Can't say I agree, and I really want people to seriously reconsider their purchase. I got the Bigscreen myself a few months ago, and the amount of issues this headset has is astonishing. 1. the face cussing hurt a LOT, even after being replaced. It's also airtight, so a fan won't help at all with the fact that it gets hot very fast. In other words, you sweat like crazy and the airtight inside of the headset fills with fluid like leaking goggles in a pool. 2. the glare is TERRIBLE. Like, 3 times as bad as the index. 3. motion blur. This is something nobody talks about, but "due to the way micro oled works," whenever you move your head, everything gets blurry as hecc until you keep it still again. It's funny how a headset that is marketed to make you wanna move your head more will make you keep your head still to the point of your neck getting stiff. 4. the brightness is actually fine tbh, but the fov is so incredibly small. Even the quest 2s fov feel better than this. 5. The audio...if you don't like using headphones while in vr, just don't even think about getting it. Plus, the Bluetooth cause hella latency. 6. they get the ipd wrong on every second customer, which brings me to the following: On their discord (which you can only enter after having a verified purchase), 50% of people seem to have similar issues. So for 1k, or even more depending on where you live, there is a 50/50 shot that it will work for you. A headset that is advertised to have amazing clarity while making you move more, yet it gets blurry the second you move, and you sweat like you've never sweat before. A headset advertised to have amazing contrast and colours, meanwhile the glare is too much to handle even in no high contrast areas. I tried for 3 months to fix my issues with the support because THEY always told me that it could all be fixed and I shouldn't send it back. After losing the spark I had for vr and giving up, they now tell me that I can't return it anymore because I'm over the time limit. Needless to say, I switched back to the index, and it felt like coming home. Too bad that I now own a 1.4k paperweight. Edit. The sweetspot is also SO INCREDIBLY tiny, that it adds to the whole no moving thing. You find it after 15min, congrats! you already lost it again after turning your head to quickly.
I agree. The out-of-box experience of this product is awful, both the HMD and the face pad and the head strap. On the other hand, people who can scrape the face pad or modify it to attach the Index strap may be satisfied, but I was not. I gave up on the Bigscreen after a day, put it in the box, and went back to the Quest Pro. For anyone considering purchasing, other HMDs can be sold second-hand if you decide not to use them, but the Bigscreen requires different face pads and vision correction lenses for each user, so it has no resale value. This is also a point you need to know.
that glare issue really makes it sound like you have an astigmatism or something similar, unless this is a widespread issue. it may be possible that having prescription lenses with prisms would decrease this effect.
It’s hardware like the beyond which makes me extremely excited for the future of VR, makes me think that we’ll really have tiny headsets like in ready player one that’s of great quality. All that’s left is making it more affordable lmao
@@GreenBlueWalkthrough Nah, they're just a bit smaller than the Big Screen VR... I'm tempted to buy one, but there aren't many vr games that interest me at the moment.
@@InfiniteCheeseCrates That's the main problem, really. There are not many games on the VR platform as of now, which means a lot of people aren't too interested. And companies aren't willing to make games, until people do buy VR headsets.
When talking to bigscreen about replacing the gasket, ask them to make it as thin as possible. You will thank me. It will increase your FOV by like 15 degrees.
Different people perceive the brightness of the Beyond differently. It has a perfect light seal, so for most people your eyes will adjust, and it will seem just as bright as other VR headsets. At least it does for me. But some people perceive it as dim, it's true. I was very skeptical of Bigscreen's claim that 90Hz OLED feels like 120Hz LCD, but found it to be actually true. This is another thing that won't necessarily be true for everyone, but it's not just a placebo effect. OLED pixels have a _much_ faster reaction time which affects human perception of smooth motion. It has a hidden benefit in that you can get good results at lower frame rates than you can with LCD headsets, which reduces the load on the GPU when playing heavy games. I'd recommend trying the 75Hz mode (which feels like 90Hz LCD). The Beyond is much sharper than the Quest 3 in this mode with 44% more pixels than the Quest 3 rendering at its native resolution. Whereas in the 90Hz mode, the Beyond only has roughly Quest 3 equivalent sharpness.
