Pimax created this simplified version of their standalone offering by removing some of the extras, like onboard battery, eye tracking, etc. to make it more affordable for those who intend to use it seated at their computer desk for flight simulators and racing games. Their advertisement and product description clearly reflects on that and surely, they are spot on, everything about this headset as advertised. The Crystal Light retained the original Crystal's super high resolution and high-quality display. It is somewhat disappointing that they are charging extra for the software, but once installed and the VR headset initialize, it is ready to go! The game controllers aren't really needed for flight sim, but they are very easy to set up and can be useful time to time, while can be turned off at any time. During the initial setup, it is recommended to charge them right away before the setup is completed, in case one chooses to use them right away. For seated applications like flight simming, I recommend disabling the safety boundary by unselecting the "Activating Chaperone" feature in the Device Settings/Advanced. With that feature selected, the headset will keep turning on the see trough screen and safety boundary lost error every time the headset is removed and placed on the desk. Very annoying, because one cannot select another flight and continue with the gaming session without exiting the game and recalibrate the room setting. That's something to beware of. Otherwise, the software is fantastic, very simple and easy to use, and includes their own version of built in Open XR. I must say it does worth the extra, if they keep on maintaining it. The performance enhancing features work great, fixed foveated rendering greatly reduces processing load, and the lack of eye tracking probably won't affect most of the users, while also eliminates some extra burden of processing. I expected a serious performance hit coming from the HP Reverb G2, but to my surprise, it was the other way around, I noticed a slight increase in the frame rate, while sharpness and clarity blew me away. I surely did not expect that level of upgrade in performance, The Reverb G2 is known for its incredible image. The mild screen door effect of the G2 completely disappeared From the Crystal light, colors and brightness are eye candy. I tried the "smart smoothing" feature enabled from Device Setting/Games, also works as expected, but I did not gain enough boost to keep the feature enabled. For fast aircrafts Like the Daher TBM930, Pilatus PC-21 trainer, fighter jects or choppers it worth enabling smart smoothing over busy terrain at very low attitudes, but for normal flights, for maximum clarity and sharpness, better leave it off. As far as comfort, this unit is a mixed bag. It is incredibly big, almost intimidating, and covers one's entire face! Because it covers my nose as well, it tends to fog up very easily, and I have to remove the headset several times to clear it out, until it warms up enough to eliminate fogging. It takes lots of attempt of adjustment to make it the most comfortable, and once that's done, it can be worn for hours without much of any discomfort. The 120 Hz refresh rate is a Godsent. It took me a year to be able to use the Reverb when I started, I was hit with motion sickness so powerful that I felt sick even the next day. The high refresh rate of the Crystal Light helps to completely eliminate any residues that I still suffered occasionally time to time, when simulated real time weather conditions and some turbulence effects. While not a perfect product, the team's attempt and effort to fill the void Micro$oft left in the wake of deprecating its own VR portal, is greatly appreciated. Hopefully they will be successful and are here to stay. I cannot recommend this headset strongly enough for other potential armchair pilots, who are looking for superhigh resolution crystal clear VR solution to upgrade their existing deprecated ones or just getting ready to immerse into the VR flight realm for the first time, without mortgaging their homes for a Somnium VR1 or other super expen$ive units out there. The seamlessly working standalone software independent from Steam VR (though it is supported and featured if one chooses to install it) and any other standard platforms, plus the solid performance of the VR headset with incredibly stable tracking is difficult, if not impossible to beat at this price point! Kudos to the team at Pimax for their work and dedication!

I bought the Pimax headset and it worked for about one week. My mistake was throwing away the box to save space. When I returned the headset, Amazon did not want to give me a full refund, which is unfair because the headset is in perfect condition, almost like new, but it stopped working and would no longer turn on. I contacted IT support and they said the issue might be with the sensor. Overall, I cannot recommend this product. In the end, I purchased the Quest 3 — maybe the quality is lower, but at least you have the security of being able to return it without the risk of losing your money if it turns out defective.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Crystal light dope. Fov: Fov not too bad coming from 8kx. Doesn't give the annoying binocular feeling my quest 2 did. It's actually only noticeable when loading into games imo. Once the game starts and your eyes have something to focus on, your brain tunes out the black walls in peripheral from smaller fov imo and I barely even noticed the difference. I'm excited for my crystal super bc I think the slightly increased fov will be enough to make the difference in fov from 8kx completely unnoticeable. Tracking: I was worried about tracking cause everybody complaining on this sub. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the tracking worked great. The setup process was easier than I was expecting and it didn't need to be reset every time I used it like I heard. I did need to reset it periodically but it's super easy and fast. Tracking wasn't as good as quest 2 but better than valve base station imo. Had some problems with controllers behind head (which when do u actually do that other than testing really?) and when holding up really close to face. But more importantly it didn't lose tracking on my head or cause my game to flip me around like my index base stations would. Overall I'd give tracking a solid B grade. Controllers: feel pretty good. USB C charging awesome. Hold charge pretty well. Fit into my quest 2 grips with index like straps. Only complaint is the joy stick had a strange sound when rolling at the bottom. Kinda sounds like a spring. I'm worried that the joy stick might break after awhile like all my index controllers have. But God willing they won't. Comfort: Good, I like the pimax head straps for the most part since I learned how to wear them properly. Would be nice if the tightening knob was flush for laying down or headrest. Also I noticed the crystal light tended to tilt left on my head sometimes unlike my 8kx. Audio: Again surprising good considering people's complaints. I thought the SMAS was adequate. They could be louder is the main flaw imo. Pretty much got a rock it at 100%. I have the DMAS as well. Which are better sounding and louder. But I also like the SMAS bc it's nice not having something on your ears. Picture: Great! Best picture I've had on a headset to date. Significantly shaper and better colors than the 8kx. Blacks look great in dark scenes as well. Don't feel a need for an oled but I also haven't tried one since the OG vive and I Samsung Odyssey+. No problems with the screens that I could tell like mura or major distortions or anything like that. I had no trouble finding and staying in the sweet spot and I could move my eyes around without too much distortions except the very edges which I don't really tend to do except when testing. The only thing I noticed at one point was what I would maybe describe as screen tearing when I first got it in very specific scenarios. But idk if I got used to it or it went away but I didn't notice it after awhile. Overall If this was my first headset I can't even imagine how amazed I'd be. VR truly has come along way. Congrats pimax.

These are the 6th pair of VR headset I have purchased. It started with the Valve Index, Reverb GT, Then my favorite (until now) Varjo Aero, After that I purchased the Pimax Crystal that of course comes with a battery and is just a real heavy headset. I then ended up buying the Varjo XR-4 for the inflated price of $6000 which were the worst set I ever bought and had to pay Hell to send them back. The other day I decided to buy the Pimax Crystal light and I now have my favorite pair for sure. The clarity and comfort are outstanding! It is really a lot like the Crystal but about a third of the weight. I can spend hours flying across the US and never feel like I need a break. This is all about the product. If you want to talk about Pimax Customer Service it would be a one or maybe a two at best. If you get a good pair that works you are doing great. If you need Customer Service...... Good luck... My reason for that is back on March 16th of this year I ordered a pair of the Pimax Crystal Super that was supposed to be delivered in June that didn't happen. I reached out to Pimax 3 times in an email and have never gotten an answer.
