Does the Crystal Pro work without Lighthouse base stations?

Yes. It ships with Pimax Ringed SLAM controllers and tracks inside-out by default. Lighthouse tracking is an option through the swappable faceplate for those who already own base stations.

Do I need the DisplayPort cable?

Only if you want the wired 120 Hz mode. The cable is optional and not included in either bundle. Wireless Wi-Fi streaming works without it.

What does the 60G AirLink bundle add?

It adds two headset antennas, two room antennas that act as transmitter and receiver, and two USB-C cables. The headset, controllers, battery and Wi-Fi dongle are the same as the headset-only option.

Is the battery inside the headset?

No. The external battery is worn in your pocket and connects to the headset, which keeps weight off your head.

Hands-on demos are planned for Q4 2026, with shipping starting in 2027. The reservation deposit is non-refundable.

Can I use it without a PC?

No. It is a PC VR headset, so it needs a VR-ready computer for both the wired and wireless modes.

Our take on the Pimax Crystal Pro

The Pimax Crystal Pro is a PC VR headset that streams wirelessly over Wi-Fi out of the box and runs at up to 120 Hz over a wired DisplayPort connection. A swappable faceplate adds SteamVR Lighthouse tracking alongside its inside-out SLAM tracking, and the battery sits in your pocket rather than on the headset. It is aimed at PC VR enthusiasts who want high refresh rates and flexible tracking, and it competes with other high-end PC headsets on refresh rate and tracking options rather than on standalone use. It is a pre-launch product, so real-world comfort, optics and wireless latency are still unproven.
