Hey, just got my kit for the 5k+, I for some reason had a bunch of problems getting it to me... but anyway. What I wanted to add about the strap adapter for the 5k+ is that you snap it on on top of the old strap slot, not by shoving it inside as shown in the video (9:40).
Any idea when they are shipping the actual DMAS? I ordered mine in September, got the 8KX with the SMAS (which sucks - i still use my own headphones) and am still waiting on the DMAS.
It is a mess, that Pimax itself don't give a manual and that there own man made it wrong in a presentation and installation video! I had to find it out by myself.
My big plastic screws don't move when I try to turn them counter clockwise my fingers at 4:50 Edit: I managed to remove them, but it was not easy at all, had to apply some really strong force from with my fingers. Everything works, but I get constant electronic static noise buzzing even when my volume is set to 0%
Does this work with the old face gasket? I already have to bigger comfort kit, because the bigger contact area makes my face sweat more. I wish you could order the new 5k+ with the smaller gasket too.
Is the 5k plus head strap adapter supposed to be a loose fit or should it snap into place. Because of the comfort kit it can’t come out but it is rather loose
I was looking into buying a used 5K plus but apparently I need some costly video card. I already have an i7 CPU chip with 32 gigs of RAM so that's not a issue. but the video card is and they're not cheap for something like this 🙄 What is recommended for a video card for a Pimax 5k +?
OK super cool for the kdmas... I've got Summer today and it's ready to go... I hope it adjust the ultimate problem of the headset with sangle... I've buy à confort kit too and it's very good the form the touch but the material of the mousse is used prematurally... And the hole for the lunettes is too big i hope we find à solution for this
I have just been reimbursed from Pimax after a YEAR waiting my controllers. They just lost me. I still enjoy my 5K+ with Deluxe Audio Strap but I wonder about selling it and go for HP Reverb G2 instead of buying Index controllers. I love the FOV but damn, this company... Sad Reverb G2 is out of stock now.
Hey Martin you still own me reply which you promise me before but till now you still havent get back to me, i was asking about the Cable which i purchase from Official site due to my old cable of 5K+ was fraying and having sparking pixel issue, i alrdy sent 2 to 3 ticket to them all they did was said going sent one to me but till now still no sign of my cable which i purchased on early September and now my 5K+ unuseable, sit at one corner and collecting dust. i cant even try out the New Pimax Experience... as well the MAS i suppose to be getting it as an Early 5K+ Pre-order in 2018 which Pimax also promise to give one to us.. i hope you can help me settle this, Thanks
After months of back and forth I have been promised a backer box, I just had to pay for shipping. I'm also a day 1 preorder customer of 5k+. So yea they will do it, you just gotta push em... Eventually I got Kevin Henderson involved and that did the trick. (before that they offered me a coupon worth everything I was due which was nice as well!)
@@JenoSnetrem wow did you pre-order from late 2018 as well? because mine was not even a backer nor from the kickstarter and they even upgrade your gift to backer package! not bad even i receive this kind privilege i also will pay for the shipping too xD
@@MeisterLewVR Yes! The support can be really nice. One thing that was in my favor though was the fact that I still had a 50$ coupon that never got applied. So that paid for the comfort kit essentially. Still remains to be seen if I'll actually get the box but I don't see why not :). Go ahead and try with support. It might take a long time though :)
@Telepathic Membrane Nope, that's the comparison I'm interested in because those are the sets I'm eyeing. There are plenty of aspects for which the 8KX can be compared to the G2, like clarity, god rays, SDE and color quality to name a few. It's a perfectly viable comparison, especially if you want to decide whether or not the extra FOV is worth the extra cost. I won't go as far as to say that a through-the-lens video would sufficiently depict all the differences, but those type of videos usually come with supplementary qualitative commentary on the differences as well.
@@jrmichel1975 from watching some through the lens videos i noticed the clarity on both headsets is almost the same but with a slight advantage to the pimax 8kx. But of course the Pimax has a larger field of view. Also these videos were on the Hp Reverb G1 not the G2 but the resolution is the same on both. Of course the G2 may have improved optics over the G1 which may be noticeable. The Pimax still seems to be the better option if money is no concern. Also a reviewer complained about the camera based controller tracking being bad on the G2 due to occlusion. The steam base station based tracking doesn't have those problems.
