Great helmet for simulators!

Great helmet for simulators. I'm not good for time lapse games but these are just my thoughts as I have other HMDs. The FOV is absolutely amazing and I absolutely love the software. Just a small change, but after typing, the display is so clear. LOVE my Pimax!

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Unsafe

Amazing field of view and refresh rate, average sound

FOV is a big upgrade over other VR headsets, but note that the refresh rate is 120Hz if you want to keep the maximum field of view. That's still an excellent refresh rate considering two 1440p screens. One downside is that the sound is very mediocre by default, but you can plug in your own headphones or get the DMAS update when it comes out.

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

Pimax requires you to download and play around with the Pitool software to get it right. The comfort is really good and they've improved on previous headsets…

  • Great for outdoor activities

Not for me for VR

The price and compromises of this headset are not worth it. The software and installation experience is flawed. Out of the box, I had to reflash the headset for the computer to recognize it. It took several attempts and I had a hard time finding the software to do it. Changing the refresh rate will close Steam VR and you will have to restart everything. Half the time you have to reset your headset or a Windows service to get it recognized again. Reading text is almost impossible. The lack of…

good if it works.

This is a great headset with great features but I've tried 8 of them so far, 7 of which came with dead pixels, the 8th has a scratch under the lens and a broken cable... I've been Having said that as the scratch is not too noticeable to just take it and keep the headset I am very very very disappointed with the quality control here, this is not my first pimax device either, I bought it as an upgrade from my master combining a lens scratch and a broken cable. 5ks will be just a gem with all my…
