We know the Quest 2 Head Strap is great, but how do you decide which one to get? Should you go for the original Quest, or is there a newer version that might be more of your style?

This blog post will cover the four main points that come into play when buying a head strap.

What are head straps?

Head straps are essential to any VR headset and come in various styles. The most important thing to consider while choosing a head strap is comfort. You want a head strap that will be comfortable to wear for long periods and won't cause discomfort or pain.

There are a few different types of head straps available on the market.

The most popular type is the over-the-head strap, which covers your head and secures the VR headset. This strap type is often adjustable to find a comfortable fit.

Another type of head strap is the behind-the-head strap, which goes around your head and secures the VR headset in place from behind. This type of strap can also be adjustable but may not be as comfortable as an over-the-head strap.

Finally, some VR headsets come with built-in head straps. These headsets usually have a more comfortable and secure fit, but they can be more expensive than other VR headsets.

How to choose the best head strap for you

When it comes to choosing the best head strap for your Quest, there are a few things you need to take into account.

The first is the overall size and fit of the head strap. You want something comfortable and secure but not too tight.

The second thing to consider is the material of the head strap. There are a few different options, so you'll want to choose one that best suits your needs.

Lastly, you'll want to think about how easy it is to adjust the head strap. You don't want something that will be a pain to put on and take off.

With those factors in mind, let's take a look at some of the recommended head straps on the market:

The Oculus Rift S Head Strap: This head strap is made from a stretchy material that conforms to your head shape. It's easy to adjust and provides a snug, comfortable fit.

The HTC Vive Deluxe Audio Strap: This head strap is made from a soft fabric and has adjustable velcro straps. It's lightweight and comfortable and provides good sound quality thanks to its built-in audio system.

The Samsung Gear VR Head Strap: This head strap is made from durable plastic. It's easy to adjust and provides a secure fit. However, it can be a bit uncomfortable if worn for long periods.

The Yoges VR Head Strap: The quest 2 head strap designed by YOGES features a gravity-balanced and distributed design.

The VR Headset's gravity is evenly distributed in different parts of the head, reducing pressure on the face.The newly upgraded pad is very soft and breathable.

Each support point of the head strap is equipped with skin-friendly PU leather pads, so you won't feel any hard plastic pressing against your head. The soft PU leather surface makes the pads very easy to clean without worrying about sweating while playing.

The full head strap weighs only 300 grams. The exclusively designed gear-type knob can adjust the head circumference from 17.7-29.5 inches. The enlarged headrest also covers your head better, making it more stable and comfortable when gaming. The YOGES-designed quest 2 head strap is made of high-quality ABS+PC mixed plastic material, which is lightweight, high hardness, and tough, greatly reducing the risk of breakage.

Different Types of Head Straps

There are three main types of head straps available on the market today:

1. The Standard Head Strap

2. The Comfort Head Strap

3. The Athletic Head Strap

The Standard Head Strap is the most popular type of strap and is the one that comes with most VR headsets. It is made from a stretchy material and has two adjustable elastic straps over your head. This strap is comfortable for most people but can cause headaches or neck pain after extended use.

The Comfort Head Strap is designed to be more comfortable than the standard strap. It is made from a softer material and has three adjustable straps that evenly distribute the headset's weight. This type of strap is ideal for people who experience discomfort with the standard strap or want to use their VR headset for long periods.

The Athletic Head Strap is the newest type of strap on the market. It is designed for athletes or active people who want to use VR headsets while working or playing sports. It is made from a breathable material with four adjustable straps that keep the headset secure while moving around.

Important Considerations
