I got the elite strap it's very comfortable. But feel like it should've came with the headset
It definitely should have. The one they sent was a JOKE! But then the elite's started breaking and that's a whole other problem. Not all do so hopefully you got a good one Annie
My ratchet mechanism broke and it cant be tighten anymore...
@@jaybratt mine broke so I just use duck tape
@@James_Mason9001 oh no lol. You can contact support.oculus.com and they'll replace it for free
What strap can you recommend?
I feel like to really appreciate the one with the battery pack holder you have to have a battery pack on it. The weight of the battery pack counter balances the headset.
It definitely adds the balance and a nice place to keep the battery, my problem with this particular battery strap is the hinge feels awful and like it will break at any moment. The squeaking from the band and the battery arms worried me.
Does the elite headstrap come with battery pack holder?
@@bekeneel no, it costs more
I like my kiwi with a side battery pack when laying down or out of the house. The bobo is for heavy use where I'm very active
Yea this, my boboVR doesn’t feel the same without the battery. Even if it’s dead I keep it on there
so thorough and I love how you got this guy's unbiased opinion. Most videos I've watched seem to be subtly pushing commissioned products
Thank you Saul! We don't ever accept paid reviews on this channel to help keep things unbiased. Accepting the product itself is all we do and if we don't like it (as you'll see in many reviews 😂) we don't link to it. I love your comment and support though, thank you!
The Kiwi head strap is my personal favourite. I have had no comfort issues at all with this one.
Same here! I love it. I've got the battery one
This is such a good summary of the different headstraps thank you! Nice to get feedback from people with different sized heads lol! Loving the transition shots/transition music!
I'll pass your compliments on to our amazing Jon, camera/editor/ and musical composer lol
Cool
He had the Frankenquest sitting too high on his head. With a battery strapped to the back, and properly adjusted, the DAS is one of the most comfortable options out there.
I used it for years with the Quest 1 but I never found it quite as comfy with the Quest 2. I didn't use 3D printed adapters with the 1 like I did with the 2 and that could've contributed to the lack
Very informative as we are shopping straps after using the base/original strap for 2 years. I believe we were really leaning towards the second one ...until we saw this video! Thanks for posting this!
Great video as always! Absolutely love the quotes as well 🤣… It’s definitely great to also see a different opinion on the straps as well!
Thanks Skater! I'm so glad you joined our discord too 😊
I bought the Destek thanks to your recommendation. It's great! Thanks a lot. I hate how some channels are biased because of the price tag, the quality is just fine.
Glad to be here to help. Price doesn't matter to me, it's all about how comfortable and solid something feels.
The first halo strap is the one I have and it's great. No pressure on the face. Once you put a battery on the back using a 3d printed bracket, it is really well balanced too. The battery acts as a counterweight to take even more pressure away from the front. I also fitted a VRCover silicone face shield with their improved cushioning pad. It's definitely worth investing in better straps and accessories for these things. BTW, I use a Belkin 10000mah battery pack, looks great and gives you a few extra hours.
Nice Roy! Idk if you saw the notes but Josh actually came back later and swapped out for that Halo. He just liked how quick he could swap it between people without a lot of adjusting. How do you like the Belkin? I usually recommend Anker as I know they're good but the belkins look spendy at first glance.
@@jaybratt You see! Comfort wins out every time haha. But you know I might get that X-super for games that have you flying around all over the place as it does look nice and solid. And anyway, you can never have too many accessories for your gadgets. 😁 After The Fall, here we come. 🤘The power pack was around 20GBP, Belkin portable power pack 10000mah. I cannot remember if I got it on a deal. It has a nice shape to it with rounded edges and is nice and compact. Looks at home sat on the back of the Quest. I don't use a link cable for my pc games, I use virtual desktop. Awesome.
@@royevans4581 you need the battery for sure then! That sounds like a good deal. They're all a bit spendy now but could be due to the holiday
A great and very helpful strap comparison for the Oculus Quest 2! Thanks for a great job!
Wow Alexey that means a lot to me! Thank you so much!
Gotta say the BOBOVR M2 does take some figuring out, to get it right, and I agree the company info on how to wear it is confusing. They show that there should be no gap between the top of the Oculus and that top band that goes on your forehead but I find that impossible in order to get comfy. The back part also goes down lower than they suggest. But I do find it a million times better than the default strap and it sits comfortably without putting loads of pressure on my face.
Have you looked at the new M2 pro? It's mostly popular because of the magnetic battery pack but they got rid of the top strap and replaced it with just a short little strap at the front that attached. Interesting design choice: th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
Great video good recommendations, I bought the BoBoVr M2 halo strap because of it. I'm very happy with my buy great product
I'm so happy to hear that Kyle! Thank you!! 😁
@@jaybratt I want the new BoboVR halo strap with battery pack which seems to be even better. Will you review that one?
