The use of quality materials for the Apple Vision Pro will ensure that the $3,499 headset is as premium as it comes, but the lack of plastic will also increase its weight, resulting in guaranteed head strain. It also does not help the fact that irrespective of which storage version you purchase, the company will not bundle any accessory that could increase the wear-time and release the pressure from your head. Thankfully, ResMed, a pioneer when it comes to developing sleep apnea machines and masks, has developed a solution called the Kontor Head Strap, but this add-on should have been mass produced and sold by Apple, knowing the heft of their product.
The Kontor Head Strap from ResMed for the Apple Vision Pro is currently priced at $119.95 in the U.S., but no release date is available right now
The accessory is currently listed on Apple’s U.S. online store for $119.95, but as you would expect, AR headset owners cannot immediately purchase it because there is no release date mentioned. Regardless, ResMed’s head strap is designed to optimize the wear-time of the Apple Vision Pro, with the description below stating that the premium materials used will be gentle on the skin.
“Designed for Apple Vision Pro, the ResMed Kontor Head Strap delivers the perfect balance of softness and support — stationary and in motion. Optimized to extend wear-time, it’s crafted with a blend of ultra-premium materials that are gentle on skin and exclusive to ResMed. The Kontor Head Strap distributes the weight of the Vision Pro with added assistance from the six included modular counterweights.”
The ResMed Kontor Head Strap’s packaging includes six counterweights, likely designed to deliver a solid balance to offset the Apple Vision Pro’s mass. Details are also provided regarding the head strap’s size, so those wanting to make a purchase down the road should check out these instructions.
Additionally, while a 12-month warranty is offered, the customer service department will be handled by ResMed, not Apple, so assuming there are some defects in the Kontor Head Strap or the product does not perform to your expectations, we do not advise taking the accessory to any Apple retail outlet because you will just be wasting your time.
