Strap

Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding the strap. Can you recommend a comfortable strap? I have a Quest 3 and use it mostly sitting with my head resting on a pillow, or in the simulator with my head resting on the seat.

Thanks.

      With my Q3 I've used the stock strap, Elite strap, and Elite battery strap (my current favorite).  With Air-line curved neck pillows, all of these work well, laying down.  With a gaming chair playing sims, these all work well without any pillows.  Just try to avoid straps with rear mounted adjusting knobs.  

      If you want to lay flat on your bed, the stock strap is still pretty hard to beat though.  If you want to try different Q3 straps I think you're best to try to buy them from Amazon because it's very easy to return these for a refund if they don't work well for you.  Cheers.

      That's a good question. To be honest, the elite style straps and the halo type like I have are not comfortable at all lying down as the back of them are thick and uncomfortable. Great for standing or sitting up gaming but not for lying your head on a pillow or seatback. The most comfortable is the original strap, it's thin at the back and easier to lie down on.

          TomCgcmfc​ Air_line neck pillows? I've never tried one of those! I must give it a go! Haven't lay down with it much but the more comfortable the better m✌️👍
