With our newly designed Vision comfort kit (Which includes a face cowling, nose guard and soft face foam), allowing even the most demanding VR enthusiasts to enjoy hours and hours of comfortable VR sessions.

  • Please note - If you are a GTX 3090Ti user, you may need to purchase an additional DisplyPort Reapter on Amazon or a separate Pimax 6m DP cable to use the Pimax VR Headset properly due to the new changes in the signal output method of this graphics card.
