Anything is better than the default elastic strap! 😀

I added about 200 grams of weight to the back of my deluxe audio headstrap to reduce pressure on the front of my face and it actually helps with comfort a lot. This strap does this out of the box. That extra weight is not a negative imo, especially with the cooling fan.

I just got one it’s truly incredible

The weight I don’t see being a problem due to it being balanced on your head. The weight of the headset really is not that bad.

I just got mine in. It's got some shortcomings like exposed wiring on the display side. But overall it seems nice. As far as the weight is concerning, its balance and distribution that matters. I used to sell lawn and garden equipment. In many cases a small gas powered line trimmer would be much heavier than a plug in electric or battery powered unit. But it having better balance made it easier to carry for longer periods. Newer battery powered line trimmers have digured that out and push for balance. You can hide a lot of weight that way.

Finally got mine today after 2 and a half weeks

INCREDIBLY COMFORTABLE WOW

Thanks for the video on this VR head strap. I just got my BoboVR S3 and it is really nice and is comfortable. It took me a while to get it from BoboVR since it came directly from Tian China. It came packaged very well and install was very easy. Glad to get rid of that original Meta head strap. Most of my gaming is doing Sitting SIM racing games so my head is not moving around very much. Take care.

I bought the s3 pro the day it was announced. The fan really makes a big difference in the Australian heat! The weight I don’t seem to notice at all but if you’ve been using vr headsets for a couple of years I guess you’re going to get used to it, but the comfort and fan plus that awesome battery make the s3 well worth it in my opinion!

The fan is pretty cool, especially for people who play workout games or even high energy fighting games, or just play for long periods of time.

I was going to rush in and say this looks overkill, but wow. I'm going to get this when I can. Awesome video by the way. Thank you for making this.

Will there be a way to disassemble and clean the fans?

Will they be making just a a kit so I can use the new batteries bc that's all I want? I love the M3 and I really don't need the extra bulk just for a fan that blows on my head.

I didn't even know it was heavier than a kilogram XD I've been using it for weeks and it doesn't feel that heavy

Are they still on pre-order?

If it s balanced the weight is not a problem

the weight is 240gram, so with the quest3 and the battery pack it came with , total it weights about 1KG. good luck to your neck. is it bad? well, it is THE best headstrap we have at the moment, sleeping with it is actually a bit more comfortable, but still the same problem, bulky back side even tho they said they haveimproved it. the fan has to be used with the battery, there is no additional input port, say for some user they run tethered 24/7, would be nice to plug into that port and use the cable it came with the strap to power the whole thing, but you cant. fan noise really depends on what you doing, ofc if you playing heavy game/work out, you are not gonna hear it as much, but even then, after like 70%, it is very audible. if you watching moive play social game, keep it under 40% or even 20% so it is actually not audible (tbh even the lowest setting you can still tell there is something on your head making noise, all this because the quest3 itself is very quiet). another thing, it doesnt play nice with AMVR face cover, it will work, but they hit each other resulting limited range of movemnt.

the B100 battery upgrade kit will probably be my move instead of getting a new strap. I don't NEED a fan. Will also probably be getting the hot swappable battery setup I'm sure is in the works.

The B100 upgrade kit will come with a new battery dock that you would just replace your B2 battery dock on your headset with. It just unscrews so it’s an easy thing to change.

I'm really hoping that the S3 Pro will be the head strap solution for me, still waiting for delivery, because I've tried many different elite style straps and a few off brand halo ones and they all press the headset into my face in a way that gives me a killer headache after like 30min 😢

I will change this in meta quest 4

What advantage does removing the faceplate give you in Mixed Reality? Sorry, just bought the Quest 3 a couple days ago and is my first headset so I'm still learning. I messed a bit with Mixed Reality as part of the tutorial section in Horizon Feed for new users and it seemed fine.

Some people find it more immersive as you’re seeing your outside world through the headset anyway so it reduces that letterbox viewing feeling. You’ll also stay cooler as you have far better airflow round the headset as it’s open. Just try it with and without the facial interface and pick whichever setup you prefer.

Wait, so the fan looks like it's completely useless when compared to their other fan models. This definitely won't keep your lenses from fogging up. What a bummer, I was really hoping to get this.

is you're bobovr s3 strap a pre production unit or was it a full release vir? I just got mine and I can not remove the head pieces.

The only issue with the Oblik, there is no ventilation so fogging can be an issue and the BoBo headstrap you just reviewed... the fan won't work properly because the oblik will prevent the air from the fan to enter the lenses. And because of that, I didn't purchase this BoBo VR headset but instead I got the "KKCOBVR Q3 PRO Battery Head Strap" which is not only cheaper, but I also think it's better than the BoBo VR headstrap in terms of comfort.

AMVR is not fully compatible with this, i have it, but it will work,

For anyone looking at the BoboVR S3 pro : "The USB-C of B100 only supports input and does not support output. So it cannot be used as a mobile power source." This was a huge bummer for me and If I would have known I would have canceled my order. I have a stack of the old batteries and loved that I could use them as portable phone chargers.

I have the m3 pro and i dont like it. The round backhead holder or how it calls moves when i look up and i dont like the extra weight. I have a battery pack 10000 mah in my chestbag and its fine. I wear the classic strap and its fine since start for me.

Dang the fan is added because this strap makes your head hot.... I like bobovr products but this is too heavy and hot. Also, the fan noise is a distraction! Is hard to return being that it came from China?

As evidenced by comments, it's natural to make excuses for new exciting products because we want to believe we're getting "the best" thing. Even people who don't have an S3 Pro are making excuses for its weight. Part of the appeal of a well-fitted halo strap is that it uses the geometry of the strap to counter the weight of the headset, so you can have a lightweight strap while fully supporting the headset. Adding weight to this configuration does not improve comfort. It just makes it clunkier and more noticeable on your head. It's just a matter of tradeoffs.

big brain idea here, cable matters sell an active usb link cable that allows you to charge the headset with the power from your wall plug rather than the power coming straight from your computer since the cable is usb c to c, you could in theory have it going the other way round, plugging the bobovr battery into the cable's active box, and then going straight to your pc [for data] the only thing to consider here is that the cable might not be reversable, so you'll have to test it (but i dont see why it wouldnt just work🤔

I got both M3 and S3. Returned S3 (pain in the a*** process), because before sleep I game laying on my bed on the big virtual screen on the ceiling. I couldn't tolerate the S3 weight and pressure slowly becoming pronounced in the back of my head, had no such issue with M3. I don't even realize I needed extra battery power because I play for about 3 hours at most, and it goes to overnight charge. For me, S3 was the big slap in the face. I feel sorry in advance for all those who are probably waiting for it to hit the US store and planning to buy this.

Give your neck a break, funny, because my neck is always breaking ;D

"perfect" and "bobovr s3 pro" cannot stay in the same phrasing. Mine has a non-removable top reach,

I really didn't like this strap! The battery life is good but I just found the S3 Pro to be heavy and cumbersome. The fan just added more bulk to it and the whole thing just feels over engineered. I went back to the more minimal elite strap, which although not quite as plush i much prefer it. The extra S3 weight makes it less comfortable than the elite strap imo.

PU leather, or polyurethane leather, is a synthetic material designed to mimic the look and feel of genuine leather. The "PU" stands for polyurethane, which is the polymer used to coat a fabric base to create this leather-like material. The term "PU leather" emphasizes the fact that the product is a leather substitute made using polyurethane. Despite the fact that it doesn't contain real leather, it's called "leather" because it's intended to serve as an affordable and animal-friendly alternative to genuine leather, offering similar aesthetics and texture.
