The price remains high, though.
But what becomes a genuine issue is just how large the Pimax Crystal Light feels on your face.
The Crystal Light extends well beyond the width of my face and becomes clumsy as a result.
I found the Crystal Lights included head strap to be an unfortunate case of close-but-not-quite.
Its a triangular pad which means it pushes against rather than grabbing the back of your head.
Admittedly, things started out well.
Its clear here that Pimax isnt targeting the me of this market.
This is an advanced headset for a smaller, more niche crowd and not something for the casual community.
This is a headset for high-end users who dont get enough from the likes ofPSVR 2.
Pimax was named asMicrosofts Official Peripheral Partner for MSFS2024 and its a partnership that makes perfect sense.
Should you buy the Pimax Crystal Light?
Ultimately the problem with the Pimax Crystal Light is twofold.
