I would really like to see how the two headsets compare with FOV, motion re-projection, Black levels, overall clarity and FPS in DCS. My main concerns with the VR1 is the "bad boy" version is going to cost more than the xr4 that you just showed us ( especially once you buy controllers, speakers and light houses) and is still going to need going to need you source a head strap. I have a vague awareness of what's involved with product dev and I feel that its too late in the game for them to still be developing a head strap that is going to be of any use. It's going to be hot garbage and now you'll have to source a functional head strap as well. which was never intended for the vr1 so its going to be marginal at best. This thing is going to set you back 5k to get it working. I guess we shall see.

I wish game developers were as enthusiastic about making AAA VR games as the headset manufacturers are on making high end headsets. I have more headsets, 9 going on 10, than games I play consistently whichbis about 4 or 5, MSFS, No Man's Sky VR, GT7 and a couple other novelty games. With that said, 4,000 is a lot, i love my Aero but if I'm psying 4K, I need perfection especially if there are comparable alternatives like the Crystal Light Super. Hoping that headset gets good reviews bc as of right now, that's what I'm mostly considering. Thanks for the video, since i started watching your content, it's your opinion I look out for the most.

Thanks for the review. It's very interesting to hear the local dimming is far better than the Crystal. Do you by chance know how many local dimming zones (mini-LEDs) it has for each display? I didn't see that listed in the specs. It's good to hear they're making progress with the Software. But it's definitely not a good sign to see yet another reviewer who had to return their first headset. Both Bartman's Bits and MRTV also had to return theirs for issues with the display. If Varjo is going to charge $4k for their product, or $10k in Sebastian's case, I don't think it's that unreasonable to expect them to ensure every headset is in pristine working order. Somnium claims they'll be checking every lens plus checking every display panel for dead pixels/mura and calibrating them. If Somnium is doing that with a headset that costs roughly half the price, made in the EU no less, what excuse does Varjo have? Now with that said, Somnium hasn't even opened orders yet so it remains to be seen if they'll actually deliver on those claims. It sounds like Varjo really shouldn't have released the XR-4 in the state it's been in. Pimax did something similar with the Crystal and caught a lot of flak for it, and rightly so. This shouldn't become the norm where customers become beta testers of sorts. If they're going to put out a headset in that type of state the really should go out of their way to ensure customers know what they're getting in to. Between this and leaving some Aero customers feeling short changed, they're really shooting themselves in the foot at the moment. That rant aside, I'm excited to see some through the lens footage of this headset in its full 50 PPD glory with DCS. Even if it ends up a bit of a slideshow it would be great to get a glimpse at the potential this headset holds. And given that the Pimax Crystal Super may use the same display panels as this, it might also help to get a gauge of what potential that headset might have as well, provided Pimax can deliver on those lenses and provide decent stereo (binocular) overlap. I'm also excited to see the final version of the Somnium VR1 get reviewed and see how it stacks up against the XR-4 and Crystal. I don't think they're going to be able to do much about the comfort with the headstrap and face mask in such a short time but I wouldn't mind being wrong on that. With the chromatic aberration problems, perhaps Varjo should consider investing in an implementation of dynamic lens correction. Omniwhatever got to test a trial version of the almalence plugin with the Crystal's wide FOV lenses and he reported that the plugin helped dramatically reduce the chromatic aberration problems of those lenses. I hope Pimax reconsiders adding that. It could help give the Crystal Super a leg up and probably would be a game changer for the 12K whenever that comes out. Between the poor stereo (binocular) overlap reported by others and the quality control issues, the XR-4 doesn't seem to warrant anywhere near $4k. I hope Pimax doesn't screw up the Crystal Super, we'll see.

I mean the 4090 won’t be capable of running 4k VR unless you can benefit from eye tracking. Am I missing something? I think I should just order the crystal light.

I've got a feeling that at the moment there might just be a few too many dependencies on both the application and the pc running this high end piece of kit. Overall absolutely great, no question.. but a lot left on the table in terms of ppd that current apps and consumer hardware is able to run. Its next gen kit for sure but apps and hardware are maybe a gen behind. Not a surprise really given its pedigree and original purpose, but i think the consumer market is still a bit behind for this one at the moment, i think maybe a great purchase in 12-18 months though, i beleive youll get more bang for your buck if you have the means to get the latest hardware (and the apps catch up too)

For the ridiculous money this headset costs it should literally have 'amazing everything' and the fact is that it seems to have a fair amount of issues, especially with the lenses/screens. The Crystal with DMAS is a far better option overall and Varjo failed here at making a headset that caters to businesses and consumers. I do wonder if they will release an Aero 2 equivalent to address this.

Ok so even if I put the Aero back at the $2000 original price, are you really getting an additional $2000 of upgrades with this base XR-4 headset? Seems like not even close to it. Sounds like it’s a premium just to say you have 50ppd and not even close to a rig to even run it. Pass. So far it’s typically the norm for these companies to hand out 1/2 baked samples for reviews. Who’s in charge of a marketing team to even go down that road? It’s a cool little scam these companies all have going. Put out a bleeding edge product that’s no where near ready. By the time you have it dialed in to work and perform the way it should, tech has passed you by and on to the next 1/2 baked product. You are buying a 2nd gen old product by the time it works well. A page out of the Pimax playbook. Where’s that 12K for full trade in value? lol

Hello, did you have to wait a long time for another unit? I have a Varjo Steam Edition and it has USBC problems in the headset itself. They sent a new cable, but the error persists in the unit where you plug your cable into the glasses themselves. Unfortunately this is my second headset with a bug. the first was overheating problems, I am now waiting for an answer and I trust that they will provide good service, at least I hope so. You would think for such an expensive device that there would be no problem with it, in short, I now have to wait and hope that they will answer and send me a new one.

I'm not the best person to ask in this case since Varjo sent me a second one very quickly to help prepare my video. I really sincerely hope you get a response from them soon though, this is a big investment and you shouldn't have to experience these kinds of issues.

Varjo…... On one side, I love the company, always pushing the limits of super high end VR, way better that any competitor, not that Varjo have many in the business space….. On the other hand, the Aero is still unfinished and they have basically dropped development of the Aero and in doing so all the fixes the Aero needs to finish it of (red shift, blur when moving your head, local dimming.. to name the issues I have with it. All these issues should have been fixed by now, but I guess the consumer market is a very small amount of their turnover and a huge headache for them (they’ve had some major criticism on the discord server) they have instead used that time to develop the XR4. Many would never buy a consumer Varjo headset again after the price cut then pull the product shenanigans of the Aero. Id have reservations about buying a Varjo headset again because I just don’t feel confident they can resolve some of the issues that they still have with the Varjo base. It’s a real shame as I think they have done their reputation quite a lot of damage. It will take some time for consumers to trust Varjo again, not that the average Joe can afford an XR4, but if they were to release an Aero 2 at a sensible price point, I really doubt the pre-order level would be the same as the Aero. Ive recently purchased The Big Screen Beyond, it’s a great little headset, its not perfect but it fixes all the issues I had with the Aero with the added bonus of amazing OLED panels. The only downside is the glare. No headset is perfect, the search for the perfect headset continues.

That screen shaking/vibration is pretty bad, and is going to make a lot of people sick. External tracking would have solved this.

I wouldn't give Varjo a penny of my money ever again after first destroying the aftermarket value by cutting the headset price in half they then completely destroyed it by discontinuing the headset nothing more than a money grabbing company as far as the gaming community should be concerned

The Pimax Crystal Super may use the same display panels as this and its price is $1800. That's probably about as good as you're going to get.
