Pimax Crystal - status, updates and fixes (Part 2)

The DMAS is no longer free. But you can still use the coupon code cryspre100 for €92 off.

Im not interested in the DMAS I will use my own headphones. Im just worried about the weight. Pretty much the only thing i don’t like about the 8kx.

Praydog’s RE4 VR mod on Crystal. Beatsaber Controller tracking in 2nd video. Are you on same FWes and Client? Also reviews some Auto Ipd so has access to bets.

If you turn the screen off it will charge faster. I just got my replacement Crystal last week, and I have yet to swap batteries. I run a usb-c cord from my usb hub to the port on the right side of the Crystal and it seems to work pretty well.

Why did you need a replacement?

Some of the test units had issues with ET. @jamejame also had to wait on a replacement/final unit. Imagine she is happy now as she reported her replacement arrived.

All beta testers received a pre-retail unit, so everyone will be swapping their headsets out for a retail unit at some point.

Do Beta Testers get to keep the Crystal free of charge after Beta testing?

Nope, far as I know they paid for it.

Yeah unless you’re a YouTuber who get them on loan.

So how long does the battery last in stand-alone mode?
Is WiFi 6e enabled for PCVR streaming?
How long does the battery last in streaming mode?

Yeah the PCVR streaming is about the only thing interesting to me other than a video player. They’ve talked before about not releasing standalone mode because they don’t have the app ecosystem ready but I bet 99% of us don’t care about the app ecosystem and just want PCVR streaming

Yeah what’s stopping Pimax turning on WiFi?

No, the beta testers are paying customers. We just got the headsets a bit earlier and get to test software in advance and provide feedback.

Are you considering buying a crystal?

No. The Pico4 is doing a great job tiding me over until a worthy successor comes along.

I recently discovered the Pico4s hand tracking.

I would say the Pico4 is the best all round headset you can buy now. Yes Crystal will beat it for clarity but I’m not a simmer. I’m a Population One player and the Pico4 does a great job wired or wireless.

I probably won’t buy the BSB either which leaves the VR1. But I think when it comes down to it I’ll probably wait till the Index2 comes along.

STANDALONE MODE / STREAMING:

Yeah, I’m interested in knowing more about both.
Especially the WIFI6 and WiGiG.

FACEPLATES:
MR Color Faceplate? When $$?

ISSUES:
Root Cause and Resolution of (in particular) the left display issues, orange dots, etc…
Controller accuracy improvements and how does it now fair with Beatsabre on a more ‘Competitive’ standing?
