- Hello and welcome to VIRTUALLY ODD! IT'S BACK! Today I have the XTAL 8k to show you all. I worked really hard on this one. We'll be going over the most expensive VR headset on the market that any consumer can buy, it's features, my thoughts on it, and some more explanation as to WHY it's so expensive. Once agian, I hope you enjoy.
Thank you to VRGineers for sending out this XTAL for my to test out. No I didn't buy this, no I don't get to keep it lol.
Edit: SOO! VRgineers (creators of XTAL) have offered a code to the community for 10% OFF of an XTAL if you want to buy one and I also get a few dollars back as well. If you want to buy an XTAL, here’s your link and code to use! Much love.

What’re you looking at getting? Got a 2017 sv650 for my first bike a few years ago. Absolutely love it, and I highly, highly recommend it whether you get a older one or new one.
If you’re in the USA, look up the MSF BRC and try and take it. It helped me learn a lot, gave me confidence, it’s free in my state, and it substitutes your motorcycle license test. If you pass the class, you get your license. Good luck, be safe, have fun, and keep two down ✌🏻👇🏻

Honestly, this is the best review od the XTal I've seen. Way more informative than any other RUclipsr that has reviewed it
Wore their previous model it at siggraph 2019. It pinched my nose with the servos and I noted how freaking heavy it is.
So it’s a shitty vr headset

Its also not built for standard vr

Im the real itachi😠
Great video, Thrill! The context about costs of training pilots was really interesting. Really aided in understanding this headset and the benefits of VR as a whole.
What's funny about having an $8,000 dollar headset is that forty years ago the Power Glove was a $10,000 prototype.

I just one to say thank you. I got a ps vr a few years back and recently got a quest 2. If it was not for you I would have never popped my VR cherry lol keep up the amazing content that keeps us all up to date in the vr world.
The XTAL does make for a perfect VO video. Especially since Thrill never ceases to post quality uploads
Maybe the 8k in the name is actually talking about the price
i can't wait until tech like this becomes obtainable to the average person like me.
Hopefully at a form factor ideal for actual gaming lol
it’ll be here in between 5 months & 3 years
@@cannedolives maybe so at the rate that the vr industry is growing currently. i haven't heard the whole "vr is just a gimmick and a waste of money" comment in a while so that's a good sign.
@@BlueSparxLPs yeah of course! just the features of it like super wide fov, face tracking, high res, automatic ipd, and whatever else is on that headset but a lot lighter and smaller making it more ideal for gaming.

