Great review. I tried in vain for a long time to find the best fitting strap for my comfort level. After many failed attempts and a lot of wasted $$$, I finally found a winner. The bobo m2 pro, has provided the comfort I persistently searched for and needed. The added battery support is a huge bonus. Then to add more positivity to this wonderful strap, the addition of the fan, has proven to be a great set up. Once again great content. Thanks Jay 🙏

[@chrishurstmagic]

I’ve tried a few alternative straps. But I guess I’m in the minority who prefer the stock strap for all round usability and for being comfortable enough. I love how you can go from stand up, 360 play to kicking back on the sofa for movie time.

[@damiennorth159]

Thats the only thing about stock it doesnt get in the way when laying your head back

[@jaybratt]

It's decent for laying back but terrible for actually sleeping in. I woke up in a panic because the weight was pushing into my face and I had a dream I was being strangled lol. Kiwi elite with a donut pillow was the only thing I could sleep in.

Glad to hear you like the BOBOVR M2. I just purchased it with the vent kit without watching or reading any reviews as I usually do haha. I use cable link so dont need the battery but since it says it helps with balance and since the vent needs charging its a win win.

[@DChosenOneD]

Love this tier list of Quest 2 straps! I definitely agree with the M2 Pro being at the top of this list. Personally though, while it's the most expensive option not on this list, my favorite would have to be the Frankenquest with a 3D printed battery mount. I have a 20,000 mAh power bank mounted on the back of the strap as a counter weight along with VR Cover padding for both the DAS and Quest and it had held up super well for me lately after finding a sturdy mount. Comfort wise I find it extremely comfortable, but I would place it 2nd compared to the M2 Pro. The M2 Pro is by far the most comfortable head strap I've ever used, but due to some fitting issues plus the smaller sized battery and lack of included headphones, I always go back to the Frankenquest.

[@jaybratt]

I had the DAS for a long time and it was nice. I was sticking to straps that come with a battery as part of it or I would've included that. That is simply the BEST way to play for a long time with great audio though.

[@adill5160]

I got the BoboVR M2 Pro because of your videos and I can say that I am grateful for trusting and liking what I saw in your videos about them

[@jaybratt]

I'm happy to hear that! It's been my favorite strap for a long time. Of course I'd love to see someone make one even better and more comfortable but that will be a tough task 😊

[@athotic]

does the battery pack not fall of easily?

[@Bassquake76]

BoboVR M2 Pro ftw 😁👍 I bought one after I used the Quest original strap for about 10 minutes as it was so uncomfortable, now its relieved the pressure off the face it makes the Quest so much more fun to use (as well as the big kiwi grips 😉). Also recommend getting the VRCover facial interface replacement for some better face padding.

[@jaybratt]

Yeah that stock strap is the worst. I bet it was a huge change from that to the best one. I went through the gauntlet of many "just ok" ones in my search lol

[@Bassquake76]

@@jaybratt Like night and day difference! I guess only real improvement it could have is a larger battery but then weight would be an issue. Do you know if you could plug a 10 or 20,000mA external battery pack in your pocket to the bobovr's battery port while playing?

[@Keanine]

I don't know if it would be a problem for other people, but using my Oculus Elite Battery Strap I found that after playing an intense game the VRCover interface would get slippery and the Elite Strap would begin to slide. To fix it, I had to make it really tight but that ended up hurting my head after 20 minutes of playtime, which defeated the point of the extended battery. I went back to the stock interface and it mostly fixed the issue for me, although it's far less comfortable. All in all, if you have a better strap you probably won't have this issue but in my case it didn't work out

[@jaybratt]

@@Keanine yeah adding sweat to the mix things get more complicated. That's when I appreciate the halo strap because it doesn't rely on the parts of my face that sweat the most for it's grip

[@slaaneshgod]

Definitely advise the vrcover fitness interface. I love mine.

[@The_Keh27]

after putting in the prescription lenses, I am enamoured with the bobovr m2 pro. already love the battery concept. Took me a bit to make proper adjustments so it felt right on my face and I could see as clearly as I can but once I got that sweet spot - marvelous. Sad mine didn't come with the honeycomb backing but haven't really had any issues with it sliding.

[@jaybratt]

The lenses plus the right strap are a game changer! The honeycomb is on sale here so maybe the price will become more reasonable up there too.

