> 3 dayAbsolutely LOVE THIS. Its a huge step up from the standard Oculus 2 headstrap. Its SO much more comfortable and stable and I can see better when Im wearing it. I love the audio improvements and the battery pack is awesome. I am thrilled to have bought this. The only thing is, the one with the headphones doesnt fit in the case I bought - but that was an oversight on my end.

> 3 dayWe 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.

Greater than one weekThis 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.

> 3 dayWaaaay 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.

> 3 dayI knew I was keeping it within 5 seconds of putting it on. Very easy to put on and take off. I took it off and my 10yo son (hes small) put it on immediately with no fidgeting. It felt very balanced and comfortable. I did also add the KIWI padded interface at the same time as adding the strap. Before buying this I purchased another battery headset with a hinge feature. It was horrible and it gave me neck strain almost immediately. The Quest did not set against my face nearly as well as it does with the KIWI strap.

> 3 dayThis ended up being a great purchase. After doing my research, I finally decided Kiwi would be the best path. So far, no bumps in the road. This is extremely comfortable and balances the weight of the Oculus perfectly, as I struggled with pressure aches across my forehead and cheek bones with the standard Oculus head strap (as I just could not find that balance with the elastic band). The easy to use twist dial that allows you to get in and out of the headset easily. Which is great for two reasons; 1. I would always smudge my forehead across the lenses putting the headset on with the standard elastic straps leaving areas of my vision blurred. 2. This allows for multiple users to switch the headset easily and quickly - game time with the kids doesnt feel like a Super Bowl halftime show changing out players. This is going to be my nitpick about the head strap. The bulk of the battery pack is quite noticeable if you play any games connected to your PC while stationary in a chair (I do a lot of sim racing). During these times I do not need the extra batter (as I am hard connected to another source). It would be nice to have a removable battery pack while keeping the integrity of the strap. Overall: this head strap is solid, comfortable, and most importantly allows you to enjoy your games without expending extra effort in thinking about what is attached your head.

> 3 dayGood concept, extends play time quite a bit. The only thing I would change is add a on/off switch o case between battery and extension cable. After fully charging and disconnecting from ac the headset charging light stays on the whole time unless you disconnect the headset cord from unit, which is annoying. Other than that great product and I would recommend

> 3 dayMuch better than the head bands. Easy to use and provides a much better fit even with rapid head movements. The battery pack makes it worth the price, adds hours of extra play time.

> 3 dayThe headset is a great improvement to the quest 2 original. The incorporation of the headphones is great. Sound is good enough and better than original. The pads are soft and comfortable. Only problem now is I need a case for this headset to fit into. So Kiwi get on this. I need a hard carrying case. The extended battery pack makes your experience last longer. The headset is heavy, but its balanced with the soft cushions on the head strap its not noticeable.

Greater than one weekLike: Very comfortable. Using the knob to tighten or loosen the straps is nicer than the stock head strap design. I am able to get a much better fit to my face as well. Dislike: Even though the strap battery is fully charged and the screen tells me the Oculus is charging, I receive a warning that the battery is low and to plug the device in asap. If I dont plug it in the Oculus powers down and I lose my game (and game progress). I didnt seem to have the problem for the first few weeks. I have checked that the strap battery is firmly plugged in yet it happens anyway. REVISION: The unit works as advertised. I _thought_ the strap battery was firmly plugged in, as I had pushed quite hard on it and the Oculus screen was showing that charging was happening. Images provided while corresponding with the maker revealed that I possibly needed to push the plug in deeper. So I gave it a shot. No change. Then I gave it another shot. . . pushed _really_ hard on the plug and it did go deeper and I now have full charging. 5 stars . . . or maybe 4 because you have to push so hard on the plug lol.
