I get we’re missing an exact and clear statement here, and what started all this has yet to be cleared up fully and officially. But I’m far from your line of thinking.
So there is a MAS and a DMAS but I can’t conclude from this that if you want deluxe on an existing MAS as stated in the vid you can buy for $99 but you’re thinking you have to clip them on instead in some hybrid way because the MAS doesn’t support the deluxe headphones?
And for what reason? your line of thinking suggests they are having to make 2 versions of MAS which would be ridiculous, inefficient and not follow what was originally said.
The main question has mainly been if they will offer them as an addon to the MAS. I’m satisfied this is likely. But certainly, a confirmed statement would probably be welcome to many considering the imminent end of the upgrade plans and equally imminent delivery of MAS in stretch goals for backers.
My personal question is if this is an addon for $99. Why do pimax keep telling people if they order the deluxe MAS they will have to wait for it. From what’s said people are paying the same $99 extra so surely they should get the MAS and then the deluxe addon? Not just deluxe only? Will the deluxe MAS include the over ear speakers in the box to swap back to? the value one way doesn’t add up.
EDIT: After re-checking I realise you might be saying the option is for $99 deluxe audio headphones to only be able to clip onto the deluxe mas (that already has the headphones)? if so… wtf are you smoking???
On the basis the Standard MAS has been said to have 2 audio jack inputs (and the headset has 2 female inputs when bought with Standard MAS),
and the deluxe MAS only will have 1 audio input on the MAS and one female input on the headset.
These facts, along with swevivers additional comments he made in the MAS review video at CES, lead me to believe that the Deluxe MAS will have a cable running internally around the back of the head on the inside of the deluxe mas to connect each deluxe earphone together.
Due to the fact the standard MAS does not have this cable on the interior of the back end of the standard MAS near the counterweight, you can infer that there is a likelihood that the deluxe headphones will only be compatible with the deluxe mas.
You know I did make this reasoning very clear in my above posts, so I could ask you the same question about what substances you’ve been smoking, since you lacked the capacity to interpret my above posts which carry the same message
ok… so I’ll leave you to carry on… if you believe there is an option to add a deluxe headphone for $99 to a deluxe mas… then either you’re trolling or well I’ve no idea.
I never said that. I only said that each MAS is likely not as modular as we have been initially told. Which means Deluxe earphones may only be compatible with deluxe mas.
I said the contrary to what you interpreted, that the standard MAS may not be compatible with the deluxe earphones. Obviously the deluxe earphones will come with the deluxe MAS, I never said they wouldn’t.
I call it the exact same thing I’ve been saying to you just worded differently. You obviously have a problem interpreting what I’m saying because I never said that the deluxe earphones would not come with the deluxe mas, or that they would be incompatible with the deluxe mas.
Because we haven’t gotten explicit confirmation the deluxe earphones will be sold for $99 extra and they can clip onto the standard mas;
Sweviver could have meant the deluxe mas is $99 extra compared to the standard MAS and it comes with the deluxe earphones.
Why would they sell an addon for the standard mas that’s incompatible with the standard mas? I’ve no idea what you’re saying here now so yes I do have a problem interpreting this! And I didnt say you said they would be incompatible with the deluxe mas?
Each speaker type may not be compatible with the different mas type (deluxe earphones may not work with standard mas), thats all I’ve been trying to say. Going off swevivers comments in his mas review video.
Same here. I’m not going to entertain this further with you. I hope I’m wrong about that, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Didn’t sweviver said that the deluxe MAS would have wiring along the back to connect the two deluxe headphones and there would just be one audio cable, whereas the standard mas has two seperate audio cables for each speaker and no cable along the back which is why deluxe earphones might only work on deluxe mas and not standard mas?
@PimaxQuorra, when talking to the team, can you please get info if the drivers (be it MAS or DAS) are detacheable at all and what wouldl be involved?
As everybody I understood the "M2 stands for modular hance you can also remove it completely. I already had the DAS in my basket for upgrading to 8KX but I really prefer to wear my Beyers when in VR at home, the DAS was only intended as “party mode” solution but wouldl be in the way 99% if not removable…
I took the thing with the single-plug-with-cable-going-around-the-back audio option SKUs to be a legacy product, for existing 8k and 5k+ (…and maybe Artisan?) units, that do not have two jacks.
Since the Vision series has these two audio jacks, I think they would be compatible with Oculus Quest In-Ear Headphones which are two separate earphones that are 3.5mm. These earphones are almost as good as the Valve Index speakers. I wonder if they would work well on Pimax too.
I’m confused, #??%. It makes absolutely no sense calling it the MAS “Modular Audio Strap” If the damn thing isn’t freaking modular !!! If you can’t switch between the different headphones, what makes it Modular? Can some one from Pimax answer this please.