[@BCBtheBeastlyBeast]

Just started using prescription lenses after using glasses with spacers or no glasses at all. Got delivered about 10 days before RE4 VR came out, the game I got the Quest 2 for. It was never as clear with glasses--made me appreciate the capabilities of the headset more. I couldn't use the default strap for more than a minute probably. Terrible. Got the regular M2 (no pro released back then). Instantly waaaaaaay better. I got it because I like PSVR's design. Battery life was an issue though, so my solution? Go to Best Buy, get a battery with a nice ratio of capacity to weight, and strap it to the top part of the headset with masking tape. It's light enough that I forget about it :P

[@Keanine]

I have an elite battery strap from the batch after they supposedly fixed the issues, and it snapped yesterday. Support took about 20 minutes over their chat client and they setup a replacement for me, it arrived within 24 hours. This is in the UK by the way. I'm sure the third party straps are probably better but I was very impressed with the Oculus support, if only their quality control was as good there would be no issues. If I didn't already own one I probably wouldn't get one, but I do like knowing I have a product thats officially supported with good support if anything goes wrong. Hope this helps to inform anyone who's trying to make up their mind!

[@jaybratt]

That is one of the many good stories I've heard of support. Sadly both my times I had to contact them after a string of emails I gave up and solved my own issues. Mine were much bigger than a strap though (Broken Rift S and OG Rift)

[@Keanine]

@@jaybratt Man that's a real shame to hear. I wonder if it is a location thing or like you say just a case of different issues being handled differently. If anyone has a support experience in the UK I'd be interested to know!

[@fprefect69]

Yep. Same here. I'm in London. Under 24h turnaround from ticket submission to brand new Elite Strap plus case delivered. Prob the best customer service I've ever experienced! 😂 They obvs trying to save Face (pun intended) for a known product defect. Which is still admirable as most tech manufacturers will still make you jump through hoops and not admit to having an inferior product out on the market. Nice one FB/Oculus/Meta!

[@jaybratt]

@@fprefect69 I've heard a lot of good stories about strap replacement which is great. I've only dealt with support twice but my issues were far more complicated (broken rift/rift s) and sadly they were not able to help me.

[@DesuVR]

I personally prefer the M1 Pro over the M2 Pro. It stays on my head more securely, simpler to adjust, lighter weight, more balanced, and the lack of a forehead pad means less skin-contact resulting in a less sweaty forehead. I'd say for these two they're 'S' or 'A' rank depending on the person. Regardless of whatever you pick, a battery strap is essential not just to extend play time, but to make your play session comfortable and reduce the risk of injuring your neck.

[@jaybratt]

I liked the M1 and yeah the neck savings of a battery is super important. Especially as I've been playing mini golf a lot. Super fun but tough on the neck

[@ThatBeardedVRDude]

I've got the Elite Battery Strap and the Bobo VR M2 Pro, in my opinion I didn't mind the elite battery strap. And I'm probably one of the lucky ones to not have it snap on me lol. But now I have the Bobo VR M2, I honestly wish I bought that first! It's so comfortable, and I love the little noise it makes when you click that battery to the back. So satisfying 😍

[@jaybratt]

I see so many reports of the straps breaking but I got sent one and tried to break it and it wouldn't DIE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ6mnWV7YsqsjrM Maybe it's just certain straps and hopefully they found the issue and fixed it.

Lasts super long and usbC to usbC so fast charging. Cord runs up my back in between back pad and ratchet then to cord manager then a 90° end into headset. Love it

[@jaybratt]

You get a lot of playtime with a 10k! Bobo also has their great battery pack launching on an adapter that will make it work for any head strap like the Kiwi Elite so that's an exciting option for people who want a swappable battery but have a strap they like too.

[@artiep6358]

Can you charge the Bobo vr battery while you use it? On your head

[@artiep6358]

Then I could use the Anker battery to charge that battery strap.

[@jaybratt]

@@artiep6358 you can but it's not very efficient and charges everything pretty slowly. Having an extra battery on a charger and swapping it is more efficient.

[@seandonnellan3760]

Kiwi makes a nice battery strap you can attach to either the back or the top of your head strap. $21 is slightly pricy but it works well

[@thunderpocky6034]

My favorite thing about the bobo m2 head strap is the gap it leaves on your head. I tend to wear a high bun and other head straps have the top strap, which doesn’t work with my bun.

