//*GO-QuestVR Halo Strap Thread*//

Since the Halo Strap for my #OculusQuest got delivered today I thought I& #39;d give my personal impressions and experience on here. Will update this in the upcoming days.
fyi: I bought it so this isn& #39;t sponsored.

Quick preface: I started my VR journey with the Rift CV1 and always loved the headstrap.
The PSVR Halo strap wasn& #39;t as comfortable for me (good, but it just didn& #39;t fit me as well as the CV1) and I thought I& #39;d prefer headstraps over Halo design in general.

When I got my.... 3/

...Rift S I changed my mind. It was instantly more comfortable than the PSVR and I could play for hours without discomfort.
That& #39;s why I thought I& #39;d give the GO-QuestVR Strap a shot.

This is highly subjective and only MY OWN experience since every head is shaped differently. 4/

some pinpoints:
- I ordered the Oculus Quest Halo strap V3 PRO on July 15th, order was shipped a few hours later
- I opted for DHL express delievery which was 20$ (standard shipping is 10$) and it was delieverd today (July 20th)
- The Halo Strap without Headphones is 48$, ....5/

...I bought them for an additional 10$ (more on this later)

- In total I payed 78 US $

First impressions:

Build Quality overall is very good. The parts that are 3D printed are "okay" (you won& #39;t notice minor optical quality issues if you don& #39;t look for it; mechanically.... 6/

...they work and the Strap is well worth the price for sure)

Here is a picture of what you get:

And here is my current Quest setup. I "modded" it with:

- a VR Cover PU Leather (Slim)
- an additional headstrap (8€ on Amazon)
- the Bionik Mantis Headphones

I& #39;ll compare the Halo Strap to this setup from now on....8/

Disassembly of the original Strap and assembly of the Halo Strap was pretty easy (printed manual is included), there are some helpful videos though like this one:

Took">https://youtu.be/sndFO4C0Q... me about 10 min.

here are pics of it w and w/o the headphones

first impressions (30 min use):

- front heaviness and pressure on face/cheeks are gone
- pressure on forehead is almost not noticable (even without the use of the upper headstrap)
- back and front foams are very comfortable.

more updates later this week, feel free 2 AMA ..10/
