It’s about the imbalanced weight which is meaningfully different from total weight as you have 3axis involved. Reducing the weight won’t solve the pain problem from prolonged use but you frequently hear this complaint from customers that the headset is too heavy when in reality that’s not actually it. If you counterbalance it helps but most such techniques still only counterbalance front/back and not side to side. There are even extended battery packs that help with this which seems like a good albeit expensive compromise but I haven’t tried them. But still that’s only back/front and not side to side.

I tried back-mounted battery with a 3rd party head gear thingy which alone (no battery) makes the AVP more comfortable; with the battery strapped on the back it is more balanced and somewhat comfortable but just far too heavy for me.
- vlovich123 2y agoI’m not saying total weight doesn’t matter at all. I don’t know the weight of the AVP setup. And as you not properly balancing helped. Also remember that I note that you’re laterally imbalanced even when you fix the front/back issue. But it’s obvious that total weight does matter (eg a 1 ton weight would crush your spine) but below some threshold it’s more about weight distribution and balance than total weight.
