This is a very quick (and raw) first impressions account of the Pimax 8KX VR headset. I've only had it for a day, so I have a lot to sort out, but I wanted to give you these first impressions as an initial take; especially in comparison to my first Pimax experience (the 5K+ back in 2018).
I apologies for the pixelated footage I'm showing here - it can be difficult to capture the VR mirror of this headset due to the wide FOV output, but I'm looking at ways to improve it.
I need to refine settings in how I capture this headset, but I have many videos planned over the next month or so, in order to really show what this headset can do!
