Few key points if you're looking for a "review" rather than first impressions:
- New battery has a 10,000 mAh capacity, just under double that of the old BoboVR batteries.
- Can't use the old batteries on the new S3 Pro strap, they simply don't fit/connect
- I can still hear the fan buzz WITHOUT over ear headphones on, it's slightly* less noticeable but can definitely still be heard when using the Quest 3 built in speakers. It's a loud fan in my opinion. Only really for fitness/intense sweaty useage cases.
- Can't hear any buzz/noise from the new battery, that issue seems exclusive to the old battery/M3 Pro.
- The battery charges the Quest 3 pretty quickly, took my Quest from 0% to 10% in about 15minutes
- You can buy spare batteries but they don't seem to be in stock yet
- Current price is an introductory offer and it will be rising in price in February
I love bobo but did you buy this or get given it? Pls be clear on such things as it matters...
Thanks for review.
Also the obnoxious music level is way too loud. You have a good voice we come for so pls prioritise that over crap chillbeats Haha
Future reference...please talk about audio. Audio is everything and you dont mention if this has headphones and or how headphones work with it? As earbuds and other options are a problem with many strap setups.
I must have a fan when I play. I use a bobo one for everything. So a fan is a nig win for me but noise level is important but again that's why I would prefer an audio discussion in your review.
@@eldenringer6466 It's clearly a paid first impressions disguised as an actual review.
@@chan13153 “clearly” 🙄 Hardly. He’s likely been sent one to check out in a video, as with other TH-camrs, but it’s hardly glowing given he doesn’t like the fan, amongst other things. If he was shilling it’d be nothing but praise, yet it’s much more like an unboxing and first look 🤷🏻♂️
Just received it (5 days after ordering, from China to Europa, superfast). The fan works fantastic, much better than the older fan Bobovr made. This one really cools off your forehead during intense games. The fan hardly makes noise up until 30% and then already cools off nicely. That is in total silence. When playing a game I can set it to 100% and don't even hear the fan.
Much more comfier to wear than the M2 Pro, double battery life.. very worthy upgrade.
I'm beginning to wonder if there is unit-to-unit variance in fan. But given it has 100 levels of adjustment it should be possible to tune a sweet spot that keeps fan silent but working.
I'm going to be honest I suffer from motion sickness when I play VR but the one thing that absolutely helps me out is having a fan going because it stops me from getting too hot and uncomfortable and completely stopping me from getting motion sickness I have to put a fan on every time I play anyways so the addition of it coming included into the headset is something I'm highly satisfied with
For anyone who has trouble on airplanes, turning on the airflow can help a lot. (just another connection between motion sickness and cool moving air being helpful)
I do not think this fan will work as good for that. I am curious though
@@joseandresjulienbarriere8786 You're probably right. A full external fan does help though (at least it helped me back when I was new to VR).
@@erikjohnson9112I think it might help a little, and maybe distract your brain but im not sure how helpful it'll be
Do you attach a little fan to your shirt or what do you use, my sister gets bad motion sickness but loves VR
As someone who does a lot of pistol whip\synthriders\bsaber, the fan sounds like a god send. Additionally id have my vr p10s in so that should mute the fan sound. The fan was the selling point for me
Dud pistol whip not look terrible on quest 3 mine looked blurry mess ?
@@delj3875 use Quest games optimizer tot make it look way better
@@delj3875 nah it looks smooth and crazy fidelity specially with quest games optimizer on quest 3
Beardo, you never mentioned that the battery is 10,000 mA. Or the 20% discount if you have purchased the M3 from BOBO, and the upgrade path for the battery. Feels like you were rushing to get this out.
Yeah the video says its a review but clearly the video is more like a first impression
He who posts first, gets more views.
@the-biggest-turnips He changed the title. Initially it said review. Clearly it was click bait. Now he can make another video with the words review on it to get more clicks
Thanks for your honest optinions BB.
I ordered the S3 Pro last week as soon as they announced it.
