Improvement with headsets good enough to upgrade to 3D Vision version 2 glasses?
  1 / 2    
Hi folks, I have a Plantronics Gamecom 367 Closed Ear Gaming Headset and wearing that over the version 1 glasses results in the arms/sides of the glasses pressing in against the sides of my head. After a while it becomes very uncomfortable to the point of actually hurting/causing pain. I tried putting some foam on the inside of the arms of the glasses but it doesn't help a lot. I have read the following: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/514351/nvidia-3d-vision-2-glasses-good-ideas-poor-execution-review/ http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1742/4/ http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2397070,00.asp http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=1553391&mpage=1&print=true and the consensus seems to be they are an improvement but not perfect. I am wondering if the improvement justifies buying Version 2 glasses? Sean_V12 mentions sanding down the plastic - so I'm also wondering if the version 2 glasses are easier to modify to make them more comfortable with wearing headsets? Thanks Damian. P.S. has anyone tried shortening the arms and attached the glasses to something like an 'alice band' which would extended down to where the glasses normally 'dig in' when wearing headsets?

I feel bad for you suffering this long, heres what you do. 1. Put your headphones on normally 2. Treating the top of the cups as your ears, put the glasses on 3. Ultimate win Assuming you can't do that for some reason, the V2's are a million miles better than the V1 glasses for this. I have both and the V1's really dig in and let alot of noise escape, the V2's are flatter so don't put all the pressure on your head in one place, and don't push the cups out so much. Unless its super expensive to do so I'd reccomend going to the V2 glasses anyway. Battery life is supposedly better and I get considerably more ghosting on my V1's.

Thanks Cookybiscuit! Unfortunately I'm in Australia and it seems that distributors here are only selling the full kit (AU $169) and not the glasses separately. Nvidia doesn't sell to Australia and I can't get the glasses from Amazon.com either (We are not able to ship this item to your default shipping address) :\

[quote="daemondamian"] P.S. has anyone tried shortening the arms and attached the glasses to something like an 'alice band' which would extended down to where the glasses normally 'dig in' when wearing headsets? [/quote] Hey Daemond, I own both NVidia 1 & 2 glasses. First of all I will start with one point against my thoughts. 1: I have read of a couple of people on here who suggest that their NVidia 2 glasses have marginally less ghosting. (I have not seen this myself on initial tests.) OK, so, my thoughts: Nvidia 1: + Seems like more FOV to me (it's an illusion, explained in Nv2) + No reflections on rim - Battery life is only 40hrs (which imo is more than enough) - Arguably less comfortable - positively shit for wearing headphones (the rims curl by the ear outwards.... dumb) Nvidia 2: + Arguably more comfortable + 60 hours battery + Good for wearing headphones - Insane reflective thick rims make it look like your looking into a kaleidoscope. - Thick rims make it feel like your wearing a scuba mask, and looking through a tunnel. So NVidia 2 looks like it has more positives, but the reflective rims KILL the experience for me. I genuinely feel claustrophobic when i'm wearing them. I only wear Nvidia 1 glasses, and if it does have a tad more ghosting (which I didn't see) then I would say it was worth it. If you play with a headset though, only get the NVidia 2.. which it sounds like you want too. Lightboost works equally the same on both NVidia 1 & 2 glasses. Hope that helps.

I would like to wear headphones sometimes and I can't comfortably do that with the N1's

[quote="Cookybiscuit"] Also not sure what you mean about the reflective rims, but I get the swim goggle comment.[/quote] The rims of the glasses (wrapped around each lense) stick out by around 5mm, which is quite considerably more then the N1's thinner profile. The rims are ultra reflective, and when I'm looking at the screen, I can see the reflection of the screen all around the rim. This creates a tunnel effect to me, and once I noticed it (took 20 minutes from first use) my brain really focused in on it. Kind of like a quiet noise you can hear when your trying to sleep, that once you notice becomes a loud racket in your head. It's a visual disturbance that seems to effect me more then it does you guys, but it really bugs me. Then again I have read that other people have put matt tape on the rims to stop this. So I know I'm not alone, even if maybe I am in the minority.

