Question for Beyondex owners: how easy was the build process? Did you use the official kit or source everything separately? For those who bought the kit, how long did it take to ship after ordering?

I despise the Beyond Audio Strap and the soft strap, and I am considering the Beyondex, but I'm unsure.

Major lenses glair, halo mount shipping?

Hi I’ve had my big screen for about 10 months now and the entire time I’ve been experiencing major lenses glair that is not from scratches or anything like that and was wondering if anyone else has this issue.
Order the halo mount back in September of last year and still haven’t received it have they started shipping yet? Anyone know what happening with them.

New headphones!!

Got a cheap pair of USB-C over ear headphones. Took them apart so I just had the earphones themselves. 3D printed a 19mmx19mmx12mm cube with a hole in the center. Glued that to the inside so I could press a heated thread insert in (took the one out of the original headphones). Took the screws out of the back of the headset to run the little wire between decide, and she's ready to go.

When I get another wild hair I'll cut the cable and shorten it so I don't have to wrap it around the headband, but for now it works just fine

Do I need Base Station to try it?

Currently own a Q3 and would like to try BSB2 and see if I like it. I don't own any Base Stations or Index controllers. Before fully commiting to the ecosystem, can the headset be connected to STEAMVR somehow (keyboard?) and use a regular game pad just to try it?

About FOV measurements

Has anyone measured their FOV for their bsb2e and found that it's better than advertised?

I recently measured mine for my Index and found it slightly better on the vertical than advertised. I want to order the bsb2e but am concerned about feeling like I'm giving up FOV real estate. I know that FOV varies based on face shape, apparently mine is good for getting a little more out of the FOV, just wondering if anyone can report favorably here as is or with different face cushions.

Questions about performance of 9070xt

Just as the title suggests, I was wondering if I’d have any issues running the BSB2 with my 9070xt? I am coming from having a valve index and i mainly plain shooters or games for content creation (really want to get into ghost of tabor) so I guess I wanted to know what kind of performance I should expect with the 9070xt? Would I be able to run things at native resolution? Should I lower the resolution? Hows is the overall performance.

My specs are:

Gpu: 9070xt steel legend
Cpu: ryzen 9 9900x3d
Ram: 64gb ddr5 ram
Storage: total 5tb nvme gen 5

To further add at some point i will upgrade to an nvidia gpu but just wanted to know if I should expect to do that sooner than later

Getting a 2e, what do I need for the setup?

What all do I need for it? Its hard to find a solid guide on all the best options. What controllers and base stations do I get? Does it have a built in microphone and a 3.5mm/usbc for headphones

I'm planning to use it primarily for vrchat

Advice on selling BSB2e

*Delete if not allowed*
Anyone know of a good place to sell a BSB2e, I have one that’s only been used a few times, I just thought I’d use it more but don’t get much out of it. I have it up locally and there’s been little to no interest. I’m selling it with the universal face cushion, audio strap and 2 2.0 base stations.

Anyone have any ideas on where I can sell it relatively quickly?

Direct Drive Wheel EMI and Link Booster

So I was having trouble for a long time with tracking and gray screens due to EMI from my DD Wheel, i have tried grounding everything, change the route of cables, and still occasionally i would have the issue, at the end, it was only happening when the wheel was static, so I usually had to wiggle the wheel with one hand while doing anything else but driving to fight this.

This week I got the Link Booster ( https://store.bigscreenvr.com/products/link-booster ) , to fix a different issue (Audio Crackle), and OMG.

I don't have any issue with the EMI anymore,it is buttery smooth 99% of the time.

Why isn't this pinned somewhere, i mean, i had completely accepted my faith before.

Edit: Just to be clear,I got this for free by contacting the support,and it should be included by default in the new shipments, my point is that this isn't advertised as a solution to DD EMI issues.

I think this happened when Bigscreen sent me a thinner face cusion. The right lense slowly slips to a higher IPD. It was off by a good 5 or 6mm after a month. I'm going to start checking it every week, but has anyone heard of this?
