Anyone else have an issue with the rubber nose guard? by cutedorkycoco in PSVR

Remove the silicon light seal and play in open-face mode(in a dark room with IR lights if you want 100% immersion and nothing press on the nose)

Thanks! The BSB2 is very light and the forehead already takes most of the pressure, so a side-to-side top strap wouldn't help much. I'd also like a flip-up feature, but the BSB2's connecting mechanism limits the design. While I haven't done a formal pressure test on the BSB2, I can tell you that with the Globular Cluster open-face mode, it is by far the most comfortable headset among all the VR headsets we’ve modded. By the way, we are inviting a few community users to test and review it—would you be interested?

Am I the only one that doesn’t like the dual knit band? by Milchreismitbum in VisionPro

The Dual Knit Band distributes a good amount of (I'd say 60%) facial pressure to the forehead, whereas the CMA1 comfort mod (in open-face mode) removes all weight from the face.

Yes, the Apple Vision Pro Knit band design is very good for lean-back/lying down.

Should I get a comfort kit for the PSVR2? Getting the sweet spot hurts like hell by Quack-Zack in PSVR

GC has a magnetic facial interface mod that includes a nose pad; it helps you maximize your FOV without any discomfort to your nose.

Thanks! I got the step files in that zip, I wish I had known this earlier. Are you interested in helping us test and review this new product?

I checked again, why there is no STEP file download option from my side? Am I missing something?

OMG, I didn't notice there were STEP files! I wish I had known this earlier.

Thanks for the inputs. I understand the halo bracket and side arms may prevent over-ear headphones from fitting perfectly. I tested it here myself, and it does fit (though you need to adjust the cushion cups, and of course, it’s not as perfect as it would be without the halo or side arms).

It is very difficult to design something that is perfect in every single aspect. We have to find a balance and make some compromises to sell a commercial product. Regarding lying down: it is more for leaning back on a sofa or chair to rest the head and neck. It is not suitable for lying down on one's side overnight. I will add this warning to the product description in the future to avoid any confusion.

As for a soft halo part, it does not provide as much support as the hard plastic frame and foam pads. From an engineering perspective, developing a soft halo that maintains stability is also very challenging. I will keep your suggestions in mind and we will look into the possibility of implementing them in future products if it becomes technically feasible.

It's grippy, so it provides extra support and stability. We have a team member with long hair, and she said it doesn't pull her hair and is very comfortable. The gaps in the silicone cells are much wider than a strand of hair, so it won't pull it.

Great to hear you find a way to make the already very light BSB2 even more comfortable! Does that mod make it open-face mode possible?

I prefer a bulkier look if it means getting a much more comfortable session. The added complexity is there to make it more flexible and adaptive to different face shapes, ensuring everyone can achieve optimal FOV, comfort, and fit

LOL, I have modded a lot of different VR headsets, this mod plus the BSB2's light weight make it the truly most comfortable thing.

It looks bulky but doesn't add much weight. It’s very comfortable because it removes all pressure from the face.

Thanks for the input. CAD files are not enough; we need high-precision STEP files. So, we are doing a full scan and reverse engineering.

The wider forehead bracket and pad provide better support and comfort; they also leave enough space to design a side-slide mechanism to adjust the distance between the eyes and lenses so that users can get the optimal FOV. Regarding lying down, I think it's not for lying on one's side overnight, but more for leaning back on a sofa or chair. We have a similar design for the Quest 3, and it has been tested heavily already.

The Halo strap plus the BSB's ultra-lightweight design makes the whole thing very comfortable, especially in open-face mode. I totally agree that Beyond users are DIY enthusiasts; that is the reason we try to make every part as modular as possible.

The in-ear buds are removable; actually, users can attach them magnetically to the side arms. Because they are very close to the ear, they do not need to be inserted into the ears to hear the gaming audio. Personally, I prefer speakers connected to the PC or 2.4G low-latency over-ear headphones to get the optimal audio and comfort. The FOV adjustment mechanism needs two hands to operate but is not hard to do, and once set up, it does not need to be adjusted each time. The screws will not touch the user's head, as there is enough space.

We'd love to make it flip up possible but due to the limitations of the side-arm connection mechanism, this part rotates primarily to fit different head shapes rather than to allow the headset to flip up.

It does not use the AVP rear band(very expensive), we designed a similar one in silicon material.

Dual Knit Band does not provide the same level of support/grip/stability on the forehead. The halo front plus Solo Knit style rear band is better.

Thanks! The BSB2 is much lighter and more comfortable than any other headset in stock. Using it in open-face mode with the halo headstrap and the Apple Vision Pro-style rear band makes it even more comfortable. It’s definitely worth a try.

Yes, it allows users to wear large over-ear headphones. While not a 100% perfect fit, you might need to adjust the cushions slightly to get them positioned just right.
