Which facial interface are you using with your Pico 4?
Can you please do a throw back video with the Samsung Oddysey + and maybe compare it to a newer headset? Maybe even another Half-Life Alyx gameplay video with it? I have this headset and still love it!! Thanks Sebastian for your content! - Dan S.
Yeah, you're not a sponsored reviewer...
@@michaelfalsetti6740 hey Michael, I have affiliate links for ALL the products that I show here on the channel. It is absolutely transparent.

AMVR is better and cheaper
I can honestly say this GEEKVR product is not worth the money
I can't speak for GeekVR's interface, but I can only wear the AMVR interface for a max of 40 minutes before I develop an excruciating bruise-like pain on the top center of my forehead.
It's bad enough that I've gone back to the light-leak hell of the original interface, while I think of ways to make wearing the Pico 4 more comfortable to wear.
I mean, I really like this headset, but if I can't make it wearable for at least a full hour, I'm going to have to think seriously about sending it on its way.
Yeah I wouldn't pay the price for geekvr. I got AMVR and feel no pain after 3 hours unlike the original interface
@@kaecatlady Do not crank your strap down like a vice, it is not needed.
I love it when all of this goodness is.... coming up
I wish there could be a facial interface that makes the Pico4 show the bottom IRL so I can see my keyboard while typing in vr like a quest pro. So far, no company has done that yet, which really surprises me.
Most users don't want leakage. And if they want just for 1 minute keyboard, they can enable quickly the camera passtrough and type on the keyboard. It works, not perfect, but i can see something. As long it's enough lit.
So i am afraid for you there might no one that fits you.
I guess most users probably spent time gaming and chill more than working in VR. Maybe I might have to grab my 3d printer and start making it my own🤔. For sure, the passthrough is good enough for a quick glimpse of things. But for extended hourly use like writing essays, working on documents, or 3d modeling in Blender. having to double-tap passthrough every 3 seconds to check the keyboard shortcut just wouldn't work. I might change my mind after the Immersed app is launched on the Pico store (maybe the passthrough portal is good enough). But still, I really wish I could just comfortably work in VRChat with my multiple XS overlay screen.
@@tonynattawat3460 working in VR sounds amazing, I want to buy one now too.😹
can you see the black edges with your perfi vision, how is the fov more detailed?
Tank you Very much Sebastian ,Very good vidéo 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Aplushhsss 😇👍🏻👍🏻
I actually have the AMVR interface for Pico 4 and it works great with my VR prescription inserts, Ive been using them allong with the BOBOVR headstrap and the pico 4 has become amazing, and rumour has it that BoboVR is looking at headphones audio solution for the Pico4 like it did with quest 2.
Exactly my setup too. It's great.
Trust me, way better than this setup. I'm either going to have to sell it or return it.
I heard since your face is to close to the pico 4 lens with the new geekvr face guard the pico rest more on your nose causing discomfort, any truth to this?
It's getting expensive between the BoboVR, GeekVR, and Soundcore VR P10 earbuds LOL
Just get AMVR instead of overpriced Geek vr
@@SlavaBagmut Thanks for the suggestion but too late, I already got all of this stuff! :)
That is so expensive wow. Are there any other good options for the pico 4?
Where did you get that cable clip for the headband?
What's the FOV measurement improvement? Do they make one for Quest 2 as well?
My FOV measurements were 102/102 so not really an improvement over the stock and that is also with the thinner pad which has issues of its own. AMVR makes a better option for cheaper friend.
I got the geekvr one it cost me 95 usd and it was worse than the stock interface due to the fact that it kept popping out of place when I would adjust the headstrap. The halo part did not stay on when trying to lower the headstrap to wear it overall I was disappointed but, the amvr one is perfect and I could not be happier it feels like I am wearing nothing on my head now due to how light the pico 4 is and the bobovr headstrap adds extra comfort and security.
Okay, headshapes are different obviously. For me the geekvr one is great. But I am also looking forward to the amvr one.
