Solo knit headband seems concerning. Keeping it firmly on your head is critical, and if it’s the same/similar solo knit stuff they’ve used on the Watch, that stuff starts to notably lose its elasticity in under a year, and that’s in a use case where it isn’t supporting half a kilo of weight.

The elastic isn't used for support. There's a BOA style dial that tightens things down.

I can’t help but read that as Bank of America.

FWIW that's generally abbreviated (and pronounced) BofA (or BAML when you include Merrill Lynch for their investment banking division)

BAML is their investment banking division alone, not BofA + ML.

It's renamed to BofA Securities nowadays.

MKBHD mentions in his review that the elastic strap is more of a marketing gimmick to make the headset look unique. The solo strap makes it really uncomfortable for long periods because all the pressure goes to the front of the face. They actually include a traditional double strap VR headband with it which is much more comfortable.
