Adicop Head Strap, Compatible with Meta Quest 3S/Quest 3, Enhance Immersion and Comfort, Reduce Facial Stress, VR Accessories, Replacement for Elite Strap

This is the best headstrap I've used for the Quest 3 - better than other third party headstraps, and far better than the one it comes with - yet somehow it came out not long after the Quest 3 was released. I'm impressed with how good the design is, given the short amount of time they had to create it. It's very easy to adjust on the fly, making it as tight as needed during use, such as making it even tighter while playing more physically intense games. The twisting knob makes it easy to put on the headset and remove it over my glasses, which is a tight fit otherwise and something I always had a hard time getting in between the face padding. The pads are numerous, covering every contact area. They are faux leather paddings that are super plush, thick, and comfortable. No matter how tight I made the headset on the fly, it still felt perfectly comfortable, with even and light pressure applied everywhere consistently. Not once did I notice or reach the hard plastic behind the pads while wearing it.I do, however, feel the middle bottom edge of the bottom plastic piece that cups close to your neck, particularly when arching my head back. That part can be felt since the padding doesn't cover it, and it can be uncomfortable. That's the one design flaw I feel this headset has. That large piece that cups the back of your head helps a ton with stability and keeping the headset on, but it can be noticeably uncomfortable.It doesn't have a product box, instead shipping in its own flimsy cardboard box. Inside it is minimalistic, only including the headstrap, a plastic bag to protect it in shipment, the manual, and instructions on how to put it together. It was dead simple and easy to assemble, though the instructions weren't so clear, nonetheless it is very intuitive. Even though the headstrap came in parts with the pads unattached, it still was poking out of its small cardboard container, barely fitting at all. The product box should be given a slightly larger box so that the contents can sit comfortably inside.The headstrap clicks onto the headset quickly and easily, though I do struggle a bit in trying to remove it, but I found that to be true with all the headstraps I've tried. It doesn't come with a battery pack, but it seems to have been designed to possibly support attaching one yourself if you have one you bought separately, but I don't have one so I didn't get to test that and can't really comment on that aspect. Adjusting it can be a little confusing at first since it has so many joints and movable parts, including a strip that goes over the top of your head, which helps take off the pressure and weight the headset puts on the front of your face, but it sits a tad bit too high for me thanks to the specific shape of the plastic cup on the back, so I haven't been able to find a position where it proves all that useful. Everyone will have different experiences with this part of it, since we all have differently shaped heads.These are minor gripes, as overall the experience is a drastic improvement over any other headstrap I've used. It's the most comfortable, versatile, configurable, easily adjustable, pretty, and most well designed one I've had the pleasure of using. It's a bit expensive, but the price is justified with the quality of the build, and particularly the faux leather padding, which I've used for months yet still shows no signs of cracking. (It's worth noting I do wipe them down with alcohol wipes regularly, after every heavy use, and between users.) This is a headstrap worth getting - it certainly improves the VR experience on the Quest 3.

I was able to alleviate the strain that often built up around my face and eyes during lengthy virtual reality sessions because of the ergonomic design that tightly wrapped my skull. This allowed the weight to be distributed equally among my heads. Without the nagging ache that often compelled me to take frequent pauses, I realized that I was suddenly able to remain absorbed for hours on end without having to take breaks. This head strap is notable for its capacity to improve immersion, which is one of its most notable qualities. It ensures a smooth and continuous virtual experience by locking the headset securely in place, which reduces the likelihood of any wobbling or movement to a minimum. The digital world will no longer be interrupted by abrupt disconnections; instead, there will be absolute, uninterrupted immersion. Previously, the strain that would build up around my cheekbones and forehead would be alleviated by the design of the strap, which distributes the weight equally over the crown of my head. Because of this simple but creative approach, my virtual reality experiences are now more fun and less stressful on the facial muscles in my face.

Very comfortable and lightweight strap. I like that I can tilt my Quest up slightly to see my phone without having to take it completely off. I have a BOBO S3 ordered, but I’ll use this one when I don’t need the extra battery capacity.

Thought I'd a save some money and buy a cheaper one for my nephew. This thing didn't last past a week. Both sides popped out.Spend the extra money to get the better product. Lesson I've learned, again.

Used for a couple days then one of the joints broke. Bought another higher quality one.

As many of you know the quest 3 head strap places a lot of pressure on your face. Nasty, sweaty and uncomfortable. Especially if you wear glasses like me. This upgrade is huge. The strap allows you to relieve the pressure on your face and is much more secure, allows quicker head movements with more force. Ensuring the quest stays in place.Easy to adjust and install.Great strap.

This worked well on my quest 3 however it is very bulky and cumbersome therefore the return.

When I got the Quest 3 for Christmas, I knew right away I would not like the stretchy strap sent with it. I ordered and Elite strap from Meta. It would not tighten the way my Elite strap for the Quest 2 did. Just wouldn't get tight enough and I feared that I would have my headset fall off during play. I sent that back and ordered this one. It's wonderful. I'm a fairly small person and the extra padding in the back and the fact that you can change the way it sits on your head is great! I didn't realize the hinges would be so helpful. I can pull the back part of this all the way down to almost the top of my neck in back. Very secure feeling. I played for about 2 hours and when I was done, I had almost no strip across my forehead and very little redness on my cheeks. I highly recommend this head strap!! Very comfortable!!
