In my review of Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional I speculated that the Solo Knit Band exists extra for aesthetic advertising and marketing photographs of its elegant design than really supporting the headset’s weight.

This suggestions may even seemingly be included into future Imaginative and prescient headsets, as weight and luxury are reportedly prime priorities for Apple’s designers and engineers.