@@Gonzax 5 days ago 😉 I got you
th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
@@jaybratt LOL!! I just found out about it today. Thanks a lot, watching it right now and subscribing not to miss more stuff in the future. Thanks!
Thanks gonzax! We'll be reviewing a new charging dock from Bobo in the next week that charges the batteries too!
this is a really good video that BIG youtubers would make, very good editing and camera work :) i subbed have a great day everyone :D
Wow that means so much to me! Thanks Walmart Reekid haha
@@jaybratt excited to see the community grow and to be apart of it :>
@@walmartreekid9315 thank you and welcome!
@@jaybratt thank you helping me find a better headstrap haha
@@walmartreekid9315 we've also got individual reviews on the channel of pretty much every headstrap put there. My personal fav is the BoboVR but as you can see in the video it's not for everyone:
My Bobo review: th-cam.com/video/ZpoKXItvrvE/w-d-xo.html
I have the halo strap since day one and was ok. After some getting used to and adjusting it, it really does feel comfortable for long periods of gaming for things like Half Life Alyx, No Man's Sky and watching movies.
Idk if you saw the update but Josh ended up coming back for the GomrVR Halo strap lol. He ultimately liked it better because it is easy to adjust between him and his brothers when they'd play. I love halos, they aren't perfectly designed but they're the best we got.
I ended up ordering the BoboVR M2 Head Strap. Thanks for the great reviews.
I think this is the first JayBratt vid I watched, very detailed. I would like to point out that everyone's head is different, so results will very definitely vary. It's very very likely everyone will have a preference for another strap. Although the BoboVR M2 and Kiwi pro do seem to be quality in general and most people seem to have a great experience with them.
I agree. We're all different but those two straps are my go to when people ask for a quality strap. Thanks Joking!
As you said, I prefer the wrap style, I watched Jay's latest video and chose the adicop a2 pro, I just got it, so far so good, my face is comfortable.
I have many straps and that last halo one has been my favorite by far. It actually got me to start using my quest again.
The BoboVR M2 there at the end? It was my favorite for a while but they launched a new Pro Battery edition and it's so good! th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
@@jaybratt for sure. I've had the new one w/battery on pre order for about 4-5 weeks now, but it says shipment date isn't until late December. I suspect reviewers such as yourself are getting first dibs. Want to part with your yours? ;)
@@yoster77 haha well they went for sale day 1 with a huge stock and instantly sold out. They only sent a handful to TH-camrs, I think like 10 channels got them and most only got 1 battery to try it with. Bobo loves us luckily. They're getting many more sent to Amazon but with the Black Friday stock up from sellers Amazon is struggling to get everything to the right warehouses :(
@@jaybratt My shipment date went from Jan 1, to Dec 1 as of yesterday, to.. coming today.. as of 5 minutes ago. No clue how THAT happened but not complaining lol
How are you liking it?
i got the orzero strap, it is super comfy! i can use it for longer game sessions and for me it dosent bobble at all! i love the click noises on it and the little tighten wheel. 10/10!!
Nice! I think this video shows each person will have different opinions with their head shape but I'm always happy to hear someone finds one that works really well for them. Thanks Aiden!
Had the Elite strap from oculus/without battery, it broke in less than 2 months of lite use. Purchased the BoboVR M2 with the battery pack a yr ago. No complaints, wear it even laying down on my back or sideways.
I love the BoboVR! Although I tried to break an elite strap to see how easy it was and I had NO luck: th-cam.com/video/jmCl2E-eyXQ/w-d-xo.html
Though I haven't tried a halo headstrap, having glasses I prefer the ones that kind of push it towards my face a bit more. I have the first one he tried and I quite love it, even for longer play sessions. The crank does feel odd but I get the impression it's supposed to work that way.
I do have 3d printed standoffs to keep my glasses from hitting the OC lenses.
Oh, and the battery pack for my Anker battery is awesome and counter balances it perfectly.
If you ever take the plunge a set of Rx snap in lenses is amazing when you're used to wearing glasses. They're spendy but so nice, you can see perfectly, and not have your glasses pushing in, get the lenses closer. It's really nice!
I like the Anker as a balance, although I got a strap with a swappable battery built on and it's really cool. Video will be dropping tonight when they go for sale on Amazon
@@jaybratt Thanks for the reply. Problem with the custom lenses is that my kids use the Quest as well and constantly taking them off would be annoying I think. The standoffs work great though and don't bother non-glasses people while I never have to worry about my glasses touching the Quest lenses.
Edit: One other must have accessory (that I think comes with all Quests now) is the silicone rubber foam cover.
