Don't believe the haters! I’m SERIOUSLY impressed with this headset. The image quality is fantastic - huge resolution, awesome lens, vibrant colors, and with zero screen-door effect. The wide field of view makes everything feel incredibly immersive, especially in simulators, and the high resolution makes a huge difference if you have the hardware to push all those pixels.Yes, it's a bit on the heavier and bulky side, but honestly, that doesn’t matter much when playing seated games like flight or racing sims. And there are various mods to make it significantly more comfortable! You can't really get all these specs and in particular the huge, excellent lens, without the slight bulkiness.For the level of visual clarity you get, it’s absolutely worth it. Easy 5 stars!

Spettacolare.Il miglior visore che abbia mai provato dopo pico 4 ultra,meta quest 3,HTC vive e via dicendo.Non capisco tutte le recensioni negative.

With a direct comparison with a Quest 3 using PC gaming only, this headset is way over priced. It's almost 3 times the cost of the Quest 3 all said and done. I will say the Visuals are a bit better but not almost a $1000 better. The pass through cameras are from 1990 compared to the Q3. It's very heavy on the checks/face which gets very hot and uncomfortable quicky. The built in speakers are pretty bad, think they also came from the 1990 bin, but they do offer better speakers at a premium price. They also offer a thicker face cushion but again, at a added cost. You'd be well into $1600 with add ons. Hard pass. Returned it after one days use as it's in no way worrth the cost. I believe 80% of the YouTube reviews are either paid or are gifted the headset to leave good reviews. Read the whole ad. They want $1100 + another $358 over two years to use their software.It would be a great VR headset but the price would need to drop dramatically to be even remotely competitive with a Q3's price point.

Had this just over a day and wow very impressed with it.I own the hp reverb g2 and this is miles better.I saw a few reviews about lens issues etc but mine seem to be ok love the clarity of the image.Not tested it yet on my simracing yet but can't wait to try it on it.It more comfortable than I was led to believe by some reviews but not had it on for more than an hour.But no issues for me upto now very happy.

Presumably the product is fine, if you receive one that is working. (I'd be interested in that probability if anyone knows.)Unfortunately, I had a hardware issue with the headset where the lower half of the left display was discolored and would drop pixels or show them as a primary color that was glaring. If you don't spend hours a day in VR, then fyi if one eye is malfunctioning its distracting and annoying at least, but at times nauseating. It worked pretty good other than that. Except I had an issue with beat saber not respecting my head position. This was almost certainly software related, I never got far enough to fix this beat saber bug due to the hardware issues.After about a month of somewhat stressful (hilarious in hind sight) interactions with numerous customer service representatives I was issued a RMA. If there is a hardware issue, Pimax can really only communicate one message a day, unless you are willing to switch to China's timezone. Also, at first, the tech support would show up in my e-mail, but if I responded by e-mail the message was not delivered, I had to use the support forum, this furthered the delay. I believe this issue has been fixed and an e-mail reply will reach tech support at this time.Communication was difficult in general, and due to the slow pace of interactions it took a month for something that should have taken a few days maybe a week. Then when they gave me the return label, it was wrong, the destination was my house, at this point it was over a month from the purchase.I had gotten in the habit of calling Amazon support first and then conference with Pimax and Amazon support. This tended to help communications and it was the 4th time I had contacted Amazon support to help with Pimax support. This time around the Amazon representative allowed a refund prior to conferencing with Pimax. Its not clear how Amazon allowed this, the first 3 times Amazon insisted that I go through Pimax, which I was fine with at first. Maybe if enough grief is experienced by the customer Amazon will let you go through them? Whatever the case, I jumped at the opportunity because the progress with Pimax was excruciatingly slow, and showed no sign of improving.In theory, I really like the idea of a independent high tech VR company, and I would really like to see a company like this succeed. I don't especially like giving a bad review, but I paid a bunch for this headset and I expect it to work as advertised, when it didn't work correctly the path was long a narrow.If I got a TV and 1/4 of the pixels were bad and would display bad colors and dropped pixels, I would hope the return process wouldn't take longer than a month. It was over a month and I hadn't even shipped it back yet. Who knows how long the total process would take, and if it would have gone smoothly. With so many goofball mistakes its hard for me to believe that none of them were on purpose, this would allow them to draw out the time of the return improving the bottom line. This is purely speculation on my part, maybe the support staff is just really bad at their jobs.Supporting Pimax seemed fine at first, but I'd rather not subsidize them. Good thing I bought it through Amazon despite the sharp price difference from the Pimax website. It might make you wonder, why is Amazon priced so much higher? I know why.

Great product. Very clear works well with vive controllers.

