@dtz1000 absolutely not! It's basically mandatory for DCS and other developers need to get on the quad views wagon as well. Even without quad views eye tracking is a god send. If you don't want eye tracking, go with Meganex or BSB.
It's exactly the same optical engine as on the Crystal Super so they share so many resources, also on software. It's not a fully new headset in that way.
@@JaapGrollemanThat isn't a huge sharing of resources by any means. You can purchase premade optical assemblies. At least in my experience it's arguably one of the simpler pieces of the HMD, long as you aren't designing the optical assembly yourself. That doesn't mean we can confidently expect the company to figure out thermals, tracking, those new controllers, a motorized headstrap and mechanical IPD system, and fit this all into the form factor you've just shown us in that extremely shoddy render, then take that from design to full scale production in just 4 months. That is ridiculous. I'd be skeptical of a 4 month promise even if you had a complete prototype, and not just an ugly 3D print and an uglier render. Pimax's past promises have shown a common theme here, and if I were a betting man I would bet a large amount that this thing doesn't ship on time.
@@shamarneedham1990not really it has a PC Display port! To me this headset is much better than the super. The super makes only sense with the 120Hz Qled panels and maybe a better FOV.
I did not purchase the Crystal cuz i wanted the Crystal Light! But i decided not to purchase the Light cuz now i want and waiting for the Super... Now i dont want the Super cuz i now want the Dream Air!!...jeez Pimax..WTF!...REALLY?
Jack of all trades, master of none. Your management of your product catalog will kill your company if you keep releasing headsets this way. How do you not see that?
@montrose699 yea maybe to a niche audience 🤔 but I have to agree nobody likes buying something and waiting for it then the company launches a new product before the previous one even reaches you it just shows the focus is split and it tends to become a trend that comes along with many issues
@kmyymk2 yes but we need these niche players who are pushing the boundaries. What are SIm users like myself to purchase if PIMAX wasn't hear today? Nothing else compares unless you want to pay double or triple. There are plenty of mainstream VR options not high end
If you are talking 12k then just block the channel and don't bother replying lol a 4090 can't handle a 4k per eye headset above 100 fps let alone the 12k..
It's exactly the same optical engine as on the Crystal Super so they share so many resources, also on software. It's not a fully new headset in that way.
Just Blow my mind !!! It just killed the Crystal Super and the SuperLight 8K at the same time... (the Super still has the FOV for simmers, but that's all). I want it !
So rather than fixing your current lineup of shit ass broken headsets and terrible QC, you're just going to release yet another headset to hide your faulty previous versions?
Unbelievable... I'm still waiting on my WFOV lenses, promised 6 months ago. I bought the 8KX, but they never got the bugs completely corrected, however, like the idiot I must be, I still purchased the Crystal and I've spent more time troubleshooting than flying. I'm looking to go OLED but it ain't gonna be Pimax.
Ngl this headset seems like almost the perfect headset, the fact its inside out tracking yet targetted at vrchat players seems counter intuitive, considering most of us use full body which requires base station tracking so hopefully that base station tracking face plate will come soon after its release, also having eye tracking but no face tracking is a little dissapointing as atm the only headset that offers both is the quest pro, which quite frankly kinda sucks, and I've desperately been looking for another option, I'm also curious just how good the mic will sound on the Dream Air as the last headset I owned from Pimax had a terrible microphone, I am very excited to see if this headset ends up being real though I will definitely be purchasing it, just need to wait and see someone have some hands on experience with it so I know if this really is too good to be true because I have been scorned in the past
You have to admire the commitment to create new cutting edge products. They do seem to enjoy making a rod for their own back with delivering a quality product in these timeframes.
Yeah meanwhile valve still shipping the index 😂 idk why people hating on pimax they're super innovative. Basically the only company doing it and they aren't even a big company.
@ the super looks like it exists, will see when it starts shipping. They have definitely been pushing VR forward in terms of tech, you can’t deny that.
Yupppp!!! I got a 5k super for the same reason... In my mind, they simply scammed me into getting a headset they will never release... I just came here to express my disapproval of this new headset, and to push the narrative that you should follow thru if you promise a 12k headset.... Never again...
Pimax has announced _8_ headsets inserted ahead of the 12K so far. Crystal (OG) Portal (VR version) Crystal Light (non-local dimming, which also didn't ship) Crystal Light (local dimming) Crystal Super (57PPD QLED) Crystal Super (50PPD QLED) Crystal Super (OLED) Dream Air
Qled panels are bigger than oled panels. Bigger FOV, bigger lenses. The smaller fits always in a bigger box. If you only bother about mini Oled with a bad FOV, wait for the air. Otherwise buy a super with Qled panels and a cheaper interchangeable Oled module.
I'm not doubting this exists at least in functional-prototype form, but starting to think the announcement timing is intended to drive traffic to the Pimax booth at CES as well as fresh inquiries from venture capital interested in bleeding-edge tech investments. Fingers crossed, but now I'm one of those postponing a Super order even further.
I like how the comment section is all about how this is not necessary, while people literally were asking for this. And I love where the company is going personally. I can imagine using this for friends when they come over, but maybe a super for Assetto Corsa.
So it’s actually $2,000 after the required $700 app purchase… EDIT: Oh thats pre order price btw. The headset will actually cost closer to $2500 with the app purchase upon release.
Actually it's about $1,900 but point taken. So, what do you think is a fair price for this product, if it meets the advertised cutting-edge specs? $700? $500? Free? From what I'm hearing about BOM cost estimates, the panels alone will cost Pimax close to $1,000 at current supply-limited pricing. You can always buy a Quest 3 for cheap.
