Pimax Responds: Plus Pimax 12K Update
I recently posed a video about my experience with Pimax Customer Support. ruclips.net/video/YxpVNxB1yS8/видео.html That video not only caught the attention of thousands of current and potential Pimax customers, but also the attention of Pimax itself. In the spirit of fairness, I felt it was only right to allow Pimax to respond to the video and give their side of the story. Please join myself and head of communications for Pimax, Jaap Grolleman, as we talk about what happened and how Pimax plans to fix things moving forward. I also ask Jaap about the Pimax 12K and how it fits into the future plans for Pimax.

There will always be those who are never satisfied. When a company is breaking the boundaries of technology and offering great value for money at the same time things will undoubtably be 'experimental' at launch and early adopters should realise this and work with the manufacturer to provide successful support. If we all get up in arms when things go wrong then companies such as Pimax will cease to exist and to our detriment. True supporters will keep on working together to achieve that lasting smile when we realise the full potential of our equipment. I have already paid for the Crystal Super on day 1 of the pre-order announcement and look forward to working together when that hits the floor along with any likely teething problems. 😉
Warranty's are a scam to begin with. Why would we buy a $1500 headset that doesn't work for at least two years. I agree, 7 Months of functionality is pretty bad.

You only made me go and order a H6 after watching these and seeing the Black Friday deals. Still a bit confused about motion compensation after watching your videos which is probably just me but it seems the methods you've shown mean I have to either use a outside in HMD with base stations or a Quest 3 with pro controllers - is that right? No other options for inside out HMDs?
Ordered a Crystal Light a few days ago and it arrived yesterday. It has same much mura like the PSVR2 and the software and everthing around is worst. 4 times firmwareupdate failed, desktopscreen allway turn on and off cause the crystal reconnects every 5 secounds, the screen was flickering and my skin hurts from the foam they use. I want to give it a chance cause I love that Pimax invests that much in PCVR but that very very strong mura was the reason for me to sent it back today.
As collaborators with PIMAX, our experience with their support team was great. Of course, as we showcase their products and having a direct line to the company itself helps take down any time delays, and fortifies a good experience. From comments and discussion in our community, we noticed 3 trends: The users that bought or tried PIMAX products and fell in love with the crystal clear view and wide FOV and would never go back to a lesser headset. Then the users who got PIMAX products but encountered issues, either setup or faults that would still be included in the warranty, or even compatibility issues due to their systems. Nr.3 are the users who never tried PIMAX and because of certain views and opinions on the internet, deem that PIMAX is just not for them, or argue with the price. We understand that VR is not tailored for everyone, not yet at least. PIMAX has to grow and with more Transparency and a good collaboration with Game Devs, companies like this, have a clear path to success.
Did you have any issues with your trial headsets?
@@loudmaster98 With the Pimax Crystal, I had to unplug my extra monitors (known situation) in order to make it work properly. Setup went alright after that. With the Crystal Light I was using the old software and got in touch with PIMAX that told me to make sure I download the new one. I fly in DCS and my system is about to get a big upgrade. Despite having another VR headset, I stick with the Crystal Light for now.
These videos are all just completely full of fake comments. Nearly every comment is a bot account with 4 numbers or a hacked account or another RUclipsr shilling for pimax. This company needs to be barred from doing business with anyone outside of China. Ban them at the payment processor level. Do not give this company money.
bet they are made for $50 in some 3rd world s=hole. I will never by another Meta product either... my Oculus sucks...
To be fair they have great visuals when you get one that is not defective and until it breaks... so maybe you are right on the $50! Thanks for watching.
Virtual reality headsets
Yep, and some tips to go along with them.
Thank you so very much. I now know at least what I'm NOT upgrading to.
Happy to help. Right now I think the Quest 3 (NOT 3S) is a very good value for how good the visuals are. Just a thought. Thanks for watching.
@@GYGOtv Thank you so much for that recommendation!!!
@@dabneyoffermein595 No problems, here are my videos about it ruclips.net/video/fRrJ7oUANmg/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/jV5otY20y0U/видео.html Plus if you are new to VR, this one is a good watch from last year ruclips.net/video/opD35xl5PwA/видео.html Hope they help.
For dark games, the PSVR2 is much better than the Quest3, I only do simulation, and having constant image compression with the Quest3 didn't suit me anymore, I took the PSVR2 for 350 with adapter, and frankly it's great, the oled is great, and the difference in definition is really negligible. I will never come back to the Quest3 for simulation.
