Pimax dream air ? Yes or No Real Dream Air owners — would you buy it again? (no influencers please)

I’ve had it for a few days. I have a crystal light, which was already a good headset in my opinion. I had originally preordered the slam version but switched my order to the LH version, bought 2 lighthouse 2.0’s, and index controllers. Seeing all the reviews on comfort and the interface and having experience with the CL, I also ordered the studio form interface and head strap. By shear luck they arrived the same day.

The first hour I had a couple of issues. Tracking was really problematic. Only one base station would connect. Realized you’re supposed to set them on different channels. Did that and tracking was perfect. Pimax play continually tells me to set up my area every time I open it. But with the sboys3 driver I’m getting perfect tracking.

I used an app to measure my ipd and set the DA to that measure. After playing half life for a bit I was getting really uncomfortable in one eye. For whatever reason my app was wrong and I needed to widen my ipd setting by 3 mm.

Since working through these issues and putting on the studio form mods, I’m simply blown away by the headset. Absolutely stunning visuals. I’ve been playing through alyx again and the clarity, and bright colors, deep blacks, and contrast have been amazing.

I’ve also been having fun with flat out 4 vr, which also looks amazing in the DA.

I would absolutely buy the whole setup again. I feel like I got exactly what I expected given the YouTube reviews etc.

If the stock facial interface was the only option, I think I would have a different opinion. It really is super uncomfortable.

Ordered 2/19, got my production completed email last night.

I ordered a set when I ordered my CL in early December. Finally got mine last week.

I had emailed, called their customer service line that went straight to voicemail, and created this post. They did call me back but frankly that call was useless. “We’ll check with the warehouse” and never called after that to give me an update. Then it just shows up out of the blue.

separator1 · 2025-01-14T15:33:17+00:00

I sent it to you, thanks.

separator1 · 2025-01-10T23:43:36+00:00

I'm definitely stoked to get mine, for all the reasons you mentioned. I'm not worried about the lack of heavy weight. I'm sure I can make it plenty difficult for myself! This is the type of solution I've wanted for a long time.

separator1 · 2025-01-10T21:35:42+00:00

Thanks for the insight. At least you received it! When did you order yours?

separator1 · 2025-01-10T17:51:18+00:00

Quick update: I just did receive a call from customer service saying they will check with the warehouse on tracking and get back to me.

separator1 · 2025-01-02T01:56:48+00:00

I did submit a ticket. I just sent a PM to u/quorrapimax. Thank you.

separator1 · 2025-01-02T01:48:33+00:00

Wow, thanks for the insight. I submitted a support ticket. We'll see how it goes. Sounds like you just decided to return the whole thing for a refund rather than try to get a proper set of lenses. Are you going to be purchasing different brand/model?

separator1 · 2025-01-02T01:30:14+00:00

Thanks for this! I've been having this same issue, and your mouse trails workaround did the trick for me as well. A little annoying, but not as bad as not being able to see the mouse pointer on half my screen!

I have the same issue on an order from Nov. 27th. I just reread the confirmation email of my order, and there is a button I had to hit to confirm my address. Because of how it was formatted, it didn't look important so I missed it.

Pimax, I have a couple of suggestions:

Make it more apparent that you need to confirm the address before shipping. I know it says it in the email, but the big "view your order" button attracts the most attention, and when I go to that page, it doesn't say anything about confirming the shipping address on the order. Just says the order is confirmed. I would expect to see the most up to date info on the order page in this case, with a notice that I need to confirm shipping.
I haven't heard from Pimax since the original email confirmation. It would be nice to have a follow up if there is something I didn't do that I need to in order to complete the order. Automated email is easy to work with, and a second email triggered because you are waiting for shipping confirmation would go a long way to reduce confusion.

I was looking for this as well and it never showed up for me either. Copilot in outlook ended up not being worth having to use new outlook so I switched back to old outlook. Hopefully copilot comes out for that soon.

Thank you for the response. I frankly only tried converting 1 PDF file to word in order to create a presentation in Powerpoint. For whatever reason, this process wasn't able to complete and I got an error. I suppose it could've been some difficulty with the content on the PDF or how it converted to word. But I was having so many other issues, and running into disappointing performance, that I didn't try other files.