@@mixedrealityTV thats true but in my case the geekvr one would just pop out even when not wearing it sadly the amvr one fits my headshape fine though
Yeah the GeekVR set was completely waste of money, inferior to the original.
@@mixedrealityTV No, it was super bad. You may want to review the AMVR version. This one sucked!
I guess i will get soon updated one. I already ordered it long time ago, but as Amazon shop. Should not wait long time before i get it too.
For users who want order now AMVR facepadding: it's still sold out for one week. Waiting for re-stock. (at original shop site)
Lucky i can change pad GeekVR with other facepaddings. So it's not really issue for a while.
hi , do any of these fit a pico 3 link ?
I bought the 30 USD Chinese facial interface for narrow faces and it works great, much better than the origianal one if you have a narrow face and high nose bridge no issues
Sounds good i wait until you test amvr.
Would end up cleaning lens's every time you use it with the thin one. Still Kickstarters waiting for their deliveries, not happy. Others have broken very easily so not very good QC either.
As these headsets continue to get smaller there absolutely needs to be some way to use them without glasses or inserts. There's just no way this can't become a standard much longer.
I got my GeekVR today. Sadly, I don't find it as comfortable as the original. I fitted the side pieces to the 20mm (required). Initially it was great, but quite quickly I found it hurt my nose. I tried the halo part, which was more comfortable, but I found that when looking up, it strains against the headset. Admittedly I didn't fit the nose piece and will try it later, but for now though, I don't find the GeekVR either as comfortable, nor does it feel as secure on my head, without extra tightening. I'm sure that it will probably be fine for other people, but not for me.
I have an AMVR one on the way, so it will be interesting to see if it's any better.
Did you tried it with the Pico 4 spacer? Many, included Sebastian, forget his existence. ;)
@@blizado3675 No, but I've fitted it now. I'll see if it gives my nose a bit more space (honestly though, I don't have a big nose 😆)
I have the AMVR interface and am happy with it. My head is big enough, I have no lightbleed (also not on the original one, but I didn't like the material).
@@SjaakSchulteis Same, I also have the AMVR interface for pico 4, best part about it is that it works with Prescription inserts, least the ones from VR optician
@@deanrichards364 I have lensinserts too and no problem with those either.
I own Pico 4 and the default interface definitely is too hard, especially on my cheekbones - there is big marks there after use - I want to change it for months! I would be interested in this BUT I do *not* want to pay for all the extra redundant stuff that I will not be using.... so tell BoboVR (or others making these) to *split it up* on their website and let ME choose what I want to buy - thin interface, thick interface, forehead cover separately. So I could just buy one thick interface and nothing else. Also I will wait for MRTV reviews of the other two rival companies interfaces and see which is the best - and if the other companies sell separately and cheaper then I will buy from them instead.
Understandable, but do you know what part you are not using? Anything he says is only for his face, maybe at the end you use near all parts.
@@blizado3675 yes... I know I would not use that stupid forehead thing... and one interface is good enough.. I don't want to buy two different sizes and only use one - awful waste of everyone's time, effort and resources as well as money. I would just take the thicker one and nothing else.
My GeekVR came today and like everyone else on Reddit, Amazon and UA-cam it's trash. Absolutely awful. Get the AMVR one as it's a million times better.
If it's only the space to the lenses: the Pico 4 has a spacer in the package.
I have both and dont like both, will stick to the stock.
Did it hurt your nose with that new face guard?
Is it just mine or does the bobovr battery not able to maintain the battery percentage of the headset (it shows the charging icon) unless I use its usb port?
