New accessories for Quest 3: KIWI design introduces head strap & face pad
A lighter head strap and a pressure-relieving faceplate: KIWI Design aims to improve the comfort of the Quest 3 with new products.
Accessories company KIWI design has announced two new products for the Meta Quest 3: the K4 Comfort Head Strap and the V3 Facial Interface.
The K4 Comfort Head Strap is based on the previous model and has been specially adapted for the Quest 3, with a narrower plate at the back of the head and a re-balanced weight distribution. A redesigned knob is intended to improve comfort in sitting and lying positions.
According to the manufacturer, the 234-gram plastic and synthetic leather headband features wider padding for more even pressure distribution. An improved 52-degree hinge allows the headset to fold up more easily.
The V3 Facial Interface is designed to reduce pressure on the face. It is made of memory foam with a sweat-resistant synthetic leather surface. L-shaped vents are designed to prevent fogging without letting in light. Additional light blockers are designed to provide a more immersive experience.
Both products are available in black and can be purchased from the manufacturer's website. The K4 Comfort Head Strap costs $49.99 and the V3 Facial Interface costs $34.99. KIWI also offers a savings bundle for the K4 that includes a key to Contractors Showdown in addition to the headband.
VR comfort accessories in demand
Discomfort is a common problem with many VR headsets. Manufacturers like KIWI design are trying to improve this with ergonomic accessories. Check out our list of accessories for the Meta Quest 3 to find out more.
KIWI has been a Meta hardware partner since the end of November and carries the Made for Meta label on selected products. I have already tested two accessories from KIWI: the Comfort Battery Head Strap and the Vertical Charging Stand. Both impressed me during the test and I still use them today. We will be taking a closer look at the two new products soon.