@@ptmavic8995 Module cost 600 or 700. So it just a matter of extra interfaces, tracking cameras and software. Would be an insta-buy for 1600 from me. Make controllers optional. Make advanced strap optional. Maybe it is 1600-1500 for any flight and racing fan.
@@ptmavic8995 i would love to see a budget option stripped back version (no eye tracking, no face tracking, 2k lcd panels, display port...for $800. and then have this OLED version for $1900). there are currently zero ultralight inside out tracked headsets for under $1500 (big screen beyond plus base stations and coontrollers is $1500).
Pancake lenses design is very hard to get right, Eg Big screen..With Pimax's history, I would not touch either of their new products until I have seen consumers reviews.
This company is run by a teenager with ADD. How about focusing on ONE product and making it great with great customer service to go with it. The Crystal Super, even with all the confusing engine options, has great promise. It marks all the checkboxes for what an awesome PCVR headset should be in my opinion. Being all over the place does not instill faith as a customer.
Jaap you several times told in the last couple of months looking right into the camera that Pimax started to focus way more on customers' opinions and will not repeat the mistakes of the past. Now the fact you announce this new headset proves completely the opposite way. In addition please stop deliberately misleading your customers! Just a few examples: - 6:31 "Especially since we launched Crystal Super" - No, you haven't launched Crystal Super. You announced it and took preorders. Huge difference! - 10:04 "We use a Display Port connection" - No, you don't! You use a type-c c connection which has got one third of the bandwidth of DP1.4 I had so much hope for you guys after your recent videos about importance of honesty to customers. I am extremely disappointed now and I am sure I'm not alone with this opinion.
I've said it before, he has no control over anything and he is just white actor for Chinese company. Just a talking head. In this video we have two new presenters that just pop in without any real introduction
@@SINfromPL Well it seems it is not inconvinient for him to be the "talking head" of Pimax. As a customer I think we have the right to send criticism right to him because he was the one who personally promised being truthfull to their audience.
2552*3840*2(eyes)*90(Hz)*8(bits per color) is 58.9 Gbps. Current NVIDA graphics cards until 4090 only support DP1.4, which maximum Total Data Rate is 25.9 Gbps. So a native VR DisplayPort1.4 has to use DSC visual loss-less compression to make it possible. The same apply when you use a USB-C cable in DisplayPort Alt-Mode, it depends on USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps) USB4 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) USB4 Gen 3x2(40 Gbps) Pimax could clarify what versions of DP and USB will be supported. In any case, all those 20Gbps are huge compared with the 200Mbps (100 times less) decoding limit of all Standalone headsets with XR2-Gen2 chips like Quest3 or Pico4 or SamsungXR
If this is another headset and they didn't even release the other ones this is crazy! It doesn't matter what the headset they're talking about if it's not the super it doesn't matter they will never release it. it'll take forever and they can't even get the ones they have working correctly. They make me nervous I already pre-ordered the super now I'm starting to wonder if anything will ever get working or released actually shipped. They have too many projects how are they ever even got enough manpower to even release these things and release them working perfectly!😮
Front heavy headset??? Yess of course we need that! Unnecessary self adjust head strap??? Give me that tooo! Sell that thing before you fix all your bugs and features from previous headsets, all this make so much sense!!! Yesss please Pimax release 3 headsets a year please!!! Wiiii
That's (atleast in theory) what the 12k qled is suppose to be, but at this point that seems more like a fantasy then a product that will ever be in consumers hands, and with how they are pricing these models, that thing will probably end up costing over 3k when it releases (and that was before trumps tariffs)
@@LeonardBrownArtbyLeonard i was diehard with the 8kx too, ive only recently swapped to a q3 due to my index controllers breaking. I do really miss having such a wide FOV, but I think now ir would feel way too fuzzy since im used to the higher ppi of the q3. The 12k will likely be the next pimax headset I purchase (if they are still around by the time they figure out how to make it lol)
@@metalmanexetreme Crystal Super (57 PPD, 120 degrees h.FOV) and Crystal Super with 50 PPD, 135 degree h.FOV lenses will easily, by far, be the best image quality & h.FOV combo in the VR headset market. Nothing else even comes close.
Instead of the new headset I would like to see the accesorries which were promised for the Crystal: WideFoV lenses (for which I received a coupon 1.5+ years ago) and the wireless module.
@@HeadsetHistorianCorrection... You said about the wireless module "it's shipping in April". You should probably say "Pimax says it's shipping in April".
@@danceoffAshThe problem is that Pimax already collected our money - 2nd pair of lenses was promised in the Crystal preorder deal nearly 2 years ago. Would be convenient to "forget" this and focus on the new products...
I see most of your comments are frustrated people that are saying you don't focus on the headsets, and you jump to the next too quickly. I have owned the 8kx and the Pimax crystal. I had frustrations with both, but also loved both for certain reasons. Your headsets are far from perfect, but there is no perfect replacement. I currently have a preorder for the immersed visor. This looks like the gaming version of that. I think it looks amazing, but as people say, you might, and probably won't deliver fully on promises. Forget the Puck, just recommend something like a handheld windows based gaming device or a GPD device which are small yet powerful just to run a film etc and 2d gaming. Focus on delivering each headset you decide. Good to see companies pushing the boundaries, even if it just helps develop greater products in the coming generations with the current ones leading the curve and having some pioneering issues. Also, there are very few companies interested or able to start in VR, with the market share being with meta. I'm glad pimax are working on things, and I understand them not wanting to stand still. Interesting, and frustrating, but still interesting (from my perspective atleast and I know it will be different from alot of people but hey!) 👍
It looks great, other than the auto-adjustments, they're all points of failure or suboptimal setup. Will wait until it ships and there are some independent reviews.
