Battery Head Strap 6400mAh Compatible with Quest 2 Accessories, Battery Pack Elite Strap Replacement for Enhanced Support

Awesome bit of kit, was slightly put off by cost as other alternatives on the marker are cheaper but glad I went for it. Chose this one over the cheaper options based on others reviews. My wife occasionally wants to have a go on the Quest2 but found the constant adjustment of the 'stock' strap annoying and uncomfortable. This makes it super simple. The ratchet system for tightening really makes the fitting and swapping so much easier. Straightforward to install, took all of about 5mins to get it on. Fits very well, balances the weight so you don't get 'face ache' The extra padding on the top strap and rear makes it very comfortable to wear for extended use. The battery performs really well. Took around 3hrs to fully charge out of the box. After a 2hr Resident Evil sesh, the battery is about 1/2 drained and the headset is still 100% so I'd guess I would get about 6-7 hours of constant use before it's out of juice which is far more than I'll ever use in one sitting. Would happily recommend 👌

I bought this because I had 2 main problems with the Quest 2. I found it very uncomfortable to wear for more than 30 minutes, and the battery life only lasted around 2.5 hours. The Kiwi design battery strap has genuinely been game changing. The strap is much easier to adjust than the regular Meta strap. All adjustments are done via a velcro strap on the top, and a ratcheting wheel on the back. This makes it very easy to quickly readjust. The top strap and the rear interface are both padded with leather and are very soft, making them comfortable to wear even for a few hours. The strap also has a neat feature where you can flip up the VR headset. This is really useful for anyone who wears glasses in VR, as it allows you to flip the headset up out of the way, put on your glasses and then flip the headset down back over them. With regards to battery life, I played around 2.5 hours of VRChat, over Oculus Air Link using the Steam client version. When I stopped, the headset was still on 100% battery, and around half of the strap's battery pack had been depleted, so I'd estimate you get around 4 hours or so out of the strap alone (plus the normal 2.5 hours out of the headset). It's a huge increase in battery life and makes VR a much more convenient experience. The other benefit of having the battery strap is that it adds extra weight to the back of your head. With the Meta standard strap, all of the weight is over the front of your face, but the Kiwi design strap distributes this weight much more evenly, which again increases the comfort. The only downsides I can think of are very minor: - The headset won't fit in the Quest 2 box anymore, you can buy another box to solve this - The strap is definitely more bulky and does weigh more but I found I got used to this quickly - There doesn't seem to be a way of checking the strap battery once you're in VR (you can only see the headset battery). Overall though, while expensive this does make a huge difference to comfort and play time in VR and I'd really recommend it to anyone struggling with the standard Quest 2 strap.

What an excellent piece of kit this is! I bought the version with the battery pack which is great as it vastly extends the battery life you have to play with but crucially the weight of the battery provides a great counterweight to the headset. It's very easy to fit to the Quest and only took a few minutes to get up and running. I was immediately impressed with the comfort and ease of adjustment. It's been tried with all four of us now with a range of head sizes and it takes seconds to adjust for each of us. The most important thing for me was to extend the length of time I can wear the headset as with the standard strap I could only manage at most half an hour. I've had the headset on for hours this evening and no issues at all, it's just so much more comfortable and balanced! I think the version with the battery pack is well worth the money. Well done Kiwi design!

I just bought a Quest 2 a few weeks ago and wanted better battery life for long sessions on my headset. 2 hours on the headset battery just isn't long enough and I expect over time that the battery life will shorten. I easily get 4 hrs with this battery strap which is great and that is playing demanding games like 'Into the Radius'. I can get 5 hours out of it if I turn off the wifi on the headset for games that don't require an internet connection to play. The headset is very comfortable indeed, well padded, well made and so easy to adjust with the wheel on the back. It makes gaming that much more immersive as its so comfortable that you forget at times that you are wearing a headset, seriously the amount of times I have gone to rub my eye or scratch my nose and hit my headset. There are a lot of brands to choose from and I am so very glad I choose kiwi. I think this will certainly last as it feels very durable and well made. Definately recommend it. 5/5

Like most Quest 2 owners, the complaints made are often towards the awful head strap provided and the battery life not being great. I could only play for an hour or 2 at push before the headset became too uncomfortable to wear. This head strap resolves both issues. The strap was very easy to attach and operate. I can now wear my headset with comfort for hours and extend my VR play session. I don't play standalone Quest 2 games, I mainly stream my PC to the headset. I get about 6 to 7 hours of playtime which is perfectly fine for me. I only give this product a 4 out of 5 stars as I would have liked a button to power on & off the battery pack. If you want to turn it off, you will have to disconnect the cable from the headset. I am normally iffy with wear and tear on connections. Worth picking up for comfort. I would also recommend getting a replacement face mask such as VR Cover for more comfortable experience.

This head strap and battery pack is highly adjustable and the charge last far longer than the battery in the Quest 2. It fits a childs head and my huge bonce (63cm diameter) so it's good for all the family. It's very comfortable compared to the original strap and gives a little more balance to the Quest 2 headset. The side seem a little thin on first inspection but they seem very robust when attached so no complaints at this point. Instructions are OK and it takes around 5 minutes to fit. Carefully remove the old strap, it's clipped in place and click this one on. Just be careful not to force anything, a light touch, not a heavy hand... This fits perfectly in the 20 quid Aubika made case for the Quest 2 shown in the attached photo. This is a highly recommended piece of kit

Great build quality. It does exactly what it is meant to do. It can more than double your wireless gaming time between charges. That alone makes it worth the money, but there is more! The battery helps to balance your Quest 2 better. This makes your VR adventures more comfortable. It even fits inside the carry case that I bought for use with the original extended battery. The Kiwi battery also has the ability to quickly flip the headset up, so that you can easily visit the real world should the need occur. I would recommend this product without reservation.

I’ve put off getting a head strap for a year but the original is not much fun. I also wanted one with a battery so that narrowed it down. First of all it is very comfortable, the battery at the back balancing the weight out much better than the original strap. The battery adds hour of extra use to the headset and charges through the same cable, the built in battery gave only 2hours which was never quite enough. It is super easy to fit literally 5 mins and if you are unsure any YouTube video showing how to change the original head strap will guide you through it. I also wear glasses so the ability to tilt the front to adjust or demist is very handy . I can’t comment on the longevity as I’ve had it a short time but it seems as sturdy as other headsets I’ve seen . Hope this helps
