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

I can certainly wear it, but the cushioned ring on the back doesn’t really hug against my head like it seems it should. I do have a pretty small head, though. Otherwise the function and comfort are great! I work for a VR company and it makes taking the headset on and off much easier. I can’t perch it on my forehead as securely as I was hoping, but that’s sort of a weird use case for most people.

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.

I was pretty happy exercising with my Quest 2 and the aftermarket strap and fan. I wear glasses, but exercise without them. Then, my wife decides to use the Quest to exercise, which is great, except she needs her glasses to do anything. We got this strap, thinking the hinge would make it easier to put on. I didn’t want to spend this much on another strap, but when I got this, it is a whole other level in quality. It feels nice, adjustable, supportive and it’s really easy to get on with glasses. My fan attachment was fine with it. The fan is in the face mask, so it doesn’t affect the strap. This would be worth the money, just to make the Quest 2 easier to put on and take off. The only thing that could be better is the super cushiony strap that goes front to back on your head could adjust smaller for me. The rest of the unit is adjustable enough to keep it in place through exercise, so it hasn’t been a problem. The wide cushiony head strap, the back of head support cushion and the dial to adjust tightness make this the best head strap I’ve had. The hinge to get it on and off make this about the best you could design. They have a version with a battery as well, that might be the best, if you play for long periods. Best head strap for the Quest 2.

Very comfortable and easy to use I would recommend this item.

This 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.

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.

It is a must have if you go through long gaming sessions

I needed to replace the original headstrap, so I picked his up and absolutely love it. Its comfortable, is easy to install, and sits firmly. Great product.

they are easy to install, easy to adjust and are pretty damn durable, its been almost 2 years since ive ordered it and while the leather is starting to crack and fall out, doesnt change how comfortable it is

Let me start by saying I’m an adult, 22 years old, and I play games a lot (#1 hobby) and I’ve had my quest 2 for a couple years. This is my first strap that I’ve bought for my headset. My motivation to find a new strap was mainly because the default one was uncomf and caused MANY headaches for me. I was looking for something a little similar to the ps4 vr and I heard from a couple friends who also own quest 2 this was pretty good. Saw it was on sale and I yoinked it right away man. This strap is FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC compared to the one the headset came with. I have a big head and A LOT of curly hair so I was scared it wouldn’t fit but it fits great, just put my hair in a low pony or low braid. I can adjust it many ways and can play comfortably for a god bit of time. I suggest it if you want a better head strap for your Quest 2!
