What are your thoughts about the MeganeX Superlight? Do you want it? Demand the headset for your country on their Discord server: discord.gg/Z9Tp7tUzmb
Velcro fastener on the strap for such a light headset would be easy and sufficient.
Has to have inside out tracking. Everything else is fine.
Seconded, mandatory lighthouse tracking in 2024 is a dealbreaker, even Varjo has moved on from mandatory lighthouse tracking.
Under $1700??? Lets say $1600 plus valve tracking kit for another $600. Ouch!!!!!
Agreed. First person to get a device of this spec/size with inside out tracking will be onto a major winner. Also liking the generic facial interface and IPD adjustment.@@Leonardo0leandro0
I’ll say it. Sounds like this is better than Big Screen Beyond. I’m waiting on my BSB to be returned with some IPD adjustments right now. Custom IPD would have prevented that from being necessary. This device looks very small as well, count me as excited to see where this goes. MicroOLED is amazing and absolutely where VR needs to go.
so far BSB disappointment for me waiting on 2nd ipd adjustment its taking very long time and wont solve the horrible glare.
@@Eskoxo bruh, why were all the reviewers hyping it up like that? I also ordered mine. But like now Im not sure anymore.
I have mine, only problem was gasket too thin by one mm so they are sending a new. But glare for me is ok, once you are playing you forget about it. Colors and clarity are amazing. Wish bigscreen went this route being slighly bigger and no customization needed. However bsb works right away no thinkering needed. Very happy with it.
maybe, I mean you are gonna be paying $400 more for this one so I'd hope it has better displays. That said, the problem posed in this video was comfort, which even when improved probably wont reach the height of comfort that the BSB has when calibrated correctly.
I love my Beyond despite it's flaws. Whenever I just play actual VR games I've been having incredible moments that I haven't experienced since the OG Vive.
Would I love better edge to edge clarity and less glare? Of course! But I'm loving the Beyond because it's here right now. From these guys track record with VR headsets, this could be years away.
More proof that micro OLED headsets are the future ⚡️
I knew it from when I had Quest 1. LCD is no good for VR.
Who questioned that in the first place?
The problem so far has simply been the lenses or the brightness of the panels.
But with coming 10000 nits MicroOLED it could be solved.
TK shared his knowledge in a very professional manner. It was nice to see the MRTV guys expressing surprise and delight at a new headset. 200 Grams & all that technology!
why on earth they decided on motorized ipd when they dont even have eye tracking i dont know. putting a motor etc in there increasing the weight when we could have just turned a dial or slider like other headsets. i suppose this way it could be more precise. but not worth the extra weight/ cost i dont think.
Yes, very comprehensive
But he always forgets the exact headset resolution. 😅
@davidzx692 Yeah exactly, why did they get this guy to try and sell the product. They should have had someone that had some charisma AND INFORMATION!
This is super interesting, if they get a price a bit below the bigscreen beyond then I think it will be a huge success, although their original headset was like 1800 if I recall correctly. Really innovative company, I love to see them sticking with it.
Really though, over 100 FOV, tiny size, good edge to edge, 120hz.... this is amazing. This is better than the beyond it seems. I know the custom facial interface and smaller size of the beyond is better, but I think I would go for the benefits of this. It really just comes down to price now. If they manage to make it like 999 (highly unlikely unfortunately) then it's an instant buy for me.
@@AlejandroLopez-wy2st Actually they said under 1700
BSB doesn't include lighthouse tracking, while this does internally. Tracking quality and user setup depending, the price gap isn't as big as it seems
@@highpraise-highcritic BSB does have Lighthouse tracking, but I'd rather pay a bit more and have a more versatile solution, plus the bigger screen makes the lenses less critical it seems, so for me, this is super interesting. Bigger FOV, less artifacts from lenses, possible to adjust for multiple people, and hopefully lots of options for headstrap and facial interface. The Quest 3 headstrap compatibility suggestion is very good....
there's no way they can price lower than beyond. the margin on the beyond is super tight and most of the cost is the displays. The superlight adds diopter, and motorized ipd. both of which are quite the expense.
