"It's an incredible image quality, wow. This is absolutely insane. It has super high resolution, yet it's bright at the same time. I was a bit afraid because, like the demo at CES, the first day wasn’t that good, but then it was getting better. But now, it's getting way better. This is feeling so real now. What I'm really happy about is that you’ve solved the distortion problem. Also, there is no warping around the edges. I'm really happy and impressed." - Sebastian

"It's a very nice resolution and crisp image. I'm looking at the screws in the cockpit, and they're so crisp. It's next level. This combination of brightness and resolution is so good. It's 100% comfortable for me in this headset with this demo. With this experience now, I would say I'd love to see the Crystal Super." - Marco

"For the first time, i use the top strap on the Crystal Super, and i must say it made a big difference in overall comfort. After getting into DCS and looking down at the map in the cockpit, I could actually read the small details—something I haven't been able to do with any other headset.

To put it simply, the graphics in this VR headset are not quite, but close to, looking at a 4K monitor. And the colors are just popping— absolutely wonderful. The dislplay in the headset  is very clear, and one thing i noticed is how bright it is, but not uncomfortably so." - Mark

“My go-to headsets for VR simulations have been the original Pimax Crystal and the Pimax Crystal Light. And while I’m still blown away every time I run DCS at maxed-out resolution on the original Crystal, I’ve always been curious—how could VR visuals get even sharper than this? Then i tried the Crystal Super and i was genuinely impressed by the clarity from the get-go. It is another level.

The Super features an auto IPD adjuster and no external battery, along with eye-tracking, which is a big deal for me personally. Even with most DCS settings set to high, the headset maintained a solid 90 frames per second at its native resolution. I also tried it with the optional top strap, and it came surprisingly close to the comfort levels of a Quest 3." - Laubox

"The image in DCS during a daylight scenario is very clear and bright, showcasing the real advantage of QLED and glass lenses. The Pimax Crystal Super also features eye-tracking, which was also activated in DCS and enabled DFR. This means that you can achieve very high FPS even with high graphics settings." - Der VR Komplize

"I tried the DCS with the Crystal Super and it was a blast. Even if you want to see the screen door effect, you don't see it. There is no distortion, the colors are clear, and the brightness is very high" - Thomas
