Hinged head strap?

Is it possible for Pimax to offer a hinged head strap similar to the Samsung Odyssey, with built in mic and headphones. It doesn’t have to be part of this Kickstarter, but would be a great accessory to be able to buy from the Pimax store when everything is up and running.

What do you think?

Yes! Great idea, Fluke.
Why didn’t anyone suggest that as a stretch goal… Seriously, I’ve read a looooooot of posts here and on ks but nowhere have I seen anyone mention this. doh

Headset has built in mic & headphone jack. Hinge idea sounds like an idea.

I’m confused, I thought the upgraded stretch goal was what was in that video in the post here…

Yes I know there is a head strap with headphones and mic. I just wondered if it was possible for Pimax to offer a hinged headset, that would allow the use of the headphones already included with the kit. That way those that prefer using their own options.

I like the look of the PSVR headset, and having a flip up 8k would be ideal for people that play sims.

Well, I have gotten to the point where I just use voiceattack to launch\close and switch between my main games and BigScreen,

Works swell with the rift, no more peaking or HMD removal.
Last being nice considering I need my glasses in the rift as well as my normal headphones.
So tilting it off my face is a big no-no, and taking it off means first removing headphones then taking the rift off.

Now I just say “launch desktop” and six seconds later I’m staring at the bigscreen rendition of my screen.