It'll be my first battery headstrap for my Quest 3 and wanted to benefit from the discount and the bigger batteries.
Shame about the fan noise but doubt its something i would use anyway.
“Active ventilation, not sure what it means” when there is an obvious fan on the picture of the device. 2 and a half minutes and I can feel the quality of the review
@the-biggest-turnips it was shown way more then a second or two. Also he probably saw the box before the video recording even started, probably saw at least 1 picture from it before it arrived.
where does it say review?
I ordered mine 3 days ago and it's on its way, so I'm really looking forward to watching the rest of this video. Particularly since I just bought my WE less than a week ago and I've never used anything but the garbage stock white strap
Damn if you're going straight from stock strap to Bobo it's going to be a GAME CHANGER! That stock strap is horrible, Bobo is so comfortable. I'm very comfort focused and thats why these straps get my vote, the battery and cooling are cool bonuses for me really
@@BeardoBenjo Yea I decided to get the Q3 over a PSVR2 (I own a PS5) primarily because all 4 members of my home absolutely love it. That said, adjusting it from one person to the next is a nightmare as is the shirt play time and long charge time.
I would love to have ordered a 2nd (if not 3rd) B100 battery to accompany the S3 but I couldn't find anywhere it's available. Please let us know if you get any info on that if you don't mind.
Thanks again for an excellent and detailed review on something I bought blindly.
@@Apac1226They will be launched at the end of q1 with a new ”super charging stand for quest 3”.
In the same boat going from the stock strap to the S3 PRO ordered mine on the 23rd this will be my first BOBOVR product but they still gave me the 20% off discount. Can't wait for it to get here the stock strap gives me a headache due to how tight i have to get it, It does not like the shape of my head at all!
As someone who gets a lot sweat when playing for extended periods of time i can see a use for the fan.
I currently play with a fan blowing in my face so i'm curious if the headset fan could work as well as that.
I get drenched, so a little head fan wouldn't even cut it. I put an actual fan aimed full body. I also remove the facial insert which along with better FOV for my face type helps with cooling.
The little Bobo fan for the quest 2 was great to prevent fogging at least. It doesn't cool you, but with it and a Buff, the lenses stayed clear and dry.
Hi just got mine 2day I'm loving it I don't no if u have noticed yet but there is a button on the side of the battery to view the charge level
You could be right about the fan, but hearing a uncunfortable noise is a lot better than having your lenses fogging on the middle of your play season so... yeah i guess it is good to have it than not.
@@the-biggest-turnips yep, fan does not blow IN, only around
And the fan makes it unnecessarily expensive.
The buzz you're "hearing" is probably becuase you have the Razer headset over the headstrap, so that vibration the fan creates is being exhasterbated by the Razer headset picking it up and passing it along your earcups. Try it without the Razer headset.
Can still hear the buzz from the fan without my Razer (or any other) headset on
@@BeardoBenjo absolutely no noise from the fan at 100% on my S3.
Yours might be a bit faulty.
Hey @BeardoBenjo
Why are you still using the M3 Pro rather than the S3 Pro in your latest videos?
Really curious on this.
What a strange idea to add the fan? I would have thought an audio solution would have been more popular.
Keep up the great work!
I personally would've preferred a built in audio solution, fogging and sweatiness isn't an issue for me so I'm just not the target audience for a fan. I guess some out there are overheating though, must be a reason they thought to add this.
Probably helps I live in the UK, always bloody freezing here
@BeardoBenjo I actually need a headstrap with a heater. I live in bloody Sweden!
I quite like the fan as I am diabetic and my face gets hot, wearing glasses means that if I am heating up in the chops I need some means of cooling, I do have a mobile air conditioning unit where I play so turn this on. A good idea for me at least, of course, not everyone will want the fan option.
