Is there a link for that wide heads facial interface?
Ironically, the best head strap for the Meta Quest three is made by Apple. The solo knit headband is the most comfortable and easily adjustable headstrap for Meta Quest 3
Where is the comparison with Kiwi and BoBo? Can you share your thoughts?
Have you used any of the quest 3 straps with batteries to give recommendations to buy/avoid?
As a new Quest owner I was overwhelmed by the amount of options.. I went with your first choice..or a clone (?) of it I've ordered from China for like US$8... This is awesome. That quick release is indeed a must, especially for multiple users, and I can now wear my quest for hours straight. So comfortable. My only complaint is the flimsy faux-leather strap, but hey, for that price and upgrade over the stock strap..
$8 bucks is a steal! haha
@@WudiPlaysIndeed! (RMB59) Thank you by the way, that's what my message was for in the first place.
That was a really helpful and no-BS video, comparing different concepts of products instead of advertising for a particular model/brand.
I bought the 1st place strap and it arrived yesterday. My first few hours with it so far have been very good, and even from the time I first put it on, it felt more comfortable than the Meta Elite strap, mostly due to the soft cushioning. I like the pivots on the side too, which provides more freedom of adjustment to the fit, and the top strap does seem to provide more support than the Elite strap does and keeps the facial interface from pressing as hard on the forehead and cheeks. The quick adjust button is super nice too! First impressions are one thing though, and more time with it will tell for sure, but so far so good. 👍
🙌
this video was super helpful, thank you very much for being specific and detailed. showing each one on your face and exactly how to equip them was really helpful.
thanks champ. appreciate your kind comment.
I use a camera to 3d scan my head. Then modeled a strap that would fit perfect for me. And 3D printed it in nylon for the structure and TPU for the parts that touch the head. I might put a video up when I'm going to make one for my wife I will film the process.
I'd love to see this!
Please do that's really cool
Wow, that is an amazing use case for a 3D printer.
Make a video!
I put a 2 inch piece of foam tape in the center of the top forhead section. That helped reduce some of the side pressure. The designers shaped this thing as though people have a perfectly round head. Most people actually have a flat forehead.
Holy crap that 1st place strap you recommended is glorious. IDC if it's tougher to get in Canada lol, I'm going for it
Thank you man, you described my exact experience. I really appreciate you being actually insightful :)
😂
thank you for test so many of them, you're the real MVP!
appreciate you fam.
Awesome preview, very helpful, Wudi TY
ayeeee beautiful ninja coming through!
Nice thorough review.
I found a cheap halo style strap that I use without the facial interface. I love the front half that rests high on my forehead but hate the back half since it doesn't conform to the back of my head. I'm wondering if it's possible to mix and match them. (remove screw from joint and combine the ones that work best.) I'd love the one with the back head support that is flexible.
Maybe my face is extra narrow, but I’m actually looking for facial interfaces that are more snug on the sides as I get lots of light bleed coming in through the gaps on either side.
I really wish you would have mentioned the name brands of the straps you were talking about. That way I could easily look up other reviews for these products.
Hey there bud... Noted.
Though my thought process during making of the vods were:
The products I reviewed are linked directly in the description and the comment section of the video. You can get to it by a simple click, and I also get a small commission from Amazon if you make the purchase through my link.
All products reviewed are all white label products that means they might discontinue at any time. That's why I spent a lot of time in this video talking about what features we should be looking for instead of emphasis on the brand of the product. This way if the product goes out you can just find a similar build as most of these white label products come from the same factory and sells to many vendors.
Amazing review. The 2nd place would actually be the best one for seated sims where your head rests against the seat, due to the low profile. I have a rift-s and the wheel at the back is big so moving the head around with the wheel rubbing against the seat can get annoying sometimes.
I guess that's the one advantage of being too large for the highest setting of my headrest
Great video, thank you!
Great comparison, thanks for sharing 👍🏽
🙏
Thank you, big help!
I ordered a halo strap from china via ebay. After 5 weeks of waiting it arrived last week. It looked great but it was not comfortable at the end. I tried every possible adjustment and it was always about to slip after some head movement. I taught the halo design is the best way to wear a vr headset after trying many headsets over the years and loving the psvr1 most. The problem is the weight is resting on the sides and not on the forehead like on psvr1. I taught they got that figured out with quest2 but obviously its different with quest3. I ended up breaking the strap and using the hinges with a old quest1 elite strap which is more comfortable now but still far away from psvr1.
