I used 200g of counterweight and an apache strap from that Studioform Creative guy, already had them lying around from a previous headset, so can't comment too much on the default comfort, but with those I'd say it's one of the more comfortable headsets I've used and I've no issues using it for a few hours, headsets like the G2 beat it but it's high tier, little below the top. Audio with the KDMAS is very good, slightly better than the Vive Pro and Vive DAS for me, but still behind the Index/G2. Don't even bother with the SMAS, it's trash and worst than the Q2 stock audio. KDMAS Has the advantage of being on ear if you prefer that, however. Distortions are borderline non-existent and I had to actively look around and do some testing to really notice them. They're technically present on large FoV, but it's maybe the outer most 10 degrees of my vision, which is basically nothing with 160 degree FoV.

If you're thinking about buying the 8k X, I advise holding off. Pimax is teasing a huge announcement this month, calling it the biggest event of their company's history, that they have something new which would make a great "grand prize" for a contest they delayed which previously awarded an 8k X as the top prize, while a few comments they're made very strongly sound like they're coming out with a new headset, possibly even with aspheric lenses because the COO said "You would be interested" to a guy who complained a lot about headsets lacking those kind of lenses. It could be marketing hype that's full of shit, but I'd at least wait to see what they announce this month.
