Pimax Crystal PU Leather + Fabric Foam Pad Ultimate Upgrade Kit - My Thoughts. 

Congrats on 103 Subs

I trim away the Pimax thick foam that they provided for my 8KX and make it as thin as possible so I can get the best FOV. Oddly, I don't care about being comfortable lol. Been wearing it for years...didn't seem to bother me.

Thanks for the comparison. Think I will go with the fabric pads

I'm glad I found your channel. By your comments, you have had a very similar experience as I have in trying to make the Pimax Crystal comfortable. I got an Apache Comfort Strap from Player 1 with the counterweight. Although the counterweight is a good addition, the comfort strap wouldn't let the rear headband sit as low as it should so it got the flick. I then bought a cheap 12mm PU leather face and neck pad from Aliexpress, and even though the FOV was better, I ended up going back to the original 15mm foam piece (I have prescription lenses fitted). Which like the G2 Reverb's foam pad, makes my forehead itch. I even bought a cloth skull cap, that cyclists wear under their helmet for comfort and that helped a lot. Now after finding your video, I've just ordered the fabric kit like yours from Studioform. So, here's hoping I can finally get comfortable. Having said that, I wouldn't give up my Pimax Crystal for anything.

Good vid mate. Enough to purchase the goods. 👍

Hi, are you able to wear your glasses with the fabric face cushion installed?

lol, massive 37 subscribers, now 38 :)

I just got my crystal and really love the visuals of it, but the comfort is really bothering me. I can only last about 25-35 minutes before getting some serious pressure pains on my forehead. I feel the need to crank it real tight to have it sit securely on my head and stop it from wobbling around, and that leads to very painful experience after a short while. Was looking at the official Pimax top strap first, but that seems to have been out of stock for a good while now, so I'll be getting the StudioForm top strap and pads instead. Doesn't look at nice, but hopefully it'll be just as functional and comfortable. I've seen a lot of happy reviews and people reporting they can play for way longer without pains with the Apache strap, and I hope I can add to that statistic. Thanks for the review Mark, helped me make the decision to buy it!

Where did u get the 15mm one???

Thanks for posting this, great honest review. Been thinking about the top foam pad as I do have a top strap for it, but see they also have the spacers. I do notice that if I move side to side the headset is a bit lose on the temples and maybe bumping those sides in would help with that. That way I don't have to tighten so much to make contact on all sides of my face.
