Somnium VR1 head strap options


with 62cm head circumference and prominent cheek bones,

Quest 2 style pop-off headstrap temples:

VR1's strap-mounting pivots bend alarmingly before popping loose
VR1 Teardown video is obsolete
- at 0:30, face mask is NOT magnetically attached
- provided 1.5mm hex key is unpleasant to use,
  particularly for USB cable retention removal (not shown)
- IMO, USB cable retention screws should be captive...
- a proper 1.5mm hex driver is wanted in every VR1 owner's toolkit

Deluxe Audio Speaker adapter for MQ2000


recommended by @Shodah:
