Greater than one weekThis ended up being a great purchase. After doing my research, I finally decided Kiwi would be the best path. So far, no bumps in the road. This is extremely comfortable and balances the weight of the Oculus perfectly, as I struggled with pressure aches across my forehead and cheek bones with the standard Oculus head strap (as I just could not find that balance with the elastic band). The easy to use twist dial that allows you to get in and out of the headset easily. Which is great for two reasons; 1. I would always smudge my forehead across the lenses putting the headset on with the standard elastic straps leaving areas of my vision blurred. 2. This allows for multiple users to switch the headset easily and quickly - game time with the kids doesnt feel like a Super Bowl halftime show changing out players. This is going to be my nitpick about the head strap. The bulk of the battery pack is quite noticeable if you play any games connected to your PC while stationary in a chair (I do a lot of sim racing). During these times I do not need the extra batter (as I am hard connected to another source). It would be nice to have a removable battery pack while keeping the integrity of the strap. Overall: this head strap is solid, comfortable, and most importantly allows you to enjoy your games without expending extra effort in thinking about what is attached your head.

> 3 dayListen AR glasses were my first initial purchase when considering even getting in to this world. The ones I purchased for my daughter for Christmas were not fully compatible with IPhones yet( how I missed this huge piece of information I’ll never know) but I digress. I had minimal knowledge of the VR world but what I did know was that the VR owners made replacing the original head-strap a priority. Upon lots of research on YouTube everyone seemed to talk about a couple of key brands repeatedly and kiwi was one of them. I dont think I ever found a video or tiktok where someone had a strap that encompassed everything I really was looking for in one. (noise canceling + extra battery + upgraded strap) I knew that KIWI was a collectively trusted brand but doubted they had made something that checked all of my boxes without spending a fortune but I was wrong. As soon as I seen it had my boxes checked I didn’t hesitate and purchased without really getting into its details. I was beyond satisfied with the product and still am. It super comfortable, the battery is encased vs being another piece of hardware to keep up with/charge/attach, easily assembled, everything looks and feels not just comfy but well made, not too mention it’s designed for maximum efficiency. The twisting mechanism in the back resizes with one step simply wind it left or right to fit and then the hinge feature makes a handoff process a breeze. It’s worth every dime. I love love love it!

> 3 dayI bought a Quest 2 and immediately knew I wanted a more comfortable head strap for it. My coworker recommended I get one with an extra battery. While I was searching, my boyfriend mentioned he could hear the speakers (he plays his PlayStation in the same room, since we have a small-ish apartment), so I started looking for an all-in-one option. This was it! It’s so comfortable. I’m a 5’0” Asian female with a size 7 to 7-1/2 size head (22.5” circumference). I workout a lot, and I tend to sweat easily. I can play active games with this headset (and Kiwi’s modified face insert) with comfort, and it’s easy to clean. I don’t notice my ears sweat like others have mentioned, but everyone is different. Definitely looking forward to Kiwi’s new case that can accommodate this headset (I’m holding out on buying other cases for transport bc I’m so impressed with their products so far)!

> 3 dayI wish I would have purchased this head strap sooner! Its SO much more comfortable and the battery life is amazing! I dont have to have the headset squeezing my face anymore. It stays in place and it doesnt even put much pressure on my face at all. I can play two rounds of mini golf and its still comfortable. Our battery used to die after a round of mini-golf (with 4-5 people), but now, the battery on the headset is still at more than 50% and then you have the full battery on the headset. Well never run out of battery life. Me, my husband and our son purchased this head strap and we all love it!

> 3 daySo I got this head set a about a month ago and it is awesome! I have played vr almost ever night since and it is the most comfortable head set I’ve bought for my quest 2. Even after hours of game play it is just as comfortable as it was the first 5 minutes. I’ve had some decent head set that would start out great but after an hour or so they would feel like they were jabbing the top of my head but this one doesn’t have that issue. Battery power is great, I know it says 2.5 to 4 hours added but my head set has stayed fully charged even after 6 hour vr sessions. Being able to flip the quest up with the hinge is a huge game changer too I’m able to check my phone and get something to drink and go right back to the game with out it going into sleep mode. Definitely worth the money!

> 3 dayHighly 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.

> 3 dayThe headset itself is amazingly comfortable, and the weight distribution is fabulous. I had to order another one because the first one I had had a defective charging cable. Luckily, Amazon has same-day deliveries so it didn’t feel obnoxious. I’ve tried halo headsets and they give a weird pressure and feel very loose when you’re trying to look around. But this has such a thick padding, and it gets a snug as you want it to with the Turndale fastener. I very much recommend this to anyone if you have the budget!

> 3 dayI was debating buying this for my new oculus but I am SO happy I did. Without it, the device became uncomfortable and hurt my head within minutes of using it. With this headset I can barely feel that its on my face. The weight distribution is phenomenal. In terms of the battery, I was very disappointed in the battery life of the device itself. It had to be plugged in multiple times a day to be able to use it. With the battery I dont have to worry about the device dying. If you just got an Oculus or have had one and are debating buying this, you 100% should. I promise you you will not be disappointed.

> 3 dayThe only problem is I didnt know when to use the battery. Its easy to use. Its kinda too heavy. The weight is on the top back part or your head.
