This is a fantastic alternative to the head strap that’s included with the Meta Quest 3. It distributes the weight of the device more evenly with a nicely cushioned, adjustable strap over the top of the head and a cushioned ring for the back of the head with a ratcheting tightness adjustment knob. This setup allows the Quest 3 to feel comfortable at a surprisingly wide range of tightnesses. If I’m sitting on the couch, watching video content, I can keep it loose, or I can tighten it down pretty hard to give it a really solid fit for active, standing gameplay. In the latter scenario, the band can be very tight while still being comfortable enough for several hours of gameplay. The KIWI comfort head strap feels nonexistent while in use. The only place I notice any pressure is on the facial interface of the Quest 3 itself. I may have to upgrade that to KIWI’s design now that I know about their product quality.
The only thing I would nitpick is that raising the Quest 3 about the hinge on this headstrap doesn’t allow the device to remain sitting securely on the head. It requires both hands holding the device up unless I tilt my head back to let the facial interface rest at the top of my forehead. I might attempt to fix this by mounting a battery pack on this thing to put more weight on the back, better balancing the whole assembly. The Quest 3 doesn’t have nearly enough battery life anyway, so rocking an external power pack is a must if you want to watch a full-length movie or play games for more than two hours.
