Pimax Crystal Light Review | Best Bang-For-Your-Buck VR Headset?

"One of the things you'll notice in the Pimax Crystal Light right from the get-go is the incredible visuals and clarity of the display, including all the small writing, gauges, lights, absolutely everything. Truly is crystal clear."

Pimax Crystal Light In MSFS | First Impressions

"For its price point and what you get. It has the best resolution, the best coloring, the best displays of any other headset that is currently even remotely close within its price point."

Pimax Crystal Light Review: A New PCVR King is Born

"I've tested tens of VR headsets over the years and there has always been some sort of level of frustration... but Pimax genuinely knocked it out of the park with this one. I've had absolutely no issues, disconnections, artifacts, or reasons not to love this new headset."

FAQs

You pay the base price of $599 and receive the headset.
If you like the headset, choose Pimax Prime, you can choose to pay at once for a discount (10%), or you can keep trying the headset for 14 days (and then choose Prime), or refund.
After your 14 day trial period ends, refunds are no longer possible.
Any refunds issued will also include any costs paid for Pimax Prime

For any technical issue through no fault of the user within the warranty, Pimax will replace the headset at no cost for the user. Any costs, including shipping , are covered by Pimax.

Yes. After 24 months (or if you decide to pay off Prime in one go), the whole headset is yours and you'll never be required to pay for any subscription. The subscription is tied to your headset, so even if you sell it, the subscription won't reset.

This refund policy from Pimax is quite good, users can try the headset for 14 days and then refund it if they want. (Many high-end VR brands do not offer any form of refund.)
We see this as offering more flexible options for users. Users can choose themselves to pay for Prime in one time or 24 months.

Again, 24 months is an option. Users can also just choose to pay in one-go and never have this situation.
Any contract duration left, users can also pay off the remainder of the months left, but then no discount (10% for Light and 12% for Super) is available.
Even then, every headset (including Pimax Prime) can be transferred twice in the duration of the contract.

You can pay Prime at once and you never have this situation occur. But yes, if you choose for monthly payments, and miss a payment, then the Pimax Play software will stop functioning, until you complete the payment.

No, you don't need to pay any fees, including shipping and restocking fees. It's completely worry-free.

The warranty period starts from the date you receive the product.

Local Dimming is a technology that enhances the black levels on your screen, making the dark areas even darker. The difference between the 'With Local Dimming' version and the 'Without Local Dimming' version is not only reflected in the hardwares, but also in the software. The purpose of launching Crystal Light is to better cater to the needs of users who pursue high definition but have a low budget. Implementing local dimming technology not only relies on software algorithm support, but also requires mini-LED backlight technology.

Therefore, the 'Without Local Dimming' version of the head display does not have the original backlight configuration.

Flying High

I received my Crystal Light just in time for the release of MSFS 2024 and I was excited to try it out. I had the use of an original Crystal and used it in MSFS 2020 since it's release and I had high hopes. It's reduced weight was the big selling point for me having experience with the original Crystal, I already expected the same level of visuals. I wasn't disappointed. There's less pressure on the cheek bones and forehead now. The original was well balanced but the weight in turning my head became tiring after a few hours. I did also order the top comfort strap for the CL. Now I did have an issue with the lenses. There was a wrinkle of sorts in both of them that caused a rippled effect to the image when turning my head. I contacted Pimax through the windows app and received a response the same day. They agreed there was an issue with the lenses and posted a new set which arrived within 3 weeks of my initial complaint. I don't see this as an issue due to the process and international shipping. The headset still worked and i could use it. I've now fitted the new lenses and the experience is perfect. Super clear visuals, 40 fps avg. In MSFS 2024 with mostly ultra settings and some high. Super smooth. I am running a RoG Strix RTX 4090 OC with a 5800X3d and 64GB Ram which helps. I've given 4 Stars due to the hiccup with the initial lenses but Pimax stepped up and sorted my issue quickly thanks to the customer support team. I highly recommend.

Awesome upgrade from the G2

I upgraded to the Crystal Light from the Reverb G2. I love the clarity of this headset, especially once you dialed in the settings. Cockpit instruments are sharp. Visuals are awesome. I mostly fly helicopters low level in DCS & MSFS so the added image detail both inside and outside the cockpit adds to the level of immersion. The DMAS sound quality is on par with the ones from the G2 which are great. I just wish Pimax made this standard on their headsets. I added a topstrap and new cushions and spacers from StudioForm Creative to customize it to my face shape. Now it fits perfectly and is even more comfortable.