I generally agree with foreverseeking's comments on the 3DV2 glasses. My own observations below: 1) The 20% larger claim is negated by the inset lenses, as the border around your eyes effectively reduces the increased lens size. It's like cupping your hands around your eyes. 2) The glare from the bezel is annoying, many monitors used to do this also for some reason. Easy solution for me was to use a bit of painters masking tape (blue kind) and attach it on the inside. No more glare. 3) They are generally more comfortable imo, mainly because the arms of the 3DV1 glasses were about as painful as a vice clamped on the back of your head after a few hours. I still removed the two plastic pads from each arm and wrapped them in a foam dampening material. 4) Neither 3DV1 or 3DV2 glasses are comfortable enough to wear underneath circumaural headphones. As mentioned, sound will escape and start pressing the arms into your head uncomfortably. I just rest the arms on top of the headsets now, but be advised, in some games this can result in some odd ghosting (Mafia 2 for example). I've used both Sennheiser RS130 and Logitech G930 as frame of reference. 5) Battery life should be about the same as 3DV1.1, around 60 hours. There was a 2nd revision of the 3DV1 glasses that increased the battery life by about 50% from the initial 40 hours. 6) Overall I've found the ghosting, brightness, image quality to be about the same on both my 3DV1 and 3DV2 glasses, so I think it would come down to cost and aesthetics for most people. 7) One minor annoyance is that the glasses use different chargers now, 3DV1 uses miniUSB and 3DV2 uses microUSB.

I've never experianced the reflective rim issue on the V2's, its actually something I got on V1 glasses reflecting ambient light on the top part above the lenses. Guess its going to come down to how people wear them and that sort of thing. To the issue of the lenses being recessed, I believe this to be a benefit, since it combats ghosting in around the edges of your vision. I do overall prefer the V2 glasses, for the ghosting and the fact that they are bigger meaning they manage to block out some of your peripheral vision and let less ambient light in, I like to just focus on the monitor. V1's I found were more comfortable overall though, slimmer nose pieces and less weight.

Hello everybody - thanks heaps for your informative replies! If I were to try the V2 glasses it seems the reflective rim is an issue but can be fixed by covering it up. Is the microUSB that the 3DV2 uses A or B in this photo?; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Mini_and_Micro_connectors Does the 3DV2 glasses that are sold separately come with the microUSB cable for charging or not (?) and is it safe to use another microUSB cable (I have one for my camera) as stated here http://www.amazon.com/cable-charge-kindle-laptop-special/forum/Fx3HXYK6MH5XDYA/Tx30GC0IARVNG7T/1?asin=B002Y27P4Q [i]Yes, any microUSB cable should work, since the power provided by USB hubs can be 'negotiated' by the device connected to them; they do not just push out a static amount of power, the device 'tells' the USB hub the amount of power required, the appropriate voltage, etc. Therefore, yes, it's safe to use any microUSB cable.[/i] If I needed to use the Nvidia cable specifically then obviously I would have to buy the whole kit leaving me with an extra emitter. Oh btw how are the nose pieces with the V2 glasses? I had to end up taping the nose piece to my V1 glasses as it kept falling off!

Never used V1, jumped in on V2 and i have no issue with glare. I put my glasses tilted forward, putting the arms above the headphone since putting them under the headphones is pure pain. Actually consider cutting them off and putting a flexible fabric of some sort.

Update for anyone interested: I sawed off the arms of the V1 glasses. I was going to drill holes and attach an elastic band to go over my head and hold the glasses on but I couldn't find any elastic suitable. What I did find was my old Edimensional 3D glasses with their very thin arms and a length of cord with 2 small elastic loops on the ends. So I used black plumbers tape and attached the old Edimensional arms to the Nvidia V1 glasses. Then I stretched the small elastic loops over each arm/side of the glasses and several more layers/pieces of tape and I was done - no drilling required! It should be along time if ever before the tape stops working and needs redoing. The cord fits amply over my head and allows me to take off the glasses and have them hang there against my chest without having to completely take them off and put them down somewhere. Most importantly I can put on my headphones then pick the glasses back up and slide them on *and* they slide under the headphones and rest on top of my ears but the headphones don't press upon the arms *at all*!! Here's 2 pics: [IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/daemondamian/Miscellaneous/glasses20003_zpsb4c436f4.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/daemondamian/Miscellaneous/glasses20004_zpsf2486ce6.jpg[/IMG] - sure the mod looks kind of ugly but now the glasses function perfectly with headphones and that's all I care about :) I wish I had done this a long time ago!
