This is not exciting in any way. It's just a head-strap. Wireless, which was said to start pre-orders by the end of March, is going to be the big upgrade.

I want the head-strap without the headphones.

the vive head strap is the worst out of all three major headsets. The new one should be a considerable improvement.
To me, that's a good reason to get excited.

It's especially a big deal to anyone who shares their Vive frequently. Adjusting the straps is a pain and most people set it up wrong which makes the fitment terrible.
The new strap should fix that problem.

Every-time I show the Vive to someone or let my wife play I have to re-adjust the head-strap. Annoying. Especially when there are 7 people over and they all want to try it.
