The original Many users have praised the strap is always slipping off when you play gamesfor its comfort and convenience, where you have to look down a lot or just turn around very fast. This is very annoying, because you are losing the sharp sweetspot inside with the lens quite often adjustable earphones and you need to readjust it every few minutesinterior padding being particularly well-received. [[BelkoVR]] and [[RacketNX]] are two good examples, that expose the low The sound quality of the default strap.

The HMD itself is pretty big and heavy and it still remains front* Adjustable earphones for 360-heavy. What's more important degree sound* Interior padding for extra comfort* Adjustment dial for me, is the fact, that the new strap is able to handle a perfect fit* Integrated earphones with great sound quality* Enhances the weight better. The whole headset sits more stable and fixed on your head. The old strap always felt very loose and cheap and I stopped playing because of this - this is fixed now. It's an improvement, but don't expect wonders.overall VR experience

I feel like * Headphones may not stay put* Can amplify ambient noise in certain conditions* Product may not be secured in the high-frequencies are a bit more dominant, but that's alright and doesn't stand out too much (I'm usually listening to EDM, so I prefer slightly bassy sound). Of course they can't keep up to my Sennheiser HD25, but the integrated headphones are pretty decent. I would say most casual people won't notice a difference between these and some random (neutral) headphones for 50-100 bucks. You could say they are on par with all the mid-range gaming headsets below 100 bucks - just with more neutral sound, which I personally like. I tested the integrated headphones with Elite Dangerous, Arizona Sunshine, BigScreen Beta (watching movies and trailers) and also with just playing some 320kbps music files in Windows.box upon delivery