@@chasz3776 The silicone is coming with all due to them recalling the face pad yeah. Take a look at these lenses, they have a magnetic design to pop them in and out quick. Nat and I each have a set for our eyes and we can swap them fast: th-cam.com/video/6AxQaUPOwks/w-d-xo.html
@@jaybratt Oh, that's cool... thanks for telling me about them!
@@chasz3776 you're welcome 😊
This was fantastic! 👏🏻 I might have to try the GoMRVR. I do really love everything about the BOBO, except the knobs on top. They sometimes dig into the top of my head and hurt me. :( This looks like the BOBO without the knobs.
Got held for review? Idk why
Yeah the Bobo knobs were the only weird part. I've seen people swap the rear pad up there to make it more cushy. They're just velcro so you might play around with that
@@jaybratt Oh, I didn’t know that! I’ll have to play around with it some more. 🤔
I’ve had comments show up in my notifications, but then never show up on the post. Maybe I need to check my comments waiting for review. 😅
@@VRValGaming you probably do. They delete after so long
my message is too late but if the the knobs on top hurt you, you can use a strap
The Elite Strap gives me MASSIVE headaches, but only when I’m wearing the headset. I strap it to my face, and as soon as I relax my eyebrows, the headset goes down and it’s super blurry, even if I have my eyebrows completely relaxed as I’m putting the headset on. I got the Elite Strap because I had the same problem with the original strap. I could only play for 40 minutes. Someone made a vid about how to maximize comfort by adjusting the top strap, and that’s where it made everything go downhill for both head straps. Now I’m getting the Bobovr M2 Pro.
This was a fun ride. I like Joshes personality. Anyway... You should do more of these videos
Thanks Vali! We definitely mean to! These are just a lot more work and time spent on them when we do but we have a married couple who had never tried VR before video coming.
The Halo straps are amazing for Social vr games since you just have a lot more comfort for looooong sessions, Ill probably get something like the Destek for faster games though
It makes sense to have two. I wonder is someone will come out with a halo that has some sort of optional face strap that holds it tighter? If the Quest 3 came with Halo strap and they housed some of the components in the back it would make it wobble much less and be far more balanced.
@@jaybratt yeah I do hope so
@@jaybratt That's a bangin' idea!
@@-AT-WALKER psvr got crap for weighing too much before the headset launched but then teardowns discovered they actually added a counterweight to the rear to help it feel balanced and comfortable. Brilliant innovation we haven't seen since. Once price becomes more approachable I believe we'll see more of this in the industry again.
I have the one from Rebuff Reality, which is very similar to the eyeglo one, but mine doesn’t wobble around and is really comfortable.
They have awesome looking battery packs!
Literally just got my Rebuff Reality head strap. Next day delivery using ground because the place is local lol. Haven’t played with the strap yet but feels good from the fitting process. Battery pack is a bit awkward on it but still fits somehow and doesn’t throw the balance off thankfully.
@@chris210racer I'm interested in their vr ears but they look huge and potentially heavy.
@@jaybratt I had the same thoughts
This guy has really helped me get into VR, I remember that he got me to actually get a PSVR and now I can finally get my oculus quest 2
Hey Izuku, thank you so much! That's like the ULTIMATE compliment for any VR TH-camr I think! :D
@@jaybratt thanks to you too!
For my the bobovr fits best when the back is very low to the base of the head. It anchors its to the curve and prevents it from slipping
Yeah I rock mine under the base of my skull too. Got used to that with PSVR
He should have tested all the headstraps with glasses. That's a very important comfort consideration.
It is but it often the facial interface that affects the glasses more than the strap. If you have a wider facial interface that accommodates your glasses any head strap shouldn't push them into your face. Personally VR got me to start using contacts because glasses and vr is just an awful mix ☹️
@@jaybratt you can get prescription lenses to go over the oculus quest 2 save on glasses spacer and a great option for people like myself that can’t wear contacts :)
True! I have a set and they are the BEST! So much better than fighting with your glasses
@@jaybratt VR Wave??
@@kingpekka115 someone made a video reviewing the different prescription lens companies: th-cam.com/video/Ck-QPwyCavU/w-d-xo.html
Reloptix seems like the best just because of the price
Got the bobovr strap today, and I absolutely love it. Thanks for recommending it!
Hey you're welcome and I'm glad you like it! It's my favorite! Even over the Vive audio strap
SUPER HELPFUL! My 10 & 12yo kids share a new Oculus and I was looking for a better, more easily adjustable strap since they trade off all the time. I was positively overwhelmed with choices & had the Orezo & FrankenVibe one coming in - now we'll try your two favorite! Great video. Nicely done!
Hey thanks RainGoat! I would definitely stick to the Elite style straps for kids as they tend to fit their heads better. The Destek one Josh liked here could be great.
