expert2000 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hey, after hundreds of hours playing dcs with my hp reverb my head strap got broken. I tried to RMA to HP EMCA division, but it was rejected as its a mechanical damage. I`ve also asked for a paid service to repair this thing, but they told they are not able to fix this (!?) and only option for me is to buy a new headset! Nice huh? So after googling I found solution on IL-2 sturmovik forums. Hope it will help someone. Below you can find pictures of my headset - before & after fix. I can confirm - it works better than original. https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/61084-hp-reverb-plastic-strap-on-the-side-broken-solution/ 1 PC: Intel Core i7-9700K 4.9 GHz | Palit RTX 2080 GameRock 8GB GDDR6 256BIT | MSI Z390-A-PRO | Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 32GB (4x8GB) 3000MHz CL15@3200MHZ XMP | 512GB Samsung 850 PRO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit 1909 Gear: HP Reverb Pro V2 (Rift S Before)| Saitek X56 Rhino HOTAS | Logitech G Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullShatStats Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Hey I have this same problem now. It looks like the fix for me since HP is giving me the same run around. What size tube did you use? Did you use any type of adhesive between the tube and strap? cheers Edited January 27, 2021 by BullShatStats Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullShatStats Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Ok I’ll just answer my own question here if anybody has this issue in the future. I used a 28mm size bicycle tyre and no adhesive was required. It fit snug and as the other guys said, it is a better fit than before. It took all of five minutes to fix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaiskool Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) Hey boys just repaired mine. *Soldering Iron *Flat head needle with bent end (so its not sliding inside the material when pulling the strap) I glued the two parts just to make them together, then i took my needle, put it over the two broken part, and pushed the needle with the soldering iron deep inside the plastic. It will heat the needle and melt the material. pushed the needle inside the strap, then with the flat part of the soldering iron try to cover the needle with melted plastic. Maybe not clean AF, but it's working nicely. Edited May 13 by plaiskool info add 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerzone Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Interesting. So the OP was about the HP Reverb G1, and the last 2 are for the HP Reverb G2. Still the same flaw in designs, and same zero-support from HP? Interesting. But very interesting and creative fixes. I do like the ingenuity of it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