[@davidvincent380]

Remember that comfort is higly subjective, it will depend a lot of your facial characteristics, the shape and size of your head, etc. It will depend also if you prefer a "halo" strap or a "diving mask" strap. So there is no better strap than other one.

[@jaybratt]

All true! Seeing a lot of people try it I think more people prefer the halo style but I've met a few that just hate it! It's not for everyone

[@kokumosu]

I just bought the BOBOVR m Pro, it fits okay, but for my headshape it takes a ton of finessing to get it to fit correctly because of the back. I hope to see someone make something similar to an umpire helmet: Make the forehead piece slightly fit more on top of the head to balance out the weight and just use the standard elastic strap for the back to get it perfectly snug without having to deal with everyone's Occipital bone placement being different. That's my biggest issue with Halo Headstraps, they're supposed to snug the bone, but for me, my head is really big and i cant get the back of the M2 Pro to reach because it doesnt pivot back there. If they make a 3rd version and give pivot points for the back that would help so much

[@jaybratt]

After some time have you found a consistent fit? Every head shape is different so I know it's tough to find the right strap for each person.

The 'elite' style ones with the rachets don't seem to do much that pulling the elastic tight doesn't also do.

@@DFX2KX if you can get your hands on a kiwi elite I think it provides the least pull of any elite strap and is the most comfortable.

I owned a rift s and a psvr and I will say the psvr was the most comfortable headset ever. The rift s tried to copy the halo but they didn't nail it like the psvr did.

The quest 2 is supposed to last 2-3 hours but as they age we're seeing reports as little as 60-90 mins on a charge. Battery straps are terrible for laying back as you mentioned though.

JayBratt it is. The strap with the battery compartment is so much better then the add on. Though the strap maybe is a little loser as the psvr, but comfort for me is a big deal. I guess too the Bobo is the best buy for most people, maybe not every one.

Thank you Elizabeth!! I'm sorry to disappoint though. These are the speakers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaScgpKQaLqIpck but they've stopped making them. I've seen a few others working on a similar design and BoboVR has their own headphones coming soon at least.

Sorry if repeat question, but what are the speakers you are using ? Looking for something, so I will not have to take my over the ear ones off all the time. I got use to the headset and love it after the back part tweak. Thanks !

[@jaybratt]

They're these ones: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaScgpKQaLqIpck but I think they're currently not selling them. Hopefully because they're designing a better sounding set to relaunch. I use them for the off ear immersion and active gaming but they're not the best sounding or quality set out there.

[@ehfaznowman1716]

Hi. Just got my Quest 2. How is the Bobo Vr 2 battery pack working? Is it charging the quest wirelessly or do I connect it with Quest via usb-c?

[@jaybratt]

It has a built in cable that runs up to the USB C port on the Quest2 itself. The battery attaches to the strap magnetically and through contact points though so it doesn't feel like you have to unplug or replug anything in. This is their new plus line you might wanna look at before you make a final call: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4bEl518ftmUp7s

[@mattymatt2323]

Do they all charge both batteries when you plug into the back? Does Oculus Link work with any when plugged in through the battery?

[@jaybratt]

They all can continue to charge the headset while being charged but it can run slower as efficiencies are lost through the process. None of them support link passthrough though. If someone launches one with that it will be a big deal

[@flashsalterego8144]

What magnetic able do you use. I've had bad luck with everyone I've gotten. Extremely slow charging

[@jaybratt]

I use a 5V3A brick with these: amzn.to/3owBzff but honestly most things I put on a magnetic charger stay on a while so I'm not under pressure for it to charge quick. Especially as I just grab a fresh BoboVR battery every time I pick up my headset so I don't have to worry about it dying.

I can't speak on the link cable for PCVR, but from my experience, I hear the audio just fine without added speakers.

I wonder how the BoboVR M2 matches up against NexiGo S32?

[@PotatoWagon]

I got everything from BOBO from the case to the F2 and even the dock. Quick question, how do you take out the F2 fan? It's so TIGHTLY fit into the faceshield that it's really scary trying to pry it off. Any tips?

