Wearing The Hololens Comfortably
The Hololens really pushes down hard on the bridge of my nose and gives me a headache. I'm using the top strap. Does anyone have any tips for wearing the Hololens comfortably?

If you still have the nosepiece attached to the device, then I would suggest removing it (it pulls right out). Most people find the nosepiece uncomfortable. After you get rid of the nosepiece, you should be able to adjust the visor (push it in, pull it out, tilt it up/down) so that the device does not touch your face.

Try to make sure the inner ring that touches your head is angled up such that the band is resting just above the hairline. If its too far down on your forehead, you will have to tighten things too much to keep it from slipping down which is uncomfortable in its own right. I've found that I can even tilt the visor up so that it doesn't even touch my nose if its resting on the top of my forehead.

One option that has been mentioned in other posts is to use the head strap. I find it MUCH better, especially for longer sessions. You can adjust it easily so no weight is sitting on your nose.