I have a super on order, I hope Pimax isn't spreading themselves too thin. That's great, "since we launched the Super" but you haven't launched it yet 😝A marketing release, which is usually "Pie in the Sky" is not a launch. I so want Pimax to succeed and hope for the best, but time will tell.
I would have cared if it wasn't in 7 months. Now you're letting all the other industry giants they have to compete in that price range. Within that time frame, there will probably be other headsets announced that will better satisfy people with lower costs and 120hz support. I'm all for Pimax but I'm here for large FOV, high refresh rate, high quality pancake optics and near identical eye PPD resolution. Despite being small, this headset does not satify me because it does not have extended fov. That's what pimax is known for. You're also selling dreams with the 12K and there has been no news about it, why would I take time to look into anything that is not the 12K ? This new headset is simply a lightweight crystal with the crystal features.
You cannot have high PPD displays, with pancake optics and high FOV. You don't understand how basic VR technology and display optics works. FOV comes at the expense of clarity. You're essentially asking for a device to be a telescope and a microscope at the same time, or demanding a track race car with SUV storage.
Please STOP announcing a new headset every 6 months. focus on the current headsets you have out. Its like you release a headset, it has tons of problems And you just ignore it and everyone that has problems with it. basically making us a beta tester, then you just come out with another 6 months later. And any issues we have, we're stuck with them. and you dont even focus on the other products you promised for years....
With some of the community already reporting poor after sales due to faulty headsets. Some including myself are nervous to purchase the crystal atm. Quality over quantity please.
They've come a long way and I've been enjoying their headsets. 8KX, Crystal Sim and Light. Quality has been consistent so far without any issues. I am happy with my current headsets, but going to grab the dream air and so should you.
@@JasonIdkau-pw8hi False 'survivor bias'. "It works for me, so you must be the issue" Pimax are FUCKING INFAMOUS for their shit ass quality and terrible customer support. I went through FOUR fucking 5k+'s trying to get a good one before forcing a return via Chargeback... after them telling me I was the problem, even though it was clearly their shit ass screens showing up DOA, and then trying to upsell me on an 8KX that they didn't know when the stock would be in, and it would have ended up costing me MORE money than just buying an 8KX outright...
@@JasonIdkau-pw8hi as someone who recently bought into pimax I saw the arguments about how terrible they used to be and heard the arguments of how much better their products are these days, however upon receiving my crystal light it stopped working on my pc after 1 day, for the one day I got to use it I could not get my eyes to focus at all. I couldn't fix whatever broke it so I had to send it back and never got a chance to figure out why the image was so faulty for my eyes
I dont want to be overly negative, but I really don't think that this video did a good enough job comparing the Super to the Dream. Eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Super, and now this video just confuses me and makes me wonder if I made the wrong choice. @Pimax, please make a detailed, head-to-head, spec-to-spec comparison of these headsets. Particularly with high-end PC gaming, what am I gaining from using the Crystal Super over the Dream Air? Because from what I can tell, the only thing you sacrifice with the Dream Air is modularity, which is an easy ommission given the lighter, smaller, and I'm assuming more comfortable form factor.
But a bit of relaxation? They have already said that for the 12K it will take time since the results are not what they hoped for. It is now clear that they will focus on selling the Light and the Super, in addition to improving everything that revolves around these two visors. Maybe they will only want to announce new partnerships and accessories for their visors.
Pimax should have postponed this announcement. It's really tone deaf of them to dangle yet another headset in front of customers in hopes of distracting from the major issues plaguing their current line of headsets. Fix the quality control issues of the current headsets first and deliver on the promised features/addons before taking on yet another headset. Why would Pimax expect people to risk $1900 - $2000 on this thing when they're struggling to deliver your current headsets which are based on a design that's been out for over a year and a half? After hearing about the absurd amount of RMA's and returns Pimax should extend the warranty on their products if they want to be taken seriously. And it doesn't even look like they have a working prototype yet.
I really like this form factor and the fact that it has dynamic Fov Rendering does put it above the other small form factor headsets by a LOT since you need that to run such a high resolution. My only real gripe is that it's not wireless. I get that the resolution is too high for wireless, but they should have an option to have wireless with less resolution. That would be a no brainer purchase for me. Just having such a high resolution panel would still make lower resolutions look amazing with wireless.
Who doesn't like it? But its vaporware until its real. They don't even have a prototype. Don't you see the 3D printed model she's holding. What other company in existence would do this? Its not even painted, lol. Anyone with a copy of blender and a 3D printer could deliver what we got from Pimax today.
@@rimereit Just to clarify the pixel count: - 4K display: 8,3 M - Super and Dream Air: 14,7 M (per eye) - 29,5 M total - 8K display: 33 M So the accurate name would be Pimax Dream Air Almost 8K :))
Preorders take years with Pimax. My preorder of the OG crystal took years, and they haven't released the Airlink I pre-ordered last year and don't even get me started on the wide lenses they promised...Really wish they'd deliver on their old promises before making new ones.
I am on my 4th generation of headsets from vive and pimax and I am very excited to be able to wear a headset that is so light and comfortable as this the dream appears to be. The one thing I dislike about my prior experience with high end headsets is that they "fry" your hair and it takes a couple of showers to go back to normal. This headset is designed either intentfully or serendipitously to achieve this result. I will be ordering it today.
Another very promising product. If pimax aren't dominating the vr space in 2 years, then they must have completely failed in the after care department again. The price of this is insane for the specs!
Maybe the Cobb puck they mentioned at the end will do just that. Imo wireless PCVR is a good feature that would be really nice but standalone is skippable especially with such high res headsets.