[@jaybratt]

I find taking it off while it's all still attached to the headset is a bit easier. The angle or something is so much harder with the interface out. I think it gets easier over time once you've done it a couple times though

[@PotatoWagon]

@@jaybratt Bobo actually gave me a headstrap like in the M1 Pro, so i was trying to adjust it on and off but it's a pain with the F2 on. I'm gonna keep trying though! Thanks for the tip!

[@tristanswasbrook8420]

Probably too late to get a reply here as this vid is 3 months old but I am about to buy the M2 pro. but I've seen a lot of reviews on Amazon saying that the quest2 internal battery still drains even with the M2 plugged in as the power delivery is not great enough from the M2 batteries. Is this true in your testing? If you started with 100% quest battery and just kept playing non stop with M2 batteries being swapped continuously, how long till the quest 2 internal drains down to say 10%? Reason for asking is we use quests for our arcade and have customers all day playing games. I dont want the quests to die after 6-7 hrs of use. We are open 12hrs a day. Anyone's feedback about the battery drain issue is welcomed. Thanks.

[@jaybratt]

Hey I'm glad to hop in and help. First thing I think I should note they've made a newer head strap called the M2 Plus that is an improvement over the Pro: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4bEl518ftmUp7s if you're considering any I'd choose that one. Your correct it can't maintain a 100% battery but I found it never dies either. The battery just can't stay at full capacity but as it gets lower it will maintain it. I know this because we took Quest 2s to an Anime Convention last month and demoed VR to hundreds of people and we hot swapped BoboVR batteries all day long and kept them going. They do their job surprisingly well in that regard so they would serve your arcade. That said I hope you have reliable Quests. We started the 3 day weekend with 5 Quests and were down to 3 by the end due to them having tracking issues, controllers drifting or other issues that slowly killed them over the hundreds of demos. Hope that helps 😊 -Jay

[@tristanswasbrook8420]

@@jaybratt @JayBratt thank you so much for the prompt and detailed reply. Good to know about the M2 pro not letting the quest2 drain that much. So what makes the plus better? I watched that video and I dont believe you went I to detail about the actual differences in the strap it's self. More so about the accessories. Have you found the plus to feel stronger and more robust (regardless of the honeycomb grip). Is the tightening wheel the same, plastic parts the same? Better in what way? I'm happy to buy a bunch of them if they are all round better. Regarding your tracking issues, because the quest uses IR to communicate with the trackers, if there is a lot of reflective surfaces it can cause the cameras to lose sight of the IR lights on the trackers. Maybe if there was a lot of glass or shiny stuff around your booth and if there's too much sun it will cancel out the IR light sent from the trackers. You probably know about that sort of stuff anyway. So I won't sit here and give u advise :) but we haven't had any issues with losing tracking as our VR escape rooms are in a dark room with IR flood lights and UV flood lights and glow in the dark paint and tape on walls. Thanks again, I'll be sure to research the plus more... Lastly, would the M1 pro be an option or is it not as good/ discontinued. Why did u give the M2 pro an S and the M1 an A. What's the main reason?

[@jaybratt]

The Plus has the flexible rear pad that conforms to more head shapes and has less of the "slipping issue" people cited with the pro. The rear side arms were switched to a more flexible strong plastic to prevent breaking. The side arms now click into position to make it feel more stable. Rear knob feels the same but I never had any issue with it before. I think that's all the changes. M1 got an A and not an S because it had an issue where the front of the headset could slide off it's rails if you pulled straight forward when taking it off. The Plus model fixed that luckily.

Hi Kyle! The rebuff battery is overpriced for what you get in my opinion and something like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6SuYZ9opb6nedE you can recharge while still playing. As far as the M2 pro battery strap I think it fits better than the M2 did, the weight of the battery helps, but you can also adjust it a couple ways to fine the right fit: kzbin.info5QibWkDrZxw?feature=share

Any suggestion which headstrap might be the best for fitness apps? I have tried the Kiwi one, but it doesn’t sit as tight as necessary.

Are you using the stock interface with the silicone cover? That's often part of the problem because silicone is very slipper when even slightly wet from sweat. A PU leather one hangs on better to your face: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4O0oJpsiNZ4bqs along with that the kiwi interface is usually what I recommend because it's good about being comfortable and stable but if absolute stability is what you want you might try the Destek elite.
