Pimax Unveils Micro-OLED VR Headsets with Wide FOV

Pimax has officially unveiled its latest trio of VR headsets—Dream Air SE, Dream Air, and Crystal Super Micro-OLED—marking a bold step in bringing Micro-OLED and pancake optics into real-world consumer devices. This announcement positions Pimax as the first VR brand to commercialize Micro-OLED headsets at scale, solving challenges in heat management, resolution scaling, and optical clarity.

Micro-OLED Breakthrough in VR

The shift to Micro-OLED displays brings ultra-high pixel density, near-infinite contrast, and deeper blacks than traditional LCD or OLED VR panels. Historically, these displays have been limited to prototypes due to technical hurdles. By using its proprietary ConcaveView optics, Pimax ensures better heat control, sharper visuals, and wider fields of view—turning what was once experimental into accessible hardware.

Dream Air SE: Lightweight Power

The Dream Air SE is a compact all-in-one headset weighing less than 140 g. It delivers 5K visuals (2560 × 2560 per eye), Tobii eye-tracking, and dynamic foveated rendering for optimized GPU performance. With 6DOF SLAM tracking and built-in spatial audio, it’s designed for gamers and creators who want high-end VR in a portable form factor. At $899, it makes Micro-OLED VR more approachable than ever.

Dream Air: Smallest Full-Feature 8K VR

Stepping up, the Dream Air delivers an 8K experience in a package weighing under 170 g. It pushes 3840 × 3552 resolution per eye, totaling over 27 million pixels. Combined with a 110° horizontal and 120°+ diagonal field of view, this headset balances compactness with uncompromising clarity. Optimized stereo overlap enhances immersion, making it a strong contender for users seeking both mobility and fidelity.

Crystal Super Micro-OLED: The Flagship

At the top of the lineup, the Crystal Super Micro-OLED is built for enthusiasts and simulation professionals. With 116° horizontal and 128°+ diagonal FOV, it offers the widest field of view on any Micro-OLED headset. As part of the modular Crystal ecosystem, it supports interchangeable optical engines, from ultrawide to 57 PPD clarity modes, giving users the flexibility to prioritize immersion or sharpness depending on their needs.

Pre-orders for all three headsets are open now, with shipments beginning later this year. Early adopters receive perks like prescription lens frames and a free copy of Le Mans Ultimate. With these releases, Pimax redefines VR by proving Micro-OLED is no longer a lab experiment—it’s a consumer-ready reality, with availability and pricing already confirmed.