I bought the Pimax5K to replace an Oculus Rift nearly a year ago and only after I had tested th upgraded Oculus & several other new VR headsets just coming on the market at the time. I was impressed by the Pimax claims of lowered Screen Door Effect (SDE) and a wider field of view,which when properly adjusted it delivers. I bought the Pimax through a special offer on Amazon and after some delay it arrived.It came in an impressive box, but without the scanner box(s) necessary to make in a completely serviceable VR utility, at the time Pimax did not offer their own but I was able to order one of them that would work for about $100.00. I was also unhappy with the headstraps that were supposed to hold the headset in place ...they did not do the job with this headset & its weight and did not have built in headphones . After the very comfortable Oculus Rift that came complete with a very comfortable headstraps & headphone set the Pimax which cost considerably more,this was very disappointing.Fortunately there was an online recommendation to get a replacement headset from another VR company that with a homemade conversion and additional facial cushions that made a much better “fit” than the single cushion that came with Pimax.This new ( but used ) headstrap & new cushions cost an additional $125.00 or so. The money I had saved in the special price from Amazon was sadly negated by these necessary additional items. I play IL-2Great Battles series almost exclusively and that’s what I bought the Pimax for. I am fortunate that the Forum for the sim had a VR section with all sorts of advice for the various VR sets ,including Pimax 5K ( which has a lot of support there by the way.)Obviously the best advice I got was to download the newest Pitool from Pimax and to adjust it for the afore mentioned flight sim.I also got suggested in game settings that would help in clarity & performance . I found it good to write these down, because upgrades in Windows ,in IL-2 , Pitool, and other unknowns tend to throw settings out the window from time to time...maddening but manageable. So after a year of use I have to say I’m happy with the results and generally with Pimax support as well.when is is all lined up & on the beam it is simply wonderful and I’m keeping the 5K for a while. The SDE is still with me but it is much reduced from Oculus products .Through the Pitool I can play with field of view, but mostly keep it on “Normal” which is acceptable. Fit & comfort are still problematic, but again manageable at least for periods of less than an hour or so. Pimax now offers much more in accessories than it did a year ago for its newest generation of VR but at a cost...also the newest generation requires a very pricey graphics card the 2080 from Nvidia. This would require about $2000.00 or so which is very dear after spending about $900.00 less than a year ago,so I’ll be keeping my 5K for a while longer before getting the newest Pimax ( which I very much want) but at the same time saving my pennies & as always keeping an eye out for what the other VR guys come up with....

筆者は無印viveからの乗り換え。現状、自身のPC構成(gtx1080/i7-9700K)では最高画質でスムーズなプレイができているわけではないので限定的なレビューになる。要約すると良い点・液晶による高精細・他にはない高視野角(素晴らしい。世界が変わる！)・目立ちにくい縦横のスクリーンドア(網目)悪い点・当たり前だが要求スペックが高いこと・少し薄めの色合い(気になる人は気になるかも)・アイドル時の謎惑星以下詳細なレビュー↓・外観などについて　外観はややチープ。落としたら盛大に壊れそうに思う。装着感については標準ストラップのhtc viveと同程度に感じる。大きめの眼鏡だが無理なく装着できた。ACアダプターも一昔前のおもちゃ用のようなつるっとした質感の物がついてきて、細かいところでコストダウンを図っているなという印象。ただ、一番大事なHMD用USB&Displayportの線などはしっかりとしたもののようだ。・映り方について　画質：画質設定を下げた状態でもそれなりに高精細に見える。流石に遠景などは少々ギザギザ感が出るが、初代vive等の第一世代と比べるともちろん細かい部分まで視認できる仕上がりになっている。もしも良いGPUを積んでいるならより高精細に見えるかもしれない。視野角：文句なしに最高。素晴らしい。このためだけに買う価値は絶対にある。真後ろのキャラクターを見るのに180度回転せずとも100度ほどの回転から横目で見えるのには感動した！しかし、最大視野角設定にするとかなりPCに無理をさせることになるので、PCによっては大変かもしれない。世界が変わることは確実。端のゆがみもそんなに感じられない(眼鏡ユーザーなのでそもそもレンズがない部分をそんなに横眼で見ないのもあるかも)色合い：液晶モデルという事で確実に色は薄いものの、個人的には許容範囲。専用ソフトで色調補正ができるのもあり、こだわらない限りあまり問題がなく思う。悪く言うなら迫力不足、良く言うなら目にやさしくて疲れにくい感じ。スクリーンドア(網目)：有機ELの斜め網目から液晶の横網目になった。もちろんゼロにはなっていないがかなり少ないと思う。液晶の横網目になったことで一つ一つのドットが四角くなり、遠景の小さいオブジェクトだと四角いちらつきやピクセル感が出てくるが、ここは正直好みの問題かもしれない。自分は斜め網より好きなので満足。・接続などその他接続はもともとvive環境なら簡単ですぐ移行できるように思う。初回、USBドライバのインストールが上手くいかなかったようで一度ドライバを削除してから再接続したが、その後は問題なく動いている。PCのスリープ後などに認識されなくなった場合はタスクマネージャーからPiServiceLauncherを再起動すると再認識されるようだ。ここは少々めんどくさい。アイドル時に表示されるpimaxオリジナルの謎惑星が妙に重く、アイドルさせながらの作業がしにくいのが難点。これは何らかの方法で表示を切るか、さっさとsteamVRをつけるしかなさそうでちょっと不満。・まとめ長々と書いてしまったが、タイトルにある通り大満足。本当に素晴らしい！の一言で、買って良かったと思っている。何よりもこの高視野角は他では味わえない特権、どうあれ価値ある買い物になると思う。
