It makes wired headphones much louder, but using it while charging requires an additional USB-C power/data splitter.Fri, 23 May 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/amvr-q3fc3/https://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/amvr-q3fc3/AMVR fixed the glasses adjustment, light leaks and usability problems of its older Quest 3 interface. Q3FC3 is comfortable with elite straps, but I would not pair it with a normal halo strap.Wed, 09 Apr 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/kkcobvr-q3-pro/https://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/kkcobvr-q3-pro/The KKCOBVR Q3 Pro combines a comfortable small-head fit, a lift-up Quest mechanism and a 37 Wh battery. The current revision fixes the slipping headset adjustment and makes the front strap optional, although some units need a small tension adjustment.Wed, 02 Apr 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/globular-cluster-f3-s/https://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/globular-cluster-f3-s/The F3-S is a magnetic flip cover for Globular Cluster's standard F3 facial interface. Zero pressure on the face, no sweat, and full FOV when flipped up.Wed, 05 Mar 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/kkcobvr-k3/https://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/kkcobvr-k3/The KKCOBVR K3 puts a real fan directly in the Quest 3 facial interface. It made a night-and-day difference during Beat Saber and other fitness games, although the single pad, battery life and KIWI K4 Boost compatibility need careful consideration.Tue, 28 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/bobovr-m3-mini/https://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/bobovr-m3-mini/The BOBOVR M3 Mini is an inexpensive elite-style strap whose flexing, deformation and loose adjustment are difficult to accept, but adding the B100U battery creates one of the best Quest battery upgrades.Thu, 19 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/bobovr-bd3/https://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/bobovr-bd3/The BOBOVR BD3 charging dock can charge one B100 battery in about two hours and three batteries at high speed, but the printed specifications are wrong and the dock needs a correctly rated 100 W power supply for maximum performance.Thu, 29 Aug 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/bobovr-s3-pro/https://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/bobovr-s3-pro/The BOBOVR S3 Pro combines a large battery, a forehead fan and a stable halo design that works especially well for mixed reality, but it is bulky to travel with and the fan is audible in quiet rooms.Thu, 25 Jul 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/globular-cluster-gpq3/https://xr.thomasvoland.com/reviews/globular-cluster-gpq3/The GPQ3 gives Quest 3 and 3S controllers 3 cm of extra grip, improving comfort in some games while creating new problems in others.Sun, 23 Jun 2024 00:00:00 GMT
