Thanks Razor. Trying to let all the people who ordered the headset and haven't received it the ins and outs.

Just got my Beyond today and this video was SUPER helpful, thank you. There's a lot to love about the Beyond coming from Index, but yeah, the glare and sweet spot issues were reeally bumming me out. Repositioning the HMD on the eyebrows definitely helped. It's going to take some getting used to. The head pad you recommend is sold out on amazon at the moment. I pre-ordered the Beyond audio strap, will be curious to hear what you have to say about that when it comes out.

The moment I get the audio head strap I will be adding it to the headset and trying it out. I will make a video on that as quick as possible (most likely same day, but later on that day). Glad my video helped you. The more you wear the headset the more you'll love it. Trust me. It really is the best PCVR headset on the market right now.

Thank you very much for the AMVR pad recommandation. This should help a lot while waiting for the upcoming official Audio Strap.

I just received my beyond yesterday, and this video rang quite true. I haven’t quite got the headset in a position on my face where it feels perfect yet, and I think that is hindering the sweet spot. I’m going to try wearing the headset a bit differently after watching this.

@@gamer.z3ro you are right, the more I use the headset, the more I enjoy it! I’ve heard that asking BSB support for a thinner gasket is an option, so I’ve done that and hoping that helps improve the horizontal FOV a bit, as that’s my only real complaint, you really have to look with head movement vs your eyes as the sweetspot isn’t massive. That, and I guess the glare? The glare almost looks like smudging within the optic layers, but it’s not TOO bad, but is a bit annoying.

What do you think about open ear high end headphones? I am buying a pair of BeyerDynamic DT 1990's soon.. figured those + this VR will be amazing for games, movies, etc. Thanks for strap recommendation. I ordered what you linked.

Headphones are a personal thing. I personally go between my SteelSeries over ear headphones and my Oladance on ear stereo "speakers" (basically a mix bewteen earbuds and headphones). Really just depends on you needs/wants. Those should sound amazing though. With headphones like that and my SteelSeries, it will get hotter faster. Just I play 3-4 hours and it's not bad at all.

What are you running on the PC side? How is your head room? Is an I7 with a RTX 4070ti enough for the typical HL Alyx, Population one type of games. Also with the headset on the eyebrows does it eliminate the glare or just reduce it? Thanks

@gamer.z3ro

8 ай бұрын

I have an Intel 13900k and a 4090 GPU. Your 4070ti will be more than enough. As far as the wearing the headset. Keeping the top of he face gasket on your brow is how it should be worn. The glare is a pancake lenses issue and will be there no matter what. However, when you wear the headset in the correct place the glare is on the bottom of your vision so it isn't very noticeable in most scenarios. What I have been able to do (because of the small form factor and minimal weight of the headset) is move my head quicker instead of moving my eyes and I am always in the sweet spot and have the best clarity.

Any suggestion on where do you store your VR headset with your accessory? (Like a rigid case or something)

If you can deal with the tracking issues Quests have, the Quest 3 is a great choice.

Thanks for your review, how bad is the glare? and also what really worries me is the edge to edge clarity, I don't want to have a similar (terrible) experience like the one I had with the Reverb G2. Currently using a Quest 2 and not sure if I was lucky but the edge to edge clarity is great.

@gamer.z3ro

The Bigscreen e2e clarity does fall off around the edges. However, when I am playing in my league matches in Onward I seriously don't notice the glare or the clarity dropping off at all. And I am laser focused on trying to spot the enemies at a distance so to not see glare or anything off is huge for me. The Aero is an excellent headset. I had one for about a week and returned it because the FOV was terrible. I also didn't like the color red and blue and how it was in the headset. The Quest 3 will have the best lenses. The e2e clarity is the best in the business. In my opinion the Quest 3 will be the best headset in the world because of the e2e clarity, the amount of aftermarket stuff for it, it can be stand alone and PCVR. However, I will still use the Bigscreen Beyond as my daily headset because of the small and light form factor and better overall resolution.

So, I will say that your Pimax Crystal will have better clarity and their lenses don't have any of the glare. Even with the Quest Pro and Quest 3... the glare won't be there and the edge to edge clarity will be better. The whole reason anyone should be buying the Bigscreen Beyond is an upgrade for their current Lighthouse tracked headset (Vive, Vive Pro, Vive Pro 2, Valve Index, etc.) and they want a headset that is lightweight, small and compact. This headset still has it's flaws such as the glare and lack of audio solution built in. The audio strap will cover one of those issues, but the glare is still there and will always be there. If you can live with it, great. I know I can live with it.

The Quest 3 is going to be a fantastic buy. It is the cheapest option to get into VR and PCVR. The Quest 3 is great. If you were to buy the Bigscreen Beyond you'll also need at least 2 lighthouses and controllers so that is an additional $500-$600 on top of the BSB cost. The only downside to the Quest 3 is battery life and lack of great options at this moment. I know within a few weeks/months there will be a ton more options for external batteries and such. For me the winner is the Bigscreen Beyond, but I also already owned Vive controllers and Index controllers and 4 lighthouses. I also love that the headset is super light weight and the clarity is better.

That really depends on how much VR gaming you’re doing. If you’re already in the Meta universe you might want to consider the Quest 3. It will be a BIg jump in clarity and optics from the Quest 2. I personally have a Quest Pro and the optics and sweet spot is amazing. I think the Bigscreen Beyond is a headset for people already in the SteamVR ecosystem and already have a PC and lighthouses and controllers. I couldn’t in good faith tell someone to buy this headset, lighthouses, controllers and a gaming PC when the Quest 3 is an option at only $500. A good upgrade for you would be: Quest 3 and possibly the Quest Pro controllers (they track REALLY well). Down the road if you want to get a PC you can always do air link, or virtual desktop and get the FULL potential of the Quest 3.