If your halo strap has a cushion that pushes down on the top of your head, like the first strap in this video has, then try removing it. On mine, that cushion pushed the strap higher up on my head which made the whole strap loose. Once I removed that top cushion I could wear the strap much lower on my head and everything was comfortable and no longer loose.
I wish this video was released before the 11.11 sales in China. Its just a few days too late for me. I purchased the halo strap without the top adjustment.
I received the cheap halo strap without the top adjustment and I have to say that it's bloody brilliant. So very comfortable.
bought the damonlight right after watching this video. Thanks!
for anyone wondering it's really good! been using it for a few days and I even installed a battery on the back 👍
Halo strap requires the facial interface to be adjusted i felt the same at first but the second configuration on the interface felt like night and day
great video bro
Well I think I have pretty round head - quest 3 facial interface simply isn't that good - I get bad light leak from the sides. Also, padding in top part presses head quite a lot. I think they simply should have made the foam part from some memory foam like material and make the contact parts wider.
Thank you for saving me tons of $!
thanks
this is why I am waiting to get a quest 3, need more 3rd party accessories...well that and I am a brokey xD
nice strap review either way haha
Can you please do a best battery pack head strap comparison video?
Thanks for making this video! Any updates in comparison to the Bobo M3?
I shall pick one up when they are available on Amazon :O
Aubika vs Annapro is the decision I am trying to make at the moment. They both seem to have an actual working battery. After the Meta Headstrap desaster, even though it's the only one charging with the official dock, I really don't want to get another official one, whenever the updated one releases.
would love to hear which one you end up choosing and why. Cheers.
@@WudiPlays i am leaning to the aubika right now. Marketing makes it seem like it will charge the headset faster. (20W vs 15W)
Just ordered something that seems to be a mix between your 1 and 2 spot, couldn't find those 2 in my area, so hoping that helps. Any way you can link to the facial gasket though?
Worried they don't even exist in any form here, can only find silicone
here is the link for the facial interface: amzn.to/47AbTmZ
a mixture of the 1 and 2 is good.
Cheers.
You know bro, probably it was made for lizards (Zucc).
I have slim face with IPD 60 and big nose. That shit press so hard that I feel I will become a pug.
Got AMVR facial interface, kiiinda better, but nose is still coming on the way. So either you adjust that your cheekbones suffer, or your nose, or vision clarity.
Planning to get some halo strap to switch whole weight to my head, maybe it will be better...
Anyway, just for consideration for goblins like me.
Are you going to make an update to the video with the Bobo VR and Kiwi? The Aubika with battery is also interesting.
Tbh not 100% sure. 1st and 2nd place feels very comfy. Probably cheaper too since they are white label.
Bobovr is still my favourite hands down,,,
What about removing the facial interface for +999 fov?
Any head strap usable like that?
I use the default Quest 3 strap (non elite) which i actually find perfect.
But i recently fell in love with using Q3 without the facial interface. You get so much more fov and i feel like i can better find my clarity sweet spot, but it's quite uncomfortable, as you'd expect xD.
Hence I'm looking at these reviews to see if anyone is mentioning my use case.
I like my kiwi design strap a lot.
I have destek they are great
Your review is awesome, man. Please do a follow up with the Kiwi Design, and other brands!
Ok I bought both button-release you suggested, as well as Kiwi (non-battery version). I loved the button-release as it is so easy. However I find Kiwi fits more comfortably. The rotating wheel on the Kiwi is somewhat hard to grip on, a drawback. The material used on Kiwi overall, feels much better than the button-release, more authentic similar to the Quest 3 headset.
@@heyheythecat u stay with Kiwi then?
Thanks for the comparison!
How would you think any of these headstraps would suit a smaller 6-7 year-old kid’s head?
My pleasure.
1 or 2 hands down.
2 for comfort. 1 for ease of access.
Now after using both everyday for months. I'd pick 2 over 1 but 1 is still very solid.
I also have a very wide face (apparently) and found the facial interface/gasket to be very uncomfortable. You talked about a more comfortable one near the end of the video, but I don't see the link?
about to make a video on this but essentially I found taking:
amzn.to/3TnXczd (maybe other option can work as well since most Amazon stuff are just white label from different sellers but that's the one I purchase and I feel is wider than the Quest 2 facial interface. The issue with this is the Cushion pad that come with the Bracket sucks.)
