Pimax Crystal Super – The ultimate Retina-level VR headset for simulator enthusiasts

This product is without a Pimax Prime subscription, so there are no monthly costs.

Limited time offer: Free DMAS speakers with the Crystal Super

The Pimax Crystal Super sets a new standard in the world of virtual reality. With an unrivalled resolution of 50 pixels per degree (PPD), this headset achieves Retina-level sharpness in a VR glasses for the first time. This makes it ideally suited for simulator use, where every detail counts - from cockpit instruments to distant horizons.

The 57PPD optical engine provides an even higher PPD, making the pixels appear closer together. This results in better image quality, but is accompanied by a smaller field of view: from 135 degrees (in the standard 50PPD version) to 120 degrees HFOV (Horizontal Field of View). If you value hyper-realistic image display, the 57PPD is an excellent choice.

In addition, the Pimax Crystal Super features advanced eye-tracking technology, applying foveated rendering across multiple zones. This clever technique precisely detects where you are looking and ensures that only that area is rendered in maximum resolution. The result? A more powerful performance, less strain on your system, and a sharper VR experience where it matters.

While the original Pimax Crystal impressed with its modular design, the Crystal Super goes a step further. With a new generation of interchangeable optical engines and optimised cooling and comfort solutions, this headset is ready for the future. This makes the Crystal Super not just an upgrade, but an entirely new platform for high-end VR.