@@BeardoBenjo the point is, they already sell the anti fog attachment, just make it compatible and call the day
yes, fan is kind of mandatory for vr in tropical country, it is so hot here, we only do vr at night and even that need to be under air conditioning room, otherwise we will be sweating like a pool. 😢
Got the M3 recently and like it as I loved the halo design for my Q2. That the S3 has a bigger back cushion and holds better makes it tempting. I'm not interested in the fan as I just have an actual fan blowing on me if I'm doing cardio intensive VR games. The battery/fan indicator is useless as a solo user as the light "beep" when the battery runs out is a gentle enough reminder for me while playing.
Hope they offer up a cheaper version without the fans or indicator as I like the better fit/comfort aspect.
The fan makes a lot of sense for playing intensive games like FitXR or Beat Saber. BoboVR expects the spare batteries available in Q1 so it won't be long until we can order a spare one.
5:21 It does still have a button to check the battery status, it's small integrated into the design at the right of the battery.
The fan was a selling point for me. Mine always fogs up when it is cold, just for the first 15 mins or so. Having a fan to keep it clear once it's all up to temperature sounds great, even if it is a little loud. I don't plan on having it on all the time.
Let us know if the fan helps with that!
@@FleaOnMyWiener Received mine yesterday (UK). It's really nice. Very comfortable. For comparison, I only have the Quest 2 elite strap with battery and the original Playstation VR. It's as comfy as the Playstation VR for sure. I've always thought the halo design was the way to go, and it's so nice to finally use a strap that keeps the weight off the cheeks. It is pretty well balanced, but maybe still a tiny bit front heavy - I occasionaly need to nudge it upwards from time to time, but I may not have fine tuned the adjustment yet as there are lots of ways to tilt and extend bits. I think because it's no longer airtight around my eyes, it hasn't fogged up yet so haven't had to use the fan. I suspect that it may do the job keeping the lenses clear though. I did try using the strap without the eye guard like a quest pro. My experience was that it gradually worked its way down so it was resting on my nose, but again that may be down to me just getting the adjustment right. Without a doubt though, this is a lovely strap. The fan is great and much quieter than having a fan on in the room!
I could see the use of a fan at summer time when it is about 35 degrees (and most people dont have aircon where i live). Then i would a 100% switch some noise for some aircon
Ordered mine day one and it hasn't left china. Did bobovr send out review models? Your only the second youtuber to have this for review.
I played Palworld for like 12hrs yesterday and had a huge red indent on my forehead😂
Do u play it with regular mkb or controller instead of motion controls or did u adjust motion controls to work for swinging and throwing? Is it enjoyable the way u play it as of rn?
@@faydzet2nd I use the quest controllers with its button layout from UEVR because motion controls don't feel nice with this game, you still have to press the buttons. you can find tutorials on TH-cam on how to change your view to 1st person and making the head invisible so you can see your arms and stuff!
You can do motion controls???
Not 12hrs straight right? Don't see how that would be even possible.
No. You don't need to put battery on strap to check its status. It also have button (on side) and lights. And you don't use a fan to cool yourself off because you're sweaty, but to prevent your lenses from fogging up.
lol The Fan is why I want it , my glasses always get fogged up. :)
I'm perfectly fine with the M3 strap I bought a few months ago...but I really look forward to the B100 batteries...and whatever adapter they offer to use those B100s with the M3 Strap.
Not interested in buying the S3 Strap though.
The only review I need to watch on this, BB! Edit: I think I will wait until the publish more details about the upgrade kit. The fan and the digital display is not really interesting for me. Even less with the noise the fan seems to produce
Where is the air of the fan directed to and blown out from?
your greasy face
Your face
@@SongStudios Not helpful due to lack of details
@@the-biggest-turnips It sucks air in and directs it onto your face inside the headset. You have to have it installed Perfectly and make sure the pad sits in front
There is actually a button on the battery, but it is on the side of the battery rather than the center which you can press to check the battery level without having to attach to the strap
Def. the best headstrap for TH-camrs with affiliate links, lol!
Its not called pokemons anymore, its Pals now.
Oh shit yeah sorry, I'm stuck in the past
A fan would work perfect for times when your hot, no need to always have it on though. Its just a nice addition for us in tropical weather.
