Pimax Vision 5K Super（180 Hz）

the reason there are so many bad reviews is because people either don't have the correct computer you can run a vr headset with a MacBook it doesn't work or its that you damaged via dropping it or. your mail man dropped it don't blame everything on the headset and maybe the blur is from your sweaty head. or your house is just dusty. dont blame every bad thing on the headset because there can be other causes.

Has been amazing! Can’t thank you eneough.
Summer has been supportive the rough out and been amazing at answering all my questions. She’s been brilliant and sealed me buying

I’m so pleased I made this purchase. Pimax customer service where brilliant at every step of the way. The product is amazing and especially 144hz :-) nothing like 130 FPS down the mulsane straight :-)

Upgrade from valve index. The field of view is incredible, the refresh rate is amazing, the resultion and visuals it can produce just stunning. The ability to turn off fixed foviated rendering is great. This is the next level of immersion

With the only main cons being the audio and mic, and with this being £540 Vs the index hmds £459, this headset just wins on price when sold in this deal

I primarely bought this headset for it's fast framerate, as I got seasick while playing certain VR games using the Rift-S.
Knowing that the headset had imperfections (such as the screen-door effect), I still bought it.

I bought:
Headset / Hand Tracking Module / KDMAS Earphone / SteamVR Base Station 2.0 / VR comfort kit Foam (free)
(no controllers)

Personal experience:
I sent a mail to customer support, asking a bit more details of what parts were shipped from where.
Wasn't very helpful, as they mentioned the following > "Our price in EU is always include the tax" (from [****]).

I live in Belgium and had to pay around 99 euro import tax on top of whatever price was listed here for the Base Stations 2.0 & KDMAS (this is after the new regulations).
All the other modules were all sent individually, some of them through Amazon, others FedEx.
I wouldn't have bought base stations from here, if I knew I'd had to pay so much tax for them.
Never pay tax on stuff from Amazon.

The KDMAS package contains a bad screwdriver, it's too big!
It actually damages the screws on your headset.
Luckely, the package contained more spare screws (which is a big plus) and I had a phone repair toolkit from AliExpress available.
By using a screwdriver that was 1 size smaller than the included one, I had no issues with installing the KDMAS.

Pros:
- Large FOV (I don't want another headset any more after this)
- High refresh rate
- High resolution (which actually negates some of the Cons)
Don't notice screen-door effect & poor lens quality as much when playing on high resolution
- Software setup was really easy with the Pitool & other settings > Good compatibility!
- Swappable face covers
- VR comfort kit is good for people that wear glasses
- Headset / Headstrap feels comfortable / good balanced weight distribution when wearing

Cons:
- Screen-door effect (google this if you don't know what it means, might be a dealbreaker for some people)
- Not the best quality lenses, I experience blurry edges (maybe because I wear glasses?)
- SMAS is weak and has poor quality, you need the KDMAS to have an acceptable experience
- Headset has a relatively short cable, but it works just fine for my setup
- Headstrap feels kind of fragile on the sides, but didn't pose a problem so far
- Need a good PC for this headset
I run a 1080TI, which is comparable to a 3060 and can't run the best settings in Boneworks (although, I expected this).
Also recommend a CPU with at least 6 cores (RIP my 7700k).

TLDR;
Overall happy with the headset & included software, but I'd buy Base Stations elsewhere.
Change the KDMAS screwdriver!
Thank you.

Update:
I received a refund from Pimax, regarding the Import Tax I had to pay.
Thank you!