I’ve also had an index since end of 2019 and I’m on my third cable. Only reason I’m not on my fourth is because I stopped dancing in VRC and I also started using my Quest Pro full time with face tracking and it’s much superior displays. The colors seriously pop and local dimming gives you some of that deep oled blacks that looks so good.
@@alphacompton I’ve only had my Index since 2022 and saw sparkles on the display and random blackouts mid session after less than a year of casual use. Now I have finger tracking and controller connection issues- at least they replaced my cable and a base station that had the red light of death😅
Same here. Have used the Index since launch, deliberated on buying a Beyond when it was announced, bit the bullet just last month. It's uh.. most *definitely* a gimmick, like, one *thousand* dollars for this thing is hysterical with the provided straps. Admittedly, I do very much enjoy it for standing VR, and now reserve my index for my still VR experiences in the other room. The Beyond really put into perspective just how impressive the Index is after all this time. If Valve ever revisits VR I expect their next endeavor will somehow be even more impressive.
That might be the thickest BSB gasket I have ever seen o_o I had to get a few revisions to thin mine out, but customer support was extremely helpful and patient
I've had a beyond for almost a year now, and it is hands down the best headset i've ever used. i also got rid of the soft strap, and I actually made my own modification to use it with a vive DAS headstrap, i also modified the vive DAS head strap to have "Index style audio" (floating BMR's). I never had to send my beyond in once, and my face scan was absolutely perfect to the first time. 100%, my favorite headset in my decade of using VR
I've had a Bigscreen headset for a while now, and for pretty much the same reasons as Twice. One thing I have to say, it's not the perfect headset. There are other headsets out there that will give you bang for your buck. That being said, the Bigscreen offers one thing that virtually (pun intended) no other headset as a VR enthusiast can come close to: immersion. When I first bought my Vive in 2017, the Index was a solid and faithful upgrade but I always got that same VR fatigue coming out of a session and at most could do around 4 hours at a time. The Bigscreen was a game changer, I could go into VR half a day before my controllers would die and I'd feel only slightly drained. Like Twice said, when you revisit worlds you like in VRC it really just doesn't feel the same. Surfaces feel reflective, not just look them, the resolution is also insane and there really isn't a comparison considering the form factor. If you have the extra cash, go for it, and if not - don't break the bank. TL;DR - not perfect, but a very immersive headset despite some of its drawbacks.
Man idk who you are but this instantly made me think about the diving googles that get custom made just for you from that Sharktank episode. This is insanely good if you get a good pair unlike your uncentered one. Hope you get it resolved quickly.
To be clear, visually the gasket isn't going to appear centered for most people; humans aren't symmetrical creatures. That said, you can always get a new adjusted gasket. It took 3 for me to get a perfect one
9:56 I had the exact same issue with my first gasket for my Beyond. After talking to support they sent me another gasket within 3 days free of charge and I got to keep the old one! I wasn’t even mad!
In Europe this headset is 1,369€, or 1,448 USD plus hundreds extra for lenses or headstrap. Would love to try this kit but I just can't justify spending these amounts of money.
Not really a fair comparison. The bigscreen also requires base stations and controllers. Its basically marketed as a second headset device. So if you wanna say the index isn't cheaper for the full kit, add those same costs to the bigscreen.
