Pimax Recensioni 

Overall, best VR Set I have owned (five) in that in flight simulator 2024 clarity is outstanding & smooth running a 5090 GPU. Only is for me is head aches after about 45 minutes. Hoping Pimax will provide us with an excellent faceplate. Thanks!!!

Enjoy using the Super 57PPD. Clarity and visuals are outstanding. I use the headset for DCS. I have a high end pc system i built late 2023 ( with 64gb of ddr5, Ryzen 7 7800x3d cpu and a rtx 4080). Once I fine tuned the headset, it works perfectly. Definitely recommend purchasing it.

I added the Crystal Super OLED to my 50ppd. I am impressed with the clarity and colours albeit a small reduction in FOV is noticeable but you adapt. The first unit had to be replaced for an audio issue. The current unit does develop a slight hissing sound during those days during the heatwave but on cooler days this sound is not evident. Pimax may need to increase unit cooling. Overall I am a happy Customer who really enjoys the visuals in DCS World. 🙂

I only owned an Oculus Rift before a Dream Air. The only thing I knew about VR was the gap in time between these two headsets. What I wouldn’t know about the Dream Air is what that difference would actually feel like until first use.

I may be ignorant in that regard but, to this day, I do not believe I’d have a greater appreciation for the Dream Air if I could have lived dollar by dollar, focused on every increment of progression in the VR industry. As a metaphor from life experience, I have lived through forty days and forty nights of a once unending storm in the islands of Hawaii. Seeing the pixel-dense display and responsiveness of the Dream Air is like seeing clear skies after that storm.

Yet, it wasn’t just the image or the audio quality either. I have slowly noticed an even greater personal benefit based on one of my typical use cases: since around late July, I have been consistently sleeping with the headset on numerous occasions for hours on end, resting both supine and or on either side.

Bear in mind, this is also me sleeping with the temporary 2-D strap! That is a huge testament to me for the comfort-centric design of the Dream Air where the split display cables DO NOT push against the connection points on the stems where my head rests while supine! Sleeping sideways does not cause me discomfort where the audio stem contacts either side of my temple. In my eyes, the Dream Air lives up to its name.

Yet, it takes an exceptional company to not only make an exceptional product like the Dream Air, but to elevate their customers’ perspective of their value to the company. Pimax does that for me in the sense of pride, confidence, and know-how that they convey in their customer support, persistent blogging, insight library posts, and social media engagement. Since February of this year, I don’t think I have ever missed a single blog or insight post to this day, and not a single one about the Dream Air goes by without seeing a smile on my face as I think “Yeah, I made the right choice”.

I chose Dream Air, and I choose Pimax.

Each day that I find myself having a good laugh with friends from afar, sprawled out in restful company or solitude, or marveling at the finer details in worlds that I’d never imagine- each experience is owed in part to Pimax and their Dream Air whom I chose to be a part of it all.

The experience with he headset is great with both (50ppd and micro-oled) I only have to print a custom face gasket for my face but when it’s done the wow effect is there

well the fact that you can dial down the resolution and such to make it run good on a lesser PC and not need to top dog to get it working.

It was nice in VR Gaming but it lacks some Mixed Reality Color cameras for using mixed reality where one can see physical panles and switches with the VR World..

It is the latest craze and Pimax is lagging behine here..

This review pertains only to my most recent experiences of the past several months. It must be noted that my previous experiences with Pimax, going as far back as the 8KX, tell a far different story.

I only use my Pimax Crystal Super (50ppd) strictly for flying in MSFS 2024, so I can not say anything about its performance when used in traditional "gaming" environments, but for Flight Simmers, there is no other way to go, as far as I am concerned. The graphics quality is bright, crisp, and amazingly clear. The smallest lettering on the guages is easily read. (Of course, that depends on the developer.) The Pimax Play software has finally grown into a trustworthy, easy-to-use tool. There are still a few setup stumbles, but mostly that has to do with the confusing setup overlap mistakes caused when you are dealing with Pimax, Osobo, and Nvidia, each of which having setup options to deal with. Not to mention, the other 3rd party players like OpenXR Toolkit, created by VR genius Matthieu Bucchianeri, which, although no longer supported, is still the only tool available that allows you to view your FPS realtime in the headset. This is not a fault of Pimax. It's just the nature of the VR beast.

I have had several experiences with Pimax Support, and each time I was satisfied with the service I received. The last problem I had was when a cooling fan in the 50ppd engine failed. Instead of me returning the defective engine to Pimax and then waiting for them to send me a new one, Pimax sent me a new engine first, then I sent back the defective one. I thought that was cool... (no pun intended).

Bottom line... I couldn't be happier with my Pimax Crystal Super 50ppd, and I'm contemplating purchasing the OLED engine.

