Review on Padded Magnetic Counter Balance Oculus by Mark Bullock

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than the original but too stiff to be really comfortable. Skip it and buy Elite.

This improved gameplay VERY slightly by distributing the weight of the headset in a triangle on the back of the head. However, the material is too stiff, which led to some issues with long-term comfort. Instead of forming a shape around your head, the back curves in multiple places, much like your shoes develop creases under your toes over time. It's fine for shoes, but your skull doesn't flex as much and create pressure points when you put it on. This happened to me within a week. If you're looking to improve the comfort of the headset, I'd highly recommend just shelling out the extra money for a genuine Elite strap. It's worth it.