+
amzn.to/41ougJ2 (or if you have Quest 2, any current existing Cushion pad you find comfortable)
to be the most comfortable option for me.
I Bought the Maecker vr head strap for my Quest 3 and so far so good. I also bought the AMVR facial interface which I'm sure is going to outdo the overpriced interface sold by Meta. I do want to say, look for discount codes as well, I only paid $25 for my amvr interface and around $25 for the headstrap.
Could you link the AMVR interface? I bought a generic facial interface, and has little to no cushion. The Meta one despite pricey at $40 is able to do the job. But I am very interested for better options!!
@@WudiPlays it's in the quest 3 section of AMVR's website - I bought one for my quest 2 a couple years ago and I swear by it, the padding is such an improvement for comfort!
@@Noah-jn7ho Oh damn looks legit getting one to see what's up! Nice rec Noah, nice rec!
@@WudiPlays is it any good?
Destek and now ZyberVR (Ace) have the right idea when it comes to comfort and the headstrap being secure. Best of both worlds, halo and elite style... but neither have built in battery solutions
ZyberVR already has a headstrap with a battery, look it up
I am looking for a strap that is easy to lift up (on my forehead) and down for when I'm simultaneously working on my PC developing VR archviz scenes. Which strap would you recommend for easy lifting?
Probably BoboVR M3. Unfortunately they don't sell on Amazon yet so I haven't gotten one to review it.
Did you find one?
i went with number 2 thanks (=
Is the Elite strap compatible which quest3
Elite Strap for Quest 3 is compatible with Quest 3.
Ha, by pure chance I ordered what ended up being your top pick a few weeks ago. I just went for what was actually available to buy in Canada and generally had alright ratings.
what if im the only one who uses the quest? would you say i should get the number 2? is it more comfortable? or number one is more comfortable?
Number 2 hands down. Matter of fact after using the headset for awhile I strongly favor the #2 due to comfort.
@@WudiPlays thanks!! btw did you experience pain on the forehead after like 20 min with the original quest 3? thats what i feel, i hope it will help it.
Nice comparison, however in my opinion a good strap must have a built in battery, for more play time but also for counterweight balance.
These greedy companies are charging £40 extra for a built in 8000 mah battery when you can just buy a 10,000 mah battery for £10 and plug it in.
I found that no counterweight was needed for the cheap halo strap that I bought. It is so comfortable even without a built in battery.
Fo sho, each to their own. Personally I just want my headset to be as light as possible. Cheers.
I've been using a 20,000 mAh powerbank clipped to my belt or just in my pocket with a 3.3ft cable and it's been awesome. Most of the straps with batteries only give you an extra 1-2hrs of battery life and using this powerbank gives me at least 10hrs of use total. And it keeps the headset fully charged no matter what apps I'm using. For example, the Bobo M3 Pro is all using the Q2 batteries, so the Q3 won't stay fully charged and you only get like 1hr of extra playtime with the battery. I get at least 8hrs extra playtime with my powerbank.
It also charges at the full 18W and recharges the headset from 0-100% in about 2hrs, which is better than the roughly 3hrs it normally takes with the Meta power brick. I just ordered the Destek halo strap cuz it looked the most comfortable and similar to the PSVR strap, which was the most comfy VR headset I've ever worn. You don't need a battery for it to be a good strap, and a well-made strap doesn't need a battery to counter the weight cuz the strap will do that itself if it's designed properly
@@dtz1000which halo strap did you purchase? Name or link? I have one which I'm returning. It feels like my heads in a nutcracker. When I loosen it up a bit it droops down and feels like I'm being mushed. I tried all angles and still feels like I have a midget squeezing my head.
@@liquid79 My one is the GOMRVR halo strap for Quest 3. It looks like the first strap in this video that was rejected. The only thing i would do to it is to remove the top cushion because that cushion makes comfort much worse. Once you've done that then it becomes very comfortable. GOMRVR sell another halo strap with an adjustable top strap. I would get that one instead as you might need some asjustment on top. Luckily, i didn't need a top strap on my one at all.
What about m3 pro and kiwi elite?
