Pimax 5k & headphones?

[Blitzen]

I have Rift with nice built in headphones making it easy to use and sort of gotten spoiled about how well they work .Today while watching a YouTube vid on the Pimax 5K I noticed there is a jack for what i assume third party headphones.Does anyone have information as to whether Pimax will offer fitted headphones at some time later ,or if we who have pre-bought the Pimax should start looking around for an inexpensive compact set when the 5K finally arrives months from now? any ideas as to what headphones might be worth looking at? Thanks!

I'm not sure on the Pimax specifics but I switched from the Rift built-in on-ear headphones to their earbud style headphones and I really like the upgrade. Blocks external sound (may not be a good idea depending on your domestic situation!) and increases immersion. If you need to add headphones to the Pimax, consider earbud style.

Can you tell me more? Do these fit on Pimax headsets as well as Rift ( which I currently have.) Are they availed through Oculus or perhaps Amazon ? Cost?

Thanks!

They are Rift-specific, so they won't fit the Pimax. But here they are so you get the idea:

Yep I did the same quite some time ago, definitely like the earbuds better than the stock ones.

Perhaps Pimax will come up with something...but I sure like the ones on Rift- no muss...no fuss...?
