[@RichHeimlich]

@jaybratt whose facial interface is that that you're using in this video, and is it your favorite?

[@MrLordbeavis]

It's the oblik design custom interface you have to scan your face with an iPhone but I don't think he has a review of it yet on his channel

[@wesleyjohnson9562]

hey bobo gives 10% and if you show receipt then they will give you 10% in the form of a credit

[@Chup0]

@JayBratt can you please give the link for the facial interface you are wearing at time stamp 11:33 looks really cool.

[@JAYZ999]

Literally one of the very few KZbinrs who actually knows his stuff and does proper reviews. Not unboxing and trying it on, saying it’s nice and calling that a review.

[@jaybratt]

Another Jay!! I really appreciate you saying that! We worked hard to get all this testing done and the video out still within a week of receiving so I really appreciate hearing that!

[@Mildgreenwow]

Right! Totally agree.

[@Elriuhilu]

Totally. I saw a different review in which the guy didn't even know the battery was different.

[@cesramm1120]

Not every reviewer has a deal with meta and gets they're stuff for free

[@Spiriax]

I have a hunch which reviewer you might be referencing. Haha. Anyway, I agree!

[@jamo9000]

Jay, A great in depth review rather than rushed out first look like others did within a day of getting the strap. Credit to you for waiting and doing it proper justice and providing key information and answering all the questions existing M3 owners have. Brilliant ;o) I ordered day one and eagerly waiting esp as Ive already moved on my M3 Pro.. Doh! Great stuff man good to see a proper review of this S3 Pro !

[@SCHIZELpops]

What is the Grey and blue interface you are using?

[@jaybratt]

That's a custom designed interface just for my face from Oblik. I'm reviewing it atm so I should have a video out next week on it.

[@jaybratt]

Review just dropped for it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpKvoZ2LqM2UaZo

[@PureeShadow1337]

I got my S3 strap a few days ago, and they now have cable management at the spot you mentioned (not sure when they added that). It's really comfortable to wear, and it doesn’t make your face hurt like the standard strap from Meta. The cushions are super soft, and the battery is truly a blessing from heaven!

[@Sambucashot100]

Can confirm I received mine yesterday and it also has cable management.

[@chris]

Mine is en route and can't wait. One question that I had which wasn't answered by your review: does it support pass-through charging with the Meta dock? That's one thing I like about the Meta elite battery strap. I'm assuming this isn't supported, but was wondering if BoboVR has figured it out. I don't even care if it's slow charging.

[@HDHNTER]

Excellent question & exactly what I was wondering.

[@jaybratt]

Good question and I was so focused on this strap I hadn't tested so I JUST DID: Battery showed 87% and Quest 3 was near a full charge. I turned on the head strap and dropped the whole thing on the Meta dock. The dock charged the headset itself and got green lights on both. The battery detected this and shut down. Still shows 87% even a while later so I'm concluding the dock is only charging the headset and not the battery :(

[@jaybratt]

Answered above :)

[@HDHNTER]

@@jaybratt Appreciate the quick reply & confirmation. Hoping the charging dock is available soon as that was my only concern to upgrading from the M3 Pro. Ultimately ended up ordering the S3 Pro & glad I did after seeing your review. Thanks for the top shelf content.

[@chris]

@@jaybratt thanks for testing this so quickly. I figured it would be the case. Will be getting the B100 charging dock and extra battery when it’s available.

@jaybratt, question... Somebody asked it below, but you didn't reply. You're saying something about battery in 11:05, and I don't understand what you meant. Is it 3h with Bobo battery, and then Q3 battery wasn't used at all? Or was it a 3h of Bobo + Q3... ?

[@jaybratt]

3h of additional quest battery life. My quest maintained 99% for 3 hours while only the Bobo drained and then it died leaving me with a full quest still

@@jaybratt yeah I'm stoked man I'm checking the tracking more often than I care to admit. Just got some controller covers and a new facial interface as well as a gun stock on the way. Head strap is all that's missing. All this in my first week of VR lol

[@alihanhaydar8369]

⁠@@Apac1226which facial interface did you buy? And are you happy with that?Because I look for a good one.

