This new M2 halo strap from BOBOVR has arrived with a fresh new approach to the halo strap design, that includes new features that greatly help improve comfort, stability and it also works very well with over ear headphones too.
Installing the head strap is very simple. Unlike the flappy attachments on the older halo straps, the attachment arms on the BOBOVR M2 fits very tightly onto each side rail of the Quest 2 headset, and you then slide it along for the best fit for you. I found a good starting position is to slide the headset attachment points down the rails until their nearest side meets the end of the rails where the speakers are positioned.
Like other halo straps, there is a similar adjustment dial at the back that you turn to tighten and loosen the strap around the back of your head. Inside the head strap there are lots of thick generous padding and support, these all help bring lots of comfort to the Head Strap.
At the top you will notice a new and unique feature on this halo strap. There are two padded arms that reach out inwards to cradle the top part of your head. This helps transfer some of the headset weight, away from the forehead, and onto the top of your head, similar to what the top head strap would do. These plastic arms are fixed in position, and they cannot be adjusted forward or backwards. When I first took the head strap out of the box I saw they were a little out of alignment, but after some use you can already see that they do eventually even themselves out. Underneath the arms are removable thick foam pads, which when fit correctly, touch the top part of your head to distribute the front weight more and it generally reduces the need of having a top strap. They have still included one in the box, though, should you feel that you need that additional support. Personally, I didn’t think I needed to install it. It is also a fabric material, so it will need to be washed over time, should it pick up a lot of sweat or oils from hair products.
Its overall comfort is the best on any Halo Strap I’ve reviewed on this channel so far. Right now, I am liking this Halo Strap from BOBOVR M2 a lot. Its materials are all solid, and the build quality feels good with a black, white and silver colour scheme that matches the Quest 2 very well.
The BoboVR halo strap, it has been designed in a way that frees up space around your ears, and with no top strap, and the two supporting arms at the front, you have space available to wear a large number of over-head headphones, including ones with over-ear earcups.
At its lowest price I thoroughly recommend this head strap for your Quest 2, and right now it is my most recommended strap out of all the halo straps, and it is level pegging with the official elite strap for me. As comfortable as this strap is for wearing headphones, I would still like to see a clip-on audio solution for this strap, as I find it very convenient to have the audio fixed on to the head strap, similar to the HTC Deluxe Audio strap, really, but this strap costs a fraction of the price and out of the box it has been built for the Quest 2. So this strap is a no brainer purchase if you are looking for an alternative strap to the Elite Strap from Oculus. If you are looking for a halo strap, this is hands down the best for the Quest 2, so far.
