Customers like the adjustability, ease of installation, fit, and quality of the virtual reality headset.

They also like the audio quality, comfort, and performance. That said, opinions are mixed on value.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the comfort of the virtual reality headset. They say the built-in headphones make longer play-times more comfortable, the foam pads on the speakers are very comfortable, and the headset is snug around the head. The plastic used feels nice and the ratcheting mechanism feels smooth. The earpieces can reach those positions easily, but some orientations of the ear pieces will lift.

Customers are satisfied with the performance of the virtual reality headset. They mention that it works well, and drastically improves using the system.

Customers also appreciate the brilliantly designed dial at the back of the head set to adjust the tightness.

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2023
One caution, my HTC Vive headset was an early model. It is designated as: HTC Vive Pre on the headset cover plate that goes over the cable connection area. After a lot of effort trying to connect the strap to the headset I contacted Vive to find out what the problem was and they transferred me to the Vive Pre support staff. They immediately sent me a packet of parts that allowed me to modify the headset and attach the strap. It was three days from contact to receipt of parts. The conversion took 15 minutes, is fairly simple and all parts and tools required are provided free of charge. Once installed, the new strap snapped right in and I was off to a VR!
The only downer is I just read HTC Vive announced at the 2018 Commercial Electronics Show (CES) a new, higher resolution headset will be available in a couple of months. It will be adjustable, and have built-in headphones as well as 2880 x 1600 resolution - 78% greater than the current headset. Price has not been announced.
Whether you need the audio or not, the strap itself makes it worth 100 bucks. It's WAY easier to adjust on the fly, it puts more pressure in more comfortable areas of your head compared to the strap, it doesn't leave you feeling like you ran with a sweatband on all day, and due to the nature of it you can put the HMD on with one hand.....usually. In my previous position at work we got a Vive when it came out. My biggest complaint was the terrible implementation of the head strap compared to what Oculus did with the Rift. Speaking of the Rift, I fully believe the Vive audio strap is much better than what is on the Rift. It's easier to adjust, as said earlier provides pressure to more comfortable areas, and the audio quality (in the short time I used it) seemed better than the Rift's speakers.
Speaking of that audio, using the headphones is so much better than the earbuds they provided at launch (seriously, what were they thinking?). Oh, and it didn't come with a dud speaker like our Rift did. If you're into using your own headset, you can do that too. Simply remove the headphones off the strap. Just bear in mind that due to the strap being thicker using a headset will be slightly more uncomfortable. It is for me as I have an unusually large head. It's worth it if you have a nice headset though. Up to you. I'm guessing if you have a Vive your gaming PC probably has a nice virtual surround sound headset. Although the strap headphones are decent for what they are, they are no comparison to a nice headset.
If you're looking into using a TPCast, it fits perfectly on this strap and doesn't move around either. Because the foam is thick on top I don't even notice the wireless transmitter on top of my head. Take note, it's kind of a pain in the butt to get the cables in and out of the HMD attachment plastic piece, but once you're done you probably won't look back anyways.
This strap also appears to be more kid friendly in my experience, fitting my 6 year old and 9 year old better than the stock strap. This strap plus an 18mm memory foam face piece and your kids can enjoy VR too just like you comfortably...or not. Up to you, but sharing is caring right?
One thing I don't like is the matte finish of the plastic on the speakers. If your ears are a bit higher up and further forward than normal, you may end up with the speakers scraping against the metal bands that attach to the headset. It sometimes happens to me when putting the headset on, and it produces a 'nails on chalkboard' sound.
The written installation instructions are good, and I especially like the inclusion of a section dedicated to repairing/replacing the speakers. There are also replacement screws included, in case you lose one during a repair. That's the way it should be done.
