Although it has only been on the market for 6 months, and is not yet available in all countries, you can already find all kinds of accessories for the Apple Vision Pro online. In this first analysis of the device I already mentioned some essential ones to accompany it. to Apple’s first spatial computing device: carrying bag and a battery holder with belt hook.
However, It is possible to find almost everything for the device: supports of any kind, carrying bags smaller than Apple’s, protective covers for the external screen or the internal lenses… also various accessories to relieve or distribute the weight of the visor on our head.
Among those available in Spain, I have been testing for several weeks the ANNAPRO A1a first version of a comfort headband which promises to alleviate some of the weight and improve comfort during long days of use. And you’ve probably found another almost essential accessory for Apple Vision Pro users.
APPLE’s AUGMENTED REALITY GLASSES are called VISION PRO and look like SCIENCE FICTION
Spatial computing anywhere
It is the First summer spent with Apple Vision Proand that means that until the holidays arrive, we must teleworking even when away from home. For me, Apple Vision Pro is essential for having an extended work desk, with a giant monitor floating in front of me and other spatial apps for everyday use comfortably around me.
As I mentioned in my review, it takes a few days to get used to the daily use of the device – as it is not natural to work with a visor on your head. After these days, it is easier to use because we learn how to put it on and adjust it to our head naturally. In my use, about 4 or 5 hours a day, I have ended up using the Solo Knit Band – the braided knit one – as I have become accustomed to the weight of it and it is very comfortable to put on and take off.
The Dual Loop Band, also included, is a little more comfortable For some, it features a higher “headband” that balances the weight better. In my case, I prefer the Solo Knit Band because that headband – on my head – sits too far back, when the weight would be better distributed in front, in the forehead area.
This is precisely the basic idea of ANNAPRO with its A1: a visor that gathers from the forehead and is able to lighten the weight of the visor by between 60% and 90%. In fact, there are many options of this type, but I liked the proposal of this brand for its comfort, versatility and build quality.
ANNAPRO A1, perfect fit and extreme care
Comfort is its greatest strength. The combination of a Soft material and a well thought out suspension design makes it fit the curve of your head almost perfectly. Its lightness is surprising, and the best thing is that you can use the Apple Vision Pro for hours without feeling any kind of pressure or discomfort. In my experience, the stability is exceptional, with no awkward movements – even when moving your head – which really enhances immersion in daily use.
One key aspect that has caught my attention is how ANNAPRO A1 has addressed facial pressure. The helmet-inspired design really works; I have noticed a significant reduction in pressure on the cheekbones and around the eyessomething that can become annoying during very long sessions. In my tests, the relief is palpable, and this makes the user experience much more pleasant.
Using Apple Vision Pro without Light Seal using the ANNAPRO A1 achieves a better field of view of the immersive space.
Here is a special mention for a spectacular use: the Using Apple Vision Pro without Using the Light Sealthat is, the “mask” that fits the device against our face. Thanks to the ANNAPRO accessory, we can use the visor without it touching our face – it is perfect for the summer. It is held perfectly by the upper grip and the rear adjustment of the Apple strap.
This use allows us to even expand the FOV (Field Of View, the field of view with the device) and by lightening the weight it is very comfortable for work and to be able to have some peripheral vision. In my case of personal use, I still prefer to use it with the Light Seal (I prioritize immersion over FOV), but it is worth highlighting the spectacular use that ANNAPRO offers us with its accessory in this way.
Personalization is also a plus. The package includes two sponge pads of different thicknesses.allowing for a custom fit to each user’s head shape. I tested both thicknesses (10mm and 15mm), and I must say that both offer excellent comfort, although the thicker option provided a firmer fit in my case. This is a detail that not all manufacturers take into account, and ANNAPRO is right in offering these options.
The tape has no moving parts (It is rigid, but with a flexible point to adapt to our head), so the pads also serve to adapt it to the shape of our head. The ANNAPRO team was kind enough to send me some other pads in other sizes, but I consider the ones that come in the original They can be perfect for almost everyone.They adhere with velcro and are easily washable (a very positive point).
To install it, you just need to slide the ANNAPRO A1 into the side straps of the Apple Vision Pro
As for installation, it is very simple and safe. The best thing is that There is no risk of damaging the original accessories of the Apple Vision Pro. I simply removed the anchor from the original strap, aligned the ANNAPRO A1 on both sides of the device and inserted it over the headphones. Within seconds, it was ready to use.
The material it is constructed from does not scratch or strain any part of the Apple Vision Pro’s side straps where they attach (very firmly). In One smooth, effortless movement and everything falls into placeleaving room for sound and even the power indicator that connects to the battery. There are no complications and no special tools required, which is a relief for those who value simplicity, protection of their equipment and being able to put it on or take it off anywhere.
Perfect for everyday use
Without a doubt, the ANNAPRO A1 strap for Apple Vision Pro is a significant improvement in terms of comfort and customization. The lightness and ergonomic design really make a difference, allowing you to use the Apple Vision Pro for long sessions without feeling fatigue or discomfort. This is especially important for those users who have incorporated spatial computing into their daily work or leisure space.
A balanced price in a versatile, comfortable and quality device for Apple Vision Pro users on a daily basis
The price in my opinion is adjusted to what it offers: 32,95€and of course they ship to Europe/Spain. It is not an expensive deviceand can be one of the essentials for those looking for that extra bit of comfort. It can be carried in the Apple Vision Pro carrying case from Apple, since despite being rigid it can be folded slightly into the space around the visor.
The ease of installation and the inclusion of customization options such as pads of different thicknesses are details that reinforce the quality of the product. Not only is it easy to mount without risk of damaging the device, but it also allows a precise fit according to personal preferences. One of the accessories that undoubtedly provides a significantly improved user experience for the Apple Vision Pro.
