Mine arrived today. Very pleased with it. It should have shipped with this from day one in my opinion. It’s the perfect combination and distributes the weight evenly.
Good to hear, I may stop by the Apple Store and get one, or wait for Amazon to carry it.Mine arrived today. Very pleased with it. It should have shipped with this from day one in my opinion. It’s the perfect combination and distributes the weight evenly.

Does it interfere with the speakers on the straps? That was the problem with the other popular strap.
Edit: I just found another strap that looks like the Belkin. It's made by Spigen and has mixed reviews: Main complaint is that it can't be adjusted tight enough for small heads.
why did you do this?Yes - the current dev. kit is too large and heavy and too pricy for the _everyday Joe' - but that is not important for developing the content that will please people afterwards - Apple needs to start somewhere and with respect to immersion the mission is completed - at least for me
I use the single loop and it is comfortable enough for the battery life - would not wear it longer than 2 h anyway - why would I need to? It's a tool to do certain things - I don't use my coffee maker longer than it takes to do coffee as well
I participated in a survey Apple has sent to owners and comfort was my biggest topic
Followed by request for live content like in the demo reels from the NBA - but that takes time to get it doe right. Backmagic and Canon are doing custom make gear for creating content. Once these tools get available film makes and content creators will be able to generate much easier the content we all want and the wants content differs from person to person - e.g. I am a big fan of documentaries - in case I could to to places I'll never be able to do on my own I'd glady spend a fortune for being e.g. at the international space station - no way I could go there on my own - or standing on the moon - the immersive surrounding is just stunning
Apple has been working on it for roughly a decade and the first incarnation will be the worst we'll ever see - that's good news.
In the survey Apple asked me about my most important feature - my reply was visual quality. Current rumors predict a cheaper display and lower resolution design - this would be at any price point a no go for me.
Before I'd accept a lower fidelity I gladly take the higher weight for the time using it - it is btw. less demanding to wear the AVP compare to cruising 120 km/h with a motorbike and a helmet - let alone driving higher speeds.
Yes - the front heavy weight is less than ideal but it iss by no means prohibitive to use it. Sitting in a cinema in uncomfortable seats is more distracting for me.
Who cares? I bought my AVP for the technologic innovation, not as a fashion accessory.I'm sorry, but in MHO people wearing the AVP look ridiculous.
Unfortunately, some of us are myopic enough that using the AVP without inserts isn't an option. But, while the glare is a *minor* issue for me, it's far from a major limitation, especially when I am using the AVP for work--using the ultra wide Mac Virtual Display.Without the inserts the glare issue practically disappears.
My head is quite small and the Belkin head strap is fully adjustable for my head size. I don't think this is an issue with the Belkin.Good to hear, I may stop by the Apple Store and get one, or wait for Amazon to carry it.

I did get the Belkin strap. It’s very good. But now that the Resmed strap came out, I would like to know how good it is.My head is quite small and the Belkin head strap is fully adjustable for my head size. I don't think this is an issue with the Belkin.
No interference with the speakers. The attachment for the head strap is way behind the speakers--it attaches where the battery attaches on the left - in fact to insert it you need to remove the battery, insert it, and then replace the battery (once and done, unless you want to remove the band for some reason)--and at essentially the same location on both sides as the Apple straps. Nowhere near the speakers.
I’d be interested in that information, too, even though I’m quite content at the moment.I did get the Belkin strap. It’s very good. But now that the Resmed strap came out, I would like to know how good it is.
