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

Lets face it, the included head strap with the Quest 2 is hot garbage. Its difficult to adjust (especially important when multiple people use it), flimsy, and very uncomfortable. In comes this godsend. Its very easily adjustable, super comfortable, durable, and fits the aesthetic of the headset perfectly. Installation was a breeze. The time it took to remove the original strap and install this one was less than 5 minutes. I was a little intimidated on the removal of the old strap and installation of this one, but a quick YouTube search showed videos with clear instructions. The only downfall is that I typically use the original box to transport the headset and controllers. With this strap attached, it will not fit in the box. Very minor complaint compared to all the positives!

I can now play without getting a migraine from the feeling of a brick in my face.

For me, this completes the quest, balancing it and doubling its battery life. Greatly increases comfort, and frees you from the tether for hours more than you would normally get. Definitely worth getting. Does add some weight on your head, but I dont find it bothersome as it also improves the weight distribution.

Very comfortable and easy to use.

Before I review: 1. Headphone Users - The ONLY downside to this head strap is that the way its built doesnt really allow for you to wear headphones over your Quest 2 unless theyre absurdly wide. If thats a concern, Id look into something shaped a little differently (Such as the BOBOVR M2, which I personally found to be really unbalanced and uncomfortable - but Im told that adding weight to the back helps. Do with that information what you will.) I personally prefer using some high-quality earbuds (or even just the stock speakers) so this doesnt impact my score at all - but I find it worth mentioning. 2. I recently saw that KIWI is now offering a head strap with a built-in battery (look for Battery Head Strap on their website) but after having set this one up with a small battery harness (also sold by KIWI on Amazon, search KIWI design 3 in 1 Battery Strap) and a cheap 10,000mah battery bank (that I originally bought for keeping my phone charged on hikes) I see no reason to make the switch - its perfect just the way it is. Anyway... On to the review: This is easily the first accessory that any Quest 2 owner should pick up. I generally avoid 3rd-party accessories for gaming hardware. I mean, everyone knows that the Official products are better, right? Not this time. The stock strap is always either too loose or too tight and, after a little while, it just starts to loosen up on its own... so then you over-tighten it and end up with a headache. KIWI somehow makes products that exceed the official Meta accessories in quality while offering them at a lower price (sometimes a LOT lower). Its just mind-blowing to me that Meta/Facebook sets their retail prices staggeringly high and yet cant offer a fraction of the quality that KIWI does (like their 16ft link cable that literally outperforms the official Oculus/Meta link cable at a fraction of the cost)... not to mention that the official Elite strap offered by Meta is so cheap and brittle that it snaps like balsa wood. Incredibly comfortable, super easy to install, and if you add on a cheap USB battery (doesnt everyone have a few of these now-a-days?) its the perfect setup for those day-long VR sessions. Theres something so satisfying about the clicks as you tighten the knob... knowing that once youre comfortable, its going to stay that way. This upgrade singlehandedly improved my experience to the point that I could easily double or triple the length of my gaming sessions just because of the comfort difference. Ive never been this comfortable in the Quest 2, and I know Ill be getting all my Quest accessories from KIWI from now on.

Definitely makes wearing the headset much more comfortable. Worth it!

The old headset made it difficult to enjoy the game, but this headset, along with the new face mask, makes playing effortless!

My grandson loved it! He attached it to his oculus the next day and so far has held up well.

The KIWI design Comfort Head Strap is a must have if you have an Oculus. This product is a great improvement to the original head strap. The KIWI design Comfort Head Strap had great balance. since the Oculus tend to front heavy due to its design this KIWI design almost eliminates the discomfort. Hours of game play dont fell like hours of gaming. The KIWI design Comfort Head Strap was easy to install. Just pop off the old ones and click in the the KIWI and youre ready to rolling in a few minutes. This strap is also easy to keep clean. As you know you can get very sweaty playing the Oculus. Wipe with a Sani0-wipe and its ready to use next time. I had my KIWI design Comfort Head Strap for several months now with no issues at all.

Went from, barely keeping it on to not even thinking about it. And I do t have to think about spending half my life savings on the elite strap.