@@DrewSolos thanks for your input on this Andrew. I know that the visuals on the G2 have been improved over the G1 given the new lenses and some other issues they addressed. I currently have a Vive Pro with the knuckles controllers, so tracking for controllers isn't going to be an issue for me. I know there's a video out there that explains how you can use the knuckles controllers with the Reverb G2. That's why for my particular use case, the markup for the 8kx only seems to be about the fov and a resolution bump that may or may not result in considerable difference in image quality. Am I missing something?
@@jrmichel1975 You're welcome! Yeah if you don't care about the bigger fov around 30-50 degrees more (very noticeable improvement especially for sims) then yeah, that's about it for the price increase of about double! Mathematically its not worth it but visually it may be depending on your preference. If you're happy with the vive pro fov then surely youll be happy with the G2! I personally was tired of the binocular vison of old headsets and went with the 8kx. But some won't find the added cost worth it. I have bad 360 degree awareness in games so it helps me in that respect.
SweVive, I have a question: Is the new updated 5K Plus a true 144hz panels? Or is that with brainwarp on? What's the native refresh rate for the 5K Plus?
Hey sweviver i have a problem with 5k+ I pre order in 2019 n give pimax time to get there shit together now they won't send me a new cable to fix my snow pixels can u help

Hi Martin, I had pledged for 2 extra base stations and I did not receive them with my backer box. (2 were sent with my upgrade F) but not extra 2 which were supposed to be sent with this box. What is my best way to go about getting those?
No. Watching other videos I figured out that they're for the case when you change just the speaker (headphone) parts, not the whole back thing with the speakers. I would have done it if KDMAS speakers were available separately, but had to buy the whole thing.
skinny face big nose here. The headset lenses sit directly on my nose atm,. Does this kit prevent that? my nose would change the ipd setting mid game because the lenses were directly on my nose. I have a cheap top head strap from amazon that helps even the pressure and I'm also using a cheap 25mm pleather face pad from amazon. None of this fixed the lens sitting on my nose issue but it made the headset much more comfortable. Pimax 5k+
I had the same problem, the thick foam that comes with the backer box I got, works better in regards to lenses digging in to My nose. but the head strap is to wide and make the speaker cups hover away from My ears and makes it sound tinny, its fine if I bend the strap and push the speakers against my ears.
@@mikejh6551 What was your past setup before getting the comfort kit + strap? Was it the stock pimax unit? Stock pimax unit for my head shape was unbearable. I don't have a weird shaped head either just your usual ectomorph narrow head. I bought a new face cushion the first week and waited a year before the over the head strap. luckily, i don't care much about speakers within VR. I use my surround sound for that. I'm talking more about the strap and comfort kit. I love the headset otherwise.
Same as me. I couldnt use the original strap and face foam so had to get a thick 18mm aftermarket foam and put extra foam around nose. Now with kdmas it's comfy using the pimax supplied thick foam and making sure the strap sits under the back curve of head which takes all weight off the nose area.
I finally got my KDMAS package a week ago. I installed it and I'm glad I read the comments about that top clip. I kept wondering why it was falling out. The hardest part was removing the old face mask plastic. I have been using my Pimax 5K+ with the Vive DAS with 3D printed conversion parts which works well. I'm going to try this KDMAS out for a bit and see if I like it better. I do like the comfort kit a lot and am hoping the thicker face pad will let me finally wear glasses with my Pimax. But the rest of the strap is a bit more bulky compared to the Vive DAS and the KDMAS ear cups don't quite touch my ears (maybe just odd shaped head!). I may just keep the comfort kit and switch the strap back to the Vive DAS.
@@HeadsetHistorian still using the KDMAS on a regular basis and it is working well. Still enjoying my Pimax but looking forward to what 2022 has to offer as far as new headsets.
