> 3 dayI gotta say the comfort is a big upgrade over the factory strap. The factory strap would dig in after a while or swing and unsettle during rapid movements. This one holds on nice and tight while being comfortable to boot. The knob is probably adopted from the Vive Deluxe Audio and really should be standard on everything by now. Its just so much more convenient to switch between people or for taking a quick break. The sound is somewhat middling. Its better than the stock speakers which were already a low bar. They get game sound through just fine but I wouldnt use this for my old audio mixing days. On-Ear design makes it compact but the ears get a bit sweaty. The energy usage isnt completely free but playing games has a way bigger impact on battery life than the headphones would ever at max volume, which is limited by the Quests internal amp anyway. Short Ver: Very comfy, convenient, good enough sound.

> 3 dayI have the elite strap, Bobovr M2, and now this Kiwi with Audio strap and like them all. - The Oculus Elite is the most secure and the smallest and will fit in any case, and can tighten the most in a clamping style on your face, making it the strongest but also the most uncomfortable after a long session. - The Bobovr halo style was okay, but the back would slide up with quick movements and the headset would droop at the front onto my nose. This could only be countered by velcroing battery packs on the back strap to counterweight, but it was comfortable after these mods. It wasnt the most secure for something like Thrill of the Fight though - This Kiwi strap is a combo of the comfort (padded) and security (clamp style) but also adds soft ear bumps/cups that nestle against your ear for a better audio experience. A battery pack attached to the back will always help with how front-heavy the Quest 2 is, but this has not need that yet. Overall, they all have their benefits and I will probably keep all of them. Elite for fast action, Bobovr for relaxing games, and the Kiwi for an all around strap. I will most likely use the Kiwi the most because it is an all-around good headset for any game. I had no complaints about the default speakers before other than they had to be turned up pretty high, but having speakers that are more like headphones that sit right against your ear are a big plus for the Kiwi.

> 3 dayThis product came with a sticker on the part that touches the back of your head. After removing the sticker, the adhesive remains, and NOTHING will get it off. alcohol and cleaning products have no effect. This product is supposed to increase comfort but now it pulls my hair. nice design guys

> 3 dayThis headset is pretty nice! Its comfortable and the built in speakers work better than the ones that come on the quest and give my ears a break from having ear plug speakers in them. Plus, I dont have to worry about losing the ear plugs or having loose wires. Sound quality is fine with me but keep in mind that I am far from an audiophile. Another thing I like is that this one locks into the headset. Other ones Ive had slid into them and while I never had an issue with them, this feels more secure. Its pretty comfortable and something I like compared to others is that it tightens up pretty small so it gits even a childs head. Others Ive had ended up a little loose on a childs head. The only thing Id add to this would be a battery pack or even just something to hold an external battery. Id also say it could use a small price reduction by about $15 but, to be fair, until I find something better, this is going to be the headset of my choice. Overall, Id say this is a good headset with nice sound and goid adjustability.

> 3 dayThe reviews on this sold me, so glad I picked this up. It’s really a no brainer if you’re doing anything active, comfort doesn’t even compare to the original straps. I can keep a workout going so much longer now without having to readjust and try to relieve the pressure.

> 3 dayFirst off...this isnt a bad item at all. Id say its pretty average overall, but for the price, its difficult for me to enthusiastically endorse. The fit is definitely better than the stock strap that comes included with the Quest 2, but I didnt find it nearly as comfortable or stable as the Quest 2 branded Elite Strap. Secondly, though the padding on the head strap and the headphones is cushy, it also makes things extra hot, so sweat is going to be an issue if you use this for fitness or sports games. Third, I really didnt find the sound to be better at all than the stock speakers that sit just off of your ears on the standard strap setup. In fact, it seemed a little less full sounding somehow. For build quality, I will say it seems like a very well made unit. The design matches the Quest very well. The adjustment lever on the back is very similar to the Oculus Elite Strap and there is plenty of adjustability. Personally, Id probably recommend buying the Elite Strap and using a decent pair of headphones separately rather than trying to find a headset with headphones integrated in. Its fine, but its not a huge improvement on convenience and definitely not a big improvement on sound quality. I dont regret buying it. It is nicely made and Ill certainly use it on nights when I need to keep the sound down for the wife and kids. It definitely does what is claims. It does everything you need it to do.

> 3 dayIn terms of the functionality of the headstrap, just as good as the non-headphone varient, meaning really good! However, in terms of audio quality, look somewhere else. Audio is comparable to the Quest 2s built-in audio, but audibly worse in clarity. For the audiophiles, lows are present, mids take center-stage, highs are an afterthought. Those with long hair should consider tying it back since hair could be easily stuck on the joints of the headphones.

> 3 dayLike everyone - I wanted comfort and this guy did it. I also like the better fold up design, easier to store.
