Description: The Emax X1 is made by China-based VR company Emax. The Emax X1 looks amazing in terms of stats and has some real high-end hardware specifications. With a quad HD display, 60 Hertz refresh rate and a wide 110° field of view it seems to be better tech than the Oculus Rift! But it’s all about the software and they tell us all Oculus software will run on their VR headset! Sounds like the stuff of VR dreams. We will let you know more when we discover it ourselves.

Review: I’m not quite sure what happened to Emax, let alone their headset the Emax X1! It seems soon after showcasing it to a few developers the company then folded! But there are a few headsets out there in the world and they will probably become collector’s items within time. There were a lot of cheaper Chinese headsets at the time as everyone scrambled to jump onto the VR bandwagon, but it was Oculus (Facebook) who killed most of them up by bringing a cheaper, better headset to the market. I personally think the headset was turned into a pair of FPV goggles and then sold (as you can see in the video above).