With mine, in PCVR at max settings and bit rate, it doesn't actually maintain the battery but neither does some other solutions I've used so it's not just a bobovr thing. I think the Pico 4 is just drawing so much power that nothing can really maintain it but it DOES extend you playtime for many hours if your hot swapping the batteries. I find 4 batteries is the sweat spot. Use one while the other 3 charge until the headset itself taps out but that's after many hours for me lol
My AMVR Neck powerbank maintains the Pico charge during PCVR, it only drops around 3-4 percent in a 2Hour play session. I also use a Iniu 10500mAh powerbank that can actually charge the Pico slowly while still playing PCVR as it has the capacity and current overhead to do it. BOBO batteries are only specced for 13 Watts 2.6Amps on their site so not enough power to maintain a Pico4 charge on PCVR.
@@DelDredd hmm. thank you. I was looking at that AMVR powerbank. I'll have to see about getting one.
@@gordontechreviews Works well and is comfortable to wear around the neck does not feel heavy as it is even weight mainly on shoulders.
Anything related to better options in additive manufacturing are automatically deleated from the post, WHY?
I have both the GeekVR and AMVR interface. AMVR is cheaper, is much more comfortable and has way less light leakage.
Too bad, one day after your video the links already say unavailable. Personally I have no huge issue with the original face interface, a bit better seal would be nice for a moderate price.
I purchased that unit from the Kickstarter because I watched your video and was extremely let down because it cost me $80 for something that's not even better than the interface that comes with the Pico 4. The magnets were horrible so it wouldn't stay there was light leakage everywhere and the Halo part always popped off also it was a little too close to the lenses because my eyelashes were hitting the lens. I think what they need to do is make it where the interface connects all the way around like the interface that comes with it.
80 is a lot, no question. Did you get the version that I have now with the wedges?
@@mixedrealityTV Well they sent me out the wedges with it but there were still so much light bleed. I like the concept but I feel like the interface should be connected all the way around to make it more sturdy and also the size need to come out more like the stock interface. I just hope somebody comes out with something that can just attach to the stock interface.
@@sidney1234usc but then you won't have FOV gains.
@@mixedrealityTV Yeah I know but I have so using the geek VR facial interface doesn't have enough support to keep my head and eyes from the screen. These VR companies would make the headstraps just a hair bit bigger. I think I'm going to try the AMVR one out next month since I'll probably be using my PSVR2 more
@@sidney1234usc So, this talking point I see a lot of companies doing "great FOV" is propaganda BS. I've actually measured the stock and this geekVR one with both pads, the thin and the thick and I measured it with the AMVR one using both the pad it comes with and a much thinner pad I had from the original quest. stock 100Vertical, 102 horizontal, geekVR 102 vert 102 horizontal regardless which pad I used, AMVR 102 vert 102 horizontal regardless which pad I use. Conclusion, its a BS talking point and is meaningless. ignore the claims of "great FOV" and instead focus on quality and comfort. For now, I like the AMVR one but I look forward to what VRcover comes out with.
There is something wrong here. The product in your video looks completely different than the product in the link you include. In the video the plastic interface is quite small, maximizing FOV, while the plastic interface in the link you provide is much larger and has the GEEK logo on the sides, which does not appear in your video. They look like two different accessories.
Did GeekVR change the design after you posted your review? If they did then you should note that.
Friend, I hate to ask but are you shilling for these people? I ask because I funded the kick-starter, $80 because I live in the US and I received one of the new ones and I reviewed it. This is a TERRIBLE product not worth anywhere near what they are selling it for. the magnet strength is bad (you didn't actually test the magnet strength), even with those "pads" I still got light leakage even on the thick pad. These facial interfaces work best when they actually wrap to the sides of the head. These don't do that and so they send those "pads" to make up for it but they are still insufficient. You didn't actually test this in proper Halo manner. You not suppose to use that top strap as per their own picture on the website. This is unusable in Halo manner (which is unfortunate as that is what I was looking forward to). IF they ONLY sold the elite style and scaled the cost down to 20-30 dollars, I could make a better argument for it as, in elite style, its an improvement over the stock BUT, and this is a HUGE but, AMVR makes a FAR superior option in the 35 dollar range so EVEN if they did what I said, I STILL could not, in good conscience recommend this and DEFINITELY as things currently are, STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED. As reviewers, we are here for the consumers NOT as brands PR teams......
