Best head strap for Nintendo Labo VR iMore 2021
Nintendo has tried plenty of different gaming accessories in the past, and the Labo VR headset is right up there with them. However, if you are searching for the best Labo VR head strap, it may come as a surprise that Nintendo did not include one in its design. This was an odd move for the video game giant and has proved troublesome for weary-armed Labo VR users. Gamers have had to find their own fixes with options like the Comfort Set for Labo VR until straps made specifically for the Nintendo Switch came out like the Old Skool VR Head Strap Kit. There aren't many out there, but we've looked at additional head strap options to determine the best solutions for this Nintendo Labo product.
Best overall: Old Skool VR Head Strap Kit
Source: Old Skool
Old Skool specifically made this strap for Nintendo Labo VR Kit. It's a comfortable, adjustable strap that works perfectly with the headset so you can play without keeping your hands raised all the time. You can easily take it off when you're done and adjust it again to fit multiple people.
This appears to be one of the only head straps specifically designed for the Nintendo Labo VR Ki, making it our choice for the best Labo VR head strap. Sadly the design doesn't include having the Joy-Cons attached. It's the one downside to this headset kit.
Pros:
- Adjustable
- Designed for Labo VR
- Easily removable
Cons:
- Can't be used with Joy-Cons

Old Skool VR Head Strap Kit
A headstrap specifically designed for Labo VR
Old Skool's head strap is the best option right now. It's a secure fit for adults and kids but doesn't allow Joy-Con attachment.
Best for Joy-Cons: Comfort Set for Labo VR

Sweat Proof Gaming came out with a great, comfortable headset with stretchy straps to fit all. This is the only headset designed for Nintendo Switch Labo VR that does allow for the Joy-Cons to be connected. It is probably the best Labo VR head strap for Joy-Cons of headsets we have seen.
We didn't list this as our overall best choice because it is currently only available for pre-order for the next batch. This is a popular head strap that regularly sells out. When they do sell out, pre-ordering ensures you will get a head strap when the next set is made.
Pros:
- Joy-Con compatible
- Stretchy fit
- Made for Nintendo Labo VR
Cons:
- Only one color
- Sells out regularly
Best for Joy-Cons
Comfort Set for Labo VR
A Joy-Con friendly choice
One of the only head straps compatible with Joy-Cons. This sells out often, pre-order to get yours in the next batch.
Best cardboard alternative: OIVO 3D VR Glasses

If the cardboard options aren't your style, try out the OIVO 3D VR Glasses made with EVA and Oxford. It doesn't allow for any game that requires the Joy-Con attachments to stay on the system, but it does have a great design for holding the console itself.
These straps are adjustable, so it will be able to fit both adults and children, but the nose notch may not fit those with a larger nose. Not only can you adjust the straps on the sides of the head but also across the top too. This provides a more customized fit for everyone.
Pros
- Adjustable straps on sides and top
- Great design for holding the console
- Comfortable soft material for cushion on the face
Cons
- May not fit larger noses

Visor advisor
Labo VR is just one option in every Nintendo Labo Kit you can buy today. There aren't a lot of options out there for Labo VR head straps, but we found a few that work really well. You'll want a head strap that is inexpensive, adjustable, made of a comfortable material, and sits securely on your head.
For the best possible experience, we recommend Old Skool VR Head Strap Kit. It was designed specifically for the Labo VR headset and includes adjustable straps to fit a range of users. This way, you won't have to modify or create a strap on your own, and there is less wait time for you to receive the strap.