[@Apac1226]

@@alihanhaydar8369 The one I got came in an Amazon bundle with the controller covers and outer silicone wrap. While I'm pleased with those parts the facial interface cover is flimsy and doesn't fit nearly as clean as Jay's. He even mentioned how his is custom so maybe that's the way to go. With that said however, it may not be as fitting as I would like but the feeling of silicone with an almost cold feeling the first time you put it on is significantly more comfortable to the skin than the stock piece. That much I can say with confidence. I'm sorry if this doesn't help but as I've mentioned, I've only just started my VR journey a week ago and I'm still bumbling my way through it. That's what led me to Jay in the first place

[@streamstriss]

I'm waiting for mine in the mail as well.

[@PitsCoful]

I have a couple of questions 1. Does the Bobo S3 Pro charge with the Q3 Charging dock? 2. Do you get 3hrs total play time or 3hrs plus the Q3 battery time?

[@JoonasKarp]

I want to know this too that is it 3 hours total or plus the Quest 3 battery time ?

[@Don-po8vl]

It’s 1000 and quest is 500 so 200% extra just got mine today still have to test it.

[@danstoner18]

You have to charge the bobo s3 pro headstrap battery separate to the normal quest 3 that charges on the docking stand as it states in the manual the battery cant charge through the headset/strap if that helps✌️

[@PitsCoful]

@danstoner18 however, you can plug the charger into the B100 battery and it will charge the battery and the Q3 headset.

[@GT1GT]

Hey Jay, Is it possible to charge both the battery and the Meta Quest 3 simultaneously when the battery is mounted on the S3 Pro head strap and does the Link cable still work plugged into the battery?

[@samegoi]

I have the same question. On the m2/m3 it was not possible.

[@jaybratt]

You can get it in really close to your eyes, at least with my head shape. The only thing it's lacking is elite straps are always squeezing so you sometimes get a little more FOV but more important for FOV is a shorter interface which I'm testing a couple atm.

[@JohnnMug]

This is smooth. The fan is a huge bonus. The cool on the forehead helps alot as the Q3 does put out a lot of heat after a few hours.

Great video Jay,! Please help me out with two answers. 1. Do I get it right that the combined battery life of Quest 3 + Bobo S3 Pro battery = 3 hours wireless gameplay? 2. I have almost the same design headstrap from a noname company. My problem is, that the rear padding made of leather slips on my hair and makes the whole headstrap move upward when I look up, so I every time have to reorganize the headstrap rear pad downwords. Did you experience such with Bobo? Or does the honeycomb thingy help this issue? Thank you!

[@jaybratt]

1. The battery ADDS 3 hours in mixed reality, 3-4 in VR so that's ON TOP of the Quest 3 battery life of 1.5-3 hours 2. The honeycomb fixes it but also the fact that the strap on this new bobo locks in place helps it not slide up.

Jay - thank you for testing this! And I noticed you had it on without the facial interface! Coming from the pro, I love having periferal vision (especially in Supernatural with kiddos running around) it appears we can still float the display, like the m2/m3 pro, is that accurate for this one?

[@jaybratt]

Yeah 4:27 if you want to re watch that section and hear my thoughts. I know I cover A LOT in this video! lol

@@jaybratt totally missed that you added that timestamp and called it out! Thats what I was seeing! Thanks so much for putting the time into these reviews Jay! (edit: you even made a nod to the pro. Thanks again!)

