I appreciate how thorough this video is, you covered so much that I haven't seen anyone else even mention in passing. You literally answered so many questions I had that no one else has.
Another good thing about these battery straps is that you can use the battery as power bank for your other needs. For example, in Ukraine we currently experience regular blackouts, and I can use it to charge up my phone or power a light bulb.
Only if you have head strap (or at least its base) with you. The only output is via the magnetic interface, not via USB-C in B100 batteries. I talk more about it in 10 mins chapter about B100 batteries in the S3 Pro review th-cam.com/video/z2Bm6b3ap7E/w-d-xo.html
The BoboVR website has the S3 Pro for $89.99, and so does Walmart and Amazon. The $130 price is usually for the S3 pro plus the extra battery packs or plus a carrying case. The m3 max is on their website for $69.99, but I just ordered one from walmart for $59.99, arriving in 2 days.
Is the C3 case also compatible with the M3 Max model? The website states that the C3 case is compatible with the S3, but it doesn’t mention anything about the M3 Max. Thanks for the amazing review!
Got the S3 Max an love it, i just wish the battery would allow usb data passthrough. So you could leave the cable and battery inplace yet still do a usb data connection through the bobo battery. That or them having a extra usb port somewhere on the strap for data.
It would be the most expensive battery to the Quest ever made. BTW. I did this using PD USB hub. I use this one: amzn.to/4cFJa1N but in version with all USB3. Also extension cable is needed for Bobovr. Here you can find some links to them: vr.thomasvoland.com
@@Thomas_Voland yes and now, usb2 passthrough only needs 2 pins for data, they have 7 already on the battery. the dual pin pairs on the battery is almost certainly power/ground. this means the other 3 most be for battery voltage, but why they would need 3 pins for that i do not know, that could easily be done with a single pin. Secondly the B100 is almost 3x as expensive as a 22.5w 10000 mAh battery. They may aswell work a bit extra for the premium cost !
I'm using the AMVR with the Globular Cluster CMQ3 and it's a lot more adjustable than these Bobo straps as there's more pivot points, so I can use them together comfortably. The AMVR interface is also a lot more comfortable than the Globular interface.
Hi, not sure I got it. I've got both the M3 pro and the AMVR facial interface and I'm havinhg the exact same issue you exposed on last part. What should I change ? Facial Interface or should I go to the s3 pro ?
What if I’m just now switching to Quest 3 from Quest 2 and already have 2 of the M3 Pro batteries from my M2 Pro? Would swapping between 3 M3 Pro batteries be good enough?
You can do it. At some point battery in Quest can reach 0% with them but it will be after many hours of playing, assuming that you will charge batteries when are not in use and replace them over and over agian.
The HomeSpot Pro Switch Bluetooth Adapter; the GELRHONR Right Angle USB A Male to USB C Female Adapter,90 Degree USB3.0 to Type C Connector 100WPD; & the GELRHONR Right Angle USB A Male to USB C Female Adapter,90 Degree USB3.0 to Type C Connector 2-pack allow one to get low-latency Bluetooth audio from the headset (including APTX-LL), as well as mix it with audio from another source like a phone. Works really well; I use it for listening to podcasts, audiobook, etc. when playing games where I don't have to fully concentrate. I use the KKCOBVR K3 facial interface because the nose opening on the Globular Cluster magnetic facial interface lets in too much light for me, even with the included nose flap. The KKCOBVR K3 includes a fan (which I don't care about), and offers a ~15% wider FoV than the AMVR, which I used previously. It works with the S3 Pro and the original Quest 3 charging dock. All items are available on Amazon, and work very well for me.
Thanks. Always good to hear already tested recommendations. I am using this one with AirPods: th-cam.com/video/13_bQh6YYRM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YBgoRBKjM8sEwg9K
@@Thomas_Voland Thanks Thomas. I have the Global Cluster facial and with the KKCobvr is like the M3 Max with the AMVR facial, it denies a litle the point of the headtrap. I hope you can try all these combinations.
@@mariopires5022 So I am not sure how it is. Now they have for Quest 3 two versions: for halo straps and for elite. I am almost sure that I was using halo version without any problems with all popular head straps, Kkcobvr too. But I will check later again.
Quick question, currently looking for a new headstrap for my quest 3s, something on the cheaper side because the original headstrap just keeps bugging me so i need something better, should i get the bobovr m3 mini or the m3 pro? Idk which would be more comfortable or if the extra money on the pro is worth the longer battery life
FIrst you have to decide if you want to buy Elite strap or Halo, because m3 Pro is Halo, and Mini is elite. After that you should start thinking about which model to buy.
For now I only have Anker (but it's without 90 degree USB-C) and Kiwi. Both are okay, but need to check more to see how different they can be. All will be the same in terms of quality of data transmission, but not sure about size of the cable, how elastic it is etc.
@@martystar4123 these headphones are also in version with normal clips to install them almost anywhere after small modification. They were made for HTC Cosmos. I will made video about them on Quest.
Too early to say, but after I finish testing all of them, I will publish a video with some kind of summary. Soon, a lot of new reviews will be on my channel.
In Poland, even more 😂 UPDATE: Not anymore, though. I just checked, and the new price is about 115 EUR, so it’s still expensive, but not like before ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- If M3 was good, why did they created S3? - If unmovable M3 top head pads were good, why did they made them movable in S3? - If sagging hinges in M3 were good, why did they made them more robust in S3? - If poor M3 battery was good, why did they made it more robust and bigger/stronger in S3? Dont buy M3 or M3 max. With M3 max you mat get better battery but you will still get wobbly and sagging hinges and unmovable top head pads. Remember, in M3 top head pads are useless to most of users as these doesn't even touch the top of the head. Only in S3 they made it moveable so that you can fit them to your head. M3 was failed product.
M3 and its previous versions made Bobovr the most popular head strap brand, which is recommended in every discussion about head straps, but you say that’s a failed product😂
I just ordered the bobovr M3 Max with the 10,000 mah battery pack for $59.99 at Walmart. Arriving in 2 days. It's strange that in all my research, you are the first and only one I've ever heard called the M3 a failed product.🤔
@@marian8757 Hi If you are happy with your product - good for you. I am happy that you are happy ❤ But I am not. I bought M3 pro it at full price when it got released for 65 Eur, with old battery. Old battery is simply not strong enough to power Q3 without Q3 discharging and M3 battery draining very fast. To me it gives me only approx 45 mins of extra use. Also construction tends to sag and it needs frequent readjustment. Plus top head pads doesn't even touch my head. And they cant be adjusted. I'm not the only one who reported this. They released Q3 with all of what I mentioned - improved. Plus some extras like vent. Q3 is good product. M3 isn't.
