> 24 hourI was not connecting the battery cable properly. KIWI commented on my review and I corrected the mistake. The cord did not look like it was pushed in all the way and in the instructions KIWI said I would hear a click witch I never heard before. So I pushed a little harder and it clicked into place. I played for an hour and a half and had 99% battery life. So this would get 10 stars if possible. 5 for comfort alone and 5 for battery life. Bellow is my original comment when I was doing it wrong and unhappy about it. The comfort is 5 stars no doubt. It might be extending the battery life by around 5%. Yes, I constantly checked the menu for the lightning blot on the battery and it was always reading it was charging but the power level just kept on dropping. The head strap battery never dropped below 75% best I could tell. Supposedly if you leave everything connected and only charge the head strap, the head strap will charge the Oculus but it is the same minuscule trickle charge as when using the VR and stayed at 22% for 15 minutes so I just charged the Oculus normally and it was at 38% in 15 minutes while off. If it was just the head strap I would have given this 5 stars. The battery is just a ballast really. Im gonna re right this once I test it a little more but Ill give accurate numbers for the battery usefulness when I do.

> 24 hourIt is very comfortable i can play hours without having pain, abou the battery i dont have to charge my quest everyday with this i can play days since i only play 1 hour a Day it can give you 3 to 4 hours of game. When i got this at first i thought it was defective because it didnt charge the quest and i was losing power then i realized you have to force the cable until you hear the click sound. And for everyone i recommend you to pluck out the headstrap cable when you done playing because it will keep the headset charging that will stress the battery or it could melt the port some here are already experiencing melting ports of the headset so i advice you to plug out the usb from the headset when you are done for the day..

> 24 hourWaaaay more comfortable than the stock oculus headset, plus extra battery life, plus has a nice angle you can put the headset into so its easier to take off and put on. If youre using the stock strap that came with your quest 2 making this switch is a no-brainer.

> 24 hourI did a great deal of research and read a ton of reviews before I chose this. The fact that the battery is in the back makes the weight distribution perfect. It doesnt even feel like Im wearing VR goggles anymore w the weight in the back. The strap that goes over your head is actually over an inch thick of padding, its fantastic ! I have not tested the battery longevity yet but Im sure it will be fine based on all the other reviews !

> 24 hourThis is a nice addition to the Oculus, it makes it so that the charge never goes below 100%, if you are using it for less than an hour. We never have to worry about not having enough of a charge.

> 24 hourI Love how comfortable and adjustable it feels and pretty easy to put on the headset. As for the battery part I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong in my part but the quest 2 battery alone last for about 2 hours. With the Kiwi battery I was hoping for at least 5 hours of play time but I’m only getting maybe 3 or 2 and half hours instead. Not much of an improvement in that part. The headset dies before the extra battery even drains. It seems like the extra battery does not keep up with the headset. Not worth it if your looking for extra time on the quest without a link cable.

> 24 hourIt was an Easter gift for my son and he says that it is cheaply made because it comes undone very easily. So Im not sure if he likes it to much.

> 24 hourWe bought this hoping for a more comfortable and more secure head strap. We also thought the extra battery capacity would be a nice addition since the grandkids all want to use it and battery life is an issue in longer sessions. The Kiwi is much more comfortable and holds the headset securely without pressure points. We are very satisfied with the design and fit. The built-in battery doesn’t seem do give the advertised extra time. This may be the operator but the Oculus depleted its battery and shut down even though the Kiwi battery lights indicated there was about 50% of life left in the Kiwi battery. Also it seems we need to charge the oculus battery and the Kiwi battery separately. We were hoping both would be charged by leaving the booster battery connected to the headset and connecting the charger to the Kiwi headset. Overall it is a good upgrade to the original head strap. Edit: both batteries now charge through the Kiwi charging port. I think it was operator error.

> 24 hourI really like this headset, it is comfortable and very adjustable. The battery helps balance the Quest and doubles play time. I did have an issue that turned out to be my fault. I had to exchange the first one I got for a replacement but when the second one arrived I was having the same problem. I also bought a charging stand for the headset and the controllers. This stand came with a USB C magnetic connector and a USB A to magnetic adaptor for easy connection and disconnection from the charger. I plugged it into the Kiwis battery while it was on the charging stand. The problem was that when I disconnected the charged cable from the Kiwis battery and left the magnetic adaptor in the USB C slot the Kiwis battery wouldnt send power to the headset. Once I figured out the problem and removed the charge adaptor from the battery everything works fine. Just an FYI for anyone who has this same setup.

> 24 hourI wish I would have purchased this head strap sooner! Its SO much more comfortable and the battery life is amazing! I dont have to have the headset squeezing my face anymore. It stays in place and it doesnt even put much pressure on my face at all. I can play two rounds of mini golf and its still comfortable. Our battery used to die after a round of mini-golf (with 4-5 people), but now, the battery on the headset is still at more than 50% and then you have the full battery on the headset. Well never run out of battery life. Me, my husband and our son purchased this head strap and we all love it!
