Summary
Pimax introduced the Crystal Pro as a wireless-first PC VR headset that starts at $1,399, with reservations open now and shipping slated for 2027.
The headline feature is Native Foveated Streaming: with the optional third-generation 60G AirLink kit, Pimax says the headset sends the user’s focus area without video encoding, using eye tracking and a 60GHz 2x2 MIMO link.
Pimax claims that setup delivers up to 6 Gbps throughput, under 2 milliseconds of added latency, and an effective 2880 x 2880 pixels per eye at up to 90Hz in the focus area, though it requires same-room use.
The headset uses QLED panels at 2880 x 2880 per eye, 110-degree horizontal field of view, Mini-LED local dimming with 576 zones per eye, and 72, 90, or 120Hz refresh rates—the 120Hz mode needs an optional wired DisplayPort cable.
A $1,899 bundle adds the 60G kit, while the standalone kit costs $599; Pimax also moved the battery off the headset into a 16,000mAh external pack and has not yet disclosed the headset’s weight.
