    I agree, at least on the BOBOVR vs KKCOBVR. I paid £42 for the M3 Pro and was disappointed with the battery. It would have cost me another £26.99 for a second battery, whereas the KKCOBVR cost me £35.42 ($42.99) and I already have one of their batteries for my Pico 4. I ran it for almost 2 hours last night, after which the battery was down to 2 lights, but the Quest 3 was still at 100%, which is damn good. With the M3 Pro, I could see the Quest's internal battery draining after as little as 15 minutes, even when all I was doing was updates and a little browsing. The S3 at £81 was a non-starter. If I wanted a fan, I could buy the KKCOBVR one in addition and it would still be cheaper than the S3 and not add drain to the battery.

    I kind of agree about the Q3 Pro especially about backward compatibility with the B2 batteries. However at the moment especially in Australia being very hot and humid in summer a fan is actually essential because it gets very hot, sweaty and uncomfortable to play and the Quest 3 lenses constantly fog up due to humidity so I can’t see anything( get very annoying). One thing I miss about the Quest 2 is the BOBO VR F2 fan that I could use with the M2 Pro solved the issue with fog and uncomfortable heat. Seeing that being in the UK 🇬🇧 where it is colder climate a fan won’t be needed or even wanted but for me the BOBO VR S3 Pro is a very welcome and needed accessory due to the hot weather and terrible humidity. BTW the fan noise IMHO isn’t really an issue if using headphones with my Quest as I won’t be able to hear the fan with headphones in my ears. So for me I chose to buy the S3 Pro instead because I’m in desperate need of a fan like I used on my Quest 2.

    You are not being harsh on BOBOVR at all. Furthermore - the battery LED on the side is useless compared to the dots on the batteries from the older batteries - which was infinitely more useful. I might go new one you just recommended, if available.

    Kiwi's battery strap isn't on this list but that was my choice, as Kiwi has consistently been a good VR accessory brand for me, and it has been phenomenal. Charges the Q3 while I'm using it and adds at least a couple of hours of battery life. I was wary about going for the elite strap design over the halo, like was on my Q2, but for movement intensive games it definitely feels more secure on my face than the halo did (could also be due to the lighter weight of the Q3, or a placebo effect, lol).

So looks like it's not sold out in the US. So next step is a case, any reccomend action on a case to fit with this strap?

    Since I'm new to Meta I was after a headstrap for my new Q3. I was told the Kiwi and Aubika were the current best to get in the UK but just as I was about to pull the trigger BoboVR announced the S3 Pro! Since I didn't have any Bobo products but had been told my GT that they were the best I decided to get the S3 Pro. I agree the fan is not necessary but it can be turned off. The battery life is great tho and the strap is super comfy. I actually got it direct from Bobo for £68!!! But it did take about 2 weeks to come from China.

    New to VR and actually have my first headset arriving tomorrow, a Quest 3. I will be using this pretty much exclusively for sit down flight and racing sims utilizing a link cable to my PC. I currently am very pleased with my dac/amp full headphone sound and mike solution and plan on continuing to use it for my gaming. Looking at the available aftermarket vr headset headband/battery offerings for the quest 3 it appears that the BoboVR s3 Pro and the way it sits on the head and with the higher height of the side straps over the ears that this may be the best choice for combining the vr headset comfort and fit w/external battery with a full size headphone solution. Do you agree with that assessment?

    I use my Sony Pulse Elite headset with my KKCOBVR Q3 Pro. It is a very similar strap to the BoboVR S3 Pro, so yes, it would be okay 👍 However, the KKCOBVR is half the price of the BoboVR so consider that.

    I thought the M3 was okay for comfort, that wasn't the problem. I prefer the KKCOBVR because it's half the price and comfort is on a par with the M3/S3. Plus it has a really cool feature where you can move the whole headset in & out (like PSVR2).

    Hello Mac, awesome review and comparison video. I have been using the Meta Quest elite battery strap and have found it t be pretty comfortable, but I only get about 2 hours out of them. I am expecting delivery of my new BoboVR S3 strap with the 10,000 mah battery today. I think you are being a bit harsh on Bobo VR for trying to make a better product for a better headset. I would not expect to use the same steering wheels on my Fanatec wheel base if i decided to switch to another wheel manufacturer. I think BoboVR's choice to not be backwards compatible with the M2 headstrap (which I also own for my Quest 2) probably could not be avoided. Just my 2 cents! Thanks

    Crazy how none of Bobo's batteries are compatible including the M3. Do you notice the fan on the S3 pro at all? I don't know how effective it'd be as most of your face and forehead is covered. AMVR's neck battery only lasts me an hour on Quest3 as it's intended for Quest2, but Zyber's neck battery lasts a lot longer as it's for Quest3.
