Pimax 8K Virtual Reality Headset

This one actually looks promising and is even compatible with the Vive lighthouse base units. Some decent reviews here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93Fd8atublU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuVWs9IZIvk

Could be good. But reminds me of a Cylon.

The FOV on this thing will be amazing, would love to try it.

Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means

The Pimax 4K was a load of crap, and early reviews praised that as well. Worst purchase ever, totally and utterly inferior to Oculus/Vive in every possible way despite the technically better screen quality and lessened screen door effect.

Somehow I trust both reviews of the 8K, I doubt it’s as bad as they 4K was.

Has anyone bought/used one of these? What's it like compared to an Oculus Rift?
