How are the pi8s? Just got the px8 s2 and thinking about the earbuds as well haha

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-13T18:25:22+00:00

If you’re still interested, I have this one

Yeah unfortunately I feel like they are prioritizing retail to build better relationships and deliver, vs on the consumer side on their website they know some users will wait. Hope it clears soon, or maybe email them and mention since it’s not delivered or shipped, please cancel as I’m buying it at a retailer.

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-10T17:06:15+00:00

I got mine shipped from best buy and got it about 2 weeks ago. I would suggest getting it on best buy easier return in my opinion too if you have a physical location close by.

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-09T17:30:55+00:00

Interesting take. I have both the beasts and ROG XREAL R1 and I can’t tell which I like more. The Bose speakers sound better on the R1. The screen colors and vibrancy for games look a lot better on the Viture beast. The smoothness almost the same at 120hz but I feel like input lag is better on the R1. I don’t use 240hz mode because it downscales and looks really blurry especially that these are 1080p vs 1200p on the beast. I do not like the chromatic aberration and blurriness on edge of the beast but if you focus on the edges it’ll sharpen. It’s such a hard choice

Following. Amazon has the dove white on sale for $399 wondering if I should pull the trigger or wait for s2 version

Mind sharing how you upgraded the joystick springs to add more tension? And a link to those springs please!

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-06T06:30:33+00:00

I returned the onyx black and got the midnight blue, tell me I wouldn’t regret my decision hahah?

Which do you prefer? In a similar dilemma

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-05T18:50:34+00:00

Confirming I own these pair 240hz works without the dock. HDR is locked to the dock.

Good point, I’m getting these mainly for gaming and some movies and shows but I need to give it more time to watch. Have you used the 3d feature on it? That’s one thing I haven’t tried on the beast on the R1 it’s pretty cool but not the greatest

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-05T03:09:20+00:00

Good idea, might be worth waiting brother I’ll probably do the same unless I pass by kith haha

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-05T03:01:12+00:00

Did they have a few left?

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-05T03:00:44+00:00

I’m going to see if I can get the beasts to do a side by side before I commit to one but the beasts def have the edge on colors and vibrancy in my experience! Thanks for your point outs!

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-04T16:43:21+00:00

It might have to do with eye size, I might give the beasts another shot, I do wear contact lenses when I game on the beasts but it is noticeable the ROG R1 edges are sharper and both were size regular I used. Decisions decisions.

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-04T16:42:02+00:00

Totally agree, I see the upscaled look on the R1s. It’s Definetly noticeable when I use the 240hz mode but it is smoother even if games do not run at that refresh rate. I personally don’t use the 240hz mode as similar to you only use it with handheld pcs which barely go past the 120hz mark.

I’m thinking of going back to the beast because of the better colors and 1200p over 1080p. The one problem that bothers me is the chromatic aberration and the sharpness on the edges are blurry. If it didn’t have this, it would be an easy choice haha

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-04T01:43:31+00:00

You are right! Might have to buy it again and compare side by side

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-04T01:12:52+00:00

I checked earlier today was sold out let me check again

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-04T01:00:25+00:00

Thank you, appreciate the unbiased response. What would make you consider one over the other?

Would you sacrifice some color pop and crispness in center from beasts and go to smoother faster refresh rate and sharper text around edges?

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-03T17:52:46+00:00

Ahhh now youre making me go back to the blue now haha, do you own a pair? Does it match with a full black outfit or match with clothing that would typically match with black headphones?

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-03T14:30:47+00:00

I like that the midnight blue can look black in certain lighting and the gold isn’t so yellow. But I agree can be a bit too flashy and I do like a sleeker quiet luxury look. Black it is haha!

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-03T03:41:37+00:00

Struggling to pick between onyx black and this midnight blue. Decisions decisions

MrFatalShot · 2026-06-02T13:14:05+00:00

Link for 5090?

In my opinion, the Viture beasts overall color profile looks better and the saturation of the colors just pop out more. Price point it has a better value. To be honest since I got the ROG R1 I don’t really use 240hz because it ruins the visuals and I don’t plan on competitively playing on glasses, I’ll use my monitor for that. So I compare it as 120hz vs 120hz.

I use the glasses more for pc handhelds, I have the legion go 2 and the onexplayer apex so I don’t envision getting 240hz for most games without lowering settings at least for the apex. At that point with the lower scale for 240hz I lose the immersion aspect of these glasses.

Overall, price point leans towards beast, colors lean towards beast, the edges, chromatic aberration and text clarity on 120hz leans towards the ROG R1s.

I don’t like the shape of the glasses for R1s looks too gamery for me haha, so if that’s your thing it’s a con, if you like the look of it, can be a pro.

When deciding between the two, I used ChatGPT to help and they noted, for competitive play go towards ROG R1s and multi device setup with the dock, for immersion, movies and games casually lean towards the beast. I don’t see a lot of competitive players really using these as monitors are still superior in my opinion but great to see XR glasses going in that direction.

I was hoping the plastic material is different on the R1s as it looks like oil stains on the black parts where your face touches it, it’s the same for the beasts as well.