... and japanese tech stuff is always a good bet
This looks amazing and exactly what I would want for my next VR headset coming from a Valve Index.
Very impressive tech! MRTV never gives up on the quest to push VR forward!
It's our passion!
I totally want this device. Bring it to Europe for us to buy.
Yes, it definately needs to be available in Europe. What I like in comparison to the Beyond, is that it can be used by many people with it´s universal face gasket. The Beyond is made to fit for one person only which may make it more comfortable, but here you can also show it to your friends when they come over. That´s much better in my opinion. Also, it makes ordering one easier - no face scanning needed. Also the IPD needs no motor - a slider will do. A motor only adds expense to the headset...
Nice work Sebastian, glad you made it there! Panasonic does know what they are doing, even if they don't have American marketing talent
Looks very promising!!! I would definitively buy one!
Headsets like the Pimax Crystal, Varjo XR4, Somnium VR-1 are all too bulky/heavy.
I won't buy any VR headset that is larger than a PICO4/Quest3.
A price around 1.5k $ seams very fair!
I don't often see Sebastian this excited and impressed so quickly after trying a headset. This video got me really excited to eventually try one. Hopefully they ship to the U.S.
Awesome demo on the spot Sebastian. Glad you're there man
Shiftall, Congrats on achieving this headset. I'm hoping to see it in Europe!
I can't wait for this to launch. I liked the BSB philosophy but the no IPD adjustment+poor lenses were a deal breaker. This seems like a great step towards my ideal headset
I like the design of the prototype better then the intended actual final design. If they manage to get this product to eu and its reasonable affordable i might just want one :D
More micro OLEDs please!
Wow did not expect these reactions. MicroOLED impresses.
this looks perfect. I really liked the idea of the BSB, but many of my friends also enjoy VR when they are around, and BSB would limit use to one person. Even better that this will be cheaper than the standard MeganeX.
Yeah the no IPD and no lenses are real issues
They need to change that name Shiftall honestly everyone thinks the same thing when they see it 😅
🤣🤣🤣 bro every time my eyes just can't accept it
Great coverage of the show seb. Can't wait to hear what your highlights and lowlights were.
It's definitely exciting to see that small form factor but with a focus on adjustability with normal face gasket, IPD, and even diopter adjustments.
It's just too bad it completely lacks audio.
I also wonder what the FOV could be. Above 100 degrees doesn't sound very large, but we'll see. I'd certainly get it as close to my eyes as possible.
I would really be interested in this if there was a Valve quality off-ear audio head strap available for it.
One note others have made is the needless motorization of the IPD adjustment. I do agree that I would rather have the standard manual adjustment.
If released in United States, then it is a must buy! I absolutely love the the diopter and IPD adjustments.
Finally! This will be my next Steam VR HMD since Vive Pro 2!
Bring it into Australia as well please. Been waiting for the next big thing and I think this might be it. Thanks so much for sharing.
I live the fact that Sebastian is always so straight forward and doesn’t sugar coat anything for years .thats why I trust his opinion
I actually like the design better on the prototype in this video more then the renders they are showing for what it will look like to be honest.
they showcase the headset with VRchat, that means they want people who play that game to use it. If that's the case I think they should put eye tracking on it. Also an adapter for wireless
Very exciting product. Hopefully they can actually deliver something and make it available outside of Japan.
Ah CES 2024, wish I could have gone. Thanks for sharing content with us!
I would like them to make a headset like the bigscreen beyond, but with IPD adjustment and inside-out tracking, it would be an excellent compact product.
i like to see the MeganeX SuperLight in europe as well,and please make the facial interface to move in and out(so we can get closer to the lenses as with the valve index)
Wow looks amazing thanks for covering this, there dosent seem to be much on this device on RUclips yet but after seeing this and a few other short clips im definitely waiting before buying the beyond as i planned to. I hope it can release globally
this is like a polished big screen beyond i mean it beats it in almost all fields expect the weight
I like the sound of this one for sure. Gets rid of the main drawbacks of the BSB while having the same strengths.