@@lacedchemist1295 Nope. No VR wireless function in the puck. But considering they now have the Crystal's wireless pack, they could easily adapt that into the puck. They just don't wanna 😄
Pimax, I know you get a LOT of hate, but I would like to thank you for pushing the boundaries of VR regardless. The main thing that personally bothers me about this company is that you don't send review units to influencers (except for MRTV, who I don't trust). Send some to Thrillseeker, SadlyItsBradly, VR Oasis, Cas and Cherry XR, The Mysticle, or Cai VR. I guess the VR community want's you to prove yourself before launching so many headsets. I personally think the more headsets the better, but people want these influencers to support you before they give you their money. If Thrillseeker gave this a very positive review, your reputation would increase dramatically in this community. Listen to the community, please. I want you to succeed so bad.
10:11 - "...Portability in mind..." but to use it when travelling it requires a portable computer (laptop) or the Pimax COBB (computation puck) to use ...right? As it itself is a tethered headset requiring a another device to feed data to it unlike an AIO HMD unlike Pimax's "VR 3.0" goals/standards as presented in Pimax Frontier 2021 (the "12K QLED" reveal).
This is absolutely Fantastic news!!! A smaller unit is so welcome along with high specs and comfort. Pimax Team your heading in the right direction. 💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯
Come on guys. Why? You haven't released the Super yet. Focus on perfecting supporting one product. And why not announce it once it's ready and can be pre-ordered?
102 FOV is wide FOV ? haha, i laugh as hell as this can make me a day. PIMAX, you make us disappointed, keep failing our expectations, keep lying to us. This is how PIMAX waste our(buyer) money, and wasting a good panel to such trash FOV, PIMAX hire trash dev and tech people, rather buy apple vision pro more than buy this, if you dont make it REAL WIDE FOV
Though everyone's critical comments about Pimax trying to release too many products at once are totally on point, this is the headset they should have developed and announced to begin with. Small and light for the win.
From Pimax website: Nvidia's most powerful graphics card, Nvidia 4090, can drive display devices up to 8K at 60Hz with a single video interface. So that's enough for the Pimax 8K and Crystal or Crystal Light, but already, these headsets run close to the limits of the DP1.4 interface. The bandwidth of Display 1.4 is 32.4Gbps, but the effective bandwidth - or throughput - is actually 25.9Gbps. When the Crystal Light or Crystal runs a refresh rate of 120 Hz and uses Display Stream Compression, the actual used bandwidth is very very close to this value. Then the last bit of bandwidth, we need for more things than just the image. Think about the SLAM tracking algorithm, hand tracking, MR image processing, image stitching, eye-tracking, and audio. We can push the screen compression a bit more, it's visually lossless, but even with that, for the 12K we cannot achieve the required bandwidth. We tried a dual DP1.4 solution, with a dual bridge chip. But we're not satisfied with this solution and its outcome on the visual quality. So we need to wait for a GPU with a DP 2.1 interface, which Nvidia right now does not have. AMD does have one, but there is currently no suitable bridge chip to support it.
Thanks to this Pimax Prime stuff I have no clue what the actual price is. With currency conversion there are three different prices, I have to assume the main big number price shown is actually fake because it seems low and the actual amount I'm paying is more and includes some kind of subscription, and I'm not sure what the total in my currency is. And then add shipping? Duty? Thanks for confusing me.
Pimax Prime is absolute garbage that should just go away. Has zilch to do with a "subscription", despite them calling it that. Until they fire their management it will remain a crap company.

Speak for yourself. You don't represent all of us.
My guess is these announcements aren't for us consumers. They're likely hunting for investors to keep the company afloat.
A self adjusting head strap is unnecessary complexity that adds cost and a failure point. Ditch it
Completely agree. Just keep it simple and cheap and offer a higher end modular audio strap as an option. Not every wheel needs to be reinvented.
Looks unnecessary on the surface, but for users/operators of motion sims, the brisk or violent movements of the sim may shift the focus visual area on your headset. Great innovation, perhaps! Respectfully.
They should also get rid of the eye tracking as it adds too much cost for no benefit in MS Flight Simulator and most other games.

Ngl this headset seems like almost the perfect headset, the fact its inside out tracking yet targetted at vrchat players seems counter intuitive, considering most of us use full body which requires base station tracking so hopefully that base station tracking face plate will come soon after its release, also having eye tracking but no face tracking is a little dissapointing as atm the only headset that offers both is the quest pro, which quite frankly kinda sucks, and I've desperately been looking for another option, I'm also curious just how good the mic will sound on the Dream Air as the last headset I owned from Pimax had a terrible microphone, I am very excited to see if this headset ends up being real though I will definitely be purchasing it, just need to wait and see someone have some hands on experience with it so I know if this really is too good to be true because I have been scorned in the past
another headset? should I regret my "super" pre-order???
exactly my thoughts....
Why would you regret it? You can still cancel
Apple Vision Pro... as made by Pimax, Pimax (something) Air
Ma questa è una cuffia gaming ?
Yes, another headset, but a different form.
I'd stick w the super for now unless you want portability / size in exchange of a few compromises.
Bruh. FOCUS ON ONE HEADSET AT A TIME
The original crystal still has issues and you haven't released wireless.
Pimax is like a kid in a candy store
You have to admire the commitment to create new cutting edge products. They do seem to enjoy making a rod for their own back with delivering a quality product in these timeframes.
Yeah meanwhile valve still shipping the index 😂 idk why people hating on pimax they're super innovative. Basically the only company doing it and they aren't even a big company.
@ They do need to make sure when these Supers ship they are next to perfect in terms of quality control or people will lose their minds
You mean their commitment to announcing them.
Not the same thing.