I agree! Very disappointed
As always, it depends on your own head. You can be sure if you find one that is good for you other will tell you it is bad, too narrow for their heads. I fear there will be never one gasket that fit all heads perfectly. A huge problem of VR.
@@blizado3675 That's not completely accurate. There are designs that are more universal than others. The thing with this one is, it appears to be more universally panned then most and The AMVR one everyone's talking about seems to be getting more universal praise. I don't think this particular one can be passed off as "head shape" thing.
That one looks way better then amvr, amvr face guard looks ridiculous big around your face, that one u got looks way better 😀
hi Sebastian I just received GeekVR and I must say that I am not satisfied for two main reasons. The first concerns the thickness of the two masks which are practically equal. The thicker one is not thick enough to comfortably use the magnetic add-on prescription lenses. I almost touch the lenses with my eyes and feel my forehead and nose pressing annoyingly against the hard plastic of the viewer. The second concerns the nose piece that does not stay in place and sticks in the eyes. And finally the really excessive price for such a product. I will write to GeekVr to ask for a thicker mask. I really hope that they will respond positively by sending it to me for free because this is not good at all.
Those from geekvr - well, not worth it. Forehead pad is useless, you will just get more sweat with it.
AMVR mask + bobovr bd2 p4, thats all you need for maximum comfort, i would say.
I luv the title; Pimp your Pico 4. From the Pico 4 Pimp himself, lol! Just kidding mate. I’m glad to see sooo many 3rd party mods.
Too expensive for few pieces of plastic. I would maybe buy just the thick face pad for better FOV but for much less. No FOV measurement comparison Sebastian?
I want to see your offical test with real exact number
Looks even smaller with that face guard
This addon converts this headset lenses into contact lenses.
How does pico 4 work outdoors?
ua-cam.com/video/hFuGZhCmdLw/v-deo.html
For an interface that cost $96 AUD it comes with two design flaws needing extra wedge cushions and stickers. I paid $21 AUD with postage included for a different one with less vents and no halo and also brings me just as close to the lenses. I don't like the halo and the less vents still for me prevent screen fogging. I could understand charging up to $40 AUD for this product without the halo but this is just overpriced.
Got the geekvr, not impressed and not comfortable especially around the nose
Maybe the Pico 4 spacer can help, many forget his existence and didn't try it with it.
I've been waiting for VRCover to make a facial interface, but this looks tempting.
Don't do it. I received mine today & it's awful. The velcro is coming unstuck from the plastic & why should you have to add wedges? Really not worth the money!
Don't do it. Honestly you will regret it. Even the magnets are weak af. Go for AMVR or wait for VRCover to release a facial interface.
@@attrib Yeah I don't think the GeekVR stuff is any good.. I got the Pico 4 interface but it's just not working.. the smallest one you might aswel don't use an interface.. and even the biggest one isn't that fitting.. besides that you need to add extra wedges against the light leak... not good designed at all. Not what I would have liked for that price.
don't do it. it's a bad product
Don't waste your money, it's shit
Over priced cash grab. Amvr is better than stock and cheap on aliexpress.
It's really too expensive, no question. Maybe they made too less so the price for a single one was too expensive. Mass production lowers the price. Or maybe they really want to have too high a profit margin...
Don't forget that this is only for his face. There are people with eyes who are very deep in their eye holes, for them it can work better. And also don't forget: there is a Spacer inside the Pico 4 package you can also use with this gasket to bring more space into it.
True.

