I do a lot of VR sports. I quickly realized that the default Meta strap needed to be replaced. I started with the Elite Strap by Meta, which is well made, yet there is no extension swivel option to allow for vertical headset adjustment. I then tried another elite strap, this one was a low-end option that included the swivel, which looked much like the kiwi elite strap. This second strap was better than the Meta strap, yet it would still move some during sport games since the back adjustment wouldn't ratchet down tight enough.
This latest strap by BoboVR is better in a couple of ways. The build quality is better overall, and it does ratchet tight in the back. Though it doesn't seem any lighter to me? The problem I had is that the part that cradles the back of your head is positioned too high for my head shape. It doesn't move, but I am certain that it would feel more secure if it was positioned at the base of my skull. As it is, it won't move lower than the mid-part. As a result, I end up ratcheting the headset tight, and as a consequence it's pressing into my face more than I would like. I would have gone with the "halo" option (the other BovoVR version), yet I've read that they move around some with sports games.
The long and short is this, the head strap is well made, it's affordable, and it will work well for most people. I am a man with a large head, and it does fit, but I am near full extension to do so. And on a final note, I would suggest getting the battery add-on. You absolutely need the battery to counter weight the heavy Q3 VR headset if you move about at all. It's clear that the manufacturers have done their best to provide a quality product.