@ the super looks like it exists, will see when it starts shipping. They have definitely been pushing VR forward in terms of tech, you can’t deny that.
I bought the 8KX because the trade in deal with the 12K QLED. There has been 1, now 2 different headsets since I bought that like 3 years ago
Yupppp!!! I got a 5k super for the same reason... In my mind, they simply scammed me into getting a headset they will never release... I just came here to express my disapproval of this new headset, and to push the narrative that you should follow thru if you promise a 12k headset.... Never again...
Pimax has announced _8_ headsets inserted ahead of the 12K so far.
Crystal (OG)
Portal (VR version)
Crystal Light (non-local dimming, which also didn't ship)
Crystal Light (local dimming)
Crystal Super (57PPD QLED)
Crystal Super (50PPD QLED)
Crystal Super (OLED)
Dream Air
So you're telling me that the crystal super could've had the same form factor but instead of making it smaller you made an entirely separate headset?
Qled panels are bigger than oled panels. Bigger FOV, bigger lenses. The smaller fits always in a bigger box. If you only bother about mini Oled with a bad FOV, wait for the air. Otherwise buy a super with Qled panels and a cheaper interchangeable Oled module.
it couldnt have been the same size as theres limitations and compromises they have to make to make it smaller, its rather obvious
Yes. The Dream Air makes the OLED module for the Crystal Super essentially superfluous.
pimax finally trying to get these oversized headsets smaller is a long overdue.
I'm not doubting this exists at least in functional-prototype form, but starting to think the announcement timing is intended to drive traffic to the Pimax booth at CES as well as fresh inquiries from venture capital interested in bleeding-edge tech investments. Fingers crossed, but now I'm one of those postponing a Super order even further.
I love how compact the Pimax Dream Air is! If it had a 120° horizontal FOV and a 120Hz refresh rate, it would be an instant buy for me.
Pimax became a company based on their high FOV with the 5k and 8Kx headsets. It's stupid abandoning their primary market advantage.
sorry, no instant buy. we require an upfront payment and 24 installments.
is today april 1st?
Chinese New Year
@@VincentzrWang lmfao... I also thought this was a joke... The need to stop releasing new stuff and finish the 12k
Introducing a new headset before the rest are even released is insane. Especially when there's not anything physical to show off.
Now we understand the rush promotions to book Super orders before Christmas.
Because they're ready for shipping? That's why. Everyone can still cancel their pre-order, it's no big deal
Wooow - nice pimax - keep up your innovation line!!!
I like how the comment section is all about how this is not necessary, while people literally were asking for this. And I love where the company is going personally. I can imagine using this for friends when they come over, but maybe a super for Assetto Corsa.
So it’s actually $2,000 after the required $700 app purchase…
EDIT: Oh thats pre order price btw. The headset will actually cost closer to $2500 with the app purchase upon release.
Actually it's about $1,900 but point taken. So, what do you think is a fair price for this product, if it meets the advertised cutting-edge specs? $700? $500? Free? From what I'm hearing about BOM cost estimates, the panels alone will cost Pimax close to $1,000 at current supply-limited pricing. You can always buy a Quest 3 for cheap.
@@ptmavic8995 Module cost 600 or 700. So it just a matter of extra interfaces, tracking cameras and software. Would be an insta-buy for 1600 from me.
Make controllers optional. Make advanced strap optional. Maybe it is 1600-1500 for any flight and racing fan.
@@ptmavic8995 i would love to see a budget option stripped back version (no eye tracking, no face tracking, 2k lcd panels, display port...for $800. and then have this OLED version for $1900). there are currently zero ultralight inside out tracked headsets for under $1500 (big screen beyond plus base stations and coontrollers is $1500).
@@ptmavic8995 if the Super mOLED optical engine is selling for 700, you think they’re losing 300 for each one sold?
@@ptmavic8995 Just sell it for 2k and dont make people "subscribe" for 2 years. Simple.
Pancake lenses design is very hard to get right, Eg Big screen..With Pimax's history, I would not touch either of their new products until I have seen consumers reviews.
This company is run by a teenager with ADD. How about focusing on ONE product and making it great with great customer service to go with it. The Crystal Super, even with all the confusing engine options, has great promise. It marks all the checkboxes for what an awesome PCVR headset should be in my opinion. Being all over the place does not instill faith as a customer.
😂Any news on my wide fov lenses for my crystal or are they 75% complete?
Lol i can bet you they think people will just forget at some point. Fuck em.
@@olliebrown89 they have been 75% complete for 2 years.... It's a joke
After two years, they should be at least 76% done by now. There is progress at lease.
Finally, companies are starting to understand we want smaller and comfort. there is no immersion without comfort
I agree... I just hope to eventually see these form factors pushed to 110 degrees FOV. I am excited for the additional Lighthouse faceplate.
@@TheXev 110 deg focus sucks
@studentone2383 And you get a 102 FOV headset with a USB-C port. Bravo!
You haven't released super 3 versions yet and on top of that 12k and now another headset 😂
they said why they cant do 12k yet
Jaap you several times told in the last couple of months looking right into the camera that Pimax started to focus way more on customers' opinions and will not repeat the mistakes of the past. Now the fact you announce this new headset proves completely the opposite way. In addition please stop deliberately misleading your customers! Just a few examples:
- 6:31 "Especially since we launched Crystal Super" - No, you haven't launched Crystal Super. You announced it and took preorders. Huge difference!
- 10:04 "We use a Display Port connection" - No, you don't! You use a type-c c connection which has got one third of the bandwidth of DP1.4
I had so much hope for you guys after your recent videos about importance of honesty to customers. I am extremely disappointed now and I am sure I'm not alone with this opinion.
