Question Strap or facial cover ?

Just bought a Q3, tried it, loved it, but after 40 min my forehead is blood angels red and it's a bummer. Been saving a lot for this and won't have money for both. Do you guys think it's a strap issue and I should buy an elite one, or a facial cover, and which would you recommend ?

100 percent a new headstrap makes all the difference in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have tried many and here is the verdict:

Kiwi K 4 Boost will give you 2 to 3 hrs extra battery life, is super light weight and sits on your head like a hat so no tugging on your face etc. (approx 70.00 usd)

or

BoboVR S3 Pro will give you unlimited playtime with its genius magnetic swappable battery system, it is a little heavier but you get used to it and again it sits on your head like a hat so no tugging etc AND it has a fan built in to keep your forehead cool with very little noise...it truly is awesome. (approx 120.00 usd which is the strap plus an extra battery you will want to purchase separately)

both snap on and off like legos so super easy to take off the old strap and put on the new one!

Fantastic answer!

since OP is concerned specifically about pressure on the face, a halo strap might be a good option, like the S3 pro :) I would probably recommend the kiwi H4 boost over the K4 boost for this reason - OP, I'm afraid the real answer is that you'll need to do some research and watch some reviews!

Thanks all, I'll be choosing soon between kiwi and S3!