Another good option: amzn.to/3tySFN9
@@jaybratt Thanks for taking the time to reply. I cancelled my previous orders and went with your two favorite to trial. (Ha ha, the additional one you mentioned was on my short list - so I had one right!). I also wanted to mention that I really enjoyed your demeanor & presentation. I've watched a fair number of these now & yours was one of the most pleasant and usefull yet. I play on our X-Box and will give this Oculus a try once I discover a convenient way to do it with glasses. Thanks again & keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! Let me know which one you end up preferring.
Also about glasses, it's not cheap but the best way to go is Rx Lenses: th-cam.com/video/6AxQaUPOwks/w-d-xo.html
@@jaybratt I pushed for the Halo one you liked but the kids actually preferred the Kiwi one you referenced above as an additional option. I think for young kids the simplicity was the selling point. As for the glasses, for now I did the inexpensive version where it holds on some bluelight blocking scratch protectors for the kids and it was only $60 for two lenses for me that can be magnetically changed out. It's probably not the best solution but it was 1/3 the price of the best and I haven't even used the Oculus so I don't know how much I'll be involved. Thanks again for your engagement.
@@TheKPDX glad to hear you got it sorted and the glasses idea would be great if I had a spare old pair lol. Thanks RainGoat!
The best setup I found was using the oculus pro strap and adding a velcro belt that grabed on to the logitech symphony speakers and the strap itself huged my forehead allowing me to remove the face gasket. I now have no face fatigue. I recently ordered a face gasket that has a fan on it but the difference is the face gasket with fan does nott hug the facial tipical rim but it goes from the cheek bone to tthe top of the forehead. I bought it and I'm going to test it today. but so far, that velcro strap is the best.
100% agree. The last one (BoboVR), is my absolute favorite. I find it doesn't put any pressure on my face or give me a headache. Best for longer VR sessions.
IMO, the back piece, with the tightening knob, should definitely go below the knot on the back of your head, more towards the neck. Feels more stable that way. 😊
It's so nice but have you looked at the new M2 Pro model? th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
Would be great to see the same testing but with a person that wears glasses as it changes the dynamics of the design due to pressure on the arms of the glasses as well as the ease of applying and removing the headset. Halos in particular make it much easier to apply and remove when wearing glasses and less pressure on the glasses
That's a good idea Anthony. Seriously VR and glasses still do not mix well. I have a set of snap in Rx lenses and they make such a difference. Josh, the guy in this video, actually came back later and swapped for the original halo. He decided ultimately he liked how easy it was to swap and adjust.
@@jaybratt hey man. just stumbled on your video here. I'm wearing glasses and putting Quest 2 on is such a drag and a pain coz it pushed the frame to my face and nose. This is coming from using PSVR and boy oh wow that headset is really glasses-friendly. Could you suggest which headstrap that most resembles the comfort of PSVR please?
Try VR without glasses. VR is fake depth. So glasses are likely not needed
VR simulates depth so if you need glasses to see clear beyond about 5 ft you'll likely need them in VR. Some people's prescription is mild enough they can forego them for comfort but even for me who has a pretty low rx I still need something in vr (contacts, lenses..etc.) Sadly!
Sadly nothing on Quest is quite as comfortable or glasses friendly as the PSVR was. A simple halo strap like this one: amzn.to/3K7Icxo can work decently because the lenses can be left out away from your face. More often than not the facial interface is the bigger problem as it may be too tight for glasses. Some people use a halo without the facial interface for glasses. Either that or invest in some rx lenses. They're AMAZING for glasses wearers but they are not cheap: th-cam.com/video/6AxQaUPOwks/w-d-xo.html this company is down to around $100 for a set last I checked though
Been on psvr since day one. Bought the quest 2 yesterday, and couldn't last 2 hours with the stock strap. Looks like i need an halo strap. Because i have went over 11 hour in my psvr with zero discomfort. Thank you
When I tried the Frankenquest, it was definitely too front heavy until I strapped a battery to the back and everything just settled in. With the built in headphones, it just can't be beat. I returned my elite strap and my BoboVR strap back. I still prefer Halo straps but I just can't find one that I like. So unless I can frankenquest the Halo from the PSVR which is the supreme strap in terms of comfortability IMO, the DAS is the way to go for me.
OMG PSVR was the BEST! I'm so glad they're sticking with the design for PSVR2: th-cam.com/video/1GVOpGaoZng/w-d-xo.html
I liked my Franken a lot with Quest 1 but 2 really needed a counterweight. I'm using a BoboVR M2 Pro now which has a magnetic battery. I really like it but a PSVR strap would still be the best!
Somehow the stock strap didn’t hurt my head. The only reason I upgraded is so it could change tightness easier.
It's not a problem for everyone, or some of us just deal. I know I had a gear vr back in the day that was SO uncomfortable but back then it was just my headset. Now I tried it and it's AWFUL!
My issue with the BoboVR M2 is that the back doesn’t cup your head like the elite strap. If it did it would get a firmer grip and not wobble as much.
