Shopping made pleasant again!

Highly recommend. Super friendly and helpful support. Fair prices, no unpleasant surprises at checkout or delivery. Excellent timely communication at all stages (even post-delivery). A million times better experience than when I tried to buy off the original manufacturer!

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, I have now a great VR headset (Dream Air)… the whole experience has been fantastic and very quick. Corey has been very helpful, customer service is brilliant and tailor made, you wont find that elsewhere. Easy to communicate and making sure everything is good throughout the process. Highly recommend these guys.

What a superb company to deal with

What a superb company to deal with. Bought a Pimax Dream Air. Best price available anywhere. Corey answered any questions I had and even went out of his way to ask if I needed any help setting up after it was delivered. This is a different level of customer service unheard of today. If you need anything SimTorque sell buy from them and support this small business.

Fantastic Service - thoroughly recommended!

I bought a DOF Reality H3R motion platform from Corey @ SimTorque. His service was fantastic and answered all my questions quickly and in great depth.

Every feature of the Dream Air in a more accessible package. The Dream Air SE uses the same Sony Micro-OLED panel technology and ConcaveView pancake lenses as its flagship sibling, delivering 5120 x 2560 resolution with deep blacks, vivid colours, and zero screen-door effect. At under 140g it is even lighter than the standard Dream Air, and one of the lightest PC VR headsets you can buy.

Tobii eye tracking powers Dynamic Foveated Rendering, which only renders full detail where you are looking. The result is dramatically lower GPU load without visible quality loss. A dual-fan cooling system keeps the lenses clear during intense sessions. The SLAM version includes two 6DOF controllers and inside-out tracking cameras, so there are no external base stations to mount. Pick it up, put it on, and you are in the cockpit.

Every Dream Air SE we sell comes with Pimax's updated facial interface fitted as standard. It adds extra cushioning around the forehead and cheeks and gives easier access to the USB-C port, so long race stints and flights stay comfortable. No ticket, no waiting for a replacement mask.

For sim racers and flight sim pilots who want Micro-OLED clarity without the flagship price tag, the Dream Air SE delivers the core experience at a price point that makes high-end VR genuinely accessible. Pair it with a motion platform and the lightweight design means the headset stays put when your rig moves underneath you.

In motion

Under 140g. Forget it's there.

Most VR headsets pull on your neck after 20 minutes. The Dream Air SE weighs less than a pair of sunglasses. Whether you're pulling 3G through a canyon in DCS or braking hard into Turn 1 on a motion platform, the headset stays exactly where you put it. No shifting, no adjusting, no fatigue. Just you, the cockpit, and whatever you're flying or driving.

Micro-OLED without the flagship price

Sony Micro-OLED panels, ConcaveView pancake lenses, Tobii eye tracking with Dynamic Foveated Rendering, and no base stations to mount. The Dream Air SE delivers deep blacks, vivid colour, and zero screen-door effect at a price that makes high-end PCVR genuinely accessible.

Read your dashboard at speed, pick out runway lights on approach, and let the eye tracking handle GPU optimisation so your existing hardware keeps up. Plug in the DisplayPort, put it on, and you're in the cockpit.

Choose the Dream Air SE if

You want Micro-OLED and eye tracking at a lower price, in the lighter headset, without needing a top-end graphics card.

Choose the Dream Air if

You want the sharper display: about twice the pixels of the SE, so dials and distant markers are noticeably crisper. Best with an RTX 3080 or better to drive it.

Specs as published by Pimax for the SLAM versions.

Built for motion

If you're racing or flying with motion & VR, this is the headset designed to handle it. SIMRIG's native VR motion compensation works out of the box with Dream Air SE. ProSimu and Qubic platforms support motion compensation through third-party tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Dream Air and Dream Air SE?

Both use Micro-OLED displays, pancake lenses, eye tracking and inside-out SLAM tracking with two controllers. The Dream Air has the sharper display, at 3840 x 3552 per eye against 2560 x 2560 on the SE, and Pimax recommends an RTX 3080 or higher for it against an RTX 3070 or higher for the SE. The SE is lighter, at under 140g against under 170g, and costs less. See the comparison table above for the side by side.

Does the Dream Air SE come with the updated facial interface?

Yes. Every Dream Air SE we sell comes with Pimax's updated facial interface already fitted. It has extra cushioning around the forehead and cheeks and easier access to the USB-C port. There's nothing to claim and no waiting for a replacement mask.

Does the Dream Air SE work with sim racing and flight sim titles?

Yes. It works with every SteamVR and OpenXR compatible title including iRacing, ACC, Assetto Corsa, MSFS, DCS World, X-Plane, and rFactor 2. Connect via DisplayPort for uncompressed visuals with no latency.

Do I need base stations for the SLAM version?

No. The SLAM version uses built-in cameras for inside-out tracking. No external hardware needed. Put it on and you are ready to go. If you prefer external base station tracking for maximum stability on a motion platform, the Lighthouse version is available separately.

Does the Dream Air SE work with motion platforms?

Yes. The ultra-light design stays stable when your platform tilts. SIMRIG offers native VR motion compensation. ProSimu and Qubic platforms support compensation through third-party tools. The lightweight build makes it one of the best VR headsets for motion use.

What GPU do I need?

Minimum NVIDIA RTX 2080. Recommended RTX 3070 or higher. Tobii eye tracking enables Dynamic Foveated Rendering which significantly reduces GPU load, so you get better performance than the resolution alone would suggest.

What is included in the box?

The SLAM version includes the headset with the updated facial interface fitted, two 6DOF controllers and a DisplayPort cable. Spatial audio and a microphone are built in.

What is the warranty?

1-year Pimax warranty, handled by us. If anything goes wrong, email us and we deal with Pimax for you. Faulty within 30 days of delivery: full refund. After that: repair or replacement under the warranty. We pay the delivery both ways on faulty units.