I've just noticed that there's a little button on the side of the battery that tells you how charged it is. That's in addition to the percentage charge shown when it's connected to the headset.
You didn't mention a very important bit of information which is; Does the battery on the headstrap actually keep the Q3 topped up? If it does not, then how much does it extend the Q3's battery life? I know the M3 did not keep the Q3 topped up (a couple of people report that it did, but most report that it did not) which is the main reason I ended up going for a different solution.
Just by looking at its specs it should be able too. I use a 10,000 MAH 20w power bank on my quest 3 and its able to keep the Quest 3 fully charged during even intense gameplay. My battery life was about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I would assume this should be similar.
@@chan13153 If your battery life is 2.5 - 3 hours with a 10 amp hour battery you aren't keeping the quest 3 fully charged, unless you're referring to the "battery life" on the powerbank itself. Also you need more than 20w to keep the quest 3 fully charged during "intense gameplay". For example mine needs a minimum of 22w to maintain charge.
The quest 3 has an internal 4.5 amp hour battery, which will get you around 2 hours of gameplay, a 10 amp hour powerbank attached to it should then get you around 6 hours.
@@jimmydesouza4375 I'm referring to the battery life of the power bank itself. And by intense gameplay I mean asgaurds Wrath 2, Virtual desktop (PCVR) etc. Total battery life should be somewhere around 4 1/2 hours. I mostly just hotswap the batteries that I own so I get unlimited playtime.
Your forgetting about the fact that these power banks are usually about 60-80% efficient. The power bank I used was from anker as well. Anker 20w PD 10,000 MAH power bank. I have also tried other cheaper ones and they give me similar results.
Does the battery keep up is the most important question. My current solution claims 20w output but doesn't keep up on some games. No point switching if this isn't better.
@@jimmydesouza4375 I was referring to only the powerbank. I have tried several 20w PD powerbanks and they seem to all maintain the quest at 100% during intense gameplay.
Did you end up using it as your daily driver?
I’m a fan of people who are not a big fan of fan components
Fan's defo designed for me lol, living in Australia and always sleep with fans and love the sound of fans this fan will be good for me
I think the honey comb for the bottom to keep a good grip from slipping. Also the top knobs are adjustable and also slide out if you don't like them. Looks higher quality too plastic wise. Not trying to fan over it but might get 1 just wish they were a little cheaper
I didn't like the top pads so I took those off I FREAKING LOVE THE REST OF IT THOUGH
Finally the new one with new batteries
i get sweaty on EVERY single VR game i play because i put 100% effort into having a good time. i am 28 and i still get zits on my forhead because of VR. I've been waiting forever for something like this to come out - i suggested getting a small neck fan to counteract the sweating issue. it is going to be a GAME changer for me. 1 question i have: can we use the old batteries to swap out when the current one is dead?
I have the M straps for the Quest 2 and the Quest 3. I have never heard the buzzing.
Had just been listening in the background, but thankfully looked up in time to see your notes that there are actually indicators on the battery after all 😂
I’d already ordered this the second it went on sale, so just waiting for it to arrive. Already have the M3 Pro, but plan to return it now 😅
Happy to hear it’s very comfortable then. I am a sweaty bandit so the fan is something I very much anticipate using. I had one to attach to the Quest 2 and it made a massive difference for fogging, though this one sounds like it blows more onto the head, than clearing through the lenses… will have to see then.
I was able to fix the buzzing issue by attaching a battery only when the headset battery is low, maybe 30% or less, try 15% or less if you can still hear it. Hope it works for you!
Yo dude, according to Bobovr the new battery does have an led on the battery. You can’t see it unless you push the button on the battery.
Because this is the S3 PRO with the built in fan… I’d imagine they will release a non pro version without the fan at a lighter weight & a cheaper price
Yeah potentially, obviously you can just not use the fan, I won’t personally use it because the noise would annoy me so a slightly cheaper version without it would be great!
Thank you very much for this review. I am wondering how comfortable it is with headphones? I have a steel series headset with smaller earcups then yours which fitted perfectly on my Quest pro.
