BoboVR Swiveling Headphones Mount
Description
This mod to "atst133's" excellent design allows headphones to swivel Left/Right/Up/Down while holding the headphones to your ears. I prefer "Over The Ear Headphones", but this mount should work with a wide variety of headphones styles, as well as work with most of "VQ2 Helmet-Style" VR Head-straps. My wife and our friends have been using the design for some weeks now, and we love it. We're using it on BoboVR M2 Head-Straps, but atst133 designed it for the Meta Head-Strap, but it works just as well on the BoboVR M2 Head-strap. This appears to work on the BoboVR M3 Head-Straps also, but I'm basing that assumption off their specifications found online (The Quest-3's only started being delivered today, and BoboVR doesn't yet have the M3 Strap, or their promised "M2-To-M3" conversion kits "actually" out for sale yet... but it "should fit" just fine) I Remixed the files to use the wired version of the inexpensive "OneOdio" Headphones (About $30 at Amazon), but I've also included a Top Part that should fit the Sony MDR-ZX110 Headphones that atst133 originally designed it for. You'll need a little skill with soldering to remove the "over the head connector wire" in the OneOdio headphones, and to re-solder the extra red "Curly Cord" that comes with the headphones (Used as a patch cord to share the headphones with another person). But it's a pretty straightforward process. I used a soldering Iron to pop a hole through the body of both headphones so the new red cord comes out in a convenient location, and then used small Zip-Ties to secure the cord inside of both headphones so it doesn't pull loose or twist up inside the headphones. If you're using these with a Quest-3 VR unit, you might want to take this opportunity to shorten the main microphone cable for the Headphones, since Meta FINALLY put the headphone jack on the right side of the headset (Most headphone cords are located on the right-side headphone). Just grin and run a razor through the "Pleather" "Over-The-Head-Strap" of the OneOdio Headphones to help with disassembly and removing the over-head connection cord. You'll be tempted to pop loose each red stitch... the stitches are actually just decoration, so save yourself some time, cut the Pleather, toss it in the garbage. I HIGHLY suggest that you read the instructions for putting the Headphone-Holders onto your VR Headset at atst133's thing-page (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5793324), and toss him a Like for the original project files. He suggests printing using a 0.2 mm layer height, 3-4 perimeters, which I also recommend, but I've printed several using two walls and they work OK... 3-4 makes them much more sturdy though! You'll need an old bicycle inner-tube to make "Tension Bands" to pull the headphones against your ears. This Mod allows you to "Park" your headphones by resting them against the BoboVR Head-Strap, and then lift the headphones outward while you swivel them downward onto/over your ears.