I've said it before, he has no control over anything and he is just white actor for Chinese company. Just a talking head. In this video we have two new presenters that just pop in without any real introduction
When you ask ChatGPT what to do to save your product line and you just read out a loud what ChatGPT said instead of actually doing it - be like
@@SINfromPL Well it seems it is not inconvinient for him to be the "talking head" of Pimax. As a customer I think we have the right to send criticism right to him because he was the one who personally promised being truthfull to their audience.
2552*3840*2(eyes)*90(Hz)*8(bits per color) is 58.9 Gbps.
Current NVIDA graphics cards until 4090 only support DP1.4, which maximum Total Data Rate is 25.9 Gbps.
So a native VR DisplayPort1.4 has to use DSC visual loss-less compression to make it possible.
The same apply when you use a USB-C cable in DisplayPort Alt-Mode, it depends on USB version:
USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps)
USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps)
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps)
USB4 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps)
USB4 Gen 3x2(40 Gbps)
Pimax could clarify what versions of DP and USB will be supported.
In any case, all those 20Gbps are huge compared with the 200Mbps (100 times less) decoding limit of all Standalone headsets with XR2-Gen2 chips like Quest3 or Pico4 or SamsungXR
I welcome all of these new headsets. Will this have colour passthrough?
If this is another headset and they didn't even release the other ones this is crazy! It doesn't matter what the headset they're talking about if it's not the super it doesn't matter they will never release it. it'll take forever and they can't even get the ones they have working correctly. They make me nervous I already pre-ordered the super now I'm starting to wonder if anything will ever get working or released actually shipped. They have too many projects how are they ever even got enough manpower to even release these things and release them working perfectly!😮
Now yall have my attention..finally!
Front heavy headset??? Yess of course we need that!
Unnecessary self adjust head strap??? Give me that tooo!
Sell that thing before you fix all your bugs and features from previous headsets, all this make so much sense!!! Yesss please Pimax release 3 headsets a year please!!! Wiiii
Please bring back a 180° horizontal FOV VR headset! No one needs a tiny 102° horizontal FOV headset. 😡
That's (atleast in theory) what the 12k qled is suppose to be, but at this point that seems more like a fantasy then a product that will ever be in consumers hands, and with how they are pricing these models, that thing will probably end up costing over 3k when it releases (and that was before trumps tariffs)
@@metalmanexetreme , SMH. I’m still using my Pimax 8KX from a couple of years ago. I hope the Pimax Super will be ready in a few months.
@@LeonardBrownArtbyLeonard i was diehard with the 8kx too, ive only recently swapped to a q3 due to my index controllers breaking. I do really miss having such a wide FOV, but I think now ir would feel way too fuzzy since im used to the higher ppi of the q3. The 12k will likely be the next pimax headset I purchase (if they are still around by the time they figure out how to make it lol)
@@metalmanexetreme Crystal Super (57 PPD, 120 degrees h.FOV) and Crystal Super with 50 PPD, 135 degree h.FOV lenses will easily, by far, be the best image quality & h.FOV combo in the VR headset market. Nothing else even comes close.
LOL even Quest 3 has larger horizontal fov than that.
Instead of the new headset I would like to see the accesorries which were promised for the Crystal: WideFoV lenses (for which I received a coupon 1.5+ years ago) and the wireless module.
I am sorry, but it sounds like Pimax has moved on to focus on these newer products.
The wireless module was in the video, it's shipping in April. The wide FOV lenses, no idea what is happening there.
@@HeadsetHistorianCorrection... You said about the wireless module "it's shipping in April". You should probably say "Pimax says it's shipping in April".
@@danceoffAshThe problem is that Pimax already collected our money - 2nd pair of lenses was promised in the Crystal preorder deal nearly 2 years ago. Would be convenient to "forget" this and focus on the new products...
The pimax dream air looks like a ready player one headset lol
I see most of your comments are frustrated people that are saying you don't focus on the headsets, and you jump to the next too quickly. I have owned the 8kx and the Pimax crystal. I had frustrations with both, but also loved both for certain reasons. Your headsets are far from perfect, but there is no perfect replacement. I currently have a preorder for the immersed visor. This looks like the gaming version of that. I think it looks amazing, but as people say, you might, and probably won't deliver fully on promises. Forget the Puck, just recommend something like a handheld windows based gaming device or a GPD device which are small yet powerful just to run a film etc and 2d gaming. Focus on delivering each headset you decide. Good to see companies pushing the boundaries, even if it just helps develop greater products in the coming generations with the current ones leading the curve and having some pioneering issues. Also, there are very few companies interested or able to start in VR, with the market share being with meta. I'm glad pimax are working on things, and I understand them not wanting to stand still. Interesting, and frustrating, but still interesting (from my perspective atleast and I know it will be different from alot of people but hey!) 👍
now I understand why I cant order Pimax Crystal Super with only Oled module
I came here for the comments. It didn’t disappoint.
I like the innovation. Wish it was ready sooner.
It looks great, other than the auto-adjustments, they're all points of failure or suboptimal setup.
Will wait until it ships and there are some independent reviews.
I WANT THIS
Wow that was the most abrupt ending to a big reveal I ever saw. :D
I was thinking the same thing, lol. Thats it, bye.
It reminded me of another presentation in the past. Was it apple?
this was the longest big reveal I ever saw
I have a super on order, I hope Pimax isn't spreading themselves too thin. That's great, "since we launched the Super" but you haven't launched it yet 😝A marketing release, which is usually "Pie in the Sky" is not a launch. I so want Pimax to succeed and hope for the best, but time will tell.
