    About the front knob design, I bought the Q3 Pro 3 months after this video, they fixed the problem about those knobs but they also made the visoring up feature almost impossible, it doesn't go up smoothly anymore and is much harder to do, still think it's very much worth it.

    Hey. Great work - really like your videos. I just took off the facial on Bobo S3 on my quest like you have here. It is really nice when you, as me, prefer to use passthrough.
    I almost chose the Kkcobvr q3 pro. Went for Bobo s3 . Will most likely get the kkcobvr for the quest 4. Really nice to be able to lift the front up and the distance wheel also.

  • @RileyELFuk

    I picked one of those up, £35 delivered. It was a great upgrade over the BOBVR M3 Pro, with a bigger battery that copes with the drain better too, keeping the headset over 90% until it's depleted. A no brainer as I already had another battery for my Pico 4.

    You helped me figure out that I really need this strap, and specifically variant without the battery.

      I take that back specifically about the battery-free version being just as good. Even if the battery is kinda meh and I'm not going to use it, the battery-less version lacks ANY padding at the back or the top strap. The back is just cast rubber of some kind, and top strap is plain flat. Also, the cable clip isn't included. The front is properly padded though, so I kept it for now, to get used to it and in case I butcher it while experimenting)

      @@SunnyOhm Yes, non Pro version is worse in many aspects, however top strap is useless for most people, because the whole point of halo strap is to not have to use the top one. The back padding is bigger issue, but for me in many head straps it's not bad when padding there is missing. Version for Vision Pro also doesn't have back-padding.

    I have this head strap in the battery-free version and my opinions coincide with yours. The concept is good but the implementation of the two sliding wheels is poorly implemented, the wheels would have to remain in the desired positions and the connection tape would also have to guarantee that the display would remain in the chosen location. As it is, we can't keep the Q3 in the correct position when we don't use the facial interface. I use the head strap with the Globular Cluster facial interface and comfort is reasonable but not perfect exactly due to the 2 implementation defects described. I have already ordered and am waiting for the Globular Cluster head strap to be delivered to see if I can finally get the comfort I need. I only use the Q3 in simracing (with cable) and comfort is as important as the performance of the Q3. Thank you very much for your reviews, they are always very detailed and cover what is really important.

      Just a question, I have been looking on the strap, the exact same strap as you have, and I was wondering how good the strap is to take off weight from your face, even though it doesn't have like the counterweight of that magnetic battery, and how good padding is and if it's really a good buy for like $25.

    Really enjoyed the video. I received mine, but I find it very stiff to move the facial interface like you do at 7:50. There are individual notches that it moves through when it moves up and down.
    Has anyone else found similar? Trying to move my facial interface up and down tends to move the strap that connects it to my head a fair bit so when I move it back down I find it doesnt move to exactly where it was sitting and I have to play around with it a bit. Getting it to move down an equal number of notches on left and right joints is difficult.
    I am thinking that this is still the best compromise for what I want. I found the Kiwi H4 Boost quite hard to play games like Walkabout golf where you are constantly looking down, but really liked them for watching movies and AR. This does seem to give the ability to make it like an elite strap OR a halo strap which I really like.

I can fully discharge battery and quest be on 90 percent battery. And swop to second one it go back to 93 oercent while playing! For me the battles perform equal to bobo or slightly better from my in game test. Sometimes I use mixed reality watching stuff in vr content or video playback then it goes down faster. But bobo performed the same in that aspect to :)

    • @Thomas_Voland
      @Thomas_Voland  4 місяці тому +7

      Battery from Kkcobvr even officially is only 15W and testing a battery performance on VD is pointless. When you render games on PC instead of Quest, of course every head strap will perform similar. Dedicated hardware should be used to measure exactly how battery work. Otherwise, you may draw incorrect conclusions.

      Manual says that you can charge the battery while it's still connected to the Quest, which is strange, because usually it's not possible and it's not explained if it's a pass-through or just charging the Quest from the battery. So hard to say if it's better to charge them like always - separate or not.

    I just bought it after watching your great review. But mine can't do the flip-up motion like you did in 7:49. The joints are too stiff. Did they change their product? And the battery still produces a buzzing noise while being used, and it's actually noticeable even when watching movies with a moderate volume.
    On another note, will you be releasing the review of their k3 facial interface anytime soon. I'm currently looking for a new facial interface and waiting for your review of that one. You recommended the globular cluster to use with this strap but they don't sell it in my country and the import fees are too high.

    • @Thomas_Voland

      I have the same problem with mine on the “flip-up” motion.
      It has way too mention tension/ratcheting and can be forced but is practically useless.
      I’ve seen two reviews show it as a smooth motion so I think they’ve changed the model and I’ll be trying to return mine.
      I found, even with no facial interface I couldn’t even get convincing clearance between the quest and the forehead part of the strap.

    I use the KKCOBVR for my Apple Vision Pro, and it works very well. While I run the AVP barefaced with Immersed, I don't do that with the Quest 3, so I don't think there would be any advantage for me to switch to it for Quest 3 from the S3 Pro.

    • @Thomas_Voland
      @Thomas_Voland  4 місяці тому +1

    why no links to Quest 3 refurbished? its clear you a super fan of Meta yet like all the others who like you will not talk about or have any links for Quest 3 128, quest 3 512 refurbished. Yeah BOTH come with ONE YEAR WARRENTY. You just LOVE all those that SUB to you right? Aw.. won't make any money off those so..shhh.
    Yeah said they do not .. find one. how did I learn? NEW EGG. Yeah I bought one. $379 one year warranty

      What? No money for it? So how this affiliate link to refurbished Quest 3 is working in your opinion? www.dpbolvw.net/click-101282474-15639798?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeta.com%2Fquest%2Fquest-3%2Frefurbished%2F&cjsku=899-00649-01. Should I link whole Meta's offer of what?🤯