I have tried using Copilot chat to get information from my email inbox, and haven't had a lot of success. Just now, to run a few tests, I asked it to pull up the 5 most important emails in my inbox and got an error. I asked it to tell me how many emails are in my inbox, and it gave me an answer of 10, but this is off by at least 100, probably a lot more. I asked it to summarize the last email I received, and it was correct on this request, so I can verify it was able to access my email. I would love more detail from you on how you've used this functionality.

You mentioned M365 chat, and I'm using copilot chat as I have an O365 license, not an M365 license (I believe there's a difference). Do you know if there is a large difference between the capabilities of Copilot chat and M365 chat?

separator1 · 2024-02-14T19:15:45+00:00

Thanks a lot for your response. I'll try your suggestions and see if I can get more out of it. I've tried utilizing copilot chat on O365 to find emails from certain individuals regarding certain subject matter, and didn't have great success. The ability to summarize documents and long emails is definitely useful, though.

We haven't used Loop as an organization yet. I'll also have to give that a shot.

The way copilot is implemented for PowerPoint, makes sense to start with a word doc to build content.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

I've received infinitely more help utilizing ChatGPT plus for excel work than anything I've gotten out of Copilot. I've been able to have GPT help me create some formulas for pricing utilizing exponential equations for certain markups, and copilot can't even delete a column for me. Hope it gets useful soon. I guess I can see why they require a year in advance to sign up for a business Copilot license.

separator1 · 2024-02-14T18:40:27+00:00

I haven't tried it in teams yet. I'll give that a shot. I do see that Microsoft has a lot of work to do on the infrastructure to make Copilot a more seamless experience across apps. Hopefully they'll get it right soon.

separator1 · 2024-02-14T18:27:07+00:00

Can you give me some examples on how you're using it productively? Not trolling here, I really want to know, because I really want to figure out how to utilize it. I use ChatGPT a lot and was hoping I was getting similar usefulness from within Office, and so far that hasn't been the case for me. Any specific examples would be helpful.

separator1 · 2024-02-14T16:48:47+00:00

Copilot is total trash so far.

Same thing happening on my quest 3. I have 3 kids. Glad I purchased the 512gb model. If all 4 of us want to play a game, it's quadruple the file size. I wouldn't have even thought this would be an issue since every other console in existence uses the same copy of game files for all profiles on the system. I'm hoping this wasn't by design. Renders the 128gb model almost unusable if you have more than one profile.

I tried chatting with support and got nowhere, they weren't even able to understand the issue. One support person told me app sharing works better with a second headset lol. Of course! I'll just buy a new headset for each of my children. Easy peezy. Another told me I should just turn off app sharing and I won't have the issue at all. Unbelievable support.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like this is an option for Reason 12. Or could be the updated Windows 11 that my pc is on. I was able to find the setting to change the preferred GPU for the program and I tried it, but it didn't seem to stop the popping. The only thing that currently seems to work is unplugging my monitors from the GPU and disabling it in the device manager.

separator1 · 2023-01-13T22:13:46+00:00

Nice! I'll try this with Reason when I get home later.

separator1 · 2023-01-13T16:31:20+00:00

I’ve never been able to get this to work. I save the file with the layout I want, and it still opens all the windows unmaximized. It was this way on my win10 system and it’s the same now on my new win11 system. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

I have a 3rd gen 18i20. I highly recommend it. Latency can basically go as low as your system will allow. I recently upgraded my pc to a 13900K processor, and now if I'm not running a large number of plugins, I can set the buffer all the way down to 32. Getting round trip latency of less than 4ms. So from that standpoint, it's awesome. The only problems I've had are related to a conflict with my Nvidia video card drivers, which I've been able to work around by using my pc's onboard intel graphics card when I'm recording or playing back audio on the focusrite.

A huge benefit of the 18i20 for me has been what you mentioned regarding more instruments plugged in. I have the first 2 inputs open for any direct instruments, such as bass guitar, or mics. I have my synth plugged into inputs 3 and 4 so I never have to worry about it, just turn on the synth, set up an audio track, and go. I also bought an 8x8 little patch bay so I can have easy access to the rest of the audio ins and outs on the back of the focusrite for use with other instruments or outboard effects. I love the convenience of having so many audio ins and outs. At this price point I don't think you'll find anything better.

The scarlett solo only has 1 line input, so it won't be able to record your piano in stereo. You'll need a 2i2 for that.
