VR Flight Sim Guy's favorite VR headset of 2023 - Pimax Crystal

Every time someone asked me what is your favorite VR headset right now, in the past couple of months there’s been so many different headsets I’ve been trying, I didn’t really know myself which one was my favorite. But now I’ve finally come to the conclusion I really have, and this is based upon one simple thing when I go flying in MSFS or DCS World: which headset do I pick up the most, which is my main daily driver. Now it’s probably no surprise to you that since I am wearing it right now, it is the Pimax Crystal.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

For the last 3 years I have received great support from your Team. Keep up the good work.

Thanks again, Looking forward to this headset. I have used VR all the way back to the Oculus DK 1 11 years as a sim racer.

Support was impressively not overwhelmed by my detailed report, and quickly identified in a kind way where in my testing I went wrong (with the type of adapter I purchased). The why, followed by a summary of actions was very helpful to keep things both detailed and understandable!

very good and professional, fixed issue, will support company in the future, i am very happy!

Promptly answered my support question and provided requested information. Thank you!

James has been very helpful and patient, and kindly guided me through the RMA process.

Great response and quick resolution to my problem. Thanks.

Excitement about Pimax Crystal!

I have been an enthusiastic flight simulator fan with semi-professional standards for over 30 years.

Later, model helicopters and airplanes followed to satisfy my inner flying spirit.

Since 2020 I have even acquired my private pilot license and mostly fly the Ikarus C42 for my hobby.

Tried the Crystal wide FOV lenses (with WIMFOV data)

I got to try the *wide fov lenses* on the crystal.

TLDR: its like the normal lenses, but an extra ~10 degree horizontal with some mild (2/10) distortion in the extra fov region. Cant imagine anyone would want to use the normal lenses with these as an option.

Bought the Pimax Crystal and nothing horrible happened… yet. It’s a tinkerers toy, though.

This sub is full of various horror stories, and I appreciate to be able to read all of them. Alas, I’d like to add one that is not a horror story, just to balance it out a little bit.

I ordered the Crystal and some accessories a couple of weeks back. From their store, as Amazon is not an option in my country (Norway), and there aren’t any other local resellers either. I fully knew that I was taking a risk, considering everything that I had read beforehand. But contrary to my fears, the packages were sent quickly and arrived without any problems or delays. Customs and VAT were taken care of, I had no surprise fees to pay at the border. An almost flawless experience, except for one little thing: the shipment wasn’t associated to my (new) Pimax account, so I couldn’t see my order status on their web page. Support rectified that within one day.
