In this video I put the Meta Quest 3 head-to-head against the Pimax Crystal Light to find out which headset really delivers the best experience for sim racing in iRacing.

Topics covered are:
Field of view & clarity differences
Comfort (straps, fit, weight balance)
Audio quality & microphone tests
Tracking performance – headset & controllers
What it’s really like to use the Crystal Light in iRacing (edge-to-edge clarity, sweet spot, and long-distance visibility)
Price breakdowns once you add essential Quest 3 upgrades

I also share my own first-hand impressions after spending time racing with both headsets, along with the pros, cons, and quirks you’ll want to know before buying.

If you’re thinking of upgrading your VR setup for iRacing, or you’re stuck choosing between the Quest 3 and the Pimax Crystal Light, this video should help you decide which one is right for you.
