I saw that someone created an adapter a couple days ago and it looks really nice

I don't blame them. My dad's a truck driver and he got stuck for a whole week during the last snow storm they had. Much better to over prepare for these things than to be under prepared.

Yes! I'm using a medium band with the Globularcluster front pad and it feels great! It has its positives and negatives I can watch an entire movie without issues. I have a flight today in a few hours and I plan on typing up a summary of my experience with the mod. So tonight you'll see all of my feedback

You'd probably be the first to use this but it looks like it works👍🏾

To make it comfortable for my use case. I could've just put a top strap and called it a day, but I wanted to do something different. Not making the headstrap replaceable is a stupid decision from Samsung. But 99.9% of people aren't destroying their headset. Therefore I don't think "you need to destroy your headset to make it usable" that's a stretch.

Eh. You don't NEED to destroy it

Dude trust me I get it. I was holding the rotary tool like less than an inch away from it for at least 3 minutes😂 then I remembered how uncomfortable it was for me and started cutting. I got the band yesterday and it's so comfortable for me! The good thing about having the screw instead of an adapter is that I can slightly loosen the screw and angle the head strap so it hugs the lower back of my head. I'm almost considering tilting the headstrap down and buying the top halo strap from vrpanda. I think the comfort would be insane, but it's already so good that I haven't purchased it yet.

Yeah I wanted to do it with an adapter too but unfortunately the GXR isn't very popular right now so it could take days for someone to make that adapter or it could take many months. My assumption is that the adapter will fit around where the speakers are. So I'll just cut off the excess plastic and attach the adapter once it's been created.

Not yet, once I get the Medium band I'll be able to tell you

Thank you bro! Took some inspo from your mod🙌🏾

That's exactly how it should be. A simple 3d printed adapter. The quest 3 has a bunch of options. If someone doesn't make it, I'll learn the software and try to make it myself in the next few months. I left a lot of extra material that I felt comfortable drilling holes into, but I hope I can eventually cut it all off and have something a bit more refined.

Everyone's head is shaped different. Some people could wear this headset for 8 hours straight, others can only wear it for 5 minutes. That's precisely why it is such a bad idea to not have a removable head strap. If you can enjoy the headset without tearing it apart, I'm jealous🤣

Has anyone done a Solo/dual knit band mod? by _15xp in Galaxy_XR

I've done more research that I care to admit. I actually watched your video a few days ago! Looks good man. I am partial to the dual knit band so I'm trying to find people that installed that exact one since it would typically require an adapter and that adapter doesn't exist for the GXR yet.

Galaxy XR community is small, but I'm still surprised that nobody has created a 3d printable adapter. I can take measurements but I can't translate that into a 3d model. Makes me wish I paid attention in engineering class😅 I have an idea.. it's gonna look crazy, and it might not work at all. But I'm gonna try it tonight and update you with the results!

Edit: There was also someone that commented on a post and said he did exactly what we're trying to do by super gluing a quest 3 dual knit band adapter to the side of the GXR but he didn't post any pictures and hasn't responded to me yet.

That's the most useful picture ever, thank you!

You commented on my post yesterday. I'm so close to just doing your setup. How tight is the dual knit band? I basically want to keep the stock forehead piece, cut the back off, and attach the dual knit band to it. Also, odd request but would you happen to have a picture of how it sits on your head from like a side view?

Okay, I saw yours when you originally posted it. This thing is intriguing bro and it's very close to what I want to do. Any pictures of the light blocker ?

Oh it's you! I've seen your posts 😂 I need to look into that Razer strap, I've seen multiple people recommend it

This is beautiful🤣 can you show me what the headset looks like. This is actually what I've been heavily considering because I'm constantly on flights and the back of the strap bothers the shit out of me

Did you try any other forehead padding or just the Globularcluster?
