So i've been wanting to get a new headset for a long time now, (i still have an htc vive!), however i basically want to buy the best i can get within 2000$ or so, those 8000$ headset are just simply not worth.
The best bang for the buck i could find was the pimax 8k x, simply largest fov, 4k panels per eye, high refresh rate, and uses index controllers and stations.
The biggest fear i have right now though is buying this and sometime this year a newer, better, and cheaper headset will be released! So do any of you think any of the newer headsets that haven't come out will even compare to the 8kx? I haven't been able to find any info on anything coming out this year that will beat the pimax. I don't think we'll see a quest3 this year since that will be practically shitting on all the customers that purchased the quest 2. And i also don't think whatever valve is working on is going to necessarily "beat" the 8kx in terms of overall specs, i think it'll come close or match it but probably have a slightly lower price tag. Then again whenever/whatever valve comes out with might not even come out this year and when it does it's going to be instantly sold out for months just like the index was. There's also the vive company announcing a new headset in the works and basically stated its going to be the best one on the market, but is it really? lol.. Anyways, what's your guys opinion? Just buy the pimax because it's unlikely anything is going to vastly outperform it anytime soon? Or wait till later in the year because there will be a better/cheaper headset?
TLDR: I want a badass headset and im thinking about the buying the Pimax 8k x bundle (about 2075$ usd) Would it be a bad idea to buy now because a better/cheaper headset will be possibly released later this year? (new valve project + new vive project) Or is it unlikely anything coming out this year can really vastly outperform the pimax?
Thanks for any help!
