Should you buy it?
Buy the Dream Air Lighthouse only if you already own SteamVR base stations and controllers and want Micro-OLED image quality in a very light PC VR headset, because this version drops the SLAM cameras and controllers that come with the pricier SLAM version. It has the same Sony Micro-OLED panels at 3840 x 3552 per eye, up to 90Hz, eye tracking for foveated rendering and a headset Pimax rates under 170 g, and base-station tracking sidesteps the controller jitter PC Gamer saw on the SLAM version. PC Gamer still called its visuals the best in VR but saw an RTX 5080 struggle at native resolution, and Tom's Guide had to restart the Pimax Play software more than once. Skip it if you wear glasses, since there's no room for frames, or if you don't own Lighthouse gear, since the pricier SLAM version includes tracking and controllers.
Sim racers and flight simmers who already own Lighthouse base stations and want the best-looking light PC headset.
Glasses wearers, VR newcomers and anyone without base stations and controllers.