My Crystal Light produces excellent visuals. I mostly do flight simulator so I prefer accurate ground reproduction for enjoyable flying. The Crystal Light does that. Where it’s lacking is in the standard audio solution. The SMAS is just too far from the ears to hear anything well. I tried for months to buy a set of DMAS but were always out of stock. I eventually found online a Pimax 8K accessory kit that included DMAS so now I’m enjoying much better audio.

I have already tested both the original facial interface and the new Studio Foam interface.

I completely blocked all external light entering through the nose area.

The issue remains exactly the same.

The image always looks covered by a white haze, as if the lenses were fogged or dirty, even though they are perfectly clean.

This is not only visible in bright scenes but also in menus and normal gameplay.

Since I also own a Crystal Light, I can directly compare both headsets, and the Crystal Light does not exhibit this behavior. The Dream Air image is significantly hazier and shows a constant white halo around the entire field of view. In addition, the fastening strap is too uncomfortable; for the high price, it should be comfortable and of better quality.

It makes my VR experience very immersive. I have had the Quest3 and the Pimax Crystal Super is a world ahead in clarity and resolution. The optical distortions and field of view is not quite as good as the Quest but the resolution and clarity make up for that, I am glad I payed the extra for the Super Micro-Oled.

The Pimax are great. Its a cliche saying but it true. Good quality overall. And the lens oh the lens thoose make every penny worth. Keep up the good work pimax.

All good and works well with good detail.

Only problem was a spot or dot that doest work and is noticeable when playing. The display must be damaged. Was like that when it was new. Should of returned it. My fault.

Pimax Crystal Super ($1500 headset) cable stopped working 2 weeks after I bought it so cant really share my experience except for frustration and inability to use my expensive headset. Second month waiting for the replacement cable, maybe my opinion changes.

Dear Pimax, build proper sturdy and durable hardware pls. Your support team seems good but the product design leaves a lot to be improved in durability aspect

My response to Pimax team comment:
Guys ticket number doesnt matter. First impression was already ruined and back and forth capturing logs, talking to support, picking up replacements, trying, messaging back. It all takes A LOT of time and nerves, I simply cant spend so much time on this.

kauft euch keine pimax crystal vr brille stänig wird der grafikkarten anschluss nicht gefunden jedes mal muss die software deinstalliert werden und alle daten müssen gelöscht werden nur damit die pimax crystal funtioniert das ist einfach nur beschissen bekommt das in den griff

Bought Crystal Light and got it in 3 days, works great.

I placed an order already three months ago. Until now Pixmax was not able to deliver the product. There was no indication on their homepage by that time that it takes so long and I directly needed to pay >1000€.

Customer support is answering quickly but only telling me each month that it takes another 4 weeks.

I am really unsatisfied how they manage and trust that I still receive what I ordered. Let´s see ...

Je suis content d'avoir reçu le casque mais quand j'ouvre l'application Pimax Play (indispensable pour utiliser le casque), j'ai un encard "expiré" qui s'affiche. Bon ok, après m'être renseigné il faut rajouter 250€ en plus des 800€ déjà réglé pour pouvoir l'activer... OK admettons, mais comment faire ? Je contacte le service client, on me demande de contacter le service technique. Oula ça commence bien, bon admettons... Je contacte le service technique, on me demande cette fois d'ouvrir un ticket à tel adresse puis d'attendre au moins 2 jours avant d'avoir une réponse. Ok lol, je vais renvoyer le casque et changer de marque ce sera plus simple. Sérieux on est encore au moyen âge ou quoi ? Ne tombez pas dans le panneau et passez votre chemin, entreprise pas sérieuse et c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire.

The headset I ordered was not in stock and after a couple of months asked for my money back and thats when the trouble started, I had to take out a case with paypal to retrieve my money, TERRIBLE TERRIBLE company avoid at all cost.

I was looking to purchase the two small screws for the headphones on the Crystal light as one dropped out during use. They told me they would sent me a couple of the screws even though the headset was out of warranty.
Then along came the catch the p&p for the screws (which you could put a dozen of on your thumbnail) would be £20.
This is Pimax at their best of overcharging customers for spares. They have clearly forgotten how much they struggled in the early days, but customers stood by them to make the the company they are. I feel totally exploited by the way they wanted to look good with the free screws, only to find I was actually paying for them.
No more Pimax headsets for me in the future, due to this. I read on the forums about their poor customer service, so this is the last time I will be looking to Pimax for an upgrade. New VR technologies are fast on their heals, by then there will be no point trying to hold on to their loyal customers, the damage will be done.
John (very disappointed customer).

Great VR headset but the worst service. I had the Crystal Light before and already had issues with promised delivery times. Then I ordered the Crystal Super and waited 6 months. I ended up canceling the order and just buy it in a store (alternate.de). Seems like Pimax is preferring retailers. Then I ordered the Ultrawide engine on Pimax.com in September of 2025. I received an engine in Jan 2026. But the wrong engine (57PPD). 10 mails with the service (about a week response time on some of the mails) later, in March 2026, I have still not received the correct engine, though I was told in January that it is in stock. Really frustrating.
