> 3 dayBefore 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.

> 3 dayThis was a game changer for my sons. Their occulus was constantly falling off their heads, leaving them marks on their faces and cheeks, and was simply uncomfortable. This makes it easy to change the size, because my kids have different sized heads, and they have a better overall experience while playing. Love it!

> 3 dayThis is awesome. It’s very easy to install and makes the headset much more comfortable to wear as well as to put on and take off.

Greater than one weekWatched a billion reviews on it before buying & I agree: theres no reason to spend the extra money on the Meta branded version. Its easy to put together, comfy, & feels quality.

> 3 dayUp until now I used the regular, flimsy original head straps for Oculus2. I have a small (and rather flattish in the back head). The VR would always slide down on my nose, or I would tighten is so hard that it gave me headache. So I started using a counterweight battery pack and that works not too bad if Im able to set it up the perfect way and not touch. The KIWI headstrap is another level of comfort. Since I need to tighten it quite a lot, the feature of it bending at an angle really helps to put it on and take it off. The straps are soft and dont cause me headaches. The VR sits on my head tightly and comfortably. I really recommend it. Its also very easy to install, it took me a total of 5 minutes to replace the straps and start enjoying my new VR headset feature.

> 3 dayThis thing is a game changer! The Quest 2 is notoriously uncomfortable and front end heavy. This little accessory helps distribute the weight and the foam pad is super plush and comfortable. Now I actually use my headset! Still fits in my Anker charging dock too. My only regret is not buying it sooner!

> 3 dayFar easier to adjust and distributes the weight more evenly across the head. My one issue is that it makes my glasses dig into my face a bit but thats fixable by just turning the knob a little bit.

> 3 dayThis thing is thousands times better than the cloth strap that came with the Quest 2. It takes away the strain from the top of the head and secure the headset in place really nicely. With this new head strap, I can comfortable do VR modeling on the Quest 2 for hours. The stock cloth strap would make my head feel very painful at the area of contact because of the concentrated distribution of force. The quality of this Kiwi headstrap is probably on par with the official pro strap if not better. It really helps to spread out the pressure on your head. I swear the Quest 2 is not complete without this strap.
