Pimax Crystal Pro Announced With Optional 60GHz Wireless PC VR

Wireless PC virtual reality has a persistent trade-off: remove the cable and you usually have to compress the video stream. Pimax wants to reduce that compromise with its new Crystal Pro headset, announced October 6, 2026, alongside an optional third-generation 60G AirLink kit.

The important word is optional. Crystal Pro already includes built-in Wi-Fi streaming and a dedicated Wi-Fi 6E adapter. The more ambitious 60GHz system is a separate upgrade, and the company has not yet announced shipping dates.

What Native Foveated Streaming means

Pimax calls the new approach Native Foveated Streaming. With the optional 60G AirLink kit installed, eye tracking identifies where the user is looking, and the system sends the GPU's native image to that focus area without the video encoding used in conventional Wi-Fi streaming. Pimax says its 2×2 MIMO setup can deliver up to 6Gbps, with less than 2ms of added link latency.

Those numbers are manufacturer claims, not independently measured performance. They also do not mean the entire PC-to-headset experience has 2ms total latency. Game rendering, tracking and other steps still take time. The company also notes that 60GHz signals do not pass through walls, which matters when arranging a VR play space.

Headset specifications and what is included

The Crystal Pro uses QLED panels rated at 2880 × 2880 pixels per eye, with 72Hz, 90Hz and 120Hz refresh modes. Pimax lists a 110-degree horizontal field of view, 35 pixels per degree, Mini-LED local dimming with 576 zones per eye, and integrated 120Hz eye tracking. Four cameras support its inside-out tracking system, with optional faceplates for Lighthouse tracking or mixed-reality passthrough.

The headset does not have an internal battery. Instead, Pimax includes a 16,000mAh external pack. The base box also contains two ringed SLAM controllers and a Wi-Fi adapter. A DisplayPort 1.4a cable connection is available as another way to use the headset with a PC.

The optional 60G AirLink kit has two headset antennas, two room antennas and cables. Buyers should account for room setup, wireless line of sight and the additional hardware cost rather than treating 60GHz performance as standard on the base model.

Price and Philippine availability

Pimax announced a US$1,399 base price, approximately ₱87,780 (US$1,399.00) at a reference exchange rate of ₱62.745 per US dollar. The bundle with 60G AirLink is US$1,899, approximately ₱119,153 (US$1,899.00). The 60G kit alone is US$599, approximately ₱37,584 (US$599.00).

These peso figures are currency estimates, not official Philippine retail prices. Shipping, import duties, taxes and local distribution costs are not included. Pimax says a US$1 reservation can join the waiting list, but a reservation is not the same as a confirmed delivery date. Shipping dates for both the headset and 60G kit remain to be announced.

Other hardware from the same event

Pimax also unveiled ringless controllers that can clip together into a conventional gamepad, plus the Spation mini-PC aimed at demanding PC VR workloads. The company has not yet announced prices or delivery dates for either. Those are separate products, not bundled extras for every Crystal Pro order.

For flight-sim and racing enthusiasts, the high-resolution display and low-latency wireless concept are intriguing. But anyone shopping from the Philippines should wait for regional shipping details, independent latency tests and clear warranty arrangements before treating this as a ready-to-buy upgrade.
