The $400 4K Virtual Reality PC Headset

2017-02-02
what's up youtubers welcome back once again detective tomorrow now we all know that 3d virtual reality that stuff is just taking over the market and some of the headsets out there let's just face it they cost big bucks but today we're going to check out the pi max now the pi max headset is actually under $400 its 4k works with every variety of window 7 8 and 10 you poor Mac bastards you're Sol so what that said though let's jump in and let's check out the pi max 4k 3d headset upon getting the box we open the box up the first thing that we see is that all the parts are pretty much not connected this to me is a kit if you're going to have to assemble more than one things and put a bunch of stuff together that to me is a kit now obviously everything does come in the box that you need but you've got to build the thing so if you want those people out there you don't like building things whatsoever that right off the bat is going to be a caveat that you're going to want to avoid now once you do get the headset put together though it's actually very comfortable one of the things we did know it's sticking on your head is it's got so many doggone pads on it that you can actually wear the thing for hours and it's not going to give you any type of discomfort whatsoever very comfortable that's the one thing about that I'd probably have to say is very very good about it is that it is quite comfortable so if you're watching movies or playing games for a long time well that's going to be something you're going to like as far as the features go let's first talk about 4k because obviously the PI max is pushing that now the pi max features a resolution of 3840 by 2160 with eight point two nine million pixels and 806 pixels per inch and how this works out is it actually works out to each eye cup having a resolution of 1920 by 2160 combine those together you get 4k the pi max headset also adopts a thousand hertz dual gyroscope this helps reduce the Disney effect when playing games the headset also features a 110 degree field of view and dual 53 millimeters at spherical optical lenses and as far as the headset goes the headphones themselves feature a 40 millimeter driver unit with stereo stage and virtual 5.1 sound and as you can see even though they're a bit bulky they're also fully padded for maximum comfort now the only caveat I feel to the resolution however is that only comes across at 60 Hertz so you folks out there 140 bucks and that type of thing this just isn't going to cut it the overall design at the PI max VR headset to me seems a little bit bulky now you guys can see that on top there's just a couple buttons for doing control this is your power and your volume and beyond that it's a pretty much simple design there's a headband going all the way across the top everything is completely padded for comfort and you can also detach the headphones in case you want to try using them as speakers on your desktop how well this will work we'll have to find out now that the headphones have been assembled the very first thing that we had to do was go download the app from a Chinese website now downloading it that didn't seem to be too much of a problem but we try to use anything inside of the app like the movies of the games they could not be opened or downloaded any cost it which is so slow that it became pretty much impossible to do these things getting the driver that wasn't a problem using what's inside of it absolute no-go before I delved into my review I made sure they checked out some other people's reviews just to see how their opinions are and how their experience what the headset was and one of the things I have to say that I saw that we don't agree with whatsoever is a lot of people said that they had problems set up they saw ghosting inside the game and all that kind of stuff we actually experienced none of that whatsoever all the games that we played whether they were steamvr seed jammer 4k any of the games that we played they actually looked completely great we had no problem getting things to line up we had no ghosting whatsoever so I don't know if those problems were just a part of you know some old driver but for our experience everything actually went pretty damn smooth VR movies also look absolutely great so if you're going to use the headset or be our movies alone I think this headset actually stands out that's the one two thumbs up that I give the headset all the way across the board watching VR movies and you know movies are very long so when you're watching something for a really long time like I said previously these things are very very comfortable the PI max is not something you put in your head and go oh my god it's hurting my neck it's bothering me you can leave it on your head for a long time and watching movies is like I said one thing it's very solid I know there are a lot of different 3d games out there a lot of different VR games I don't know how this headsets going to work across the board with everything but from our experience and from what we've seen they do work a lot better than a lot of the reviews that I read online maybe this is due because they've updated the driver and fix things a little better because obviously some of these reviews were from a few months ago so our experience just as far as gaming and watching movies I say this headset works pretty solid the PI max VR headset does look pretty well though and the sound is pretty much compatible to anything else we've seen there now are the visuals as good as the oculus or the HTC vive I have to say absolutely not to me as far as things go the HTC vive is up here on the top but it's also $800 the oculus ripped it's $600 and then you've got these down below $400 so it's pretty much you know every additional $200 you pay you get some more features you know and that's just the way things are but if you're looking for something that's going to be entry-level that you can use play your games with and it's not going to totally break the bank and in fact we've had people come over to the house and they try to virtual reality stuff and they don't really like it that much in fact virtual reality gets some people sick I myself I play for a few hours on no matter any of these headsets I feel really sick geez the Cameron he can play this damn thing all day long as can my son but for me personally I start doing that stuff I don't like it so if you're looking to just you know jump into VR and try it out and find it if you really like it this might be a really good headset for you to start off with now if you know for a fact that you like VR and you want the absolute best setup that you can get I wasn't just saving your money and just get the HTC vive we're going to be working with them very soon and turning an entire room into an HTC vive room will bring you guys that video I think you guys will think it's pretty cool so I'm going to green-screen an entire room the entire room will be covered in green screen and in the middle room will stand and be able to play different VR games and from what I'm reading online and from what people have said this is the ultimate ultimate VR that you can get right now so that's the direction that we're going to go here on teka tomorrow so at the end of the day my opinion I want to like bore you guys are too much stuff on this stuff because I know VR stuff is just what it is at the end of the day if you're going to do entry-level you don't want to break the bank you don't really know what VR is then this might be a great headset for you to get now like usual down below like button will have a link to this product where you can check it out I think I could probably even get gearbest to actually give us a coupon for this but personally I think I'd at least get the oculus if I was really going to buy one but if you want to save money and try this one out for some people it might be the perfect fit hi Mel are you guys been watching Tekken tomorrow we'll see you guys back from the channel because uh we just got Conan going so I'm off to be a frickin barbarian shot