I installed it a few days ago on my 5K+ with eye-tracking, and damn the facemask is really hard to clip back again on the headset (I already lacerated it to make the eye-tracking cable pass through so it was not the problem). Between that, the audio splitter câble dangling, and the difference in color between the headset and the modular audio strap ... it really gives the impression I have a DIY VR headset made from scrap XD I guess pimax needed some dummies like me to pay for their prototypes -__-'
"dramaticly improve the comfort"?! You overdo "a bit". After you removed the foam, you have realy problems to geht the the foam again in the right position. Wherever you look, you will find a point, where the foam don't sit in the right position. On the top of the comfort kit, it looks always like a kind of... damage, because of the gap between the foam and the plastic. And on the sides, there comes much more light inside now, than ever before, what is really disturbing. AND: The upper headstrap-Adapter is attached wrong! It hast to be plugged in from the top and snaps into place at the back! And not pushed into the hole in the bracket. I think everyone tried this. But that's wrong, because somehow it slips out again, it's just too loose. We would all have wished for a snap-in variant, but Pimax just couldn't do it. So do NOT push it in, but put it on top and click into place at the back. I would even recommend hanging it in the back FIRST and then locking it in at the top! We wanted to see something like the picture behind the link, but Pimax arguably found it better to do worse than better. Take a close look at the strap adapter and you'll know what I mean. It is attached ON TOP of the Pimax, NOT put in the gap! cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/c6/32/00/a8/17/e4eb02e31356e261613cd46bcc07fc06_preview_featured.jpg PS: That you Martin, show it wrong here, show's me only, that you seem not really being into that stuff. Also that you probably lost any word about the screws, which are for the "bigger screes", which hold the parts of the joint together. The only good advice you gave here, to make a loop in the cable to prevent a cable break.
Hey SweViver - thanks for the very clearly filmed and narrated video instructions! I just wanted to ask if the [wait, let me re-check, then I'll edit this comment to ask my question!]
Pimax needs to look at what Quest-2 and Decagear is doing, and do something similar. Unfortunately these Pimax headsets have always been hilariously expensive here in Australia so I'll probably never go near them.
You have a designed a comfort face mask that cannot even support your eye tracking module that say a lot. Not to mention the poor or no installation instruction. I thought by now Pimax would have stepped up. I return my 5K+ both lenses blacked out and which is still under warranty in pristine condition physically and the best Pimax offered me is $250.00 I was interested in the 8KX but have serious concerns now about Pimax.
my lenses blacked out but I did something with pitool and headset software update to fix it. Can't remember how. 5k+, i could have installed pitool software not meant for my headset? who knows but it's fine now.
When do the headsets become available for sale to non-backers? I like the headset and I would buy one, if I thought I was not going to way 1 year for it to turn up.

@@mikejh6551 Have you tried repositioning the back foam? - you can change the angle a bit that way. In some cases you have to apply some force to the hinges to get it to rotate down the first time.
Worst fitting headstrap ever. Why are there 2 layers of foam on the back pieces? That's about 4" thick and useless. Any sim racer will be staring at their crotch because you can't lean your head back against the seat headrest. The gaps on the facemask are huge and let light in because the radius is too large. So you have a small contact point in the front and the back and the entire thing flops around on your head when you play games that have lots of head movement. It was completely unusable. Upon getting the 8kx, I immediately swapped out the ViveDAS strap I had been using on the 5kx.
Me : 1 year ago searching for be VR Headsets. I’m just gonna wait till they hopefully get cheaper. 1 year and a month later finally have enough money. Starts looking at buyer guides sees the HP Reverb G2 🤩 its really Cheap then sees the Pimax 🤩 this ones got high FOV Me : hmm I’m just gonna get this instead of the HP Reverb G2 seems like it’s gonna have a lot more features and the high FOV *heads over to the site* *checks pricing* *jaw Drops down to the floor* *in total shock that it costs more than my gaming rig* Just curious why is this so expensive 😂
Not your greatest video I must confess. - The replacement of DMAS by KDMAS is such a useless use case that I don't really see why it made it in this video, especially as the first use-case. - I suppose you didn't want to remake the video, but it will be pretty annoying for consumers who will try to follow your guide step by step that you show what NOT to do (forgetting to put the cable back) - As some people already reported, that's not how you put the 5K+/8K adapter. You should have notice the adapter isn't secured that way and is pretty loose. - You forgot to show that the protective sleeve should be put before attaching the (K)DMAS (otherwise you should detech the KDMAS again).
@Telepathic Membrane Indeed, SMAS, not DMAS. But, doesn't change that the use case is pretty rare (who would buy a SMAS when their entitled to one within their stretch goals) and didn't justify to spend so much time for this use case (with a "what not to do" in it).
