H4 Boost Halo Battery Strap by Kiwi Design for Meta Quest 3 & 3s - Unboxing, Assembly, Review

[@BrandonS00]

thanks for the help - felt like i was going to break the headset when i was trying this based on the written instructions so actually seeing it done helped a ton

[@BrianSloanArtist]

No problem. I glad this helped!

[@colerrtibbs]

Thank you so much for this! I was worried about breaking something when taking everything off the Quest 3 for the first time. Appreciate the guidance

[@BrianSloanArtist]

I'm glad this video helped! Thanks for watching!

[@MrCharlie6529]

I appreciate your video. I just bought one this morning and waiting for delivery. I have the basic kiwi head strap. The face pressure is noticeable with it so I hope that the halo one will do the trick. I almost got the bobo which is cheaper at the moment but a lot of reviews of bobo talks about a buzzing sound for battery so that cant be good. Thanks for the video.

[@BrianSloanArtist]

Nice! Like I said in the video, I usually prefer the elite strap style but this one was actually quite comfortable! Let me know how you like it once you get it!

[@soner2375]

how do you make it less loose? for me when i shake my head it feels like it’s barely secure on my head

[@BrianSloanArtist]

I've heard a few people having this issue. I would say to make sure the top strap is set to allow the back padding to be more towards the bottom of the back of the head (then make sure it is tight in that spot). This should help create the space necessary to make twist the knob so it is tight.

[@soner2375]

@ the back part will not go down no matter how hard i try

[@BrianSloanArtist]

​​⁠make sure the top strap is loosened to have the back go down further

[@fattypat3ck]

can you replace the battery when it craps out?

[@BrianSloanArtist]

It wouldn't be easily replaceable.

[@fattypat3ck]

@@BrianSloanArtist will you recommend bobovr s3 over this?

[@BrianSloanArtist]

@@fattypat3ck I have actually been testing and comparing the two over the last few days here. Here is my conclusion as of now. If you want something that is lighter weight and easier to adjust, I would choose the H4 Boost. If you want hot-swappable batteries and the fan (which in my opinion doesn't really do that much) then the Bobo S3 Pro is the choice. The Bobo S3 Pro has the potential of being tighter to the head/face, but that takes away the reason for a halo-type strap as you want it to be off the face. Their price points are pretty similar so that makes it hard as well. With all of the hype around the Bobo S3 Pro, I was a little underwhelmed to be honest. Not that it is bad, but others are just as good. I don't know if that helps at all but just some thoughts.

[@marcustrujillo3466]

Mine doesnt tighten enough any tips???

[@BrianSloanArtist]

Try tightening up the top strap as well to help. If that doesn't help, you might need to just add some extra padding between your head and the back padding to fill the gap.

[@marcustrujillo3466]

@ ill will try that thanks

[@fragman-1]

using a sports-headband could help...just as an idea ?

[@super_steezus]

Having the same problem

[@BrianSloanArtist]

@@super_steezus that's frustrating. Maybe I just have a big head and that's why mine is good...haha

[@michaeldunner7891]

Do you leave halo plugged in all the time, or when needed? If not what battery level of the quest3 have to be to plug in halo

[@BrianSloanArtist]

Either or. I usually just leave it plugged in all of the time. Then to charge, just plug in the head strap and both charge at the same time.

[@msvvamsi9999]

Hi can we remove the battery that is located at backside ?

[@BrianSloanArtist]

No, it is not removable.