This ones are recommended by everyone
sorry haven't tried either but the goal is to find the most comfortable head strap and rank 2 is as comfortable as it gets.
Everyone has a huge gap between their headset and the face those manufacturers messed up big time. I don't think anybody even tried to use it before producing it
seriously.
Try the RGB charging touch strap
Why are the Bobo not available?
Right now Bobo takes like a month to receive it and can only be ordered off their website.
I'm waiting for Bobo and Kiwi to be more accessible before comparing with the winner from this video.
And tbh the two winner are already very comfortable. I'd be shocked if Bobo and Kiwi can out do these. Though I sure hope they can! haha
Hey, thank you for the on point explanations for each strap, I've already seen quite a few Kiwi strap reviews flying around in the past week and I'd be really curious to indeed know your preference between your first place Alafly (at least how the design is called where available to me) and the Kiwi strap, before upgrading from my overpriced Quest 3 Elite Strap (already super comfortable).
Also knowing which of the two is more closed headphone friendly, would be a huge bonus to know.
Just watched a few vod on Kiwi looks similar to #2 on many accounts. Sorry wouldn't know how they feel with headphones as I don't wear them. Just buy them on Amazon if you don't like it return it. Cheers and hf hf.
Oh, well if that's the case, would you still feel the Kiwi to be better than your number 1 choice in this video?
@@leots90 unfortunately wouldn't know until I try it. Will buy it when they sell on Amazon. I'm quite torn between choice 1 and choice 2 as far I been using both pretty consistently and they both feel great. If I have to buy only 1 and I have multiple members in my house share the same headset I'd get choice 1. If is just mostly for myself I'd get choice 2 as choice 2 is teeny tiny bit more comfortable than choice 1.
I have a narrow/oblong face type and I can assure you that the facial interface of the Quest 3 is not not designed for me. It is completely uncomfortable and it has light leakage on both sides :(
Nice comparison, thanks.
Oh damn that's interesting to know. My dad has a narrow face and he loves the facial interface xD... So I naturally assumed it works for all narrow face. I guess it's only perfect for specific narrow face :O!
i like the theory on how narrow the facemask is lol
Zuckkkkkk :3
Nice! Thanks much! It looks like you accidentally made the 1st and 2nd one have the same link, though, FYI.
oh smack great catch appreciate yah very much! *Edited it to the correct link now* :D
I've tried a bunch of these and always come back to the default one.
the clothe strap? :O
@@WudiPlays yes! But I'm weird because I always factor in total headset weight and the cloth one is the lightest. Also coming from the PSVR2 I don't really like Halos. However your research was very good and in no way am I disparaging it.
I ordered the Bobvr on Amazon, the downside is it won't ship for a month. So I bought a cheapo headstrap like those depicted, so I can dump the bra strap that comes with my Q3
100%. Yup same reason why I held off on comparing Bob and Kiwi. When they start having reasonable ship time I'll be comparing them with the best of Generic brands.
@@WudiPlays Looking forward to that review!
The Destek Halo strap is much better than the one you showed, it doesn't have that useless piece at the top, just the back and a front one (that can be adjusted back/forth & up/down, like the PSVR. It's the most comfortable Quest 3 strap I've tried yet, though I'm gonna pick up whatever Kiwi makes for it eventually, or the Bobo M3 Pro once they update the batteries for Quest 3, as the current ones drain way too quickly on the Q3, like I've seen some CZcamsrs only get an extra 40mins from the Bobo batteries even though they added about 2-3hrs for the Q2. Once they update those batteries, I'm sure the Bobo M3 will be the strap to get.
But I've been doing awesome with a 20,000mAh powerbank clipped to my belt with a 3ft usb-c cable. It gives me at least 8hrs EXTRA playtime, so you could feasibly play Quest 3 for about 10-12 hours. I've never played for that long lol, but I played for over 4hrs the other day and the powerbank was still at 72%, while the Q3 itself was at 99%. Best powerbank for the Quest 3 that I've used yet. I tried another one but it didn't keep the Q3 fully charged, whereas this one keeps it at 99% the entire time until the powerbank itself runs outta juice. It's awesome. For anyone interested, it's the 20,000 mAh "INIU" brand powerbank. Has a little flashlight on it, is capable of 30W fast charging and has 2x usb-a ports and 1x usb-c port (input & output), of which I believe all are capable of 30W charging. It's a bit heavy but if you clip it to your belt you don't even notice it. I clip it to the back of my belt and have a little Velcro on the quest strap to hold the usb-c cord so it doesn't get in the way.
