Introduction: Ocufreak Quest 2 Headstrap and Headphones

I purchased the Oculus Quest 2 and realized very cursorily that I needed the optional $50 solid head strap because the stock i allowed the unit to slide over if you are too hands-on. After a supply delay, the Selected slash showed upfield and was a real game changer. Although, it would not allow all over-the-ear headphones to sit totally flat. So I came up with a modernistic that allowed the best of both worlds, for CHEAPER!

Supplies

Step 1: Hand-hewn Your Strap

Remove the side knobs and the sweat band in front. And so cut the center front of the slash. Polish of the upper patronize if you signify on victimisation the headphones I utilized. Otherwise, keep that section intact.

Step 2: Mounting the Headdress

Disconnect the original fabric strap from the headset. Cut your original Oculus Call for 2 welt at the movement, where the fabric connects with the plastic mounts. Then trim the new Glenda Jackson headgear ends to match the front of the Oculus strap. Use sand composition to 'rough' dormy the surface(of the Jackson headgear) that necessarily to cost glued to the material(stretchy headband side) of the Eye welt. Use regular superglue and liberally coating the superficial of the Michael Joe Jackson headgear that necessarily to connect to the Oculus mounts. Outline the sphere with a sharpie beforehand as a pathfinder for the glue.

Stick them together accurately because the glue will set almost directly. Hold them together with a gloved hand so the glue sets in each the areas desired.

Step 3: Mounting the Headphones

The Jackson replacement headgear has adjustment holes that a 1/4" nut sits in quite an considerably. Knowing this, habituate 1/4" nuts, 10-32 x 1 1/2" screws, 10-32 nuts and whatever combination of washers you bear laying approximately to proceed the assembly from sliding through and through the plastic. In that location is a little bit of room at the lift of the hinge detail (of the headphone pivot) that allows you do drill a hole (3/16") for the hardware. Be prudent non to drill too more or less the pivot man area because it may lock-up that phone.

Step 4: Audio and Adjustment

I used an adaptor (90 Degree Cubitus 3.5mm Quadrant Male To Female) that commode personify found all over, so the audio manual laborer was not sticking out straight unconscious of the Oculus. I also slash the cable (gave information technology a few extra inches) and re-soldered (google "instructables solder headphone wires" the connector. You can non pass wate this truncate connection because you need to move the connection down ready to charge the unit.

Adjustment of the face-to-capitulum is done by either moving the headphone mounting from same slot to another on the Capital of Mississippi headdress by removing the bolt and re-installing the assembly. Another way is by tipping the top head strap over a bit, which pivots the phone position.

It took Maine a little patc to figure this arrangement prohibited and I'm still scholarship. From the people that birth used it a little, they are very happy with the setup.

In the end, you get a better head strap and headphones for less money.
