Even heavier with weight still completely concentrated on the front.
I don't get it. The Pico 4 moved batteries to the back of the headstrap and suddenly was actually comfortable. I can't imagine that's hard to do.
Why keep doing the "old" Quest style? It sucks.
Q3 being a budget version, it’s probably cheaper and has the advantage of swappable head straps as well as letting you rest your head on the couch or bed. It does move the weight closer to your head at least, but Vision Pro does the same thing. They decided to rather go for an external battery than putting anything in the back.
I’ll most certainly put something heavy back there to balance it out, the best thing for comfort you can do. I‘d definitely love to have the battery itself there, but I see why they’re doing it this way.
Elite-strap with battery appears to be a thing they try and up-sell you with upon ordering.
Needs to have a front battery in order to flog a back-battery?
