Amidst all the hype and craze. I really hope Pimax delivers on the build quality

Pimax 8K Series

And does proper quality control.

My Pimax Loaner unit came with a few defects and I am sure plenty of other backers have had to RMA their headsets for various reasons.

Pimax please dont screw this up. I am an 8KX backer and I am willing to opt for the ruggised edition just so I get my headset checked out before its sent.

You are in the realm of prosumers now and charging over 1,000 $ I wish you guys the best as usual but please for the love of VR do it right the first time.

Thanks for you listening.

They already stated in the past that they put a lot of engineering force in straightening the quality assurance problems, it should be addressed by now…

I may get a ban for this but they may eventually listen.

Hmmm. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. Personally, I like the blocky angular aesthetic which Pimax chose to use. If only the plastic was a bit more sturdy (and not subject to cracking), I’d be completely satisfied.

@Heliosurge, any idea as to why c-h-u-n-k-y would be considered a forbidden word on this forum? “Your post contains a word that’s not allowed”

Fixed. Might have been a typo for a different word. Not sure otherwise.

I also don’t mine the blocky angular aesthetic which Pimax chose to use, I just don’t think the joint between the back case and the front case looks very professional. It also has that bad ripple on the front housing.
The quote above should read mating, not matting, just bad typing by me :confounded::grimacing:

I don’t like the visible seam either, nor the top strap connection area. I do really like the overall aesthetic though.

I already had 4 RMA! To date, Pimax could not provide me with a Pimax 5k Plus where the case does not break.

I’d also like to buy a better Pimax 8kX or 8K, but I’m running out of confidence in this product.

There are always cracks in the case … it is so sad.

my last hope is RMA number 5.

If the 5 Pimax 5k has housing problems again … then I give it up! I do not want to do RMA every time. It is sad.

Its waste of your time , I guess its not break completly to the level that you see wires and circuit board , do RMA once per year and live with inperfection.
