@voodoodevr-en Hello, having used the BSB and now the VR1, do you feel more immersed in the BSB because of its Oled colors? which headset felt more immersive to you of the 2? thanks!

[@Andre-fv6sx]

@voodoodevr-en, thank you so much for taking the time during your vacation to checkout the VR1. I've been following the VR1 development from day one and I plan to purchase the fully loaded model. I truly. appreciate your honest opinion about the VR1 and I look forward to more feedback from you on the VR1. Enjoy your vacation.

[@voodoodevr-en]

Thank you!

[@chadef555]

Hey. Great video. It was really nice of you to use your personal time to test this out and give us your feedback. I'm glad to see that Arthur was able to arrange time for you coming there on a short notice. It's amazing to hear that Somnium's team improved VR1 so much. I hope the production ramps up smoothly and quickly and we'll see VR1 in our hands as soon as possible.

[@artursychov]

Thank you

[@ronm6585]

Looks pretty good. Thanks Thomas.

[@svartization8437]

Nice feedback! Did you notice any difference in comfort between the standard unit (with ET) and the full version (including HT/MR) regarding the extra weight of the full version?

[@voodoodevr-en]

not really

[@mikewright2858]

When will this actually be available? According to the only timeline I can find, it should be already but obviously, it is not. I've decided that this is likely my next headset to move up from the Varjo Aero, but just can't find much information.

[@SJkopa]

In VOODOO DE, the sound of laughter represents the quality of the product.

[@everburn.online]

That's awesome I can't Wait

[@everburn.online]

Plus I love BeatSaber and I looks great!

[@kevinwinters4803]

Seems the side straps without integrated audio force you to use in ear buds, not over the ear headphones 😢

[@victormaniaci2104]

The CEO has been using it with over-ear headphones no problem. He has posted plenty of picture of it working.

[@RigidAudio]

oh... :/ yeah. my plan was to use my beloved beyerdynamic studio headphones. hmmm... let's see.

[@EldenOfOrthal]

@@RigidAudio Had the same thought. Then I realized he's got the back ridiculously low on his head. So low in fact that the pads don't sit right on him. The strap mounting points look to be identical to what's on my index and my bd770s fit just fine with that so... fingers crossed?

[@RigidAudio]

@@EldenOfOrthal ahh, yes, you could be right here. fingers crossed!

[@LimitlessHorizonVRSimrigs]

Well spotted, that was my biggest concern watching this video.

[@kajrosenqvist9165]

There is on big elepfant in the room... Great visuals or not, this cant be comfortable very long periods. I would really like to see more lighter headset like bsb.

[@artursychov]

Perhaps that elephant is just in your room ;)

[@wittyname-sy5je]

@voodoodevr-en Thank you for the update. I've been watching this headset since Steve (VR Flight Sim Guy) claimed the visuals (sharpness/clarity) exceeded even the Pimax Crystal and posted that through the lense video. Was that your experience as well or did it look roughly the same? Since you tried a version with only eye tracking, I'm curious to know how that compared to the fully equipped transparent one in terms of how it felt on your head and moving it around with how far it sticks out from your face. How does the inertia of the two versions compare to the Crystal with all its bulk? Good to hear the comfort improved over the Crystal. Looking forward to seeing the final version get reviewed.

[@chrisbent5734]

Damn, your english has gotten a lot better!

[@davidesterza6971]

ma che è un binocolo?

[@jonr6472]

Just watched the crystal light review and it weighs over 100g more than the base model of the VR1...and people were saying this was a fat headset. Pimax marketing at it again

[@dtz1000]

That's because the strap on this is insufficient and it has no speakers. Add a proper strap and speakers then weigh it again.

[@andreskinsella1317]

Almost 2K Euros ...yikes!

[@kecimalah]

Without tax

[@dogadarko3783]

3:45 be carefull on your nose right side is in danger :)

[@TJM-2023]

Yeah, after using my Quest 3 on wireless I just won't be able to return to a wired headset... like ever again.

[@wajdi1977]

This thing seems to be more bulky than the Crystal Pimax . No way better can wear this than 30min!

[@killdano]

The headset is 6 month late to be finalized. Even 3 weeks ago they said the would open orders in 3 weeks, which didn't happen. These ppl at somnium are liars and will never release the headset. I ordered a Crystal light.

[@vyacheslav_potapenko]

lol you client of 600usd headset, not 2K headset

[@Directx11cool]

Hm, I'm still waiting for Pimax 12K... 2 years already? So you ordered Pimax and are talking about 6 month late or 3 weeks. Quite funny to read. Btw I have a Pimax 8KX and a Quest 3. So I know Pimax and just tired it's shitty software and lies about the fov in the crystal.

[@exdorms]

Pimax keyboard division is at it again

[@L_Emir_de_Passy]

who cares if they are late if that means the headset has less problems? if you bought a crystal light, you are not a potential customer for that headset so you are just trying to do purchase validation for your HMD.

[@dtz1000]

It was supposed to be delivered in Q4 2022, so it's a lot more than 6 months late.

[@ADAMAT1C]

I wouldn't trust anything from the company that was selling virtual land

[@vyacheslav_potapenko]

how it related with the fact that VR1 headset created by leading F16 simulator creator?

[@artursychov]

@@vyacheslav_potapenko If you guys do not understand what blockchain is, and how digital ownership works, does not mean that it is something bad. We were, are and will use blockchain as an underlying technology for all in-game VR transactions to let users own their digital items, rather then us dictate everything. And yes, VR1 is a real product which is built by us and VRgineers.

[@drmikehuntphd7905]

​@@artursychov Virtual land is an absolute joke and no amount of "you guys do not understand what blockchain is" will change that. I actually didn't care about that prior but this comment has put me off of your products.

[@exdorms]

⁠@@drmikehuntphd7905then explains us what exactly is wrong with “virtual land” and blockchain with some facts

[@L_Emir_de_Passy]

But you are trusting Pimax? or Facebook? How important is it what Somnium sells as long as VR1 delivers?

[@SJkopa]

This product failed on price. It's better to buy Pimax cristal super than this

[@upload00]

the super isn't out though

[@SJkopa]

@@upload00 Super is too expensive, $2300 I need a super PC to use this

[@SJkopa]

Somnium VR1 is likely to be the worst VR product of the year...

[@dtz1000]

Worst value for sure.
