The BOBOVR M3 Pro is a halo-style head strap for Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S with a removable B2 battery. It can redistribute headset load and extend a session, but it belongs to BOBOVR’s older 12 W B2 battery ecosystem. Buyers comparing it with newer B100-based straps should understand that difference first.

Fit and battery behavior
A halo strap carries more load across the forehead and rear support. Some people prefer that distribution; others find an elite-style strap more stable during quick movement. Face shape, hair, and facial interface affect the result, so comfort is not universal.
BOBOVR’s runtime figure is an estimate. Mixed reality, brightness, refresh rate, applications, charge level, and battery age all matter. The B2 can be exchanged without removing the strap, but it is not interchangeable with BOBOVR’s newer B100 platform.
Setup and accessory considerations
Install both arms fully, align the rear and forehead supports, then tighten gradually. Keep the USB-C lead free of tension. The rear battery can counterbalance the headset, but total system weight increases.
Cases and facial interfaces are not universally compatible with halo straps. Check our carrying-case comparison and VR accessories hub before assuming fit.
Pros, cons, and alternatives
Pros
- Hot-swappable magnetic battery
- Halo design reduces reliance on facial pressure
- Quest 3 and 3S compatibility
Cons
- Older B2 battery system
- Adds weight
- Runtime is only an estimate
BOBOVR’s newer S3 Pro uses the B100 platform; see our S3 Pro review. The KIWI K4 is lighter and battery-free.
Bottom line
The M3 Pro is an established B2-system halo strap, not automatically BOBOVR’s best current choice. Verify the package and included battery on the current listing.
