new headstrap from aliexpress arrived. build quality seems good enough, the pastic on the arms is a bit thin but it doesn't seem like it would be too hard to replace if they broke. you can't angle the headset up very much so you can't peak at a screen, it fits solid the the face. there is a gap between the bottom portion and head, but it doesn't seem like much of a drawback as it's the perfect handle for taking off the headset, which just slides off if you do it that way. so far it's been great, only played some beat saber so far but this weekend will be a good comfort test when i spend hours in [spoiler]mahjong[/spoiler]. just need to design and print a new mount for my power bank. would recommend but only if you find a listing/sale for less than $30
