Wow, the tip about moving the head strap, in order to cup the back of your head, was such a great tip. This never occurred to me and I was always using the Quest with the back strap half way up the back of my head, lol.

What is your permanent comfort setup for your Oculus Quest? Let us know in the comments, we’d love to check out more ways to make the headset more comfortable.

I use the studioform strap. It's pretty comfortable.

very smart i felt it

Thanks for the instruction. I have a flat back to my head so there is no way for it to wrap around the back of my head. However, I readjusted per your instructions and it fits much better now. I’m looking into a better strap. The Halo strap doesn’t look too comfortable so I may look into one that wraps more to the sides of my head - wrap around in it’s entirety.

With the announcement of Quest link, or as I like to think of it the Rift Q, comfort is going to be an even bigger issue. Another good informative video by the way.

I was between the VRCover thingy and the Studioform Kit. Finally I got the Studioform kit with a discount. I hope it is good enough. My head is really small, and it hurts a lot when I play. I'm pretty sure the front heaviness has a lot to do with it, so I preferred the Studioform kit

I found reinforcing the back with some Cable Ties (Fabric ones not Zip Ties) To help support the front heavyness, Not Perfect but it does remove well, the Uncomfortable-edge I'm experimenting with a few other designs to see if it works or not but eh honestly I'm happy with what I've done lol.

So, I made what some people are calling the "frankenquest." I bought the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap and installed it. It is more comfortable, but I do have a very small head. So, the front is still sliding down after 20 minutes of gaming or general use. I think I'll have to buy the top strap and counter weight strap next. I do not remember my Rift headset being this uncomfortable. I was able to do my beat saber and BoxxVR gaming for hours. Now, my teeth hurt and head hurts after just a few minutes of gaming. It's such a same because there are so many games I'd like to play on my Quest. Thank you for this video. I will try the top strap and counter-balance straps. Thank you again for great and informative content.

I'm thinking of making a frankenquest but i'm a 12 yo so would that make my head too small?

For the back counterweight, I just have a 3d Printed clip that fits on with no issue and lets me use the battery bank for added playtime. Shame to see the VR Cover back piece doesn't work as hot. I was actually interested in it, but was conflicted due to my battery bank addon.

Thanks

I got my Quest a couple days ago. Almost immediately I noticed how it dug into my cheek bones when I tightened it. All I did was bend the foam out at my cheeks so that the surface lays flatter against my face, and that helped. They should have made a plastic head harness instead of leaving it to those soft straps.

Thanks.

This should have been perfected at r&d stage, instead of consumers having to fork out more money so they can wear it for longer periods. I have used the quest and it is very uncomfortable for anything longer than 20 mins on my face.

I like to wear my headset tight as HELL so it doesn't wiggle around as I'm playing, it isn't the most comfortable, but it makes me confident. Yep, that's why I have these weird marks on my face that don't want to go away unless I don't play for like half a week. Also, my head is too damn big for the Quest to cradle the lower back of my head, so it's actually more comfortable for it to stay in the middle of the back of my head not really cradling anything, otherwise the strap wouldn't take any weight from the HMD off my face.

I usually consider my head to be a bit big as well. If you can swing it, buy the Vive DAS and 3D print the Frankenquest kit or buy it off Etsy. That thing isn't going anywhere and there is zero front heaviness. At all. It's a complete game changer that is lightyears more comfortable than adding a bunch of top straps, pads and a bunch of weights to the back of the thing like you're trying to balance scales. It's stiff and actually cups the bottom of the back of your head. You twist the back crank and it tighten the entire thing to the point it isn't going anywhere even in a motorcycle crash. It's like wearing a bicycle helmet instead of a brick sewn onto a belt.

I really like the battery pack counter weight

I'm thinking about putting weights inside the rear VR cover to help with the weight distribution

I have a a silicone cover for the front and it makes it a lot more comfortable. It uses the stock facial interface but it makes it not dig into your face so bad. Also an added bonus, sweat no longer absorbs into the face pad. I recently bought a vr cover facial interface and it's less comfortable than the stock interface with the silicone cover. It also leaks light much more. The nose cover for the vr cover isnt that good (I have a small nose) I recently ordered the rear pad from vr cover. I've been looking for a Vive Deluxe Audio Strap but they're discontinued and I'm not going to pay $200 for a strap. I've seriously thought about spending that much but at that point I might as well just get a Valve Index, which I will, eventually Thanks for the upload!!

I dont have an issue with the weight honestly, the strap hits a nerve in my head that starts being irritating

i dont mind the weight on my face anymore really, what DOES REALLY bug me is the straps just murdering the back of your head after a couple hours of vrchat

I need either 1. VR cover, or 2. This because it’s face mat burns my face it hurtsss

How much weight does it take to put behind the headset?

I wear my quest right but if I don’t tighten the sides, the front still slides down because it is heavy. Because of that I always get red marks on both cheeks. 😔 What I need is a counterweight I think.

Does the power bank frequently fall out?

I can’t get it to push on my face lightly because the front heaviness keeps pulling off my head so I am going to get the be balance

i know on goquest the have a %58 dollar halo strap that could work nwell

If the Quest had the build style of the PSVR it would be unstopable. I just got a Quest after 4 years of PSVR and I can't believe how uncomfortable it is - the 'visor' style of the PSVR is a million times better than the 'clamp' style of the Quest. I've literally logged about 500 hours on the PSVR without one second of feeling like it was heavy or uncomfortable. After 30 mins in the Quest I'm frustrated that it isn't more comfortable. (Hence searching for this video).

way one : get the valve index :)

For a counter weight I just put a pad lock on the back of my headstrap

Front heaviness is no problem for me. What IS a problem is sweat and condensation. I wear glasses, and I've had tons of occasions where I'll take it off and have a layer of condensation on my lenses, like the outside of a cold water bottle. Another problem is sweat collecting on the foam. I have...no idea how to clean it, and I'm pretty sure there's enough biomass in it to kick start an agrarian society.

quest 2

The back of my head goes numb

9:10 a rock

the quest hurts the back of my head not the front

This video should begin and end with the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap or DAS for short. There are plenty of instructions available online showing exactly how to install the "Frankenquest" mod, as well as premade kits that make the entire setup intuitive and easy. Most importantly, it puts all the options in this video to shame. On a comfort scale of 1 to 10, a stock quest is a 2 or 3. With the mods in this video it is at best a 5 or 6. I know because I've bought and tried them. The DAS is a 10. The Quest literally can not be more comfortable short of completely removing the guts, doing some resoldering and cable extensions and making a new mold yourself, and even then the difference would be marginal. There is zero front heaviness with the Vive DAS Frankenquest mod. Instead of feeling like something you have to adjust every 15 minutes to half hour or even after an hour of playtime, with the DAS you will *never* feel the urge to adjust the thing due to weight distribution. It does way better than trying to adjust the flexible stock strap around the back of your head. The DAS "strap" is hard plastic that actually does securely cradle the bottom of the back of your head with a crank at the back that lets you securely tighten (or loosen to remove) off the back of your head. Unlike all the other options that feel like you're actively trying to balance items on the top of your head, it just feels like wearing a bicycle helmet. There is no downward pressure on the front of your face and there is no feeling like you need to "come up for air." Aside from the eyestrain you could legit wear the thing all day and not even notice aside from trying to eat or sleep. The price is steep but the value is 100x what the $40 of well-intentioned-but-ultimately-still snakeoil above is worth. There is no substitute here. There is only the Frankenquest.
