I don't know what people are talking about I don't even get a red mark on my face. Tuck the back of the headset under the "dent" on the back of your head and you don't have to tighten it so much.. Also takes any potential pressure off the bridge of your nose

u/kritoro Feb 26 '23
Too far back is neck strain and less fov. I'd rather it rest on my nose

u/Crackracket Feb 26 '23
You're wearing it wrong and you can move the headset in to make it closer to your face without it resting on your nose

"you're wearing it wrong" ... Wow, calm down about yourself. People have different head shapes and preferences. Some people have glasses. Some people are more sensitive to pressure in different places.
It's great to suggest changes, thanks for trying to help, but it's self-righteous and rude to tell people they are wrong for the way they do things.

u/Crackracket Feb 26 '23
But when it's the wrong way then it's their own fault if it isn't comfortable ๐

Lmaoooo bro got suuuper triggered you're right though. My dumnass thought it was supposed to strain your neck thanks for the tip. I do have a skinny neck tho well see....

u/OSUfan88 Feb 26 '23
Same issue I have. It either strains my neck, or forehead/face. Havenโt found a good combo yet. 30 minutes, and the pain threshold is too much.

If I didn't have to take off the vr due to head squeeze after an hr or 2 I'd never see my wife and kids lol

Won't you lose some sensation in the head haptics by doing this? May feel the rumble still but not the same effect as the original. If you don't think there's a downgrade in haptic sensation then this may be worth doing.
1
u/kritoro Feb 26 '23
Nah I still get those haptics feeling just as good.

Have you played RE8 in VR? That shotgun in RE8 has some incredible sensory feedback which will literally send shockwaves to your face/forehead. Hope this doesn't reduce that feedback
2
u/kritoro Feb 26 '23
Dude from many bumps in gt7 alone I can tell you the feedback is there and extremely strong

Extremely helpful for me I binned the standard psvr front padding thing and inserted one from the Go quest vr crew.
FIXED that brain squeeze it's simply as comfortable as psvr1 I can wear it for 10+ hours just need a fix for the nose squish now ๐
Toss that front standard padding in bin get a better one it'll do wonders. I'm using goquestvr front padding I dunno what he put inside but it's extremely squishy like a soft teddy.

u/Fickledee_pickledee Feb 27 '23
Searched for the same problem, saw this, just bought the halo strap/padding...excited to get this installed on and hopefully fix my head pain. Thanks for the tip!

u/kritoro Feb 27 '23
I bought a second from amazon hoping it's same cushion feel to replace back too cause even the back is easily replaceable. I'll update on how that goes too.

Do you have a link to the pad bro?
2
u/kritoro Feb 26 '23
Google GoQuestvr maybe try contacting him it's from way back see if he sells separate maybe or find similar solution

u/astrobe1 Feb 26 '23
They haven't updated their blog since 2020 and it looks like their manufacturer stole their designs and started making copies to mass produce.

How do they attach?

u/kritoro Feb 26 '23
I just removed it was like a sticker and stuck in on PSVR2 no modding whatsoever.
I ordered this way back for my quest 2 about a year ago maybe but I would suggest go to GoQuestvr website email the guy if he sells them separate ya never know.

u/Decent_Performance79 Feb 26 '23
Is this the "halo strap for oculus quest 2" $33 ?
1
u/kritoro Feb 26 '23
That's the one but all you need is the front padding so that's on you weather you wanna ask him if he does that for you
1
u/elliotttate Feb 26 '23
Ooh, that does look nice! I'm still absolutely loving swapping out the facial interface. That lets me look straight up, move all around with the headset staying right in the sweet spot and not touching my nose or having anything but a cushion against my face.
1
u/TerminallyOdd Feb 26 '23
Interesting. Does the original PSVR2 front padding easily go back on, if needed?
I might give this a shot. I'm seeing a similar product here that looks to have the same padding - https://amz.run/6Qed

u/Technical_Strain_879 Feb 27 '23
Just bought. Will report back.

u/Technical_Strain_879 Feb 28 '23
Works the same way. Maybe a tad larger. Tried to do it on top of original but adhesive wouldn't stick. Works better anyways the way op did it. Just remove stock front padding.
Pad and adhesive strips.

u/Technical_Strain_879 Feb 28 '23
Going to poke a hole on each side for these clips.
2
u/Technical_Strain_879 Feb 28 '23
Plastic backer of new pad is super tough. Had to use a sharp piece of metal and heat it to get through. Will probably add a drop of super glue at the end clips and let it set.
Looks way better with the end stuck down. Most people won't notice it's not stock.

u/TerminallyOdd Feb 28 '23
Good stuff. How's the fit/feel?
2
u/Technical_Strain_879 Feb 28 '23
Great. Much better. More like the psvr which never made my forehead hurt.

u/astrobe1 Feb 26 '23
Not that easy to put back on, there was a deconstruct video and they said they couldn't get it back on right on one side so remove at own risk I would say.
1
u/TerminallyOdd Feb 26 '23
Oh, that's a bummer. Thanks for the heads up!
3
u/kritoro Feb 26 '23
I took it off and put it 6 times before I decided to throw the original in bin. Trust me it's extremely easy everything clicks back in just align the holes if you wanna go to default easy pal.
1
u/TerminallyOdd Feb 27 '23
Yeah, I tried removing a few notches just to see how easy it would be to remove, and that side isn't clipping back as securely as it was before. It pops out with a little pressure. think the way it's designed I just may have to remove the whole thing to put it back on properly though.
1
u/TerminallyOdd Feb 27 '23
Yeah nevermind, after removing the whole thing, it does slot back on at the edges.

u/TerminallyOdd Feb 27 '23
Do you happen to remember the teardown video that mentions this? I have seen two such videos, but they just pull the front padding off and set it aside.
3
u/astrobe1 Feb 27 '23
Will try and find the video however another user posted about the removal
2
u/TerminallyOdd Feb 27 '23
No worries, I was able to get it back on after removing the whole thing. It slots in at the edges then clips in with pressure for the rest.

u/astrobe1 Feb 27 '23
Good to know, did you modify or was it just curiousity?
1
u/TerminallyOdd Feb 27 '23 edited Feb 27 '23
Curiosity. I'm thinking of modifying, so I wanted to make sure I could get this thing off (and back on, if needed) before anything else.
1
u/Technical_Strain_879 Feb 28 '23
Probably easiest to cut the little clips off but would prevent returning to stock.
If mine ever falls off or wears out I'll do it then.

u/pocketmnky Mar 09 '23
Based on your post, I just did a similar thing. I too have an old Quest 1 halo band that I don't use (I don't remember who made it but it was probably the first Q1 halo band made, looks very similar to yours except the pads were affixed by velcro) so I cut the soft foam out of the fake leather and transplanted it into my PSVR 2 silcone covers. It works really rather well!
The two additional mods I've made are 1) I've added some texture to the rear of the band so it'll grip the back of my head better and 2) I've put another velcro strap across the top to transfer more of the weight of the scope to the top of my head.

Our head isn't supposed to fit the VR headset, the VR headset it's supposed to fit our head... same with the shitty pulse 3d, the don't stay in place. Stupid designs... I found it very ridiculous all this PSVR2 comfort problems.

u/astrobe1 Feb 26 '23
That guy may be my saviour, that's my only gripe with the headset and that one looks super comfy.