Thanks for the Bobo update mate. Personally I've still very happy with my Q3 Elite battery strap (original one replaced for free with latest 2023/12 batch btw). Also, I already use a desk fan blowing on me so I doubt there would be any advantages to using the Bobo fan. Maybe something you can compare later. Thanks again mate and cheers.
The noisy fan wouldn't bother me. I'm hoping it will help in Supernatural which is a phenomenal workout experience.
The thing which is bothering me is the comments I've heard on two reviews now which is that it feels like a light breeze so my worry is it won't be strong enough.
Ayo i saw some comments that said that you have no idea you are so Bad etc... And i wanted to say bro the video is very good keep going!
Thanks bro i will definitely be getting this when i get my quest
Fan is a nice feature to forget about till you need it and maybe then you'll be listening to some loud exercise music, lol. They'll probably put a charge % screen on a dock down the road and hey maybe the battery will last long enough that swapping might not even be necessary. Appreciate the honest first impressions. I ordered one as my current swappable extended battery option killed itself. I think it overheated and damaged the terminal pins spring. While some might be upset this didn't come out sooner I am gambling that they've taken their time and tested this thoroughly. Will be my 3rd headset battery. Started with the Meta elite strap and we saw how that failed after a month of use. Hibloks seemed promising and worked well, but now I am waiting for overseas mail for the replacement part. Cue circus music in my background.
Wish I didn't get the m3 right before this was announced 😢 but I do appreciate the upgrades they offer. Just wish they made the old battery compatible
Watching this again, I think you must've been given a prototype battery!
In their latest video it does have status lights and the button check is on the side of the battery. Weird yours is blank!
Bobo headstraps always the way to go 👍
"Don't use scissors if you're a child..."😆
One of the biggest problems, if not the biggest problem the previous headstrap had was the batterypack not being powerful enough to charge while playing. Has this been adressed??
Can’t believe you forgot to test i.e mention this lol
Edit: missed your pinned comment. Thanks for that :)
Can you charge the new 10,000mah battery on the old twin charger from BoBo??
Doubtful. I think the bottom pins are different
I think the fan quality probably differs from unit to unit. Mine is whisper quiet and at least at 50 I can't hear it at all but it has a very strong cooling effect.
I have an after market silicone face mask cover and with it in place, i get absolutely NO air on my face or anywhere from the fan.
Use the M3, had th bobo headset on my quest 2, loved it. The M3, must be me, just can't get comfortable with it, just feel too much pressure from the facial interface rather than the headstrap taking the weight.
It's not just you. I loved the M2 and used it every day without any discomfort. Bought the M3 pro as soon as i could and gave up with it after 2 days trying to get comfortable. It's been in the box ever since 😔
Noise cancelling earphones might be a better option if the fan is too loud, i find plugging ears to be much more isolating for sound than big headphones when wearing accessories like a hat.
I mainly use my quest for fitness with beat sabre, thrill of fight, pistol whip etc, so the fan for me is great and the noise not an issue under the circumstances. I can turn it off when not needed for other games. The indicators are nice, but a more solid, stable and comfortable feel is again great for me.
The head fan was an absolute seller for me living in Australia! 😂
I preordered this! First bobo, but my nephews bobo didn’t like it too much because it moves if I’m turning my head
Okay, I don't know if anyone knows about this but Meta apparently has made some changes to the design of the headset so that it now directs some of the cooling air for the headset through the inside of the headset. When the headset is cold and I wear it, it starts to fog up, but after a while the fog just clears and I can feel a little breeze of air inside the headset. So there's really no need to put a fan on the head straps anymore I think. Also I really wonder what's the point of putting a display on the outside of the headstrap which you will never see when you're wearing the headset. They might have easily put a button on the outside of the strap and when you click on it it can light up an LED facing towards your face in kind of Morse code fashion. Or a better solution is to just replace the fan with a vibration motor. When you click on a button outside of the headstrap the vibration motor on the forehead will vibrate according to the level of the battery. I also believe that the back design should change, like it should combine the battery and the adjustment mechanisms all into one. I think I will pass this one and wait for the new battery adapters for the M3 Pro.
