As far as VR gaming is concerned, there are two distinct paths a VR headset can take. One is to go affordable and lightweight—compromising high-end visuals for accessibility and lower cost—and the other is to cram every feature you can imagine, and cost be damned. At $1,600, guess which camp the Pimax Crystal falls into.
On paper, the Pimax Crystal was supposed to be the ultimate gaming VR headset, promising to rival the Meta Quest Pro in performance and even challenge the unreleased Apple Vision Pro with its impressive glass lenses and 8K resolution. However, in reality, it's turned out to be truly disappointing. Using the darn thing requires a lot of effort and a whole lot of patience.
