adjustable halo strap for Oculus Quest1/Quest 2 head strap with a comfortable back big cushion the design balances weight reduces facial pressure -Virtual Reality Accessories (White)

Strapped to face in relative comfort and clarity. So much adjustability!

Just received the halo strap like, 10 minutes ago. I was scared about buying it, because I have a first gen Oculus Quest (Quest 1 in case anyone tries searching for reviews about it like I did), but after seeing ONE review, I decided it was worth the risk. Just now, right after I received it, after taking off the original headstrap with a lot of effort from my Quest 1, it *almost* slid on perfectly. The only issue was the rails. If you look on the parts that slide onto the siderails on the strap, you'll find this bit of grey foam padding that is meant for the Quest 2 to snugly fit into, but makes the opening too thick for a Quest 1. After taking a grand total of five seconds to rip it off (which was pretty clean since it was merely stuck on there since the back it is sticky), it slid onto the Quest 1 like a glove. As for how well it holds onto my head, there's a LOT of parts that move on this now that should make it easy to accomdate pretty much any adult (or [pre-]teenager with a decently sized head, so as of right now, 5 stars! Now for Beat Saber.... Edit: Definitely holds. The parts that slide onto the old rails do slip occasionally, and so the fit sometimes isn’t the same, but it’s just a matter of realizing you need to slide them up again. It definitely takes a lot of the weight of the front of my face and evenly displaced the weight across my head instead. Beat Saber, Blade and Sorcery, as well as VRChat rooms all couldn’t rip this thing off my face. All in all, satisfactory purchase.

Well I love the quest 2, The headband for it is terrible. The entire unit ends up resting on your cheeks and nose. This Halo band ends up making it feel more like a rift s and takes the weight off of your cheeks and face. You almost don't even need to let the quest sit on your face, It can float just in front of it. It's a little stiff to adjust where the rift attaches to the halo but once you get it set there's no need to mess with it. The tightening knob is the same as the kind on the rift s, meaning you just turn it to tighten the entire halo around your head. What's more is that the padding on the back actually sits underneath the curve of your skull which helps hold the whole thing on a little bit better. I did have the elite strap with the battery and like most people mine snapped. While I don't get the extra battery life, I get much more comfortable play time. Definitely worth it if you ask me and my favorite strap of all of the ones I've tried.

I'm giving this 4 stars because it seems like it's built well and would be perfect for the average person, but I have unusual needs for headset comfort and it isn't working that well for me. I just wanted to write this review to inform anyone else with TMD and/or sinus issues that's considering buying this. I have horrible sinus problems and with the original oculus strap, the headset pushed on my sinuses and made them ridiculously inflamed to the point I felt like I had a cold. I figured out that a heavy counterweight, along with angling the headset so it didn't press on my sinuses solved that, but the counterweight always felt weird in the back of my head and it made the straps push into my forehead and the top of my head which sucked. This solves the issue with my forehead and top of my head completely. But I realized that I couldn't get the pressure off my sinuses with it unless I added the counterweight, which blocks my ability to adjust the tightness so it's really hard to find the right settings. I also have TMD and get pain from a lot or pressure against my temples, so I've always had to wear my headset looser than is considered ideal. I actually had no issue with the original headset staying secure (and I play intense games where I jump around a lot) but I'm having a really hard time with this one. I think that the standard strap style that goes across your head works better for keeping the headset secure without making it super tight. The halo style reduces pressure on my forehead and the top of my head, but unfortunately because it sits so high I can't get it secure without tightening it to the point it hurts my jaw. So I wouldn't recommend this (or any halo style strap, most likely) if you need to keep your headset on the looser side.

So I still use a Quest 1 since I mostly use it for PCVR. I saw that this strap was compatible with it and decided to give it a shot. It fits perfectly! It’s comfortable to wear, it’s very stable, it’s exactly what I needed! Before putting it on a Quest 1, there are two foam stickers that will need to be removed first. These come off easily, and once removed it should slide right into the rail.