There's an M2 Pro coming next week I will be reviewing, they mentioned many user requested improvements, I hope this is one of them.
Here is a tip: Velcro a front eyepiece pad to the back of the DAS strap and it is sooo comfortable i can wear it for hours with no discomfort (with a heavy counterweight battery)
Ok...this makes me feel better. I could _not_ get the Halo to work on my long faced skull but the FrankenQuest is perfect.
*it really is all about your particular shape and nose. Lol
Absolutely right Jenna, all our heads are shaped different... like snowflakes :D
The elite strap completely changed vr for me I couldn’t even play for 30 minutes with the strap the quest comes with
That stock strap is like the old gear VR's strap. Just awful!
@@jaybratt It is really insidious by these big companies making inferior crap and basically forcing you to buy something that should come standard.
They justify it as "we make it as low price as possible so anyone can buy it"... annoying!
great!!! with so many third party offers I was overwhelmed. Now I just buy the "cheap" one :D
Haha yeah there's a link in the description to the "cheap" Destek one. More straps have come out since that I really like. My top two now are:
BoboVR Battery Pro Strap: th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
Kiwi Elite Style Strap: th-cam.com/video/H2oXXOQyxis/w-d-xo.html
@@ODwaalO awww the kiwi elite wasn't out yet when we made this video but if you wanna hear more thoughts on it: th-cam.com/video/H2oXXOQyxis/w-d-xo.html
@@jaybratt hey man, i’ve been looking for a cheap accessory combo ( knuckle grip, headset strap, facial interface) and i couldn’t find any content online sadly.
can you give some recommendations?
thanks 🙏
How budget are we talking? This would be a decent setup for a not terrible price: (I haven't tested each one but they're all based off designs I've liked)
Strap $23- amzn.to/3IEwBpb
Grips $15- amzn.to/3vv3uRB
Facial $21-amzn.to/3vwSvqB
Yeah I also had the same issue with Bobo Vr wobbling too much and even kind of being warm to wear.
True. The forehead usually let's a lot of heat out so covering it definitely can add to that.
Hard to beat my Quest 2 setup.
1) Best strap is the *Vive DAS* (super comfortable, solid built-in headphones, has springs for easy peak & venting, and looks awesome if you like black).
2) Get a 3D printed adapter set from Etsy, to mount the deluxe audio strap.
3) I also added the Apache comfort strap (over forehead) & rear battery strap from *studioform creativeVR.* (I used a simple rubber band to keep my 600mAh battery from sliding out). I get over 6 hrs in _Population One_ ☝🏼
4) like most ppl suggest you need the *VR cover* face plate & halo bumpers or Kiwi grips
DAS is a cool one but spendy. I never did the battery pack on it though which I've heard really completes it's comfort as mine was a bit front heavy on the Quest 2.
I've done 3 hour session with the stock strap the only thing I had a complaint of is the headset being front heavy and it digging into my ears if I didn't put it over them
Ah no the problem I have is it bounces on my nose a little bit, and if u adjust it differently the screen would be blurry. But I'll buy the elitestrap, it's cheap on the official site.
Those are the main problems, if you have a strong neck it's not as bad but many people end up with neck strain over it.
Hey Neel, I might caution you. The elite strap is comfortable but there is an issue with the plastics on some and just snapping. Oculus has guaranteed them for 2 years so you can get a free replacement but some people have had to go through the trouble of multiple replacements: www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/k9aep6/3_elite_battery_straps_all_broken_after_less_than/ (it still might be worth it to you but just something to consider in your decision)
I'd love to see what he thinks a few months down the line. The most important thing in this video for him was that it didn't move about. I've found that after a whole that became less of a concern and it was more about comfort for longer sessions especially those that are more active. The bobo is my current fav. The elite strap seemed to give me headaches at the back.
He actually came back and swapped for the GomrVR Halo strap later on. Said he just likes how easy it was to adjust. I'm loving the new BoboVR M2 Pro. Have you seen it: th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
@@jaybratt yes and have already added to my wishlist! Just not available in UK amazon but I think Ali express has them at least. Thanks for your content

I love my kiwi battery head strap. I would have got the bobro v2 if I would have researched a little more. The halo strap seems interesting.
This video is immensely helpful!?! Once again another great video !
I'm so happy to hear you found it helpful! Thanks NSSG!
My Bobo vr has been attacked! 🤣🤣🤣
I agree!!!! 😡
Thanks for the video. It clearly demonstrates the importance of different head shapes, and sizes. The personal preference on the type of clamp, and how long do we use our quest.
For me, it's the all-in-one, frankenquest because I have a big head too.
Our head shapes are all unique, like snowflakes lol
Thanks, I liked the Destek Adjustable the most and I ask for a Quest 2 for Christmas then imma put the Destek Adjustable on it.