If this had Android XR OS at launch + full PCVR support this thing will truly be a market competitor
I would have cared if it wasn't in 7 months. Now you're letting all the other industry giants they have to compete in that price range. Within that time frame, there will probably be other headsets announced that will better satisfy people with lower costs and 120hz support.
I'm all for Pimax but I'm here for large FOV, high refresh rate, high quality pancake optics and near identical eye PPD resolution.
Despite being small, this headset does not satify me because it does not have extended fov. That's what pimax is known for.
You're also selling dreams with the 12K and there has been no news about it, why would I take time to look into anything that is not the 12K ? This new headset is simply a lightweight crystal with the crystal features.
You cannot have high PPD displays, with pancake optics and high FOV. You don't understand how basic VR technology and display optics works. FOV comes at the expense of clarity. You're essentially asking for a device to be a telescope and a microscope at the same time, or demanding a track race car with SUV storage.
Actually Meganex super light announcements first with the same price
Oh wow! I want this! ❤
Does Pimax not listening us. We don't need a new headset, just make crystal light problem free.
Honestly this, would buy one (again) if it would work, like all the HMDs of other companies actually do
I preordered the Super OLED with pancake lens a few months ago. I’ll probably opt out of that now and wait for this headset.
You should, because it is exactly the same panels and lenses.
Please STOP announcing a new headset every 6 months.
focus on the current headsets you have out.
Its like you release a headset, it has tons of problems And you just ignore it and everyone that has problems with it.
basically making us a beta tester, then you just come out with another 6 months later.
And any issues we have, we're stuck with them.
and you dont even focus on the other products you promised for years....
With some of the community already reporting poor after sales due to faulty headsets. Some including myself are nervous to purchase the crystal atm. Quality over quantity please.
Maybe you don’t hear from the ones without issues? My PCL works fine.
They've come a long way and I've been enjoying their headsets. 8KX, Crystal Sim and Light. Quality has been consistent so far without any issues. I am happy with my current headsets, but going to grab the dream air and so should you.
@@JasonIdkau-pw8hi False 'survivor bias'.
"It works for me, so you must be the issue"
Pimax are FUCKING INFAMOUS for their shit ass quality and terrible customer support.
I went through FOUR fucking 5k+'s trying to get a good one before forcing a return via Chargeback... after them telling me I was the problem, even though it was clearly their shit ass screens showing up DOA, and then trying to upsell me on an 8KX that they didn't know when the stock would be in, and it would have ended up costing me MORE money than just buying an 8KX outright...
@@JasonIdkau-pw8hi as someone who recently bought into pimax I saw the arguments about how terrible they used to be and heard the arguments of how much better their products are these days, however upon receiving my crystal light it stopped working on my pc after 1 day, for the one day I got to use it I could not get my eyes to focus at all. I couldn't fix whatever broke it so I had to send it back and never got a chance to figure out why the image was so faulty for my eyes
This is the best Headset prototype, this is the way of future
Pimax Dream Air, full Price including the Upfront + Monthly payments = $1990.97 (without taxes/VAT)
The question is do you have ventilation for the lenses so that they do not fog up? 😅
Naming a wired VR Headset as "Air"... Oh boy..
Light as air, not wireless.
I dont want to be overly negative, but I really don't think that this video did a good enough job comparing the Super to the Dream. Eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Super, and now this video just confuses me and makes me wonder if I made the wrong choice.
@Pimax, please make a detailed, head-to-head, spec-to-spec comparison of these headsets. Particularly with high-end PC gaming, what am I gaining from using the Crystal Super over the Dream Air? Because from what I can tell, the only thing you sacrifice with the Dream Air is modularity, which is an easy ommission given the lighter, smaller, and I'm assuming more comfortable form factor.
will you have blue light filter options on prescription lenses ? it is a must for me.
Please develop lighthouse tracking faceplate for the SUPER as soon as possible... we'll need it !
Is that mean I can control knobs and switches in a flight sim by hand, or is just to wave avatar in VR chat?
Announcing the 16K? Launching 2032.
But a bit of relaxation? They have already said that for the 12K it will take time since the results are not what they hoped for. It is now clear that they will focus on selling the Light and the Super, in addition to improving everything that revolves around these two visors. Maybe they will only want to announce new partnerships and accessories for their visors.
Nope! 😅 Another Pimax HMD got announced, something Pimax Air HMD tethered unless their COBB puck is purchased (for portable/travel) use.
@@paulct91 i see
For me comfort is important, I think I will cancel the super for the dream air
I would have bought it, but 102 FOV was the killer for me 😕
Pimax should have postponed this announcement. It's really tone deaf of them to dangle yet another headset in front of customers in hopes of distracting from the major issues plaguing their current line of headsets. Fix the quality control issues of the current headsets first and deliver on the promised features/addons before taking on yet another headset. Why would Pimax expect people to risk $1900 - $2000 on this thing when they're struggling to deliver your current headsets which are based on a design that's been out for over a year and a half? After hearing about the absurd amount of RMA's and returns Pimax should extend the warranty on their products if they want to be taken seriously. And it doesn't even look like they have a working prototype yet.
@@wittyname-sy5je they don't listen to their customers
I really like this form factor and the fact that it has dynamic Fov Rendering does put it above the other small form factor headsets by a LOT since you need that to run such a high resolution. My only real gripe is that it's not wireless. I get that the resolution is too high for wireless, but they should have an option to have wireless with less resolution. That would be a no brainer purchase for me. Just having such a high resolution panel would still make lower resolutions look amazing with wireless.
Who doesn't like it? But its vaporware until its real. They don't even have a prototype. Don't you see the 3D printed model she's holding. What other company in existence would do this? Its not even painted, lol. Anyone with a copy of blender and a 3D printer could deliver what we got from Pimax today.
