Comparing the H4 with the K4 (spoiler alert, H4 wins)
First off, I will say that no matter what head strap you get, you will have some pressure on your head. The choice is, however, whether you want that pressure mostly on your face (K4) or mostly on your forehead and a little bit on your face (H4)?Personally, I prefer the pressure on my forehead as it is more tolerable for me. That is why I prefer the H4, and returning the K4. With the H4, I feel that I have more adjustment options. Many reviewers stated that the H4 is too loose, especially when compared to the K4, however, I feel that the H4 was plenty stable. Additionally, you can configure this headset to press against your face as well, to give you that K4 feel if you enjoy those super intensive and workout apps. However, for all games I played (shooters mostly) I was able to adjust the H4 with minimal pressure on my face and still able to react quickly and look around quickly in the game without feeling the headset was loose. With the K4 that I used exclusively for about a week, I would get painful pressure on my cheeks within about 20-30 minutes. This also affected my ability to close one eye when aiming snipers and would fatigue my face rather quickly. This happened even when I tried to put as much pressure as possible on the top strap of the K4 to shoulder as much of the load as possible. I do appreciate though that the K4 has a more "integrated" charging cable, where the H4 cable pretty much just goes from the battery pack to the Quest externally. But this is such a minor detail that has no affect when the headset is on.Another win for the H4 is that you are able flip up the headset without any adjustments and see your surroundings when in a game, something that you cannot do in the K4 as the pressure on your face is what keeps the Quest on. The battery seems to be the same on both, and adds about 2-3 more hours to the headset for a total of about 4-5 hours. Another positive (for both the H4 and K4) is that the charging input is at the back and bottom of the head strap making it easier to enjoy the Quest 3 while charging, as opposed to coming out the side of the Quest 3.Ultimately, I personally feel the halo style head strap is much more comfortable, allowing for longer play sessions without much discomfort.

You need this and don’t know it
First of all its battery is fantastic, I was able to put it on in less than a minute. The head strap is very comfortable compared to the base one.

Light and comfortable, a little stiff when adjusting
The part that actually snaps onto the Quest 3 is very stiff for me only on the right side (left side is perfectly fine). So whenever I’m adjusting it, it feels like I might accidentally break the headstrap. I’ve seen some people talk about how it’s made with fragile cheap materials but I think they intentionally used lighter plastics to make it a bit lighter. I tried my friend’s Bobovr strap and it was too heavy for my head. This one seems just slightly better, enough for me to opt for this one. The feature I like the best is how I can charge it and not worry about my Quest 3 as it will charge it at the same time. Just wish mine wasn’t so stiff. Just a slight annoyance but I also wish the cable had some sort of clip to the side as it feels a lot longer than needed.

Comfortable. Long lasting battery.
Box was damaged, received a small refund on the item. The item itself was fine and works great! Very comfortable. The battery + charged headset lasts 3+ hours, depending on whether you are streaming or using the headset to play.

The key here is 'no pressure'
There are many head straps out there, but one thing this one is special is the 'no face pressure' feature, which a lot of people seem to have misinterpreted. This H4 is one of the few that can be set in a way that the visor does not need to cause pressure in your cheeks and forehead, which is the most annoying and tiresome part of wearing a VR headset. The H4 can be adjusted to fit as a helmet, and there are sliders and a wheel to adjust the visor's desired level of pressure and its angle. If you play a game that does not require a lot of sudden head movement, you can adjust it so the visor barely touches your face, which is perfect for long, adventure games. If the game requires a lot of sudden head movement, you can adjust it tighter, as tight as a regular head strap if you wish, but not necessary anyways. People that found this H4 a loose fit may have missed the two sliders that adjust how separate the visor is from the face. I'm happy I selected this one over the K4 because removing the face pressure is the most important aspect of comfort wearing these VRs. It also helps with ventilation.

immediately disappointed
Immediately disappointed.The moment I put the head strap on, I knew I made a huge mistake buying this product. Most of the reviews mention crappy quality and I chalked it up to poor use, but it really does feel cheap.The worst part for me is the head strap does NOT hold the quest 3 in place WHAT SO EVER. If you use this head strap, you run the risk of the headset flying off. It does not have a secure fit at all.Now I have to do the hassle of figuring out how to return the product for a full refund, and shipping it back, or just call it an $80 loss…

Pressure feeling on back of head
This seems like a great device with a built in battery as well. However, right from the start, I'm feeling a lot of pressure on the back of the head near the base where it makes contact. Seems like all pressure from face is transferred there.Hopefully there's an adjustment setting else I won't be able to use this and hopefully can return it.The built in battery is nice for 3+ hours claimed but haven't been able to validate. Also, when you put the unit away, it continues to supply power to the MetaQuest3 which consumes battery and I can see the green light is on on the unit.Maybe an on/off manual switch would have helped better.It seems useful and easily puts on and off and has a few adjustment angles but the pressure issue remains. The strap feels nice and the weight does not seem a lot when I hold it so it is good. However, I'm not yet sold on it.Will update review in case I find a solution.
