Very useful video! It’s somewhat similar to the design of BOBO. I own the Sonicgrace S3 battery head strap, and honestly, I really like the design of the interchangeable battery pack.
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.
Great review. I'm using the new Kiwi H4 which also has a similar depth adjustment on the side panels, it doesn't have any sprocket teeth but it stays firmly in place somehow.
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.
I use prescription lenses and I can feel the lenses on my eyebrow. If I want to have the screen further away it will cover the speakers so that no good. I have been happy about the Bobo s3 but at this point I would have liked the kkcobvr q3 pro better I think.
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.
nice review; i just received mine, can i charge the battery while using the battery with the Quest? And whats the best way to charge the battery after use? leave it on the quest while charging?
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 wonder if u got a dud battery… I have owned bobo and this one. I kept the kkcob one cause it was lighter and more comfortable. When I play pcvr virtual desktop. 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 :)
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.
Which face cover are you using? I have the AMVR face cover and it does not allow the flip-up option as it does not extend out far enough to clear the face cover.
Magnetic facial interface from Globular Cluster (halo version). It's very good: Website: www.globular-cluster.com/GCF3.html?aff=affItSnPHsr Amazon: amzn.to/3ZO39Z9
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.
I was surprised seeing that the AVP version doesn't have any cushion or honeycomb silicon pad in the back. But it's probably still one of the best head straps for Apple's headset.
i have kkcobvr q3 pro, and yesterday i discovered there is KKCOBVR K3 fan. i was thinking this thing is too expensive (~$45), but unexpectedly stumbled upon it on sale for $28, which is ok i guess. wanted to wait for summer (it've been ~36 celsius for whole two months this summer in Kursk, Russia), but for this money i ordered it right away. i'll share my opinion if you want, when i get it (~5days) p.s. side knobs are not that loose on mine. i'm not able to move googles in those grooves by applying force like you do
Yes, you can share your first impressions. I am testing this facial interface with fan from Kkcobrv, and a review will be on this channel next month. About knobs - are you referring to any position? Because on mine in some it's not moving, and this problem so many users have, that's issue with quality, or quality control.
@@Thomas_Voland oh cool, so it's a bit of competition of: me getting the device delivered and getting my own opinion or you releasing the review and me get opinionated by that (it better be good review then)! =) you mentioned you are developer, or rather you said somewhat like: "that feature would be good for devs on quest". so, are you one?
The reason why top strap is a must… gives u something to hold on too then u pick it up and move it.. hold onto the strap :) without it.. holding in hand and transport is more annoying
Great video, thanks. I'm interested in buying this head strap with an extra battery but I can't find a charger for that battery. Do you know how you can recharge the extra battery if I was to buy this kit?
@@vilzio89 what do you mean? The biggest FOV is without light blocker and as I showed, I use it like that very often. This head strap is great for mixed reality with maximum fox.
I am not sure what you mean - this is a head strap, how could it rest on the nose? I mean if you really want to, you can lower the Quest without the facial interface so much that Quest will touch your nose, but then the lenses will be too low 🤔
@Thomas_Voland thanks Thomas. I tried other similar straps with no facial interfaces but the weight of the headset was too much for the strap so the lenses move down and touch your nose, which is unconfortable. I'm glad this strap don't have that problem
@@andvaribekho I have never had a head strap which couldn't hold Quest's weight (I have about 15 models currently for Q3). Every head strap has a strap in front to hold Quest on the preferred height, and a few can hold the headset without it.
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

Hi may i ask how were you able to get in contact with KKCOBVR? Ive been looking at their products and ive wanted to make a review or collaborate with them for a while. if you could let me know how to get in contact with them it would help me a great deal. Thank you!
probably one of the best reviews I have seen really identifies pros and cons

you really go into detail i appreciate it very much, keep on
Great review. Loved that you even mentioned lying down.
Great video been looking into getting this strap and its sold me, to the point but in depth. Thanks dude!
Great review. I'm using the new Kiwi H4 which also has a similar depth adjustment on the side panels, it doesn't have any sprocket teeth but it stays firmly in place somehow.
Review of Kiwi H4 will also be on my channel, but before that, a lot of other videos.

Love it!!

@Thomas_Voland are you using the halo version for the magnetic face mask?
@@IMIute yes
@@Thomas_Voland awesome thx just ordered both
Loved the comfort of this headstrap. More comfortable than the s3 pro for me. The battery buzz however was a deal breaker for me.
@@generalagony Only old models had problems with battery buzzing. As far as I know, they also replaced the part for people who bought it before.

This is a great battery strap!
You might like the new Kiwi Design H4 halo strap
@@joffrey6831 it is totally different head strap. Review will be on my channel soon.
@@Thomas_Voland Yeah, I don't think you can lift up the headset with it... However you can still use it without facial interface
I am very happy with my Bobovr battery/headstrap.
Very cool! But what model keyboard is that? Looks very good for left handed gaming

Tak, ale tylko side loadując aplikację np. USB Camera.

That head strap needs a lightblocker for more fov

any way to make it work or fit in quest 2
Maybe some 3D printed adapters
Good review i subscribe
Sent mine back ... Too much battery buzz!
Old version was buzzing, they send new part (the one where battery is attached) to clients who got older version.
@Thomas_Voland the new one still buzzes... Headstraps with swappable batteries all suffer from the same problem
@@mrmods7912 I wonder why you think that swappable battery makes the difference and how did you test all of them
@Thomas_Voland it's clear as night and day.. a swappable battery buzzes more than integrated...I don't know why... But they do!
does it rest in your nose?