My beyond audio cuts out too I contacted support. They believed it was due to power consumption of the headset and suggested to plug the power only cable into a wall outlet instead. This definitely reduced the issue for me but didn’t fix it. Yours sounds more mild than mine though, worth a shot.
i have a beyond and i absolutely love it a factor you forgot to mention is the PPD with the beyond being 35! for reference the quest 3 is 25 and the index being 15 that resolution and formfactor convinces me that im not wearing any headset
It was on screen for like 2 seconds and I could instantly recognize a military dorm room when I seen one. Giving me flashbacks of my time playing vr in the dorms. Also, awesome video I really like how you do your editing . Looking forward to seeing more!
had to get 3 different face gaskets, third one finally seemed "okay". first oen gave me a headache after 10min, second one was just overall uncomfortable. third one then seemd okay, but i had to remove some material on one side. and now it sits perfect. I first suspected wrong ipd, had long convos with suppoert about it, they where about to send me an ip measuring kit. but then we got to the gasket. Have to say the whole support experince was top notch, got the two replacements fully free of charge and with quick delivery under a weak, i liv ein germany. (used discord for support). And now i love that thing, use it with my vive delux audio strap (printed myself some adpaters)
Apart from the price tag for the headset itself, you need Iphone new enough to scan your face, Light house trackers, lighthouse vr motion controllers, headphone speakers, and many more!
And many more? No. You already listed everything. Also, even iPhones that are quite old have the necessary hardware. If you don't have an iPhone (like me), you only have to borrow one from a friend for 5 minutes. The scanning process doesn't install anything. Just point it at a QR code, and it does the scan from a web URL. If you have no friends, you can even just do it at an Apple store.
@@Alexander-b7j3s Nah is for those who already bought old set of vr lighthouse trackings that cost more than a grand from 2017. If you're new to VR, then Bigscreen Beyond is gonna be hard given that you need to search for light house trackers else way.
For my Beyond, I upgraded to it from my Quest 1 since I didn't want to give up OLED whilst the Index is just too outdated now for the price. I love my Beyond but I did have to send it back for another IPD and after 2 face cushions its still not comfortable, I plan on 3D printing my own Slimterface mod in the future as well as some parts to turn the soft strap into a halo strap, I've already 3D printed a replacement cable clip because the default one is pretty terrible. Apart from that the higher resolution is for sure worth it, perhaps less for me coming from an OLED but from any LCD headset it's a major upgrade
i ordered mine yesterday and then saw this video today while laying in bed ready to go to sleep. i've owned cheaper headsets like the Quest 2 and the original PSVR before but always found them lacking in a few areas and i've been looking into getting a Beyond for a long time now because it sounds like it would fix all the problems i've had using those headsets. the price tag (while still a huge price especially since i don't have any PCVR hardware yet) isn't a massive worry for me right now since i recently got a very well paying job and have been keeping my expenses as low as possible for a while now.
I hope they can get the issues worked out because this headset is GORGEOUS. I love my index but the weight on my face from it is something I just can't put up with sometimes 😭
I don't blame you for wanting to check out Korea. I spent a year there and had a ton of fun. Seoul and Busan are great. The Pyeongtaek mall has a really cool theater as well.
I been thinkin about this channel off and on all year, glad to see ya back! And yeah I want a BSB so bad but I might just settle with a Quest 3 for now.
Dude if you find the speakers on the Beyond audio strap are too quiet then turn up the volume of SteamVR in the SteamVR menu. The speakers then become plenty loud. People who complain about the speakers being quiet always forget to do this.
It seems cool in concept, but it's way more ecpencive if you don't already have an Index. You have to get base stations, controllers, and an audio solution if you don't already have some nice headphones or ear buds. And after all that, you are still teathered to a cable. If it's PCVR only, all you would need is a receiver to stream from your PC like the Quest's. That can't take up that much space or cost that much to add, could it?
After a year, it still seems like the Beyond still has a massive learning curve for new people. It surmountable, as I've become accustomed to it's numerous quirks over the past year since getting mine. But some of the issues require more money put in to fix problems, like trying new strap mods (I use an AVP strap for mine). If newer headsets like the Shiftall MeganeX Superlight 8k or Pimax Crystal Super uOLED minimize the curve while providing a significant upgrade in the screens and lenses, it would be difficult to continue recommending the Beyond. Yes, even at double the price point, because again fixing the Beyond's issues does require some more money and time invested. That's *if* Shiftall or Pimax fix reported issues with their own HMDs.