Does anyone know if it will come to denmark? I feel like this would be a great option but im afraid of it not being able to get to me becose of border control pls i would be very gratefull if anyone knows (apollogy for bad english im from denmark)❤

[@burgunbeerd]

They didn't limit the USB-c charging to make it smaller. They limited it so they could sell us a "solution" in the form of a dock

I got my new Bobo S3 two days ago and am very happy with it, way better and far more comfortable for me being a bald man, than any other Headstrap I have tried. I can now play Beat Sabre for two hours and don't even notice I have the headset on, my first original Bobo was good but no where near as good as the S3, I haven't even tried the fan system as yet as I replaced the face shield with the best and most comfortable one on the market at the same time and it has vents that work. I also don't have to keep adjusting the headset to lift the front to eye level as the original Bobo would let the headset slip down to the point it would go out of focus, the new one doesn't do this. Everyone says to use the Silky cushion, but to be honest, I will probably wait till the default one wears out as it's more than comfortable and if the SIlky one is even better, I then look forward to when I need to use it :). I will be ordering another battery as I always like to have a spare, but this new battery from Bobo is more than twice as good as their 5000MAH version as after playing Beat sabre for close to two hours, I would have had a flat 5000MAH battery and onto the Q3 battery, now I have a fully charged Q3 and many hours left to go, one battery is probably all I need, but I have grand chilodren that come over and play and they may forget to put the battery back on charge after use ? I would highly recommend this new S3 to anyone that is Hair disabled :)

@billybobjones4317 How long did it take for the shipping ?

[@billybobjones4317]

@@youneslasfar I ordered on the 23rd of January and got it on the 30th so not to bad :)

[@allmight8127]

As a fellow hair disabled thanks good to hear. I just bought mine, but I am a bit concerned about fast movement, like jump scare movement. Is it stable for that?

[@billybobjones4317]

@@allmight8127 I haven't found any issues even after playing Beat Sabre for an hour. I found the controllers were more of a problem with slipping after getting sweaty and so I make sure I use the strap around my wrist, I bought some cool controller covers with a strap that goes around the hand but the original wrist strap still needs to be used as I had a couple premature ejections and my controllers went across the room as I didn't realise that the controller wrist strap was still necessary, the controller just flew straight out of the Silicon cover, head set as long as you don't run into walls to much stays where you put it :)

[@nickname2446]

You will be sorry, this is not a comfortable head strap and it is way too expensive.

[@David-shorts00]

Wow

[@jaybratt]

Hi David!!

[@youneslasfar]

Thanks for the review, just ordered mine. How long did the shipping took to get to you ?

[@Hieu-fv8jf]

I have the Bobovr M3 mini strap and I would like to know how the S3 compares to it. I like the 'suction'/stability of it for active gaming but I would not complain if it would feel more comfortable. What are your opinions?

[@soldium6362]

Does this headset allow for passthrough charging? I currently charge my quest3 on a stand. With this headset would I be able to charge the battery and quest 3 simultaneously or should I charge them separately? Thanks for the great info!

[@jaybratt]

Good question and I was so focused on this strap I hadn't tested so I JUST DID: Battery showed 87% and Quest 3 was near a full charge. I turned on the head strap and dropped the whole thing on the Meta dock. The dock charged the headset itself and got green lights on both. The battery detected this and shut down. Still shows 87% even a while later so I'm concluding the dock is only charging the headset and not the battery :(

[@soldium6362]

​@jaybratt Thanks for the quick test and response man! More reason to get the battery dock when it comes out :D

[@rmoore6471]

So if you are using the Link-cable for PC-VR? They should have had incorporated a pass-through to accommodate both.

[@Royal2000H]

Can you comment on any battery buzzing? That's the big complaint with some battery straps.

[@jaybratt]

I never detected any. That's usually a product of overcharging and this strap seems "smart" enough to keep the right energy flow.

[@dathyr1]

Well I have one of these BoboVR S3 head straps on its way to me now from China to the US. So I shall see how well it works for me. Reviews of this headset look very good plus the battery is much more powerful for longer usage times with the Quest 3. Thanks for the video. Take care.