Nice! Christmas is only a few days away no Timmy! So exciting!
great video! while i dont mind the stockbstrao for short sessions ive been trying to find a food one to order for more comfortable longer sessions!
Several great straps have come out since we made this video. My top choices
No battery: th-cam.com/video/H2oXXOQyxis/w-d-xo.html
With battery: th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
Man I felt like I was like considering both of my elite straps had been going strong.... then both broke just 1 week apart from eachother.
big oof!!! Sorry to hear that. It seems like they're fine... until they're not!
Great video, thanks for making it. Something to keep in mind though - there's massive difference between how it feels in the first five minutes compared with an hour later. I have the FrankenQuest and it feels just fine for about 30-45 minutes. However, the longer I wear it, the worse it gets. After an hour or so it becomes intolerable.
I did the Frankenquest for years and with the Q1 I felt more ok but with the 2 it just didn't feel as balanced. Funny you mention this because a while after the video came out he asked to try the halo again and ended up taking it as well. He still liked the comfort/stability of the other better but the fact he wouldn't have to adjust the halo when he passed around the headset was a deal maker for him.
Just picked up the BoboM2 and a VR cover interface, can't wait for the upgrade!
Heck yes! I'd love to hear what you think once you get to try them
I got myself the Halo strap (not the bobo one, the other cheap one), and at first I didn't really liked it, coming from the official Elite strap, but once I tied a powerbank to the back of the strap it instantly became my favorite since it balanced out the headset really well, definitely in the league of the Rift S when it comes to comfort. (albeit, twice as heavy coming in at around 1kg, but it also extended my headset's battery life to around 8-10 hours)
Josh in this video actually came back later and swapped for the same strap. He just really liked how easy it was to adjust for other people. Halos are the best when you get them balanced. Did you see the new BoboVR with a snap on magnetic battery? It's really cool: th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
@@jaybratt Ah yeah, saw it in the VR discord a few days ago. Looks pretty cool and will be checking out your video now!
@@hanakomisa a VR discord?
I had the Bobo VR M2 and sent it back. More or less every chanel recommend the Bobo, but it wasn't really comfortable and the worst was, it slipped off my head. And not only from mine, from my wife's head too. I suspect that the problem lies with the too small cushion for the back of the head. This way mach less stability can be built up. So yea, I can't recommend that strap either.
You're right Mike it's definitely not for everyone. I really like it but I have a massive head it hangs onto tightly. I do have to keep the back part a little lower than you're supposed to to get that feeling of stability I want though. It's not perfect so I keep trying others. I should be reviewing the M2 Pro this next week. Fingers crossed it'll be perfect!
@@jaybratt Hey, I totally understand that. Actually, I really like halo straps. I loved the Halo on my PSVR. Therefore, I hoped for a similar experience from Bobo. But the strap unfortunately slips far too much. And precisely because we also do sports with it, it is not suitable for us at all. It's a pity.
@@semiBJoker have you tried the other Halos? The first one in this video Josh actually came back later and swapped out for because he liked how easy it was to adjust for other people to use.
@@jaybratt No, I haven't yet. I have to admit that the connection to the glasses scared me off. Looked very cheap in the pictures and little confidence-inspiring. But if you can recommend them, I'll take a look at them again. Tomorrow the Elite Strap from Kiwi arrives first. Let's see how good that will be. ^^
@@semiBJoker if you like facial stability the Kiwi is probably the best strap there is. It hugs your face but balances the weight on top of your head still. I don't personally love the face huggers but if you do that's a great strap: th-cam.com/video/H2oXXOQyxis/w-d-xo.html
💡 I think they like your name "Jeremiah"... (just don't call him Jeremy) 😁
Haha a lot of people seemed to be surprised to hear that, they're all used to Jay
For some reason seeing him shake his head around and his expressions with each new strap CRACKED ME UP. :P~~
haha the shake weight... for your head
Good video. Very informative
Thanks C F I appreciate hearing that 😊
Hello Jeremiah
Haha you knew that didn't you? th-cam.com/video/uv1oPR_LA4E/w-d-xo.html
@@jaybratt yeah but hearing someone say it is weird 😂
@@jaybratt also yeah my name is “Samuel” but I haven’t been called that in years, it’s always been Sam
@@RexReality I thought your name was Kyle? Kyle Rex? 😂
Elon musk from wish?
Yup 😁 or Derek from YT Veritasium
ill on mosque
just kidding more like elon mosque from versace
Thank you for this i think im going to get the halo strap
Hey Bastion! After this video Josh actually came back and swapped for that Halo strap he liked. He liked how easy it was to adjust for letting other people play it.
@@jaybratt Good To Know
thanks for mentioning your personal preference. I would go with Halo style strap which I like the most. but I didn't know which brand.. I wound go for BoboVR M2 one instead of generic Halo thingy.