@BeardoBenjo. Thank you but we have our own imposters.
Can't wait to see the one they make for Vision Pro.
Vision Pro needs SOMETHING to counter act the weight issue by the sounds of it, the first company to solve that will win big
Hopefully someone will produce an accessory that prints money so I can afford one.
Since this headstrap has a monitor, it can probably play Doom.
The fan is a great idea, it makes me consider buying it. The little breeze might be just enough to keep me from sweating.
is possible that the new charging dock for the batteries have a reader
I had the m3 pro and it felt very noticable front heavy, no matter how it was adjusted battery on or off, didn't like that too much and got the kiwi headstrap instead. Felt really heavy and bulky overall compared to the kiwi for me too.
how does this version change the sound quality if you are not wearing headphones ? I had a Bobo for the Quest 2 and the 90 degree angle just killed the sound quality, so i never considered this type of design for the Quest 3.
I've been trying to get one of these but it's incredibly hard to get one ps5 when they launched hard....
Does anyone know if this charges thought past trough via Quest 3 charging dock. Or do we still need to charge headset and bobo battery separately.
Yeah very good question! 😅
The top head pads can be removed and or adjusted
Looks pretty dope. I use a Frankenquest 3. I use the Bobo stand alone battery kit.
When they add a decent sound solution, I'll consider a Bobo HS.
@BeardoBenjo. No check, no go.
🤯 How did he get his S3 Pro so fast!? I ordered mine on January 24th and it's still sitting in China and has yet to start moving. 😡
Cause he is an influencer. They want to get it out to influencers first for publicity and get more people to order.
😁 Indeed
ARRIVED! I just received my BoboVR S3 Pro in the mail 📬 today. 2-10-2024 🙌🏾
Great video and i will order mine later this week. Can you buy spare batteries so you always have one charged up?
I don't know if they've decided to do this, but they should really be offering no questions asked refunds to anyone who purchased an M3 strap at any time between October and now since they clearly weren't prepared for the Quest 3's arrival and released a product that didn't properly work with it.
I think the battery buzz was a complaint because batteries buzzing just doesn’t feel right. The fan being loud is fine
At first, I thought the new design charge indicator was great and smart looking but it’s not very practical at all in reality for the reasons you stated in the video but also, I sometimes used to remove the battery to quickly check the charge status and snap back on whilst wearing the headset or in middle of a game. With this new strap you’d have to take off your headset completely just to check it’s charge . Not a very big deal but if you use hand straps for the controllers, it all could get a little annoying. The fan is a great idea though imo as I got so much hotter in the quest 3 then I did quest 2 but it’s only worth it if it actually cools you down. Also, it’s another thing that would drain the battery packs.. Hmm..
Think I’ll wait before rushing to order this one 🤔👍
It’s possible Beardo has a noisy fan, gamertagvr noted how quiet it was.
For me personally I find my headset gets hot to the point of making my forehead to hot to be comfortable. Happy to have the fan included, what’s the worst that can happen, turn it off?
Looking forward to mine arriving, pairing it with the AMVR interface, comfort is king, fan or not.
I use soundcore v10 earbuds so wouldn’t hear it anyway.
I definitely want the fan. Surely with headphones it wouldn’t be too noisy?
Does the battery hum like some other straps do?
No hum at all.
Bought the m3 Pro not to long ago now they made this one, do we reckon it’s a worthwhile upgrade to get this one, I swear just it having a fan and better battery
You are so spot on in regards to the battery indicator. How ridiculous of a change is that? - something very useful to something completely useless. These Chinese companies never seem to get it completely right.
The battery does have an indicator. He is saying nonsense
Watch again - 15:20 he corrected himself on screen as it does have lights on the battery.
Sadly bit if a lazy review here which is a shame as you’ve been given the headstrap early for the very purpose.