I also HIGHLY recommend the AMVR controller grips as they have this great feature that allows you to change the batteries without removing the grip, they're awesome. They're also one of very few grips that have a hole punched at the bottom of the controller for the one IR sensor at the bottom, and it doesn't cover the trackers on the top of the controller either. Best Q3 grips I've been able to find, very similar to the Kiwi ones that were on the Q2.
I got the Desteck one and don't find it comfortable one bit. I adjusted the angle and tension and it still feels like I have a midget hanging from my forehead. I much prefer the runner up he showed.
Love the detailed inputs. The main issue with Halo straps though is a bit subjective as I mentioned in the video some folks swear by them but some folks find them unbearable. Regardless I'm glad you found the best match for you, and that is what's important. Cheers.
@@WudiPlays @WudiPlays thanks for the reply man! And you're right, it's very subjective, like many things in life. I've always doing the PSVR headset to be most comfy so halo straps seemed best for me. I'm really looking forward to the Bobo M3 pro once they update the batteries, and to see what Kiwi comes out with for straps and other accessories. But thanks again for responding to your viewers, you just earned a sub from me 😊
That useless piece on the top of.the halo strap can and should be removed. It makes things worse because it pushes the whole strap higher on your head so it becomes loose. Once it's removed then I bet it will be just as comfortable as your one.
Try the DESTEK QH3
Kiwi and bobovr are best. Rip off the material on the facial interface and superglue some velcro and use your own leather foam.
Got my facial interface from amvr today and its nice! Bobovr is on its way 🙂
@ShazeeraTV I hope it works with the bobo. The top part on the amvr interface looks like it may sit where the bobovr top section sits. I've got mine coming soon.
@@ShazeeraTV make a video or a short at least please
Fosho, can't wait to compare to winners to Kiwi and Bobo when they have reasonable shipping time!
So confusing to not give each item its name. Only to click on sponsorized link ?
they are all private label products and not established brands therefore can go out inventory at anytime. so I focus on giving the info on what make the best strap good.
listen if you got useful info from the vod but still don't want to purchase from sponsored link. No one is stopping yah.
But come on your acting like someone who got free food, ate it, and then complain the food is bad.
I find the official elite straps, so uncomfortable! I purchased it also and I have so many pressure points on my face that it’s very hard to wear for long. I’m looking for third-party.
Yup same here! Option 2 + a better padded facial should resolve at least 50% of the comfort issue.
@@WudiPlays thanks I did purchase the one you showed :-)
Update: my elite strap broke yesterday. The cup in the back that forms to hold the back of your head fell off in a couple of these pieces fell off with it. It will no longer attach.
@@simonh7954 did you buy choice 1 or 2? or is this an Elite strap from Facebook?
I wonder why Kiwi hasn't make one for Quest 3
They did but only selling it on their website at the moment. It looks very similar to the 2nd place.
I just tried the Kiwi. Unfortunately, it's like all other elite straps, and it smashed the headset into my face. I think I'd be more comfortable with a halo, but they don't sound very stable. I'm probably out of luck. Don't think I will keep my Quest 3 due to its lack of comfort.
You have the same Ikea wardrobe I have here and I see that it has the same issues...
Lmao
@@WudiPlays In case you ever do an Ikea wardrobe giveaway on your channel, I have one to contribute.
PS: Will you do a follow up vid? See my other comment around here somewhere.
If it ain't got a battery no thanks I myself am looking at the bobovr s3 pro super
I won't be buying the Quest 3 until they get the battery issues fixed.
I had the same problem, the elite strap for the quest 2 is amazing for the Quest 3 is horrible, a waste of money!
bro it meta quest not oculus
bro I was here from the beginning.
just saying it called meta quest not oculus quest
my face: 🌝
Is it a little bit wide like mine? :O
I have a narrow face, and the facial interface is still incredibly uncomfortable - instead of pressing the side of my head, it presses the cheeks to an incredible degree. I just think it's simply a horrendously bad design, made from a matching horrendously stiff material. I bought an AMVR replacement facial interface, and it's MUCH better, even though the band still sucks of course.
