Could / should Oculus release a Quest deluxe head strap?

The Oculus Quest is a truly magic device and so far exceeded my expectations in every respect. I am even very happy with the surprisingly good audio quality (which is some point for critique for others).

The only thing that bugs me is comfort. They tried to make it easy, pushing everything into the headset. Probably the right decision, but that makes it front heavy compared to the rift. It took my quite some fiddling to find out an adjustment that works for me.

Now, while the Quest would be a great device for showing it to friends and let them try, I refrain from doing so because I am afraid from having to re-fit it to different people and then having to find a good adjustment for myself again. I already found this to be terrible with the rift - despite me having markers on the straps, it always felt different after someone else had used it. Also with the rift I tried to avoid frequent adjustments for fear of breaking or wearing the audio ribbon cable.

With the Quest I am even more reluctant because it seems to be even more difficult to find a good strap adjustment. While the current strap might be great for transportability, the tricky adjustment defeats exactly this purpose: Taking it with you for showing it to friends.

I think Oculus could release some accessory strap, allowing easy quick - adjustment and providing more comfort. I'd be the first to try it.

What do you think?

seriously...Oculus needs to make a deluxe head strap, I will definitely buy it. The standard head strap is so uncomfortable.

Yep...the only thing that makes it even more comfortable, is the replacement foam for the Deluxe Audio Strap from VR Cover. More comfortable, and doesn't soak up sweat. I bought the thicker 20mm pad, and it literally hugs my head.