Thanks for the comment, I DO love OLED but can't go back to Fresnel Lenses. The MeganeX is looking promising. I always hear about this compression, but both Jeff and I don't hardly see it at all with the av1 codec and a 6E router, it looks just as good as a wired DP headset for both of us. Just my 2 cents.
@GYGOtv Yes it shows well, but in reality in space or night flights like MFS2024, you lose a lot of details with the Quest3, I can tell you that after testing both vr headsets in the same conditions, it's just like water and wine. I didn't think you could lose so much from one vr headset to another. In addition the immersion of the PSVR2 is much better thanks to the binocular overlap and FOV of 110. In addition, it is more comfortable, you don't feel it on your face. Yes I'm also waiting for the new 2025 releases, Samsung, Steam, we'll see Yes.
@@OlivierFablu-c9m You are preaching to the choir here... I think OLED are unbeatable, but I'll take pancake lenses with LCD vs. Fresnel with OLED... personal choice but I HATE the glare and godrays from Fresnel, and if you turn the brightness down on the Quest 3, it is similar to the blacks of the Crystal with the local dimming set low. Again, I hear what you are saying and not saying you are wrong. Just might be different what each of us is looking for in the headset. That is why I like the look of the MeganeX... Pancake Lenses with minimal glare AND OLED... seems like a good combo to me. Thanks for the comment.
@GYGOtv Yes but surprisingly there is not much glare godrays in PSVR2, much less than a Vive pro or a reverb G2, I don't know how Sony did it, but it's very good. You should try it, it would make a nice video 😉
To be fair, firehouse subs aren't that great. Lol. 😂
Everybody is asking where you are... I think they miss you!
Jaap from Pimax only replied to a handful of comments here, and already disappeared more than 24 hours ago lol.
Hi
we need this damn Index2, deckard whatever. it can't be true that we need this poor company to drive high end pcvr. im sick of the Q3, no dimming, bo is weak, sound is joke. thanks for that, i was really thinking about (pre) order the super
We can hope Deckard is close and seems like it might be as they just talked about "Roy" the controllers. I still like the Quest 3 for the value considering the price. I guarantee the Deckard is going to be $1500 to $2000 easily. Thanks for watching.
@GYGOtv yeah you're right, Q3 is a bargain for that price, but as a spoiled first world citizen im okay with up to 1,5k max pain 2k for a good hmd. I just want more then Q3 offers, supremeX is 1900$+Controller+LH (we will see if they deliver, talk is cheap), HTC is just disappointment in every way, BSB narrow fov + god rays etc 😅 the last hope is valve 😄 thanks for your videos
Unfortunately with this video you confirm my concerns about this young/little company..I've been saving money to buy a Crystal light to replace my "old" Reverb G2 to play DCS but now that I've seen your video, I'm sure I won't buy It and when my G2 will stop working properly (hope as late as possible) I'll look somewhere else...Thank you!!!
I highly recommend the Quest 3 (not Quest 3S), it is what I've been using since sending back my Pimax and it is a surprisingly good VR experience that wont break the bank. I just did my livestream playing Elite Dangerous in it, and several times I was impressed with the visuals. It is the best value in VR right now in my opinion and with the pancake lenses you will see more FOV and clearer edge to edge clarity over your G2. Just a recommendation for you. Thanks for watching.
Why cant we still buy the Crystal! for those who waited and now want one its impossible, As a Crystal OG users all the promotions are for the Light. I am tired of hearing about the Light. Where is our wide FOV lenses? Personally i would rather say keep them as I ordered a Super which also sucked because you offered one version. Been waiting since the original announcement for the 50PPD version. I ordered a 57PPD version because historically PIMAX can only focus on one headset so if a person chooses to wait we will never see it. I don't want to wait another year for the 50PPD version. I owned the 5k plus, 8k plus, 8k X and Crystal OG and for the first time I feel like as a Crystal OG owner let down. here is just one example - o to Pimax and use the code DCS2024 at checkout to receive 15,000 ED Miles when purchasing a Pimax Crystal Light VR headset
I partook in pimax's fake peroder for the super months ago. My bad for being so ignorant. With all there shady business practices they will not be getting a dime from me.