It looks great.
A very exciting VR headset!
But is it natively compatible with STEAM???
You’ve done it again Sebastian, another great live review. Cheers to all 3 of you guys, great informative video. It was like I was right there. 👍🏽
Looks awesome! Especially because of the size of this thing!
Love the reaction from you both!
Looks promising! Making it compatible with Quest 3 equipment (if legally possible) would be great indeed! If not please consider something like the BoboVR strap that can be used without the face gasket (perhaps even with a flip-up mechanism) - this was kind of a revelation to me comfort wise.
Yeah, I use the Quest 3 for VR Development, and not having the gasket on, it almost becomes a flip up solution, so very easy to switch back and forth.
The prototype design looks better than the final render, which looks bigger because it lacks the beveled edges of the prototype. Those bevels look cool and literally cuts down the size. Needs a top strap for sure. Awesome headset!
Great stuff, I want it! Bring to us in Europe TK!!! 🤗❤
I want this device, please bring it to Europe. I am looking for a micro oled headset and currently only the bs beyond is on the market. But it has too much glare. This megane x light seems to be the perfect choice
Looks fantastic compared to the Beyond, I've been quite disappointed with mine due to the noticeably lower FOV coming from the Index, as well as its issues with glare and small sweet spot. Seeing that this hmd is "should" come out in 2024 and doesn't share the same downsides as the Beyond really makes me want to return it, but then I'd have to eat a $200 restocking fee.
why is it that all a sudden people don't like the Beyond anymore? I feel like just a week ago everyone was loving it.
Im so confused. Should I cancel my order??
My bsb is fine, I have great sweetspot but also went smaller than recommended ipd. Also compared to my other headsets. Make sure to ask for thin gasket. Once very close to the screen glare for me is only at the bottom.
I would only cancel if this was for sure coming out globally and out soon.
@@RabbitConfirmed im very dissapointed on Beyond. I take Index glare over Beyond. Beyond glare is very define and strong but Index glare is faded kind of glare. Don't try to move your eyes with Beyond because sweet spot so damm small and its even worse than psvr 2 sweet spot
@@-racingfan2014 i tested it out without face foam but glare is everywhere. I see glare on every scene and not just dark scene. Not sure if theres bunch of dust on the panel or something
A BSB with better edge to edge clarity and adjustable IPD sounds almost... almost! like my ideal headset. And with adjustable diopter on top of that! I'm just not sure about getting a 2.5K per eye headset on the year when 4K per eye uOLED headsets are being announced and released...
I guess it depends whether you want to spend 1500 or 3000 on a headset.
@@CyionVR Maybe, but the Visor managed to use them at under $1K
@@juancarlosgonzalez8950 to me Beyond resolution is amazingly sharp enough. Glare and sweet spot ruined for me
Looks good, just needs a good audio strap like the Index
please just make it have a comfortable face plate and headstrap, it's looking great so far, I love the fact this it has edge to edge clarity and is OLED AND HDR, I just really hope your mic choice will be good and that you give good audio to it(if you give it audio). So far great job! May consider this headset once I get the money
I want it in Australia, really excited to see a competitive in the market.
Loving the fresh videos, with interviews!
They really need to consider adding inside out tracking on that.
you could, since it's natively steamvr, do something like bolt a vive gen3 elite tracker to it to get that kind of thing, since it's camera tracked.
Yup, this.
It already exists, it's called the MeganeX
Oh lighthouse tracking.. well it seemed interesting for about 7 seconds :)
Honestly looks incridible. Ya I've been perplexed for a while about the headsets currently on the market. This one comes the closest to what I would personally make minus the inside out tracking. I would also gave the option of not having a cable but understand cable should be there.
Nice sounds good
Looks good . Good form factor.
I'm a big fan of Shiftall. I think TK has a very innovative mindset.
Diopter adjustments!! Want. Hate messing around with lens inserts, this is what I've been waiting for.
Basically, Bigscreen without the set face shape and motorized IPD adjustment. That's a pretty nice option for PCVR users if the price is competitive enough.
