Some of these latter bands are out in the wild. They don't work because in the dual loop, you need to counteract the lifting force of the top strap with a downward angled back strap.

Can anybody speak to the experience with prescription lens attachments?
I’ve tried a few VR sets over the past couple of years and none of them work with my glasses, so I’m wondering if the custom-made prescription inserts are effective, comfortable, etc.

I don’t see the point in voting because either you like it or you don’t. I like it in fact I love it and I’ve gotten so much use out of it. But bear in mind I’m not on this thing 24/7. I use it a few times a day for a period of time and then I switch back to my other set up.
They're pretty good, and I've got no complaints. Some people report some eyestrain, though. The passthru is still a bit blurry, but that's the passthru cameras' problem -- not the lenses. Virtual displays and text are pretty clear. Text isn't quite razor sharp, but I think that's due to antialiasing smoothing; it's very nice, otherwise.
However, be aware that only a certain range of prescriptions can be handled. That's probably due to the eye tracking not being able to handle lenses that distort the tracking too much.
Edit: also, unrelated to the lenses, there seems to be a little airflow inside, and that can dry your eyes out.

Interesting — probably a good idea to bring the inserts to the doctor once received to verify the prescription. I wonder if this has been the cause of headaches for some users.
Mine work fine. Rather impressed that I can read my iPhone (even though it is curved) with no problem. Virtual Mac display is also great.
All I know is with mine things are sharp, without them everything is blurry. Hence I conclude they are doing their job and are unobtrusive as well.
Me thinks he means the opposite was true. His prescription was off and needed to be corrected, not the lenses.
I always give a week or so to break in to new shoes,and same goes for personal devices. It felt weird at first when I upgraded from iPhone 7 Plus to my 13 PM. Same with AirPod Max, but went smooth after few days. I will probably not buy AvP 1st gen but will probably try in an Apple Store in coming months.
As your facial structure adjusts to AvP the device will become more and more comfortable to wear...

It’s is absolutely getting better with time for me. I can easily wear it well past when the battery needs charging. I’ve hooked it up to the battery on multiple occasions as 2 and a half hours isn’t enough time for me. I just wish there was an easy way to add a digital clock somewhere so I could keep a better handle on how long I’ve been using it! I’m sure we’ll have that option soon.
Widgetsmith has a clock you can add. Also like Day Peek, if you don’t mind spending $3
Thanks for the info. Apple has to revamp the App Store highlighting all of the apps available for this thing ASAP. App discovery right now is a bad joke.