Ich habe heute mein GeekVR Cover-Set erhalten. Leider mit gemischten Erfahrungen bei der Anwendung. Positiv: Das FOV ist etwas größer, was klar war und die Polsterung schön weich. Das war es aber auch schon mit dem " Positiven Erfahrungen " Negativ: Die beiden Einsätze halten nicht so gut magnetisch wie das Originale von Pico ! Man braucht nur die Brille abzulegen und die Face-Cover fangen sich an zu lösen von der Pico-4. Die Magneten sind zu schwach ! Weitere Nachteile/Unzulänglichkeiten - läßt man den Kopfstrip der Pico dran gehen erstens beide Face-Cover von GeekVR nur schwer dran so das man schon drücken muß, das diese auch exakt an der Brille anliegen - UND - noch schlimmer zieht man den Kopfstrip der Pico an drückt das Strip die Cover von der Pico weg ! Entfernt man den Strip geht das zwar - aber die Cover drücken dermaßen auf der Nase das es weh tut. Dieses Problem behebt das Kopf-Halo von GeekVR, welches die Brille leicht anhebt und der Nasendruck weg ist. Weiteres Problem mit dem Halo klappt man die Seiten der Pico zum Aufsetzen hoch und dann runter drücken die Seiten rechts und links der Pico auf das Halo und damit die Cover aus der ohnehin schon schwachen magnetischen Halterung - unzumutbar ! Hat man es dann geschafft die Pico endlich mit etwas hin und her ruckeln auf den Kopf zu bringen - funktioniert es auch. Aber diese Mängel sind einfach nicht akzeptabel und kommen mir wie im "Beta-Stadium" ( besser Alpha ) dieses Sets vor. Ohne dem mitgeliefertem Kopf-Halo ist das Set ein Schmerz-Graus aufgrund des Nasendrucks. Würd ich mir nicht wieder kaufen - ich weiß nicht wie die Tester z.B. bei MRTV zu so einer positiven Bewertung kommen. Mein Fazit und Warnung - leider - Hände weg !!
$70???? Are they part of HTC(the king of overprice company)
I've just received this. It's total garbage. Maybe it's different for other people but if I can get a refund I will. Avoid at all costs.
I wouldnt lay mord than 30 max more like 20
Pay more
Aw man jealous of people who can actually take advantage of it im blind without my glasses. Seems like it'd give tons if fov with those pancakes.
You might want to look into VR Prescription Lenses
HonsVR makes great magnetic lenses for the Pico 4 for a reasonable price, even compared to many other VR lens makers. My right eye is close to normal vision, but left eye's vision is pretty terrible, so being able to fit prescription lenses to my headset is a must.
I haven't noticed any great drop in FOV with the Hons lenses, and for my level of vision they were quite a bit cheaper than this facial interface is. Even with tax and shipping. The price may have changed since I bought mine a couple of months ago, but the difference in my in-world VR experience has made them completely worth whatever they would have cost, versus my glasses.
If it is only the glasses, you can use the Pico 4 spacer that was in its package and Sebastian forget again to mention it.
To expensive, I’ll wait for Ali express
70 for that what a ripoff
I've lost credit in this guy. He seems to either be paid by companies to review their products or completely clueless. He used to say that the pico stock interface was comfortable.
Well, I don't think it's uncomfortable but for some it's simply too hard. Thanks for watching and commenting! ;)
@@mixedrealityTV
It literally feels like your face is pressed up against a car seat from the 80's. Who finds that comfortable? How could your face not hurt when using it? Would you be okay with cement or sandpaper too?
Bruh, they just discontinued it because everyone hates it🤣 including me… waste of money 😭
Hell nah, no headstrap, SMH looks 👎
It's absolutely rubbish, the head piece is useless, the whole thing is uncomfortable,
I like the face padding. But would be glad if it was cheaper of course.
@@mixedrealityTV thank you for your reply, Sabastian, I think your you tube videos are the best, you explain everything perfectly, and you are always up to date, I come from the UK but I live in Panama, unfortunately vr is not popular so keeping in touch with your videos is perfect, regards
Purchased it, and it was worst than the original. Super unusable. Don't buy this crap. But if you want to buy this crap. I'll sell it to you.
