Apple to Sell Belkin Head Strap for Use With Vision Pro's Solo Knit Band [Now Available]

Apple plans to sell a Belkin head strap that can be used with the Vision Pro's Solo Knit Band, for added comfort and stability while wearing the headset, according to a product listing spotted by Brad Lynch of EOZ VR (reposted by @M1Astra).

Just curious if anyone has this yet and how comfortable it is compared to first party or even other third party options.

I have one by Annapro, and it really helps.

Yeah I heard that Annapro helps significantly, especially v2. I’m wondering though, how this Belkin compares 🤔. From the Reddit thread it sounds like not too many people have tried it yet, but those who have seem to say it’s pretty good. But not sure if there was anyone who tried both the Annapro v2 and Belkin and was able to compare.
 
Yes, that would be interesting. Since I have the first Annapro, I'm not going to jump to the 2.
 
I just got the Belkin one this weekend and it might be a little better than the dual loop but it wasn't a huge difference. I have two weeks to decide if I keep. I have an Annapro 2 on order so we'll see if it is an improvement on both the dual loop and solo knit band + Belkin.
The problem I have with the dual loop and it was worse with the solo knit band + Belkin is Vision Pro is constantly telling me to lower Vision Pro. I have the thinnest cushion and lowering Vision Pro to where it wants me to wear it puts all the weight on my cheeks.
 
I've thought about going the belts and suspenders route and using the the Belkin strap and the Ammapro V2 together with the solo knit band. It will certainly add an incredible level of support.
 
Tried the Spigen and Belkin. Spigen seems less noticeable and feels more comfortable. The solo band with top aftermarket band is the way to go for me now. Was using Apple dual band.
 
Belkin is better for me because I can make it shorter than the spigen, and it's way easier to adjust. I have to taken the Spigen off to adjust, and can adjust the Belkin in place.
 
I have the Belkin strap and have switched to that set up from the dual loop. I think the big, grippy solo knit band in back grips in a way that is more comfortable than the dual band.
 
Yes, I tried the dual loop when I first got the AVP (on opening day), and haven't used it since. The solo plus belkin is the perfect combination for me. Most comfortable. I can leave the solo much looser, and with the Belkin, the AVP is snug but not compressing my face.

Mine arrived this morning. It’s a game changer for me, the combination of the solo knit band with this over the top has made AVP infinitely more comfortable for me… I have a weirdly small head and it really does make the weight distribution so much better, so it doesn’t need to fit as tightly… materials are lovely and soft and match the design of the AVP really well. Would recommend.
