Pimax unveils new VR headsets offering the widest field of view for micro-OLED

Pimax today shared a major update on its Micro-OLED product line: the Dream Air SE, Dream Air, and Crystal Super Micro-OLED. First revealed earlier this year, these headsets are now approaching launch with finalized specifications, improved features, and confirmed availability. More importantly, they demonstrate Pimax’s unique ability to deliver two of the most advanced VR technologies, Micro-OLED displays and pancake optics, together in real, shipping products.

Pimax’s Technological Breakthrough

Micro-OLED is widely regarded as the future of VR thanks to its ultra-high pixel density, near-infinite contrast, and deep blacks. But the technology comes with significant hurdles, including heat management, optical compatibility, and scaling to high resolutions. Pimax has solved these challenges with its proprietary three-element ConcaveView pancake optics, enabling Micro-OLED to achieve both clarity and immersion without compromise. This achievement establishes Pimax as the first VR company to make Micro-OLED practical at scale, delivering not just prototypes but a complete, diverse headset lineup.

Product Updates

Dream Air SE – All-in-One 5K Micro-OLED VR headset for everyone

Dream Air SE combines 2560 × 2560 resolution per eye with ultra-sharp Micro-OLED panels, bringing premium clarity in one of the lightest VR headsets ever made at less than 140 g. Built-in 6DOF SLAM tracking, Tobii eye-tracking, dynamic foveated rendering, and integrated spatial audio create a full-featured package that’s ideal for everyday VR. At $899, it makes high-end Micro-OLED technology more accessible to gamers and creators than ever before.

Dream Air – The world's smallest full-feature 8K resolution VR headset

Dream Air is the compact flagship, featuring 3840 × 3552 resolution per eye—over 27 million pixels combined—with Sony Micro-OLED panels for unrivaled sharpness. Thanks to Pimax’s ConcaveView pancake optics, it achieves a 110° horizontal and 120°+ diagonal FOV, unprecedented for such a portable form factor, weighing under 170 g. Optimized stereo overlap enhances depth perception, making it perfect for both gaming and professional applications. Lightweight, portable, and uncompromising in image quality, Dream Air represents the ultimate travel-ready headset.

Crystal Super Micro-OLED – The world's most powerful Micro-OLED experience

The Crystal Super Micro-OLED pushes the boundaries further, offering 116° horizontal and 128°+ diagonal FOV with Sony Micro-OLED panels and ConcaveView optics—the widest field of view ever achieved on Micro-OLED VR. As part of the modular Crystal ecosystem, it supports interchangeable optical engines, including Ultrawide, 57 PPD clarity-focused, and now Micro-OLED, giving users the flexibility to switch between maximum immersion and maximum sharpness. With its premium comfort design, advanced stereo overlap, and compatibility with high-end flight and racing simulation setups, Crystal Super Micro-OLED is designed for enthusiasts and professionals who demand the very best.

Availability

Pre-orders for all three headsets remain open, with shipments scheduled to begin later this year. Early adopters will receive exclusive accessories such as prescription lens frames and a free copy of Le Mans Ultimate. All models are fully supported by the Pimax Prime program, which ensures ongoing service and software updates. We’re also offering a limited batch of prototype micro-OLED optical engines to loan exclusively to our earliest Crystal Super supporters. Application link: https://pimax.com/pages/review-program