Hi, reservations ($1) started in April, pre-orders have only started last week.
you have to remember you are seeing more issues because they are selling way more headsets
no they aren't, they are still irrelevant as shown by hardware surveys.
@SINfromPL dude I am talking about as a percentage of previous sales not as compared to market. What other company sells VR and only VR and has more market? Non
@montrose699 you don't know anything about their sales. Absolutely nothing. So saying they are selling more is just unfounded.
@SINfromPL they already stated they sold more Crystal Lights than any of their other headsets to date. So ya I do. What do you know?
@montrose699 yeah, so what do you know? They already stated 100 things over the past years that are still nowhere in sight. They already promised better qc and customer service, multiple times. So yeah, what do you know?
Ty for the video. I made the mistake of pre-ordering the pimax super just to waste my money now that they did another pre-order! They will never get another dime from me.
I understand. I hope they eventually sort all this out and can be trusted again... but I'm not holding my breath because I've heard all this before. Thanks for watching.
There is very little to compete in the high end retail market either! I feel like the Light has taken over which sucks for people who wanted the Crystal OG or packages based on that. PIMAX only sold the product for a few months!
😁
Well done pimax hopefully this will end poor customer care.👏👏👏
spoiler alert - it did not
I feel sorry for the Pimax representative having to try to address Western well-established consumer protection laws and norms with Pimax’s actual (terrible and unfair) draconian processes.
Pimax FAILED. They failed in QC and they failed in customer service. Thanks to the previous video I know why Pimax is delaying out replacement lens. And the customer service folks have a language barrier.
Interesting point, but failure usually is visible in sales... PIMAX is leading this year in sales and we still have a month to go. Despite all the issues, they are selling like hotcakes!
I use my reverb G2 as long as it works. The start with HP was also not fluid but got a new cable after a phone call without problems. 4 years old now and still works fine on win 10. I also won't pay $1500 for a VR headset! -_-
You could look at at Quest 3 (NOT 3S) when you are ready to move from the G2. It is an amazing headset that I highly recommend. I just used it now that I returned my Pimax and was amazed how close to the Crystal experience it really is. Best value in VR right now if you ask me.
A company run by amateurs.. Looks pretty much like the chinese company i was working for early this year. No insurance, no properly Trained staff, staff not knowing how to tackle claims (how should they without insurance), absolute beginners in management and leadership. Started with 3 others. All of them left in the 1st week. I quited after 5 months as it was almost impossible to get chinese Management understand that things (legally) work different in Europe than in China and certain things are a legal must and not an option. 1 time my very young chinese Branch Manager told me that we adhere to chinese law as we were a Chinese company... Forgetting that we were a registered entity in Europa country. It's the mindset which they have Hard time to understand because things in China work differently
Hi just purscahsed a H6. I have Pimax crystal light with controllers. Can I use one of them as a tracking device? If not would you be able to provide a link for what I can use? I have today witmotion sensor, but as I understand I`m not able to use that one fro the H6. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the question, It depends on if you are racing or flying... I explain it all in the video at 8:30, you are using Inside Out Tracking for reference. Let me know if you have other questions after you watch.
@GYGOtv thanks. I will rewatch the video. I will be flying.
@@nicolaiiversen165 Ya you will probably need to go with a lighthouse solution if you are doing any dogfighting or looking around. For GA you "might" be ok. In Dogfights, you wont be looking at the controller all the time and it will lose tracking when you do (very unpleasant experience when that happens). If you do try the Pimax controller, you will still want to use either BuzzteeBear or Dschadu's program... the Pimax Motion Comp sucks as I mention at the end. Good Luck
I was one of the first to purchase the Crystal when it was released, part of the package then was the additional wider FOV lenses, and like you prior to receiving the headset I received an offer email from Pimax asking if I would wait for the glass version of the wide FOV lens to be released an have these instead of the plastic version, I have asked the question also chasing these but did not receive any update on when these would be forth coming. As I have now owned my Crystal for over a year and my warranty has now lapsed do you think that we will still be getting these when they are eventually released.
Exactly the same, except they sent me the absolutely useless higher PPD plastic lenses instead.
I was just about to place an order, luckily i saw your video, I wil never buy any product from pimax from now on.
Thanks for watching. I certainly think that will save you some potential aggravation. Just incase you didn't see it, we did a follow-up video to this as well. ruclips.net/video/BEPegfAyf2I/видео.html hope you enjoy.
