Pimax is swinging for the high end of VR. At its "Frontier: Change To Stay The Same" event on October 6, the high-end PC VR maker unveiled the Crystal Pro — a wireless PC VR headset built around a streaming trick called Native Foveated Streaming — alongside new Ringless VR Controllers and a compact gaming PC called Spation. The Crystal Pro costs $1,399 on its own, or $1,899 bundled with Pimax's third-generation 60G AirLink kit. Shipments are planned for spring 2027, with hands-on demos starting in the fourth quarter of 2026.

The headphone jack is dead. Long live the headphone wire. Bose has launched the Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds — $99, USB-C, with active noise cancellation — and they are the company's first wired earbuds in 11 years. Shipping starts October 15, and preorders are open now.

OPPO has set the date. The Find X10 Series will make its global debut on October 21 in Mallorca, Spain, the company announced on October 8, and the headline feature is exactly what you would expect from a Find X flagship: the camera.