[@anthonyjudd231]

Ive been waiting for this.. had it order in the first few minutes of the video but finished watching just out of excitement and anticipation

[@chaos1354]

I just got the s3, used it and it didn't like the amvr facial interface. The interface is just to big at the top, cant feel much of the fan, the air channels work tho so the screen is kept from fogging

[@Sharrocker]

Mine arrived today! 🎉 the fan built into the strap in the Australian summer is going to be a life saver I feel! Haven’t had a gaming session in it yet but I will be doing that as soon as I put my son to bed in half an hour!

[@elyesfayache2087]

How do you like it?

[@Sharrocker]

@@elyesfayache2087 it’s a bit of a mix for me. I love the fan! I feel the heat skyrocket as soon as I turn it off… I leave it at 40% and it is quite noticeable when you don’t have any games or media running but as soon as I start something with audio it disappears. The comfort is incredible too, better than the m2 pro I had on my quest 2… It just doesn’t quite seem as secure with that larger rear pad as it kinda wants to sit on top of my head…. With the m2 I used to like putting the rear pad down low on the back of my head and clamping it to my head between my forehead and the rear pad mainly for active games like thrill of the fight…. In saying that though I’ve had no problems with it feeling like it’s going to fall off or anything and for dames where you aren’t too active it isn’t an issue. I hadn’t opened my m3 pro and actually sent it back to bobo for a refund and overall I’m pretty happy with that decision

[@francescogiampaoli328]

Great review. Looking forward to when mine arrives. Tip for the Oblik, put a vr cover over the silicone and its heaven.

[@jaybratt]

That's a great tip Frances! I love the oblik custom fit but the sticky feeling on my skin is a bit weird to me. Also it picks up lint bad!

[@Eagledocstew]

VR cover? The cloth (red or gray) cover? I’ll try it also

[@francescogiampaoli328]

@@EagledocstewYeah. It’s not a perfect fit around the bottom, but to me made a huge difference.

[@Riddick94]

@jaybratt, another question.. Please drop the dimensions of the strap (+ headset). I wanna put it on with my Quest 3 charger in my cabinet, and I wonder if 35cm depth inside the cabinet is enough to store it all together... (I just bought a BoboVR S3 strap, waiting for it to start shipping)

[@jaybratt]

I am measuring the headset as it sits without tightening or flattening it down. Just as I took it off my head and set it down: (converted from inches to cm on google) 15.24 cm Tall, 33.02 cm Long (Front of cameras to back of strap, 22.86 cm wide at it's widest point

Mine is on the way, I'm curious if the battery whine is still there when plugged in? Its not horrible with the M3 but it was noticeable that there is a capacitor or something inside the battery pack that whines when on and moving power to the Q3.

[@_VRSTAR]

So excited to get mine now🤩 I was so happy to see your review pop up 🥳 fantastic reviews as always!🔥

Hey Jay, just wondering mate, does the fan still work from the battery if the headset has a pc link cable plugged in instead

My Elite Strap w/Battery that I bought on launch finally quit charging the Q3 so I just ordered one of these. Honestly surprised it lasted as long as it did. Thanks for the review, and looking forward to the S3 Pro!

[@Scorpion-bp3ec]

How long did your Elite strap last?

[@liquidfish4873]

I'm very happy with it, the stock strap is literally unusable once you try this. Sometimes you don't even feel it, especially with the fan on. I also found a way to wedge my headset on top so theres pretty much nothing I can't do now.

[@SimonHarrisonUK]

Thanks for the great review. To stop the fan pulling in hot air from the Quest 3, you could design and 3D-Print a clip-on manifold/shield, spherical lip below the fan pointing upwards, reducing air intake from below, that clips in place across the width of the outside plastic of the forehead strap at either side of the fan. Or just 3D-Print the spherical lip and glue - maybe do a few trial versions first, stick on with something less permanent till you work out the optimal size/shape.

[@Rakesh-vq9zm]

I am planning to get a new head strap . Is there something better in market now or still this beats everything in market even now ?