"Bravo 6, going dark."
Omg this video is so good, the formating and writing made a 13 minute video feel like 20 seconds
If it’s relevant. The German RUclipsr and streamer “Angeschrien” performed a live event today by synchronizing a parkour with a VR headset. I think it is an interessing idea. The event is called "Next Level" (Should not be advertising xD)
I agree there's real value in there but you know they're up marking that price by over 50% because the government's willing to pay more
Yep!
This is why I am going to try and find a job in a company that supplies for the US Government. because when they Governent spends more on my products, the company pays more on paychecks.
Probably twice as much, at the least.
Having dealt/seen at least part of DOD contracting, they're marking it up at least in part because dealing with government contracting/procurement is a huge pain. Depending on how much the Feds want, we're talking an entirely different set of accounting practices used for a second set of books levels of craziness. That's not cheap. Then you get to the endless meetings and PDFs. If you aren't marking a product up at least 50% and selling to the federal government then it's not worth it just from a frustration point of view.
Still cheaper then what some companies upcharge consumers (looking at you medical industry)
can we talk about how you have two quests 2's lol
The one facebook gave him to review and his personal one
One for weekdays, one for Sunday best.
Hey i just wanted to tell you that i love everything you have done, your youtube is awesome and your discord is the best. your discord has helped me thruh a rly bad part of my life lately and i can never thank you and your discord enugh. i met you at the meetup 2 days ago and just the oppertunity to talk to you alone was amazing so thanks for everything you have done
ThrillSeeker I have to say this
Your content is diamond 💎
9:17 “Respawning in VR is easier than in real life”
It's super awesome that these are being used in military flight simulators! The tech in this thing is still nothing compared to the $400k hmd the F-35 pilots get in their helmets, but that this is available to the general public to buy is awesome!
Thanks for this video! It gives us mil folks a perspective from the consumer side that we don't see.
Dwasaka du cambia anan?
4:13 gotta respect you for boneworks
Damn dude your channel really popped off. I'm proud of you bro.
Lowkey envy the starry nail polish. So cool!
Not even lowkey, I just want it
Ayy I’m early, have yet to watch but the title sounds really exciting!!! Love the new intro too!
Seymour Johnson, Harry Willie, Anita Head, Richard Pound, Dixie Rect, together we are, the VRgineers.
Coming from a guy that plays DCS (digital combat simulator - a realistic military aviation sim) religiously,
this headset would be a breath of fresh air when it comes to Identifying small objects at 20 miles, and reading small text on cockpit MFDs (screens), instrument panels, radar screens, and weapons employment pages.
However as much as you would think it that you wouldnt have to whip your head around, sometimes we do move our heads quite quickly to see whats coming to kill us, and seeing how heavy that headset is, I would probably break my neck, or I would break it by flinging it off my head.
Honestly in headsets I look for comfort and performance with, not the best, but respectable resolution, refresh, and FOV.
Headsets can be incredibly painful when you fly for hours on end in a mission, so comfort is more important than you'd think.
I totally get that. It seems most of the time these headsets are attached to helmets which I can imagine makes them a little more sturdy and comfortable over long periods using them as well as a little less unwieldy
Now I know how my dog feels when am eating..
i just went on a spree watching all of your videos from the past year, now i gotta watch this one ig.
But that's like, hours and hours
@@arthursurname yep, i started yesterday
@@PodHighlights1 sure.. seems.. plausible
I'd definitely use a headset like this for sim racing if I had that kind of money to drop lol
glad to see that people get to enjoy vr like this, I've always wanted a headset and people get shit like this 😭
Well, I do have $8,000. I'm currently building a BEAST of a gaming computer first. 5950x cpu, 3090 gpu, 128gb 4000mhz RAM, 4Tb of m.2 (gen 4), etc. etc. I also want a VR headset. I'll probably buy one of these later this year too (assuming they're in stock).
Taking a second look at it, it dawned on me that the flight helmet has audio built in, that is supposed to somehow be integrated into the design and I would imagine being more stable on your head during the ruff stuff. I could definitely see potential.
I wonder if XTAL would ever consider making some lower end models for standard consumers
With the audio, I would buy IEM'S. Then you got superb sound quality with no problem
Alternatively, a good simulator cockpit can take advantage of a full surround sound speaker setup, thus not needing headphones at all.
@@neurokinetik64ES Ah yes absolutely, but that comes with problems in it's own. Way more expensive and hard to set up in a way that volumes aren't overdoing it. IEM's will be the cheapest and easiest way to go but, if you're building a full out cockpit simulator , expensive speakers is a very good way as well
Would love to hear your review of this in Elite Dangerous.
Showing some love. Keep the great content coming.
6:46 Looks like perfect for flying the DCS: F/A-18C since that's a Hornet cockpit there... then add the TM Hornet grip for $169 (nice), a throttle unit for somewhere around 200 - 300 gold, MFG Crosswind pedals for around 300 money and a Brunner CLS-E base for that stick grip (since they literally mention Brunner in the video) that's somewhere around 1300 bucks, yeah. Oh, and why not get some TM Cougar MFDs while you're at it, just around 80 for a 2 pack. Well, I do lack that Brunner base, have the MFDs ordered just today and the TMWH stick is the classic A-10/F-16 one lying around in a cupboard because it has no haptics (FFB), so I'm still using an 18 year old Microsoft Sidewinder FFB2. And I'm glad to see relatively stabe 45fps with ASW in a CV1, though just having an overclocked 3570k and a 1080. But I've seen others with a 3090 and a modern CPU not get past that with better headsets :D - but it's an absolutely great experience anyway.
6:59 What? You don't do that? Laughs in loading up my UH-1H on a mall's parking lot :D
7:35 Pretty much looks like DCS... or TBS for that matter, basically the Pro version of DCS for mil customers - initially the A-10C module was made because of a DoD contract and Combined Arms is also an offspring of a military product
9:09 Definately DCS/TBS. The sun doesn't look like that anywhere outside that sim with Lens Flares off.
9:20 They even left the full labels on :D
I want this for Assetto Corsa w/ the Shutoko mod lol
Fire intro 🔥
your fingernails rock btw!
Keep up the great video's! x3
Wear this headset with a Abyss Diana Ultimate (AB1266 PHI TC) that would fit over this behemoth of a headset.
You do a great job on your videos!
Dude, that hits harder than my (relative that is associated with a humorous abuse joke)
The argument about how it could save the DOD millions has a small flaw. You see when pilots enter the training program they have to obtain a certain amount of time in the air with an actual plane. And VR simulators are just not as realistic as the actual thing. Loved the video, keep it up.
Thanks for pointing that out. My dad is actually a former F16 and B1 pilot, I grew up loving planes and the Air Force. Aware of this, and I tried to balance being thorough with the narrative. Hopefully I didn’t go too far one way or the other.
Clicked on this so fast
Imagine playing DCS World or VTOL VR with this thing and a full cockpit... amazing
Headset looks like someone from 2021 time travelled to 1990s and made a vr
Be sure to wear your mask while in VR gents lol. I heard its going around in population one.
He's wearing it in order to not reveal his face
He's worried about giving us a computer virus.
the "even a quadro" comment is misleading because quadro cards are actually slower than their GeForce counterparts when it comes to gaming
Cool video man have a great day man.
i dont know how long you have had it but i love the new intro.
Bro it's so cringe to see you playing vr in your house! With nobody around! Wearing a mask. It's absolutely mind blowing
Bro don't you know he's trying protect us viewers from the virus plague, based!
I.. don’t face reveal. I’ve worn a mask since way before covid on my channel