Still no vr for the pimax portal right?

12k guys, you made a big mistake.
pimax is the only company making multiple headsets and they just keep coming.
Not making just talking lol
Preorders take years with Pimax. My preorder of the OG crystal took years, and they haven't released the Airlink I pre-ordered last year and don't even get me started on the wide lenses they promised...Really wish they'd deliver on their old promises before making new ones.
I am on my 4th generation of headsets from vive and pimax and I am very excited to be able to wear a headset that is so light and comfortable as this the dream appears to be. The one thing I dislike about my prior experience with high end headsets is that they "fry" your hair and it takes a couple of showers to go back to normal. This headset is designed either intentfully or serendipitously to achieve this result. I will be ordering it today.
Another very promising product. If pimax aren't dominating the vr space in 2 years, then they must have completely failed in the after care department again.
The price of this is insane for the specs!
This needs a hip pack with battery and wireless VR connectivity so this becomes a wireless PCVR headset.
Exactly what I was thinking
Maybe the Cobb puck they mentioned at the end will do just that.
Imo wireless PCVR is a good feature that would be really nice but standalone is skippable especially with such high res headsets.
@@lacedchemist1295 Nope. No VR wireless function in the puck. But considering they now have the Crystal's wireless pack, they could easily adapt that into the puck. They just don't wanna 😄
I'll definitely be saving up for the wireless module and the Dream Air so I can buy it when it's in store shelves! ❤
Pimax, I know you get a LOT of hate, but I would like to thank you for pushing the boundaries of VR regardless. The main thing that personally bothers me about this company is that you don't send review units to influencers (except for MRTV, who I don't trust). Send some to Thrillseeker, SadlyItsBradly, VR Oasis, Cas and Cherry XR, The Mysticle, or Cai VR.
I guess the VR community want's you to prove yourself before launching so many headsets. I personally think the more headsets the better, but people want these influencers to support you before they give you their money.
If Thrillseeker gave this a very positive review, your reputation would increase dramatically in this community.
Listen to the community, please. I want you to succeed so bad.
10:11 - "...Portability in mind..." but to use it when travelling it requires a portable computer (laptop) or the Pimax COBB (computation puck) to use ...right? As it itself is a tethered headset requiring a another device to feed data to it unlike an AIO HMD unlike Pimax's "VR 3.0" goals/standards as presented in Pimax Frontier 2021 (the "12K QLED" reveal).
Pimax in whatever thought that comes out they announce it. You guys are the masters of rendering ideas but not in execution.
this headset can do 72 hertz ?
This is absolutely Fantastic news!!!
A smaller unit is so welcome along with high specs and comfort.
Pimax Team your heading in the right direction.
💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯
With COBB - can we have WIRELESS PCVR? Like AIRLINK? or VD?
For COBB they don't even have a black, crude, 3D printed mockup...
Prescription lens support?
Come on guys. Why? You haven't released the Super yet. Focus on perfecting supporting one product. And why not announce it once it's ready and can be pre-ordered?
It's the same optical engine as the Super though
Can't wait for my two 5090s to feed the two 4K screens. Jokes aside. This thing seems to do it all.
Might as well go for 2 AMD gpu since ray tracing and DLSS are useless
102 FOV is wide FOV ? haha, i laugh as hell as this can make me a day.
PIMAX, you make us disappointed, keep failing our expectations, keep lying to us.
This is how PIMAX waste our(buyer) money, and wasting a good panel to such trash FOV,
PIMAX hire trash dev and tech people, rather buy apple vision pro more than buy this, if you dont make it REAL WIDE FOV
Though everyone's critical comments about Pimax trying to release too many products at once are totally on point, this is the headset they should have developed and announced to begin with. Small and light for the win.
You've spent the last five years releasing nothing but headsets with smaller FOVs than the Vision 8K X. Release the Reality 12K!
Good news, this one is smaller... oh... not sure about ita FOV though.
From Pimax website:
Nvidia's most powerful graphics card, Nvidia 4090, can drive display devices up to 8K at 60Hz with a single video interface. So that's enough for the Pimax 8K and Crystal or Crystal Light, but already, these headsets run close to the limits of the DP1.4 interface.
The bandwidth of Display 1.4 is 32.4Gbps, but the effective bandwidth - or throughput - is actually 25.9Gbps. When the Crystal Light or Crystal runs a refresh rate of 120 Hz and uses Display Stream Compression, the actual used bandwidth is very very close to this value. Then the last bit of bandwidth, we need for more things than just the image. Think about the SLAM tracking algorithm, hand tracking, MR image processing, image stitching, eye-tracking, and audio.
We can push the screen compression a bit more, it's visually lossless, but even with that, for the 12K we cannot achieve the required bandwidth. We tried a dual DP1.4 solution, with a dual bridge chip. But we're not satisfied with this solution and its outcome on the visual quality.
So we need to wait for a GPU with a DP 2.1 interface, which Nvidia right now does not have. AMD does have one, but there is currently no suitable bridge chip to support it.
exactly! It seems like there is no upgrade to the 8Kx if you like a large FOV
Thanks to this Pimax Prime stuff I have no clue what the actual price is. With currency conversion there are three different prices, I have to assume the main big number price shown is actually fake because it seems low and the actual amount I'm paying is more and includes some kind of subscription, and I'm not sure what the total in my currency is. And then add shipping? Duty? Thanks for confusing me.
Pimax Prime is absolute garbage that should just go away. Has zilch to do with a "subscription", despite them calling it that.
Until they fire their management it will remain a crap company.
Yo, yall just introduced quad views into pinax play but I still have to use quad views and pimaxXR still because we can’t control it..
Does the Super have the hand tracking or only the Dream?