This could be a great replacement for my WMR based HP G2 since I already have the index controllers and lighthouses. Very much looking forward to micro OLED quality blacks!
Wow, that sounds really awesome! Looking forward to learning more and hoping that they will release it outside of Japan
I agree with you. Most interesting headset of CES! Always curious about lenses, but at least those even sound promising! I use my Quest 3 for wireless now, so this would be a good option for wired.
I would love to see this headset as a standalone version with the latest qualcomm chip and wireless WiFi 7 streaming to PC with Steam link. I think it should not be extremely difficult to make it as they have lenses with displays and Qualcomm has reference design ready.
As a passionate Quest user who has tried other headsets such as Oculus Rift, PS VR and Valve index, inside out tracking is an absolutely mandatory thing for me. The meganex Superlight seams to be really nice except of that need for steam vr base stations. I guess a lot of guys missed that detail in the video. In my humble opinion, base stations are the exact opposite to seamless, effortless jumping into VR. If I have to choose between weraring 500g on my face and wireless connect to a PC OR wearing only 200g and have to install base stations and connect to a cable I'll definitely go for 500g. Anyhow different people have different needs. Thanks for the nice video.
I completely agree with you. There is no way I'm spending money in 2024 on a device that needs base stations. I'm now holding out for Meta to launch Quest Pro 2. All these super light VR with cables and base stations just wont work for me. I hear Vision Pro is super heavy, yet people are going to buy it for that ridiculous price. This points to the fact that weight is not the deciding factor in this market right now
@@abolajiidowu8284with that new chip, QP2 seams likely. I just grabbed the Q3 during the holidays, so it will be a little upsetting, but only if the difference is worth the upgrade.
@@RUclips_This I also just grabbed the Quest 3 during Christmas and I can say I am impressed. There are a few things that I think they should have done better such as the quality of the pass through. I think Vision Pro pass through will be insane so let’s hope QP2 will have to come to compete in that space.
@@abolajiidowu8284 oh most definitely, i agree. I can't wait to see what's coming.
Very interested. Hopefully they will be avalable soon.
I liked this video very much. Ok, I'm convinced again... looks like I have to start putting some money aside. Just bought the Quest3, of which I thought, how much better can it be... but micro oled, 200 grams, .... in such a small package...
Amazing.
Only problem is it will likely be late 2024 and my BSB is on order about to go into production lol.
yea, same
@@RabbitConfirmed One thing we're casually overlooking though, is comfort.
This definitely hasn't passed the comfort test just yet, quite the opposite, and one of the biggest selling points for BSB is that it's by far the most comfortable headset on the market. And that's incredibly important.
If they can sort the fit/comfort out though, then yeah, I'd want this...
I'll enjoy the BSB for now and we'll see where things are with this headset and possibly others by the end of the year.
@@zackmac5917 what headset did you have before? and would you still recommend bsb?
@@RabbitConfirmed I don't have my BSB yet, it's still on order but should be here within about a month or so.
Atm I have a Samsung Odyssey+. Probably the best OLED headset available before these micro-oled headsets have started coming out.
I can't personally recommend the BSB since I haven't tried it yet, and there are other headsets like this one coming out later this year that could very well be a much better option, like this one.
Until these other headsets launch late 2024, no doubt BSB is the best we have right now.
He's wearing a Panasonic shirt. Is this a Panasonic owned company? If so that is really cool.
Wow, it is! I have no doubt this will be topnotch now.
I would buy this instantly if it came out in Europe.
Ebay is only way to get it
@@ji3200 Package forwarder
I like the looks of the prototype WAY BETTER than the final production model.
I thought I heard that the display port had been removed? Not sure if I heard that correctly. Too bad as I would use it for PCVR and display port is pretty nice.
Pass through? I'll watch video again as I may have missed that info.
Like the size for sure.
Looks the business, without the fitment requirements of the Big screen. Very interested if they are able to get approval for other countries.
so its an Arpara?