Me personally, I see it as a pretty good investment and such. Sure the IPD may not be accurate, but what I would try doing is creating my own custom IPD attachment that is compatible with the headset to use, or if possible, send a more in-depth IPD measurement to the company if possible. But honestly, after watching this amazing detailed video about it, I might just buy one for myself!
From my experiences i would say, dont expect everything to work out of the box but you would probably need to talk to the support team multiple times before you get to have a fully fumtional headset. I have to change my face gaskets twice and had to send the headset to fix dead pixles. Plus the defult headstrap.amd the audio straps are not really great so i would recommend using some 3d printed adapters with some other strap.
I like the versatility of regular headsets, anyone can put them on which is great when you want to help someone experience VR, so personally this wouldn't be my first purchase
I'm glad you had a good experience with the headset! Mine came with issue after issue after months of waiting 😭 I found the Quest 3 much more clear since the sweet spot on the beyond was unacceptable. I went through support a few times before ultimately returning it. I recommend the Quest 3 for those getting into VR but I ultimately stuck with the Quest Pro for the facetracking. Also my guess for the audio cutting out when you stand up is due to building up a static charge over time - my monitor will sometimes shutoff for a few seconds and I thought I was going crazy 😆
Oh nice, if you're at Osan I wonder if we had overlap there. I left SK in February. About the Beyond...I like it. I got mine late Feb and so far the only issue was the cable breaking...probably because of the plastic clip. But Bigscreen sent me a replacement pretty quickly, as well as a replacement link box incase that was the cause. I'm actually still I also have a Quest 2 and Pimax 5k+ but unless I _really_ need the Quest 2's wireless for something, neither of them see any use. Occasionally I miss the super wide FOV of the Pimax, but not enough to actually go through the hassle of getting it out and setting up their software. For the brightness, I've _noticed_ it's less, but I actually keep my brightness set waaaaaay _down_ anyway. Like I'm talking close to 6%. Reason being with the full face shield meaning no light bleed, your eyes can adjust to the darkness better, and I noticed I had less glare inside the lens with the brightness lower. Also somehow using the perscription inserts instead of wearing contacts also meant less glare, which is the opposite of what I would expect but hey I'll take it.
I finally got a new job that pays well so I'm planning to upgrade to the Q3. Knowing my luck after I buy it and kit it out the Deckard will get officially announced
bro remembered his password
he needed to make this video to pay for the beyond

I got the Bigscreen myself a few months ago, and the amount of issues this headset has is astonishing.
1. the face cussing hurt a LOT, even after being replaced. It's also airtight, so a fan won't help at all with the fact that it gets hot very fast. In other words, you sweat like crazy and the airtight inside of the headset fills with fluid like leaking goggles in a pool.

I don't blame you for wanting to check out Korea. I spent a year there and had a ton of fun. Seoul and Busan are great. The Pyeongtaek mall has a really cool theater as well.
What brought you to Korea?
glad to see you back again
I been thinkin about this channel off and on all year, glad to see ya back! And yeah I want a BSB so bad but I might just settle with a Quest 3 for now.
$130 for the quality of that audio strap is something else...
Dude if you find the speakers on the Beyond audio strap are too quiet then turn up the volume of SteamVR in the SteamVR menu. The speakers then become plenty loud. People who complain about the speakers being quiet always forget to do this.
Hey welcome back Twice!!
my index is currently being held together with electrical tape and jb weld, so it's only time until I join you
It seems cool in concept, but it's way more ecpencive if you don't already have an Index. You have to get base stations, controllers, and an audio solution if you don't already have some nice headphones or ear buds.
