BOBOVR M3 Pro Battery Pack Head Strap Accessories, Compatible with Meta Quest 3/Quest 3S,Reduce Facial Stress,Magnetic Battery Swap Design

I am brand new to VR. I went to a VR adventures place with some friends and we were all sweating and huffing by the end of the game and I realized VR is a pretty fun way to be active. So I bought a META3 and I read the reviews of people not really loving the default headstrap. Being the perfectionist that I am, I started researching lots of headstrap upgrades for the META3. I finally decided on this one and I have to say I have zero disappointments. Is it 100% perfect? No. And I'll tell you what few nitpicky things I wish it did better. But first, the good.The GOOD* MASSIVE improvement over the original headstrap. The top strap combined with more weight on the back does an almost magical job of making the whole headset feel lighter on your face and require less effort to turn your head left or right, up or down.* The rear adjustment wheel. I love that thing!! Makes it SO easy for anyone in my family to easily slide the headset on, lower the back till it sits comfortably near the base of your skull, and then turn the wheel to tighten the whole thing up till it fits snug and comfy.* Installation. I'm a perfectionist and I do read instruction books and watch videos to make sure I am not messing anything up. But installation is mostly a snap. Two minor hiccups I'll cover later, but overall, I still would say installation is good. Also, a lot of videos show the user taking the faceplate off to install. If you are like me and that makes you nervous, rest assured, you do NOT need to take the faceplate off. This strap installs just fine without having to take anything apart on your META3.* PRICE. I saw headstraps that were MUCH more expensive than this, so I was a little hesitant, because usually the saying is true, you get what you pay for. In this case, you're just making off like you stole it! Price is very affordable especially compared to other "elite" headstraps that cost much more and have poorer customer reviews.The NEUTRAL* The battery pack. To be honest, I haven't used it. I like the idea that it comes with an additional battery to let you keep gaming longer, but the reviews talk about a loud buzzing if you are trying to charge it while playing. And the tech specs show that you won't even get the full advertised 2 hrs out it, probably closer to 1 - 1.5 hrs. Still, that's better than nothing, and putting the battery on the back is easy and magnetically snaps on, you can literally do it with your eyes covered. If the buzzing bothers you, there are workarounds I saw online. End of the day, if your priority in getting a new headstrap is longer battery life, there are probably better battery solutions out there from different headstraps and neck batteries. But as a free add-on to a more comfortable headstrap and gaming experience, it's a nice little bonus.The WISH IT WERE BETTER* Installation. I know I know, I said installation was good. But there is ONE step in the process that was a kind of a pain to me. The short velcro strap that attaches to the forehead part of the facemask can be tricky to thread into the new headstrap. If you look online people will share what worked for them. And here some people do say taking the eyeplate off the mask does make it easier. I wouldn't know since I didn't want to take that off my mask. Some people recommend using tweezers or other fine instruments. Its tricky, not gonna lie. But just get creative, or even try taking the faceplate off. It's doable, trust me!* Parts. The box comes with two gel pads that are not mentioned or addressed in any of the instructions and most of the online videos I looked up. I'll save you the trouble and confusion. The gel pads are alternate pads to the velcro sort of foam-leather pads that come with the headstrap. You can remove the foam-leather pads and put on the gel pads if you like the feel of that better. I personally didn't like it better so for me, the headstrap was perfect right out of the box. But it would be nice if the instructions mentioned it so you're not left wondering if you missed a step somewhere.So yeah. The good to me far outweighs any of "the bad" on this headstrap. Can't speak to whether it'll hold up well over time or not, but I've been using it for a couple weeks now and I'm a very happy camper. It stays on me snugly for everything from passively watching immersive videos sitting down to actively boxing and ducking and weaving in the Supernatural fitness app. Incredibly comfortable to wear, very well priced, and hands down an improvement over the original headstrap. Highly recommended!

Bought this before I got my Quest 3 for Christmas as I knew from reviews the original head strap was not great. Did a weeks worth of research and Bobovr M3 combo with the batteries was a great deal.The strap form and function is perfect and makes this upgrade the best part. Paired with the quick swap battery that is pretty lightweight and makes for easy VR’ing. Also, nice that it match’s and looks factory OEM.Easy to put together, made VR play a breeze with the quick adjust and very comfortable once you find where you like it (note: you might think you have it the first few times but it took a bit of play hours to figure the adjustment and pressure points that work for me). They said I love it and a big bonus is it all fits in the original Meta Quest 3 case that comes from the package deal.The only bit I had a little difficulty was the top forehead strap loop but also did not realize you could take the face visor off to better attach it. Just fYI!Note: the batteries are not the higher capacity but they still give plenty of play, more than you need really.Overall: 10/10 and with the batteries that I didn’t think I would need it is a 12/10.

Massive comfort upgrade!Great padding and very stable (doesn't wobble around, due to pads on top of the head) and relieves the pressure points on my face that always gave me a headache with that awful cloth strap that ships with the Q3 (can't believe Meta ships that thing LOL!)You can set up the fit on your head/face once, then it will land in exactly the right spot (ie crisp display images; hits your eyebox) without adjustment as soon as you put it on every time from then on (this was one of my favorite aspects of the Valve Index).PLUS you can flip the visor up (using the hinges in the middle of the strap), which is super convenient if you are a developer, so you can hop in and out of VR without taking it off. The pads on top of your head are key to making this work.Comfort is my main concern, but the additional battery is a nice bonus, extending untethered lifespan (a short cable connects the battery to the Q3, which will charge from the battery while connected). Battery pops on/off really nicely via magnets.