Looks good. Would be great if the control box could just be moved to wherever on the trap you like... back of head, top of head, side of head. They could also make the clip rotate 90 degrees so the cable could point downwards if you wanted it on the back of the head.
Bin sehr gespannt ob die Brille auf den Europäischen markt schafft
I want it!
Though, even if they say it's under 1700, that's still quite a steep price. Not to mention that it's probably going to cost more in Europe... Where I live.
This is that really cool CEO. He is so fun. This is the headset we need
In this video, the speaker interviews TK, the CEO of Sharp, about the new MEGANEX Super Light headset. The headset is designed to be lightweight, with a weight of only 200 grams. It features a 5.2K HDR OLED micro panel, with a resolution of 2560x2560. The headset also has diopter adjustment and motorized IPD adjustment. The panel is made of plastic instead of glass, and the headset has built-in Lighthouse tracking. The headset is expected to be priced under $1700. The speaker also mentions that the headset is still a prototype and there may be changes in the final design.
i want it! i will buy it
Great coverage of CES. The superlight looks very interesting but I want minimal lag in VR. Is that a display port cable or just for power and audio?
I just ordered my BSB.... *sigh*..... Seeing how this is probably years away, I will keep on supporting BSB and keep my order intact. After all, they made the dive for making VR go in this direction.
Future headsets should look like this one for sure. This probably has a better FOV than that huge ass pimax crystal and it's OLED. I just hope these drop down eventually to economical prices
TK nearly getting stabbed in the throat by the microphone at 5:05, was wincing as I watched 🤣
Nice headset too! 🙂
Wow, cancelled BSB cause I wanted better lenses. I hope I can purchase this in Australia
He listened to everything I was concerned about right now. thank you!
we want one in europe,and me too.. lol
The pimax crystal's form factor became obsolete when it launched. Big Screen and now MeganeX as players for small form factors. There will be more following for sure. Ship global. The US customers will go after this for sure
I love your videos from CES!
Great! More to come!
that blue guy behind them really knows how to move well
Wow !
2:50 how can you forget the resolution of the product you are demoing/ selling/ advertising. this looks cool, but until things like this are available for half that price and with built in inside out tracking and included controllers, its not for me. maybe in 5 years, lol.
Add automatic nose adjustment - you can call it Pinocchio system.
No eye tracking no buy. DFR is the future, it's much more fps friendly. But it looks like a great product
@@adrenalinejunkie3828 thnks for the info, hopefully in the future we can have the best of both worlds.
I think we need this device in €urope.
The current design looks better than the final. It looks like a Vive mini.
This headset but with a headstrap similar to the original Vive deluxe audio strap, or the Bigscreen beyond additional audio strap.
Then all it would need to do is have wireless such as WiGig and this would not only be my next headset... it would replace all the headsets that I currently have.
These would make it something I could recommend to friends and colleagues (that are currently in the SteamVR ecosystem.)
The WiGig seems a bit like a pipe-dream (although it shouldn't be, as I already have it on a headset) but this headset with the 'deluxe audio strap' and I would definitely buy it when it becomes available in the US.
I'd like one.
Add the control box to the cable like DPVR E4 with the clip so it feels weightless
I am a maniac of image quality/clarity, but in the end the immersion with 1kg on your face in terrible even with a good image. We need to put the headset and forget it with the time not being reminded by the tireness while the time passing... SO BRAVO PICO 4 and good try bigscreen beyond, AND BRAVISSIMO Meganex !
But we have to play wireless and without base station !
What we earn in weight and quality, we lose in cables and accessories...
There's already a version without base station, it's called the MeganeX, although it's only sold on their Japanese website.
Hello TK, I need this Device in the EU - thanks! 😅
tell them to do a kickstarter maybe... use the money to bring the device around the world.
bigscreen beyone was the first to make a sleek lightweight headset that reminded me of how compact they look in sci fi media like Cyberpunk and Ready Player One, and idk if this one is better or as light but I think looks-wise it pretty much goes all the way into the sci-fi cyberpunk territory. that is, assuming they improve that nose thing so the display faces more forwar and isnt leaning down like in the video.
