll be amazing I've only tried Assetto Corsa, ACC and iRacing so far gonna do some flight sims later

So far for me the Pimax journey has been good no complaints

I've got my Super dialed in now it's pretty amazing i couldn't get it to feel right until i tried this....


i also had to set my IPD 3mm lower than my actual IPD which is a bit odd

Mura is real though i do find myself seeing it now and again and wishing it wasn't there! it's nothing like the PSVR2 though that was awful!

with the DMAS (great sound) and head strap it's a heavy beast but i've been playing around with it for hours and hours now and i still don't want to come out of it :cry:

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is very hard to run on it but OMG it looks real it has to be seen to be believed! i just wish it didn't crawl @ 35fps :eek: ( night flights are amazing )

Assetto Corsa looks stunning with the PURE plugin and mods

ACC looks ok but you have to lower the resolution to get it to run right so not great :rolleyes:

iRacing runs amazing but with such high resolution you can really pick out where graphics are lacking

Automobilista looks stunning and runs well

the local dimming in night races is unreal there's a little haloing but it looks great

so far im loving it, nearly the perfect headset for me just a bit too bulky/heavy and mura ruins it a little

i should be getting my Big Screen Beyond 2 soon too we'll see which one i'll keep :cry:
 
Excellent news, Chris. I'm glad you're liking it so far.

I got my StudioForm bits yesterday and it has significantly improved the comfort.

I do wish there was a proper 'off' button on the headset itself. I've had to dangle the little box that has all the cables going into it in a certain way under my desk, so that I can easily pull out and plug back in the power cable. I don't like the idea of the headset being powered on all the time my PC is on.
