Expecting Pimax 8KX reviews [Review]

Have any games or experiences you want me to try it with? I have quite a few games, but not DCS or Onward.

Also, I need to figure out the steamvr setting I need to change to bump up the max rendering resolution before I can give it a full review.

Initial impressions:

  • The comfort kit is comfortable, it seems a little like the faux-velvet will soak up sweat.
  • The SMAS audio is pretty good, better than I expected but like @SweViver said, it lacks punch in the bass. I also have an Oculus Go (and a DK2, Vive, Rift, Index, and an 8k) and the audio from the SMAS sounds better than the Oculus Go in my opinion.
  • SDE is fully gone, just threw the headset on and tried looking around and seeing if I could see it and I can’t.
  • Distortions, there are some at the very edges of view (on LARGE FOV mode), when I push the headset against my head more they seem to lessen, so hopefully the thin foam (which was not in my box) solves that. Once again, it’s at the very edges of your vision, if you are looking forward you can’t see it.
  • Tracking with the V1 lighthouses works perfectly, syncing to the knuckles controllers required one of them to be rebooted a few times but otherwise connected nice and quick.
  • Games seem to work well and are quite readable but I need to up the max resolution of steamvr to allow for higher resolutions.

So, what else do you want to hear about?