If you don't see it as useful, don't think everybody is like this. It's exactly what I needed (got P8KX with stock DMAS, but wanted better sound quality and isolation, so bought a KDMAS strap). Thanks, Martin! The one other relatively popular video got it all wrong, and yours was perfectly useful.
This is not how you are supposed to install the plastic adapter in the 5K plus and 8K plus. Please rectify the video

You have a designed a comfort face mask that cannot even support your eye tracking module that say a lot. Not to mention the poor or no installation instruction. I thought by now Pimax would have stepped up. I return my 5K+ both lenses blacked out and which is still under warranty in pristine condition physically and the best Pimax offered me is $250.00 I was interested in the 8KX but have serious concerns now about Pimax.
my lenses blacked out but I did something with pitool and headset software update to fix it. Can't remember how.
5k+, i could have installed pitool software not meant for my headset? who knows but it's fine now.
@@anonymous134y I updated Pitoll and the firmware without any resolve my sending back was my last resort.
@@agoodfriend45 that sucks man
When do the headsets become available for sale to non-backers? I like the headset and I would buy one, if I thought I was not going to way 1 year for it to turn up.
i'm not a backer and i bought a pimax 5k xr and it came in less than a month

KDMAS is to wide for me, the cups do not reach My ears and sound tinny, If I press them and bend the strap against my ears its ok though.
Make sure you use the Y adapter and plug into the LEFT audio jack.
@@pimaxusa7161 I did.
@@mikejh6551 Have you tried repositioning the back foam? - you can change the angle a bit that way. In some cases you have to apply some force to the hinges to get it to rotate down the first time.
@@pimaxusa7161 Hi, position is good, but there is a big gap between the cup and My ears, I could do with wider ear cups or a narrower strap.
Here is the full guide (text+visual) @t
Before you buy this make sure that you have a very good pc , and a very good graphics card.
Worst fitting headstrap ever. Why are there 2 layers of foam on the back pieces? That's about 4" thick and useless. Any sim racer will be staring at their crotch because you can't lean your head back against the seat headrest. The gaps on the facemask are huge and let light in because the radius is too large. So you have a small contact point in the front and the back and the entire thing flops around on your head when you play games that have lots of head movement. It was completely unusable. Upon getting the 8kx, I immediately swapped out the ViveDAS strap I had been using on the 5kx.
Pimax hasn't crashed and burned yet?? Shocking.
great!
Me : 1 year ago searching for be VR Headsets. I’m just gonna wait till they hopefully get cheaper.
1 year and a month later finally have enough money. Starts looking at buyer guides sees the HP Reverb G2 🤩 its really Cheap then sees the Pimax 🤩 this ones got high FOV
Me : hmm I’m just gonna get this instead of the HP Reverb G2 seems like it’s gonna have a lot more features and the high FOV
*heads over to the site*
*checks pricing*
*jaw Drops down to the floor*
*in total shock that it costs more than my gaming rig*
Just curious why is this so expensive 😂
Not your greatest video I must confess.
- The replacement of DMAS by KDMAS is such a useless use case that I don't really see why it made it in this video, especially as the first use-case.
- I suppose you didn't want to remake the video, but it will be pretty annoying for consumers who will try to follow your guide step by step that you show what NOT to do (forgetting to put the cable back)
- As some people already reported, that's not how you put the 5K+/8K adapter. You should have notice the adapter isn't secured that way and is pretty loose.
- You forgot to show that the protective sleeve should be put before attaching the (K)DMAS (otherwise you should detech the KDMAS again).
@Telepathic Membrane Indeed, SMAS, not DMAS. But, doesn't change that the use case is pretty rare (who would buy a SMAS when their entitled to one within their stretch goals) and didn't justify to spend so much time for this use case (with a "what not to do" in it).
If you don't see it as useful, don't think everybody is like this. It's exactly what I needed (got P8KX with stock DMAS, but wanted better sound quality and isolation, so bought a KDMAS strap).
Thanks, Martin! The one other relatively popular video got it all wrong, and yours was perfectly useful.
I would get a pimax if their screen was better.
lol dude you destroyed your channel
Pimax is a sick joke of a company
"As a Pimax backer I ordered the full box". As a backer? I thought you were hired and paid by them in some capacity?
Was was hired yes, but before he was hired there he was actually a Kickstarter backer.
