First Third-Party Headbands for Apple Vision Pro Offer Leather Finishes and Multiple Color Options

[klasma]

I still want one. Just can’t justify that price yet I’ll be saving my moneys

You could just get the leather bands.

 

[Desertdan]

Still no. Junk.

You know the headset isn’t junk. It’s just the ridiculous asking price

Agreed! I think Apple did a great job with the headset but with the price. No way! That’s where they went totally wrong.

Anyone else thinking those headbands up there look like something the rebel soldiers would have worn on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back?

Those are the AR goggles we are looking for! Much more slim and light-weight.

Well judging by apples market cap growth under Tim, it seems the market strongly disagrees with you

The market isn’t a good measure of meaningfulness.

Will there be a $79 protective case for the battery pack on offer is what I'm wondering

And leather lining for the battery cable.

Leather sleeve Hermes edition for just 499$! Flexing has become a bit more expensive...

Apple did but it wasn’t right away. Definitely not during first generation product.

Sorry to disagree, but first generation iBook (1999) was available in Blueberry and Tangerine at launch, both extremely bright colours in the translucent moulded polyurethane portions.

All good! You are correct 100%. ✅✅✅

Too early and wasn’t thinking straight. Post deleted. Still processing this Apple Vision Pro. Sorry.😞 😁

can't wait seeing accessories from Hermes for around 10K

The orange one looks ok. Many third party headbands should be available by the time Vision Pro is available for purchase.

 

[Wordman]

Absolutely!

Was about to post about the back of the brown leather headband looking very Star Wars (like the detailing on some of the jackets worn in the GFFA).

Or...

 

[klasma]

This makes me think that if the VR FaceTiming catches on, there should be a market for “skinning” your appearance.

 

[BvizioN]

Ehh! It looks nice but is too expensive still. This is the best protection you can get. Humans in 2024. Best combo out there!

Dyson one is useless. Would not compare one with the other.

Me getting this device would only be the second time I'm an early adopter of ANYTHING (the first time was the original iPad which I still have). But I will I am SEVERELY tempted to pay the $4k for it.

This is the holy sht device than I'd be more than happy to get burned on and take one for the team so y'all can get something even better down the line. And given than I'm a bit older, I want to experience the journey from the beginning.

I missed out on the OG iPhone, the OG iPod (I still have mine; the one with the click wheel only and B&W screen).

AirPods and Watch were somewhat accessories, so I waited for those (but have both now).

Also, I'm not rich by any means. But I work hard and earn enough for splurges here and there.

I'm saving for the Vision. And once I get it I'll be shooting A LOT of 3D video. For me, THAT's the juice.

Waiting for the Hermes version for $1,499.

 

[JapanApple]

Looks really industrial design concept. I like it

 

[jimbobb24]

Herme headband for just $1999.

There are reviews of people who have used the device. Their impressions basically say...revolutionary and magical. Still too expensive for me (unless convince work this is my next computer).

iPod Socks are making a comeback!

Apple and third-party accessories makers.
Symbiosis.

Compared to 3rd party app developer symbiosis.

 

[smythey]

"..... BandWerk says that the leather headbands will retail for $159 in the United States and £129 in the United Kingdom"

Now that's the kind of USD/GBP conversion I like to see. Take note please Apple! 😁

 

[iFunk]

I remember playing the Gameboy for hours as a child with the light attachment and then Virtual Boy came out... it would have been unreal to have something like this as a child (although I wouldn't have been able to afford it). I'm excited to see what the next 10 years in this segment brings!

 

[sparkinstx]

I thought the point of the headband was to be lightweight, flexible yet secure, and breathable. That isn’t something you would use leather for afaik.

Yeah, I can't see these working as well as the original.

Symbiosis.

I was thinking more like sharks and remoras.

 

[coredev]

I think they will, eventually. I reckon they're saving those customisations for the later consumer version "for the rest of us".

The Pro model is usually more restrained in terms of product colours, and colourways offered for official accessories.

With AirPods it’s quite the opposite.
The regular pods and even the Pro are not customizable, but the Pro Max (or whatever that thing is named) is available in color options.