And after all that, you are still teathered to a cable. If it's PCVR only, all you would need is a receiver to stream from your PC like the Quest's. That can't take up that much space or cost that much to add, could it?
your editing is so good
After a year, it still seems like the Beyond still has a massive learning curve for new people. It surmountable, as I've become accustomed to it's numerous quirks over the past year since getting mine. But some of the issues require more money put in to fix problems, like trying new strap mods (I use an AVP strap for mine). If newer headsets like the Shiftall MeganeX Superlight 8k or Pimax Crystal Super uOLED minimize the curve while providing a significant upgrade in the screens and lenses, it would be difficult to continue recommending the Beyond. Yes, even at double the price point, because again fixing the Beyond's issues does require some more money and time invested. That's *if* Shiftall or Pimax fix reported issues with their own HMDs.
been missing you dude! excellent post!
bro the goat finally returned
God everyone’s AF tech dorms really looked identical holy.
Finally twice made a video a was waiting for so long
Me personally, I see it as a pretty good investment and such. Sure the IPD may not be accurate, but what I would try doing is creating my own custom IPD attachment that is compatible with the headset to use, or if possible, send a more in-depth IPD measurement to the company if possible. But honestly, after watching this amazing detailed video about it, I might just buy one for myself!
havent seen this channel in ages
I LOVE THE ZENLESS ZONE ZERO MUSIC 🔥
OH MY GOD IS THAT WINGMAN??? MY BOIIII
From my experiences i would say, dont expect everything to work out of the box but you would probably need to talk to the support team multiple times before you get to have a fully fumtional headset. I have to change my face gaskets twice and had to send the headset to fix dead pixles. Plus the defult headstrap.amd the audio straps are not really great so i would recommend using some 3d printed adapters with some other strap.
Welcome back my guy
I like the versatility of regular headsets, anyone can put them on which is great when you want to help someone experience VR, so personally this wouldn't be my first purchase
finally, your home.
9 whole months bruddah
Im actually surprised how similar the microphones sound I really liked the toaster at the end
Underrated asf, this video is a 𝓜𝓪𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓮𝓬𝓮🫡🫡
great video as always man
finally a twice video (old man sounds)
Grab a PSVR2 on sale. For $350 its a fantastic value.
My goat has returned 😭🙏🙏🙏
MY BROTHER, YOU HAVENT UPLOADED IN 9 MONTHSSS
WE MISSED YOU
I'm glad you had a good experience with the headset! Mine came with issue after issue after months of waiting 😭 I found the Quest 3 much more clear since the sweet spot on the beyond was unacceptable. I went through support a few times before ultimately returning it. I recommend the Quest 3 for those getting into VR but I ultimately stuck with the Quest Pro for the facetracking.
Also my guess for the audio cutting out when you stand up is due to building up a static charge over time - my monitor will sometimes shutoff for a few seconds and I thought I was going crazy 😆
Welcome back!
Oh nice, if you're at Osan I wonder if we had overlap there. I left SK in February.
About the Beyond...I like it. I got mine late Feb and so far the only issue was the cable breaking...probably because of the plastic clip. But Bigscreen sent me a replacement pretty quickly, as well as a replacement link box incase that was the cause. I'm actually still I also have a Quest 2 and Pimax 5k+ but unless I _really_ need the Quest 2's wireless for something, neither of them see any use. Occasionally I miss the super wide FOV of the Pimax, but not enough to actually go through the hassle of getting it out and setting up their software.
For the brightness, I've _noticed_ it's less, but I actually keep my brightness set waaaaaay _down_ anyway. Like I'm talking close to 6%. Reason being with the full face shield meaning no light bleed, your eyes can adjust to the darkness better, and I noticed I had less glare inside the lens with the brightness lower. Also somehow using the perscription inserts instead of wearing contacts also meant less glare, which is the opposite of what I would expect but hey I'll take it.
That bigscreen looks yommay
The goat has returned
twice? more like once every 9 months, just kidding glad your back
Return of the King
I finally got a new job that pays well so I'm planning to upgrade to the Q3. Knowing my luck after I buy it and kit it out the Deckard will get officially announced
TwiceVR omg sign my cheese burger.
i'm gonna be saving and shilling for my dream headset here soon one day hopefully.... that... then fbt... then I will take over the world...
