Brilliant High Resolution Headset
I bought this for simracing/driving as an upgrade to my old Oculus headset because I wanted something with high resolution and PPD. After much research on headsets, I landed on this because it had the best balance of features/price.
After using it regularly for about a month I can confidently say it delivers on everything it promises.
The good:
The resolution is a game changer for sim games because you can read dials and messages on vehicle screens that you can't read with other headsets.
It has a large sharpness sweet spot that means you don't have to constantly adjust it on your head to be sharp
The speakers are surprisingly good despite aiming down at your ears from the side strap rather than sitting on your ears. Although this does mean you can hear everything going on around you, so if you plan on using it in a noisy environment, it may be hard to hear gameplay.
The built-in tracking does a good job tracking, but can sometimes be skewed or be in completely the wrong place (but this is minimal), although recentering the headset fixes this with no issues.
It's extremely comfortable to use, even for long periods of time (4+hours).
The adjustable rear pad is a nice touch and makes adjusting to your head as well as putting on/taking off size nice and easy.
The bad:
The PimaxPlay app was somewhat fiddly to get set up correctly, but once it's set up, all you have to do is launch it before you start a game and it works with no issues.
The controllers and headset feel a bit…