Already bought the Pimax Super because my Crystal Light is so incredible. It's hard to believe They're gonna build a headset better than the light is now.
Anyone have a TLDR? I can't listen to corpo-speak.
TLDR: everyone has issues with everything, and if you're not a youtuber, you don't get any help, pimax response: yep, i hear you, thanks
I am planning on getting the Crystal Super. But you probably need to pair it an RTX 5090 😂. My wallet will have ptsd.
I don't own a Pimax in fact i never heard of them until this video appeared on my feed but it sounds like they are getting a glut of support tickets requests that is overwhelming their support agent(s). It would be interesting for them to share stats around: 1. Publish the top 3 or 5 issues - something we can learn as a community. 2. The number of tickets received vs. their response time vs. actual resolution. 3. # of headsets that required replacement due to beyond economical repair In the spirit of transparency, I own Pico, HTCs and Meta Quests headsets - each has their own nuances and issues but at the end of the day it must just simply, work!
There are surly not many representatives of companies who would react so positively and directly to the customer like Pimax. I had only helpful people in Pimax support. I look forward very much to the Pimax Super. 👍
Hearing a lot of “we should” and wondering if that will translate to them actually taking action.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to hold off for now
Does the Pimax PR dept actually, genuinely believe that the money it's spending on all these AI bot comments is worth a flying fk at a rolling donut?! Hilarious! And breathtaking too! :D
I wouldn't be so sure if they are bots. People can get very tribal about their headset. Especially pimax ab-users. These people sold their souls because "high resolution high end uncompressed pcvr".
@@SINfromPL Nah, the syntax gives it away. It's most likely an outfit in India they're paying to generate them.
if you want an high end oled hmd look at the megane x 8k superlight. Should be the same Panel as Pimax Crystals super Oled version. And it looks much more compfortable and lighter.
the problem with meganeX is 1900$ without tracking or controller, beside that I'm fan of LH tracking, but I don't want to have base stations anymore, Stand alone tracking is enough for most of the time. I'd have to buy 2x LH + controller, so I'd end up at 2500$..
I understand the frustration but i think its not cool to be so harsh up front without giving this man his stage to explain from his viewpoint. And to be honest I'm hoping for this company to be a wonderful company to deal with I just ordered the super and I am really looking forward to it
"Overpromising and underdelivering" from a Chinese company, what a shocker. :) Thanks for the video, I haven't really considered getting a Pimax anyway, but it's good to know it's exactly like other "miracle" devices from China.
Hey Mark, I'm just catching up with all this as it's been such a busy week with the new sim release 😵 It's so sad to see Pimax are still struggling with poor customer service and QC issues. Especially as this has been a big problem for too long now. While most of my community seem to be extremely happy with their Crystals, I feel for those who get a dodgy unit. Thankfully my Discord has been an effective way for users to get direct contact with Pimax. I'd urge anyone struggling with their ticket, to head over there and we will get you sorted. I will be making my own video in relation to this, because it's simply not good enough. Great video mate, you are such an ambassador for our hobby. Speak soon.
What, a new flight sim came out this week? :) Thanks for the comment my friend, I'd argue you are a much better ambassador than I am, but I'll take the compliment (If only I could learn a British Accent I could class up my videos a little). BTW Just in case you didn't see it, Pimax and I did a response video ruclips.net/video/BEPegfAyf2I/видео.html BUT I'm staying out of the comments on that one (this one has been hard enough to keep up on). I appreciate that Pimax is trying to take care of me now, but I tend to agree with the commenters here that if I hadn't made the video I don't think I would have seen this result. Of course I could never prove that, but that is my gut feeling. Always look forward to your videos, and I will certainly watch your Pimax one. Thanks for stopping by!
I am impressed that Pimax did this video, honors to them. After your last video, i ordered a quest3, comes with the mail today. I will do followups to see what the future comes with. // newbie at VR!
Nice to see that Pimax/Japp decided to show up on Your channel. I'm not doubting for a minute that it's a matter of bad communication internally. Some people just do what their told, exactly what their told and nothing more/less. Hopefully, they (1st line) can make a habit of asking internally, before replying like they did in Your case.
I respect Pimax for coming on the stream to try PR. However, there is a lot of reputation damage associated with Pimax and has been for years. While customer service improvement plans are good and necessary, a fair judgement can only be made on their implementation over time. For the time being I shall remain cautiosly sceptical.
