KIWI design Comfort Battery Head Strap 6400mAh Compatible with Quest 2 Accessories, Battery Pack Elite Strap Replacement for Enhanced Support

Really works nice. I gave it four stars because the the headband tightner should be knurled instead of smooth. Still it is vastly superior to than the one it came with

Grandson is very happy with this item!

I really like this headset, it is comfortable and very adjustable. The battery helps balance the Quest and doubles play time. I did have an issue that turned out to be my fault. I had to exchange the first one I got for a replacement but when the second one arrived I was having the same problem. I also bought a charging stand for the headset and the controllers. This stand came with a USB C magnetic connector and a USB A to magnetic adaptor for easy connection and disconnection from the charger. I plugged it into the Kiwis battery while it was on the charging stand. The problem was that when I disconnected the charged cable from the Kiwis battery and left the magnetic adaptor in the USB C slot the Kiwis battery wouldnt send power to the headset. Once I figured out the problem and removed the charge adaptor from the battery everything works fine. Just an FYI for anyone who has this same setup.

The counter balancing aspect to this makes it a worthy upgrade. Rather than feeling like you have a heavy device in front of your face, it evens it out. However, it puts added weight overall, and is more restrictive to move your head around. For example, looking up makes the rear strap and pad hit against your neck, reducing motion. I have to tilt my back a bit to see all the way up. I have a long skinny neck, so it would be worse for other body types. I also noticed that pressure on my cheeks increased. So much that I had to stop using it. I loosened the strap, but it made the vr wobbly. That means another needed upgrade for the face pad! The twist adjuster feels nice and sturdy. Overall it is better than the default strap, but there are unfortunate drawbacks to consider. Maybe not worth the price for casual VR users. Lastly, I used the vr for about 20 minutes. 20 minutes later I still feel the pressure points around my face and head.

The only thing I would change is the rear adjustment knob. It’s smooth and difficult to turn. Traction grooves would have taken care of that annoyance. Other than that…I’m pleased with my purchase. It’s comfortable and we’ll balanced.

Highly recommend this Elite Head Strap with the extended battery. Easy to install and very comfortable. The Quest 2 battery last about an hour but the extended battery adds about 3hrs of extra use. An extra added benefit of the extended battery is the balance of the head strap. The original strap with the Quest 2 would tilt my head a bit forward. This strap centers the Quest 2 so much better. The adjustment wheel is perfect and fast for adjusting to fit each person.

I bought this for the added battery life, but it makes the headset so much more comfortable to wear. The battery acts as a counter-balance that takes the weight off of your cheekbones. It is also so much easier to switch between users by just using the dial and dealing with the one strap. Would recommend to anyone who owns a Quest.

I did a great deal of research and read a ton of reviews before I chose this. The fact that the battery is in the back makes the weight distribution perfect. It doesnt even feel like Im wearing VR goggles anymore w the weight in the back. The strap that goes over your head is actually over an inch thick of padding, its fantastic ! I have not tested the battery longevity yet but Im sure it will be fine based on all the other reviews !

We bought this hoping for a more comfortable and more secure head strap. We also thought the extra battery capacity would be a nice addition since the grandkids all want to use it and battery life is an issue in longer sessions. The Kiwi is much more comfortable and holds the headset securely without pressure points. We are very satisfied with the design and fit. The built-in battery doesn’t seem do give the advertised extra time. This may be the operator but the Oculus depleted its battery and shut down even though the Kiwi battery lights indicated there was about 50% of life left in the Kiwi battery. Also it seems we need to charge the oculus battery and the Kiwi battery separately. We were hoping both would be charged by leaving the booster battery connected to the headset and connecting the charger to the Kiwi headset. Overall it is a good upgrade to the original head strap. Edit: both batteries now charge through the Kiwi charging port. I think it was operator error.
