It's a shame the solo knit band seems to be form-over-function, it looks cool and a ton of work clearly went into developing it, but nearly everyone seems to find the much simpler dual loop band to be more practical.

e: I stand corrected, the reviewers I've watched mostly preferred the dual loop but there's plenty of solo knit fans here. I guess that YMMV factor is why they include both.




Joining the chorus of voices who say they found the solo band horrible, switched the dual loop, and the ended up switching back to the solo band.


Dual loop hurt. Once you figure out the solo knit needs to be worn higher up it’s way better.


I prefer the solo band over the dual loop. I've used it since launch with the solo band. It should sit slightly high on the back of your head.


Anecdotally the solo knit is much more comfortable on my head than the dual loop. The dual loop seems designed for people with more elongated heads.

As the owner of a long head, I definitely struggled with feeling like I couldn't get the VP to sit right for my eyes with the solo loop. The dual resolved that easily.

Then you get to have the single loop as new fidget toy.


I just wanted to say hi to the Apple surveyors gathering this data for v2. /wave


I’m immensely enjoying the solo knit.
