What? you tried 8 straps and none of them worked?
At launch there was an issue with them where they would work for a bit then stop working/charging the headset. There were a few big threads about it at the time on reddit and somewhere else. I ended up giving up in the end, I still have it and it doesn't work. Although to be fair I haven't turned the headset on in about 6 months so a firmware update might have fixed it.
The problem you are talking about only affected the Elite Straps from Meta. This was solved after a few months.
There was separate issue with some AIB headstraps, BoboVR and Aubika, that they didn't use a strong enough battery in the first batch of straps they released. They fixed this very quickly.
If you purchased any Custom Head strap from December 2023 on, you should have had no problems. Unless you were just very unlucky and got old stock sent out to you 8 times.
Did you try 8 different headstraps or 8 straps from Meta?
Interesting. All 8 elite headstraps were from Amazon. I'm pretty certain I'll be out of warranty now, I'll have to check my Amazon account. Thanks for the info.

methinks he's also experiencing the change in proximity sensor sensitivity causing the blackouts after a recent update.