the mask and fingernails are super distracting. not a fan. not hating. just giving feed back. other than that very good information
My guy you’re just homophobic. They’re not you just don’t like feminine stuff.
Nice video and so informative! That headset is so huge! I was wondering what is the outro song?
I found it thanks to Siri! Calling me by ooyy for those who want to know…
This dude is having so much fun in vr while i've been waiting for a month for my new oculus rift s cable to deliver because some part of my oculus got screwed.
you know what thrillseeker... I just subscribed bro
I worked with aerospace simulators, was a dev for it if you will. I left once their VR program was garbage and now PhD in VR. The market for this is untapped and this is the first headset that ive seen that will fill the gap in market as its MoD driven.. theyll eat it up
just wait till we have full body vr exo suits or treadmills and we can train to do anything from our houses for an affordable price (mostly affordable) we could train to be elite military soldiers for fun in our spare time... think about that. endless possibilities. taking mil sims to a new level.
I mean you can train most things you can think of, ESPECIALLY becomming an elite military unit, pretty much cheaper irl.
Why do I love the Virtually Odd intro?
157$ good MRE food for soldiers
Military: ❌
8000$ vr to make soldiers have motions sickness
Military: ✅✅✅✅
Love my XTAL 8K. We use it for simulator development. This is for seated driving, fighter pilot training, not for beat saber. Varjo didn't have audio either.
Your intro reminds me a lot of the song "friend shitai". At around 8 seconds into the song where they sing "watashi tachi wa koko ni imasu" the melody and timing is exactly the same for the "watashi tachi wa koko ni" part
I have both the StarVR One and the Pimax 8k. The StarVR one has the widest current FOV of any headset in the industry including the professional
So a little while ago the army came out to my high school to show off what they do in virtual reality.
I was so excited since you know that the military has billions to spend, I was sorely disappointed by what I saw.
They promised us virtual humve simulators with parachute simulator, a under pressure thinking sim.
What we got was a arcade racing “sim” a extremely low res and tiny FOV vr with an interactive chute, and for the under pressure thinking sim was literally just sending waves of air drones game on a HTC vive headset. And what disappointed me the most was that they said it was state of the art VR/AR tech, like my quest 2 runs better then the “$8000 vr” that they had. If they brought out this I would’ve been so much more excited.
im waiting til technology makes “work at home” real like you can be a cook and still interact with the items in your house
I love the aesthetics of this headset so much!