Not even knowing or finding out and reporting the capacity of the new battery is poor - 10000mAh btw so almost double the original B2.
Also not testing the battery at all to see if it is charging the headset during use which was many ppls issue with the B2s on the M3 Pros not holding charge and dying within an Hr.
You also didn’t mention at all if this battery buzzes but refer back to many ppl having issue with that very problem on the B2s..🤷♂️
Rushed out “Unboxing/first look” at best but sadly missed opportunity and not answered the key questions most ppl with M3s would be interested in.
@BeardoBenjo - Excellent added pinned comment and info addition for people👏 Also changing the title to first impressions is now far more accurate. Would be great to see a proper in-depth review/2nd look once you’ve put it through its paces and used it in far more depth. Great stuff! Now Subscribed. 💥
You don't live in the tropics and use VR, trust me when I say you need the fan. Especially if the room doesn't have AC. When you have fans running all the time in the background, you kind of don't hear them anymore. Unfortunately, I literally just ordered a M3 which was out for delivery when Bobovr brought out this new headset. :( So I'll see how it goes with that before looking at this new headset.
I read that Bobovr will be bringing out a battery replacement set so you can change the M3 battery for the new one. But seeing your unboxing, I can see that as a problem because you can't check whether the battery is fully charged or not outside the headset.
Not even a memtion of how well the new 10000mah batteries perform? How much extra time do they give ? How long do they take to charge its a battery h3adstrap and you missed the one thing thats important
Its getting a bit tired now youtubers getting stuff flung at them it has to colour opinion .. remember the psvr 2 ..."reviews". Not one of them mentioned any problems then when real people had them in hands the backlash prompetd a cordinated flood of videos from the same people addressing the blur. They arent called influencers for nothing . Take it all with a bucket of salt
But do you have the head strap?
Genuinely curious what you mean by the blur in psvr2? It’s by far the sharpest vr I’ve ever tried, including quest 3. Do you mean the smaller ‘sweet spot’? Thats a very easy problem to solve if worn correctly so I can see why reviewers didn’t mention it
What blur ? lol
Confused about having a fan that doesn't actually vent the lens area in case of fogging scenarios. The fan here is just blowing air on your forehead?
If you have a facial interface with vents, the fan will prevent fogging.
What would happen if I keep the cable plugged in , and I set it on the OEM Charging Dock?
Great first impressions! Did you test the battery by chance?
the old batteries not being backwards compatible is weird but i guess you'll get a very long time out of one anyway
I’ll be using that fan just about every time I play
İs it that much different from the M3 based on overall comfortability? İ would absolutely love an S3 super but 100€ is sadly out of my budget but i could still maybe get a m3 in March.
They will release an upgrade kit that basically replaces the battery dock and lets you use the improved battery. They even have the menu item on their website but last time I clicked on it the actual content was still missing
I have an m3 pro with an amvr facial interface (not sure what face interface you use, I felt the amvr helps with comfort and wobble), im curious and every headset review is very dangerous and subjective when it comes to claims about comfort because everyones head is different. I often play with an M3 pro without the battery until its needed because between the headset and battery weight its alot of grams on my head and can lead to neck pain. This one is even heavier with fans and heavier battery. Have you analyzed the comfort playing long periods of time and how that additional weight on top might be to much on peoples neck? Or are you dead set this is more comfortable then the m3 pro? I didnt notice an issue with the m3 back not feeling sturdy. Just dont want to run out and buy an S3 as well if its more placebo or not for me.
BOBo sucks, they just sold a ton of M3 that don't work and then release this
What facial interface are you using please ?
It's just the meta one he's using, the blue version
@@varph_ Thanks
Could you hear any batter whine when you were just using the quests in-built headphones? That would be the biggest dealbreaker for me cause I hate using headphones or iems in VR
Yeah can still hear the whine without a headset on, slightly less noticeable but you can definitely hear it
what i recommend is to use the battery when the headset it self is at 30% or lower, it does not completely remove the buzzing issue, but makes it more quiet.
Can you charge the battery while it is in the headset and not using it?
