Can anyone recommend foam-pads for Odyssey+?

[Jyge]

I made a following mod myself:

 

 

Couple of elastic straps and then couple of non-elastic straps. Got most of the material by ordering a GoPro headstraps from amazon ~8 EUR and taking it apart. Pretty comfy, do not need to screw the hoop from hell past the headache level anymore.

 

 

 

However, I am still not perfectly happy with the face foampads. The material is nice and all that but it could be slightly thicker and moreover the nosecover is chafing my nose and I do not necessarily need light coming in from that opening. I read from somewhere somebody using some velcro spacers or so to elevate the foam - or can someone recommend some facepad kit that would do with Odyssey+ and possibly cover the nose as well?

Nice straps... I made mine out of paracord - the stuff that dreams are made of.

 

Use masking tape to mark where your cheekbones are; pull the O+ foam away and insert DrScholls pads under the foam and push it back in place. I can wear my O+ for hours now without pain. Let me know how it turns out.

Hi can you perhaps post an amazon link so that I can get a better idea. Searching it in amazon myself got a battery of solutions for my foot fungus and 6th toe or what not even something to fill my bras with but I got no wiser for the actual dilemma.

 

 

I also heard that someone got some double sided velcro straps hat offsetted the original foam some.

 

 

Meanwhile I ordered myself already this https://vrcover.com/product/samsung-odyssey-plus-replacement/

 

 

No idea if it is better in any ways - I do not mind the original foam, just the way the whole thing interacts with my nose, so I could use some more thickness and something nice for my beak...

For God sake don't buy it at Amazon - resellers jack up prices to rediculus levels there. Just go to the local drug store and ask for foot pads. You're looking for something made of silicone or felt to widen the gap between the O+ and the foam. The foam on the O+ is about perfect but just needs to be reshaped. Felt floor protectors would also work...

 

 

Something like this

https://www.amazon.com/Self-Stick-Furniture-Round-Felt-Surfaces/dp/B001WAK5XE/ref=sr_1_7?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1550006539&sr=1-7&keywords=felt+chair+floor+protectors

Just cut to size

 

 

You could use cardboard note pad backing for that matter. Just let your imagination run wild.

 

 

 

 

 

The new gap on mine only measures 0.200 inch. YMMV...
