Upgraded Head Strap Compatible with 2023 Oculus Quest 3 S, Elite Strap for Meta Quest 3s, One Click Stretch and Retract Design, VR Headset Accessories Enhanced Comfort Headstrap Replacement, White

My usage and needs:I bought this one specifically for mostly sitting down, but also for low activity mixed reality. I got much less use out of my Quest 2 than I would have liked due to nothing else but the clunkiness of the form factor. Quest 3 feels much more like a product that I can just throw on mostly due to its smaller size, and it’s much easier and quicker to take on and off as needed for quick and frequent things like phone usage or taking a drink of something. That probably killed my usage the most because it felt like an uncomfortable mess anytime I needed to pop half out for a second.This vs others I researched (but haven't used, so take with a grain of salt):There are other options that likely take comfort up a notch. They seem to be larger with more things going on, which defeats the benefits of the smaller, lighter Quest 3 design for many casual users. Some also have a much needed battery pack built in. Same issue. Didn’t want the added weight on my head even if balanced well. Wanted to keep it feeling as close to ski goggles as possible.The product:Designed well. The push button is so much quieter and easier. You’ll usually have to use that, and then ratchet one or two clicks for finer adjustment but it feels so much smoother than ratcheting on and off every single time. While that system functionally works well, it made the experience feel janky, loud, and unnatural. Huge upgrade with the button. The strap is very lightweight. The pad on top is actually impressively soft, as others stated. I enjoy premium headphones and get aftermarket ear pads which tend to be the softest and most comfortable materials I’ve felt. Whatever they used in this beats the comfort of all of those. The reason likely being that its durability isn’t great. Which leads me to…Durability:It’s a very affordable mashup of plastic and Velcro and pleather that probably gets manufactured for four dollars. I expect the pleather to wear out within half a year and the plastic to crack if I do something dumb with it. Based on my last strap of similar quality, if you take reasonably good care of your stuff and don’t use it daily, it should last the duration of this generation. The push button is the most questionable area. Not going to bust it open to see how it was designed, so time will tell. Seems just fine so far.Who it’s good for:- People new to VR/MR.- People who juggle a lot of things throughout the day.- People who need a way to quietly enter and exit the headset next to sleeping spouses or kids.- People on a budget who need a quick replacement for the awful stock strap until they figure out their finer preferences- Your momWho I’m less sure if it would be good for because I just cant comment on it:- Very active users. Broke my rib recently so I can’t test how wild you can get while using this strap.- Very frequent users- Users who will do very long sessions- People who use exercise apps- Kids- People who have made Quest part of their everyday life and don’t mind slower setup for a higher end experience.Lastly, if you’re just getting a Quest 3 and trying to figure out what you need, I recommend just getting this strap first. The experience is awesome but we’re still one or two generations away from this being an easy daily device for constant usage and wide adoption. Until then, it’s a little finicky. So play for a couple weeks, then see if it’s worth going all out on accessories. I say this because I bought multiple things for the Quest 2 that didn’t end up even getting used.This one

The media could not be loaded. Great alternative to the factory head straps. They’re a lot more comfortable and give you a better way to adjust for a more comfortable and custom fit. I don’t play for long periods of time as I’m a VR rookie but for the times I do it’s very helpful. You can even lift them from the center (see video) as they angle instead of putting them over your head and adjusting. These also are a lot easier to keep clean versus the original ones. I highly recommend these especially for the price to quality ratio.

I love VR, but after borrowing a Quest Pro for a while, I realized that the built-in Quest 3 strap is just really uncomfortable, and my face would hurt after just a short while of wearing it. This seemed reasonably priced and reminded me of the Quest Pro strap, so I gave it a try.Pros:This is MUCH more comfortable to wear! It spreads the weight out more, and I don't have to have the straps so tight in order for it to stay on my head. With this strap I can enjoy VR for much longer before getting uncomfortable. The knob/button in the back is easy to quickly tighten and release. It wasn't too hard to install following the included directions.Cons:The knob/button in the back that allows you to adjust the size makes it so you can't comfortably wear this while laying down. This is a bit of a bummer for me, because it still hurts my neck if I wear this for too long, so I like to lie down if I'm going to watch a movie or play a game that doesn't require too much movement.This doesn't work well for a ponytail, so when I do workout games I have to do a weird diagonal, off-center ponytail. This is fine since no one is watching me but it's something to note.

The Meat Quest 3 headstrap for the META Quest 3 does the required job of replacing the strap from META. The assembly was easy enough. It is sided so consider than when attaching (USB C) The Button in the back works as expected. Its way more comfortable than the original.The instructions could have been better. I did figure out the plate for the back of the head. It took longer to realize the two pads go on the head plate. The velcro does work, and I was able to peel off the padding to set then in the proper orientation . (the one with the extra padding goes to the padding on the head plate.I used this once today, but I wanted to sing the praises of the Meat Quest 3 and their lawyers. They also were thoughtful enough to include a message on the bottom of the box saying there is no Quest 3 inside the box!

Let's just be honest: The default Meta Quest 3 "Jock Strap" is a piece of trash.Oh, the "default" strap might be kind of comfortable for the first 20 minutes of wearing your Quest 3 for the very first time... but after that, it's just an excuse for Meta to try to force more money out of you for an accessory that should have been of MUCH higher quality in the first place.That's were this Upgraded Oculus 3 Head Strap comes in. The price is excellent (even when it doesn't come with a terrific coupon), and for my money, that odd little square with the included top strap is what makes it more comfortable for me to wear than any other elite strap I've had to deal with. The padding is excellent, the release and tightening push button in the back makes it easy to adjust, and it doesn't add too much weight to the headset overall. For me--because facial and head shapes can and do differ--it was a perfect replacement for that sad little thing that Meta had the nerve to include with their otherwise very good VR Headset.Best of all, if it turns out that Elite straps just aren't your thing, and you'd rather give a "halo" -style head strap a try, well... this head strap's cost is quite low for its quality, so you won't want to fall on your sword because you spent too much on it.All in all, I recommend this Upgraded Quest 3 Head Strap. Give it a try.
