ELITE OR HALO? Which Quest 3 head strap is best? | Kiwi Design K4 Boost vs H4 Boost

[@daftysnake7019]

Finally!A halo strap from kiwi.

[@OriginalSniperLol]

loving my Q3 with K4 strap so much

[@daylahandweewai]

Love my q3 with the h4 strap so much❤

[@AmazingOrange87]

What about standby with the usb plugged into the headset? Does the quest 3 keep trying to take power from the battery when in standby mode I.e not in use; therefore you’re leaving your quest 3 at 100% (battery wear) if not in use for a long time

[@nuriufukdurukan6209]

Great review, thanks a lot..Purchased K4 already and can't wait to try it...

[@MyTechGearGaming]

I'm glad it helped. You'll have to let everyone know what you think of it when it turns up.

[@BlackMarketHoney]

The new battery compartment on the new Elite style strap is really neat, much nicer. I always thought the original looked a bit blobby.

[@silvercat18]

I love kiwi. Glad to hear they sorted the battery issue. I use a kuject cable and that's great but would be great to be rid of the cable for while.

[@TheHUhelps]

Very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this comparison video.

[@MyTechGearGaming]

No problem. Glad it helped you. 🙂

[@userbunny14]

I got the k4 today... so much more comfy then the default one from meta... I was hoping it would be easier to push up and away to look into RL if I had to tho. its.. better then the default and I don't feel like it's going to immediately take a nose dive off my forehead, but it still keeps trying to fall back down in my eyes. and when I pull it back down it bring a bunch of my hair with it cause I have longer hair that I have to struggle to get back out from under it. I do wish it flipped up and stayed.

[@MyTechGearGaming]

You could just tap the side of the headset to switch to mixed reality pass through mode so you can see around you and then tap again to switch back.

[@warrensmith481]

​@@MyTechGearGamingthat doesn't work for looking at screens and stuff tho does it?

[@AndrewBell]

Great video, thanks for the comparison! Which model do you prefer? Must know!

[@MyTechGearGaming]

I swap head straps pretty frequently as I'm always testing something so I'm fine with both.

[@BecomeVoid]

Yknow I will probably not get the battery one but I'm interested in the strap itself. I need help. I just don't want any pressure on my face because it starts to give me headaches. So should I go with that Halo Strap?

[@MyTechGearGaming]

Kiwi design now do non-battery versions of both head straps. The K4 and H4. It’s just missing the ‘Boost’ suffix as they have no battery.

[@Mogwai786]

I wish you just did a simple battery test for each to be able to say how much time they add extra.

[@MyTechGearGaming]

You’ll get around 2-3 extra battery life with the head strap. However, it does depend on what you’re doing on the headset as mixed reality sessions will consume power faster than just sitting and browsing the internet on it. Also, the battery will last longer on a Quest 3S than it will on a Quest 3.

[@Mogwai786]

@@MyTechGearGaming thank you. That's what I needed to know.

[@PointBlank65]

Does this pass through the usb data signal for Link cable use?

[@MyTechGearGaming]

No. This is true of every battery head strap.

[@WishlockPSN]

@@MyTechGearGamingwhat about with the bobovr s3 pro?????

[@MyTechGearGaming]

No. No battery head strap, that I know of, can do data pass through.

[@Eagledocstew]

Love halo straps…..but already enjoying my BOBO VR S3 with comfort, built in fan, and ability to swap batteries. And of course, might as well get the BEST and most comfortable interface, the custom made Oblik! 😊

[@str8ripn881]

Eh I've seen the Bobo have major issue causing whining while spare battery charges headset while gaming. So that'd give me a migraine no doubt so that's a no. The fans are over rated as sweet go ahead and kill the extra battery life faster using a fan and add even more weight to the front of the headset which already does not counter balance well. That's my issue with most halo headsets they don't balance well still front heavy. A clam with battery in back so well balanced compared to it. Plus the kiwi have charge pass through which Bobo does not. The swappable batteries are on smaller side and look horrendous to me. I think this will easily get most 4+ish hours of gaming straight then you can take a break and let it charge then get back to it. Should not go more than 4 hours straight in VR. I know some go days but talking real gaming here I would try to go 3 to 4 max then break if gonna game more. I have wanted to try halo headsets again but think this clarified why I don't like them for most my gaming. Sure for Sim racing or sit down non action it's great but for shooters or anything fast paced you see the screen move in front your eyes which breaks immersion and that's why I like clam style even for Sim racing and all as it keeps you immersed much better for the stillness and it's well balanced with battery like this

[@Uynaiq]

I don’t understand why Kiwi doesn’t make a magnetic strap, you have to stop playing and take it off to charge when the built-in battery runs out. I recently saw the Sonicgrace S3Duo strap, its magnetic swap-able charging design seems like a much better option.

[@MyTechGearGaming]

The sonicgrace duo looks very similar to the binbok battery head strap that I recently reviewed.

[@Uynaiq]

@@MyTechGearGaming yes, both with swappable battery and charging dock, but I prefer Sonicgrace’s simple design. I just bought the S3Duo, and I’ll test it out to see how it performs.

[@MyTechGearGaming]

I'd be interested to hear what you think after you've tried it.

[@Eagledocstew]

Not sure how else to get in touch with you. I would love for you to test and review the HiBlocks charging dock that charges the Quest 3 AND their clear silicone controller grips….the only other dock that charges a headset and silicone grips is the BOBOVR one; but HiBlocks is more affordable. HiBlocks also makes a smaller controller charging dock that can also charge the Quest 3S-might want to review that also

[@MyTechGearGaming]

I'll have a look. Thanks for your continued support and suggestions. 🙂

[@Eagledocstew]

@@MyTechGearGaming Thanks!! You are the best!!!

[@scupking]

I got the BOBO VR S3!

[@MyTechGearGaming]

What do you think of it?

[@scupking]

@@MyTechGearGaming Just got my Quest 3 today and tried it out. The S3 is fantastic! I kept the fan at 30% and couldn't even hear it!

[@BlackMarketHoney]

I tried both and kept the K4. It is so comfy, great quality and great looking. The H4 just wouldn't stay still. It moved in every direction. It was just irritating in the end.

[@X70_Yeet]

Tighten it

[@BlackMarketHoney]

​​@@X70_Yeetgreat tip. I didn't think of that.

It’s unfortunate they don’t have a Halo version without a built-in battery. I’d rather avoid the risk of an explosion-at least with a replaceable battery, you could toss it out the window if it starts melting!

[@MyTechGearGaming]

Kkcobvr do a halo strap without a battery. I've reviewed that on this channel before so might be worth you checking that video out.

[@urafrik1218]

They got one actually. H4 instead of H4 boost.

[@MyTechGearGaming]

@urafrik1218 they didn’t have a non battery version until recently. Now they do! 😊

[@beesayshello]

…how often are your batteries exploding? 😂

[@stormycatmink]

The top strap makes a good handle to grab it, for me. :)

Am i the only person who likes the OG headstrap? I think it's great... Everybody seems to be spending loads of money chasing comfort!
