Customers are mixed about the resolution of the virtual reality headset.

The FOV is nice, but the resolution was spread over the larger area, not making any improvement on the clarity. Some say that the headset had 1 dead pixel.

"...PIMAX software was troublesome to get working and not intuitive." Read more

"...I would argue is an amazing upgrade from the Vive or Rift and is worth every penny.There are a few cons, though:..." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The comfort does not fit me either, I have a fairly large nose bridge, and this thing just sits on top of it with my 62mm IPD. I've tried adjusting the straps, but it seems the common theme is to ditch it and get a Deluxe Audio Strap from a Vive. Seems like a pretty crappy option to me, just give us a strap that doesn't suck.
The face pad is terrible. it has no nose support, and if you have a large nose with a more narrow IPD, your nose will be crushed between the lenses.
Overall, I will be returning my unit. I'm tempted to get either a Vive Index or HP Reverb, or just go budget and get a Samsung Odyssey Plus to hold me over until the next generation of GPU and headsets come out. I don't think the 5k+ is worth any more than 300$. I would not recommend this until Pimax gets their head out of their ass and starts delivering on their product. How hard would it have been to have someone just plug it in and run it for 5-10 minutes to ensure the LCD wasn't dead? It's a premium niche product, at a premium price, without all the included bells and whistles on something like a Rift S or Index...
Update: I was going to order a second unit to give it another go, but I've decided to go with the HP Reverb, it has a higher per eye vertical resolution, which I think may be necessary to really bring the full image quality I'm looking for. While the 5k+ Was good for the 20 or so minutes, it was good, but after thinking about all the flaws, I couldn't recommend it. All I can hope is that eventually they will be good, but for now, IMO, stay away, if you aren't a tinkering type, just go to your local big box store that sells electronics (you know, the blue and yellow one...) and pick up a Rift. If you are on a budget, consider the Odyssey Plus, I believe the big box store has those, or at least you can order it to the store and have a return plan if it doesnt work out. If you have a beefy computer, the HP Reverb may be an option. Overall I'd say those 3 choices should leave you with alternatives over the Pimax.
Now lets talk about the downsides; At this given moment, the headset has no full package to purchase. So if you don't currently own any steam VR equipment with a delux audio strap then you will have to buy them separately. At the time of this review, the delux audio straps are STUPID expensive right now. I bought mine previously for 75$ (ebay)but now they are double even triple the price. The current strap that comes with the headset is subpar. So given that information, if you have a steam VR setup with Vive/Valve equipment AND/OR a extra delux audio strap then I highly recommend this headset.

So product is useless. even on the support forum it is not available...... Im so upset
Revision, the next day software is back available online for download.
But after trying on 2 PC, and a new RTX 2070 Super graphics card.
the PC does not see the headset as a new display. Watched many youtube videos, and spent 6 hrs trying to make it connect, Product does not work.
Sending it back
Pi-Max article came with non Australian plug pack.
& googles missing the head strap .
unable to use item - very disappointing
VIVE.Rift(110°)やWinMR(100°前後)などであった視野の窮屈感のせいで
ゲームの世界から現実に引き戻されることがありましたが、圧倒的な200°でさらに
片目2560×1440という解像度はゲームの世界に入らせてくれます。
一度使うとVIVE PROに戻れません・・・
・装着感・
横に長いため大きさの割に重さを感じれず、重量はほぼVIVEと一緒ですが、
より軽く感じ、ストレスなくプレイできます。最近ではフェイスクッションの
改良やノーズレスト、とかのオプションも試作の最終段階がおわったみたいな
情報があって、さらに純正オーディオストラップオプションなどの販売もする
そうなので期待してます!
・ソフトウェア・
公式のPitoolはアップデートの頻度がすごくて、以前のような不安定感は
ないです。最近では日本語表示も対応して、さらに垂直方向の補正機能等
細かい設定ができるので、自分好みに変更できます。
・サポート・
ここが以前は大問題でしたが、最近日本修理工場、日本倉庫、日本サポート
を導入しているみたいで、公式への問い合わせも日本語でOKでした。
私のところに届いたのはトラッキングしない不具合がある物で、
日本語で問い合わせたところ日本語で対応していただけました。(日本人?)
返品の際には日本国内へ送って、新しいを頂きました。この間なんと一週間も
ありませんでした。本当に素早い対応とても感謝しております。
ソフトウェアやバグで問題あったときは「TeamViewer」という物を使い、
遠隔操作で調整や修正などを行ってくれるみたいです。なんと問い合わせは
Twitterからもできるみたいで、代理店兼日本サポートの「@teru2783」
という方がやっていて、私はPimaxの情報をこの方より最新の情報を仕入れていました。
私はアマゾンで購入しましたが、安く買う方法もこの方をみればわかるかも...?
・不満点・
HTCのコントローラーやベースステーションがあったので本体のみを購入して
使用することができたのですが、本体以外の発売が遅れていて純正のみを集めて
使うことはまだできません。発売延期は日常茶飯事ですので、我慢しましょう...
また、高性能のため要求スペックが非常に高いのでつよつよPCが必要です...
ゲームによるとは思いますが、特にグラフィックボードで5KPlusであれば
最低でもGTX1070Tiは必要だと思いました。
・総合的に・
やはりメリット、デメリットあるとは思いますが、視野が強すぎてやはり
敵う者がありません。断トツでおすすめのVRで、一度使ったら二度と既存の
110°のVRには戻れないでしょう。私は戻れません!!!!
さらに上位の8KX開発中のようですので出たらぜひお金に余裕があれば
ぜひなんとか入手できればいいなと思っています!
今後の展開をとても楽しみにしていますので、どんどんVR市場で進撃を続けて頂きたいです:)
Reviewed in Canada on April 25, 2020
The headset is also lighter which reduces the fatigue I would get from the Vive with Wireless adaptor. It is difficult to go back to the Vive binocular style FOV, but I do when I want wireless freedom in room scale.
Cons:
- I have a 4 monitor sim racing setup (triples + stats above) & so I run out of ports to plug the Pimax in (DP). Would be great if some headset manufacturers included compatibility / adaptors to use with the USB-C ports on RTX cards.
- Tracking doesn't feel as smooth / accurate as the Vive when trying games in Room scale, so I tend to still use my Vive with the wireless adaptor.
- Would be great if they could work out a wireless implementation, even if it had to reduce the FOV/Hz.
Overall, I am excited to see reviews on the upcoming Pimax 8KX & will consider upgrading.
