CMA1 Comfort Mod Compatible with Apple Vision Pro

Spent $100's to find this. No regrets. It is better than perfect.My goal has been for my Vision Pro, coupled with a MacBook Pro, to be my all-the-time computer. I don't want to pay any ergonomic price for all-day every-day use. Unfortunately, out of the box the Vision Pro is simply not that comfortable.My key criteria that all the other adapters I tried failed:(1) No weight on my face at all. This is the number one reason Vision Pro is not ergonomic for long use. After a few hours, the pressure on the face becomes uncomfortable if not painful. It also create "head set face". Red and tired looking marks around the eyes and cheeks.(2) An easy way to adjust to the proximity and angle of the vision pro front. I like it closer than Apple's light shields allow (adds another 10 degrees of vision all around), And a slightly different angle gives me better focus - but out of the box you get no angle control at all. In addition to customized vision, closer means less leverage for the front's weight to press down on my face.(3) I want to be able to shake my head without the headset wobbling.I tried many third party options, in addition to making custom changes to Apple's light shields and pads. Extra straps, alternate system, etc. I definitely found improvements, but never perfect. After a few hours I would find myself fussing, moving things around, trying to alleviate facial pressure and re-optimize the lens orientation for best focus. Frustrating.Then this product, which solved everything and more.(1) Weight on face, SOLVED! The front strap supports the front of the headset vertically taking its weight right off your face. Completely! They give you three pads to choose from: cloth,, foam and a soft fine faux leather. I chose the faux leather.(2) Non-optimal lens distance and angle SOLVED! Each side of the front strap has two wonderful innovations. First, where they clasp the Vision Pro's arms, you can wiggle the point of attachment forward or backward, precisely controlling distance between your eyes and the lenses. Second, just above that attachment on each side, is a rotating joint that allows you to adjust the angle of the front of the Vision pro upward and downward.A closer, wider field of vision, and better focusing positioning, noticeably removed a subconscious cognitive load. It just feels mentally easier to use.(3) Wobbling headset, SOLVED! The back strap provides a huge oval pad, spreading out pressure, You don't have to optimize that back support for stability. it's vertical and horizontal span holds the whole back of my head firmly and comfortably.. They provide three pads, I went with the flexible mesh one. Absolutely love it.Summary of all the options:: 3 different padding materials for the back head strap. 3 different materials for the front head strap. Alternate light shield padding - really nice. Little (removable) stickers, to ameliorate any points of hard contact.-----Then the designers solved problems I didn't realized I had.Bonus A) The rotation points on the front-head strap don't just make it easy to position the lenses, but also let me tilt the front up and away from my eyes temporarily, like I would with sunglasses. This is great for popping in and out of an environment, reaching for a drink, checking my phone when otherwise in an immersive environment, and for being able to physically take a drink without the container hitting the headset.Once you get used to being able to tilt up and down instantly, you won't ever want to go back to the standard situation where the set is essentially locked to your face.Bonus B) Being able to tilt the front up also makes the head set easier to put on and take off. No need to loosen or tighten anything either way. And without having to adjust/re-adjust the fit, I find myself re-doing the eye setup much less.Transitions via tilting, or taking off/putting on, become so effortless the Vision Pro weaves itself into your life that much more.Bonus C) With no weight on my face, I dispensed with using Apple's light shield and padding.Nothing touches my face below the front strap. Less stuff to sweat on. Even less weight on my head. Really makes all day use viable.Dynamics of no light shield:• When not in an immersion environment, you get unbroken real world visibility, through and around the headset. You essentially forget you are wearing it.• When in immersive environments, the ability to have a closer, wider field of view reduces the side distractions that simply removing the light shield would open up. You can still look hard right or left to orient yourself, or grab a drink.• When in immersive environments, in a dark context, you get exactly the same experience you would with a light shield. With the wider view.I highly recommend this headset system for anyone frustrated by Apple's out of the box options.-----Congratulations to the engineers for doing such a fine job, relative to every other solution I tried.As an engineer, I have two suggestions:1) A weightless light shield made of black silk, cloth, thin foam, or other non-load bearing material would be a great option. It could attach around the front perimeter, like Apple's hard light shield, or be fitted more closely around the eyes and lenses. The lens magnets would likely be strong enough to hold onto material with small magnets around the lenses. I am going to create a custom cloth shield for myself.1) I appreciate the optional front-to-back velcro strap. But it would be great if the front and back straps it connects to both had slots it could thread through. The current method of attaching under the foam of the front strap works fine, but is a little wonky. And not easy to adjust when wearing the set. And after all the options you already provide, its asking a lot, but thin foam on one side of the strap would be perfection.I only ask for more from your system, because I am never going back to anyone else's and would be happy to buy any new version updates you make.

The Globular Cluster CMA1 proved to be superior to all other alternatives when balancing the Vision Pro. This product's main selling point exists in its thick back support which enables weight distribution across the headset thus offering better comfort along with reduced heavy forefeel. The comfort improvement becomes apparent when using this device for extended periods since it disperses weight better thus minimizing facial and neck strain.The open face design stands out because it enables improved ventilation when wearing this headset for longer periods of time. Its open-face design makes the headset feel both weightless and breathable thus benefitting users who need it for extended gameplay.A new case which matches CMA1 should be your purchase for maximum compatibility. The extra protective case serves as both a security system and a convenience feature to safeguard everything inside it. Users can enhance their overall experience by using the combination of Vision Pro and this new case regardless of their professional or recreational activities.This equipment stands as a top recommendation before anyone chooses to enhance the breathability along with comfort and stability features of their Vision Pro.

The Globular Cluster for Vision Pro definitely works to relieve pressure of the Vision Pro on my cheek bones. The weight is transferred to my forehead and crown and allows longer wearing of the Vision Pro without discomfort. There is adequate adjustment with the knob on the unit to fit my head well.

This headset is amazing and I've had great results with it. It removes all discomfort/pressure and I am able to wear the Vision Pro all day. The unique mechanism they use allows the user to adjust the pressure/fit via a circular nob at the back. There are different sets of cushions on the front and back to provide different levels of comfort which I also liked. It allows me to remove pressure from the light seal. The light seal can also be removed for an enhanced experience and field of view. The install is easy and they provide a video on how to install it. I also found their support team to be super helpful in answering all my questions and providing guidance as needed. I highly recommend this headset for the Vision Pro. Very happy with this purchase!

This device is easy to install on the Vision Pro and provides a wide distribution of the weight of the device across the top of the head. I have been able to comfortably wear the VP for up to 2 hr whereas 30 minutes with any of Apple’s bands was my limit. The device comes with a variety of head pads etc. that can replace all of the Apple equipment. The construction of the device is high quality. I have only two complaints. The large button for tightening on the rear of the device is unwieldy and uncomfortable when using the VP in a high back chair. My second complaint is that it took three weeks to get the device here from China. Overall I highly recommend this product.