I actually didn't like official elite strap at all because of tightness on my face/eyes.
Thanks for video.. it helps me alot. I will order BoboVR M2.
Hey overdriver 😊 before you order the M2 have you looked at the new pro model? It has an awesome battery system: th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
That was SO helpful!
Glad to hear it Scott!
Great video! i bought the Destek strap and i can say for sure this is the best headstrap out there.
That was a comfy one! I'm so glad you liked the video also Devvvy!
Great video I got a Panda VR Halo Strap and at first I didn't like it but it slowly started to grow on me. I almost pulled the trigger to buy another one
Haha, here's an off camera secret, after we stopped he actually asked if he could try the original Halo once more and he ended up taking that one home. He liked both but he thought for sharing it was just so much easier to adjust lol
I’m happy with the DAS and the AMVR battery bracket
I had the DAS for a long time and liked it. The bobo got me though, so comfortable!
I got a das for my vive and I also got it when it was 100bucks so when I got my quest 2 it was a no brained I love that thing a solid strap with good built in headphones can’t beat that for already owning it 😌👍👍👍
I rocked the DAS since my Quest 1. I found it ok but never quite as comfortable on the 2 as it was on the one. I've now moved onto the Bobovr strap with Bionik Mantis headphones. They aren't quite as good for audio but the comfort of the strap really made up for it on my head shape.
That's awesome! Now I've decided the one that I'll buy!
Did it come in by now? How do you like it if so?
@@jaybratt It arrived yesterday! I got the bobovr m2! Now playing is much more confortable...
The only problem for me is that I sweat a lot with it on my face haha
Thanks for sharing
Quality content - loved the video 😊
Hey NickDotVR!!! Thanks buddy! Good to see you!
This kinda helped thanks! 😀
I'm glad it offered some insight. We have tons of other head strap reviews. This one is my current favorite but the company is launching another one soon: th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
X superhome was my first. Same exact thing on Amazon Called woodoo elite. Noisy crank, didn't like the sharp edges with my ears.
Now waiting for upgraded kiwi elite with kiwi battery strap.
The Kiwi Elite came out after this video but I was quite impressed with it: th-cam.com/video/H2oXXOQyxis/w-d-xo.html as far as face hugging straps this one is by far the best. I think Josh would've chosen this one if it had been out at the time.
wow great take on that bobovr. considering that is almost the only most easily accesible option I've got here in my country.
I'm glad to hear that! This was long before the BoboVR pro line was out too. Idk if those are available though: th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
@@jaybratt Pro is available. with the battery pack. but small quanity. just waiting for my delivery now 😁
Only other ones I've tried is the default and the Kiwi elite (which I think is basically the same as the official Oculus elite one), but the halo is so much better IMO. Best one I've tried yet by far. Takes the weight off my face, and I can put the back strap low on my head, so it will stay on even if I do a handstand! I got the iovroigo halo strap... Don't know if it's the best one like that...but if "halo" means it rests on your forehead, and the back part can go down low... That's the only proper way to do a VR headstrap IMO.
I really like halos too! PSVR was a halo and was one of the most comfortable headsets we've had yet. It also had a counterweight built into the back, revolutionary! I can't wait to see what PSVR2 does and I'm rocking a halo on my Quest 2 always!
I just came across this video & wanted to say I just bought the newly improved bobovr m2 pro headstrap that comes with 2 battery packs/charger & replacement pads to customize the fit for the headstrap. my son said he absolutely loves it. he's 10 & we just bought the quest 2 with resident evil included for him for Christmas. I did a lot of research on headstraps before making my final decision & actually found this on Amazon and based my purchase off of an amazing & detailed review by a guy who bought one for himself where he included LOTS of pictures and a couple very detailed videos of the item. It seemed to be the best product for the quality of play we were looking for & since I had tried to play RE a couple times myself before finding the new headstrap, it was obvious to me that the included headstrap was not meant for extended play or even a good level of play because we never could get it to fit just right & it was entirely too loose for some of the physical movements required to play the game. I loved the amount of information included in this video. I definitely have more knowledge about other headstraps now.
Preference definitely makes all the difference, for example, I'm trying to find one that is the most comfortable to sleep and lie down in xD
That's a tricky one. I found the Kiwi Elite with a neck pillow as it does a good job of keeping the weight off your face. The stock strap not only has the weight but the elastic further pulls that weight back into your head. The kiwi strap was what I finally landed on for this: th-cam.com/video/UU0HX1Ogl0g/w-d-xo.html
I’ve gotten the elite strap and the bobo strap and I’m a big fan of the bobo strap it is very comfortable
I fully agree! The Bobo is awesome! Have you seen the new Pro model with the swappable battery? th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the help man
Glad to be of help Darth! 😊
i had the regular straps for a couple of months. it was fine. apart from the hair getting stuck in the straps and it hurting. but today. the slider to tighten it broke so i cant put it on my head tight enough.
Oh no! Perfect reason to upgrade. You might consider battery straps if you want extra play time: th-cam.com/video/c44K09Biyfg/w-d-xo.html
I might get the htc vive one because I’ll put a battery pack on the back and boom balanced👍👍
That's a good option but I got the BoboVR M2 pro strap now that has the hot swappable battery and I love it! th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
BOBO VR M2 PRO is the best out of at least a dozen head straps that I have tried. Highly Recommend.
Yay!!! So glad you and I have the same winner! Best headstrap there is!
Should test the aubika battery one. Seems like the oem but only 60. Similar to style he liked. Can't wait to test mine tomorrow just ordered. Psvr would be cool too but gonna wait for gen 2.
Hey Fox! I really liked the Aubika one and the price is hard to beat: th-cam.com/video/gSHUr_xGmDI/w-d-xo.html
Psvr2 is looking great too!
So I might be getting the elite strap with battery and idk if it is worth it or not should I get it?
Soooooo, I have a really big head and with the oculus elite strap the sides of my head start to hurt after a while, what one do you guys recommend for people with bigger heads
The Kiwi elite that came out after this video seems to accommodate some sizely noggins 😊 th-cam.com/video/H2oXXOQyxis/w-d-xo.html
It’s Christmas morning and I see it in the fron room 😊
Your guest - hey this Halo strap is so comfy i can use long time but i ll take the steady one instead coz it is so tight like the previous one !! So dumb! 😂
After we stopped filming he asked to try the first halo (not the bobo) and he ended up taking it home too! I was so annoyed he didn't say that while we were still recording lol
i love the one with the head phones
which one would help reduce forehead pressure having to constantly adjust and mess with headset after playing for 2 hours
The stock strap puts a lot of pressure around your eyebrows and cheeks, if you want less of that pressure I'd recommend a Halo type strap. This is my current favorite halo: th-cam.com/video/nLZv6-HyTyc/w-d-xo.html
Oh, also, the quotes were the best! 😂
Could you believe he didn't like the Bobo? I was shocked 😲
Hey where did your other comment go? I see it in my notifications but not on the video? 🤔
@@jaybratt Yeah, I was like, wait, what? 😆
I had used the stock strap with 2 different paddings from Amazon, it wasn't very comfortable and still hurt the back of my head. Just recently the right clip of the stock just broke and now I have wasted 40 us bucks on stock strap padding.
Frankenquest is the way to go.
Was curious to see feedback on the Kiwi, but this was still really helpful. The oculus alone eats my whole face, so can’t do the forehead strap thing unfortunately. Also constant headaches means I have to be careful, but the stock strap puts all the weight in a tight band digging on my head and on my cheeks because it’s so high. Can’t really understand why they’d put all the posterior counter weight on a strap that can’t be adjusted down lower. It’s like wearing a heavy crown that just wants to pop off all the time. Ordering a Kiwi and can’t wait to see if it helps.
This was unfortunately made before the Kiwi came out. I did review the Kiwi and I really like it: th-cam.com/video/H2oXXOQyxis/w-d-xo.html Has yours come yet? What did you think if so?
@@jaybratt It will arrive tomorrow. I’ll let you know!
Good review
Thanks so much Alexander! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I got the elite head strap and I've enjoyed it but at the 10-month mark it actually cracked I hooked it up online and it seems to be a known manufacturing defect I'm assuming it's some sort of pressure point on the flexible plastic but I don't know why it would snap or crack like that when it seems to be flexible
The Oculus elite strap? Yeah there was a big deal about a lot of them breaking. Seems like something in the plastic just dries out over time and snaps. They guaranteed free replacement for 2 years after many broke so hit em up support.oculus.com and they should replace it for you 😊
You should try a 3d printed strap called the gearhead. I'd kill to know how it compares! It's a halo style one. 10$~ to print
I'll look that up and see if I can get one. I don't have a 3D printer yet sadly
Awww the gearhead reminds me of Rick and Morty lol
Jay, would you rec the Kiwi or the M2 Pro? I want the M2 Pro, but that flip up feature on the kiwi be looking as nice a free lapdance ticket.
Hahaha, honestly those are my two favorite straps and they're both great. The M2 allows you some ability to move it up and see out but not as much as the Kiwi. I prefer the M2 pro myself, the balance and that battery are phenomenal but both straps are winners.
I bought the destek one on Amazon cause it was pretty cheap it was only 25.99-30 bucks so I bought it and it felt nice on my head and I wouldn't be able to rate it because that was the only elite strap I have tried but I had a really good experience I suggest you buy it
I'm glad it's working well for you Joe!
