> 3 dayThe plug barely fits in the port, I had to push it in pretty hard for it to start charging, left it charging the quest for 2 hours and gained 7%. Sweet. A whole 5 minutes of extra battery life. Dont bother. Edit: Their support contacted me and told me that you have to press the connector into the port harder than most usb-c connectors, and, yeah, no kidding, even if you know it should be harder than most others, youre still gonna want to push it in harder than you think. It does work though, and its charging faster than it was before. Lost a star for just how hard you have to push it in, but besides that, great headstrap. For others, you gotta push until theres a click and the connector is flush with the headset.

> 3 dayThis head strap is absolutely amazing for the Quest 2. Its far more comfortable than the one that comes with the Quest. The battery life has been great so far, I am able to get at least 5.5-6 hours of play from a full charge, which is nice for swapping around with friends, or if you just dont want to plug it in every time you take it off. The ratcheting system for tightening on the back works very nicely and makes it easy to put on and fit to your head quickly. It also takes almost all the weight off the nose and has improved my breathing while wearing the headset. On top of all this, the design looks clean too, there isnt too much going on like some other head straps tend to. Overall, fantastic head strap for quest 2, definitely worth buying if you need a comfortable strap and would like more than 2 hours of life from the quest.

> 3 dayI have been using my Oculus Quest 2 with the pro strap/battery pack for a couple years now. That is to say, the official one sold by Facebook/Meta. And while that one is okay, this is just so much better. Not only is the battery twice the size of what is in the official one, but it is unbelievably more comfortable. The weight is balanced very well, and the extra padding really makes a difference for the longer play sessions you are now capable of because of the bigger battery. The ability to swivel up the eyepiece is huge too; especially if youre interacting with your surroundings at all while you use the device. Theres only two things that I would like to point out, where it could be improved. First, it is unfortunate that it doesnt 100% replicate the functionality of the official battery, where your Oculus acts as if it has two batteries installed; instead it just thinks that its plugged into a charger. Which is fine functionally, but just a little bit less seamless than the official device. Second, the USB-C jack that plugs into the Oculus itself has to be pushed in VERY HARD. Its not intuitive, and youll likely think you have it in when it isnt really plugged in. I think they could make that a little smoother just for the sake of user friendliness. That said, those are very very minor complaints about a device which is absolutely game-changing for VR usage, both mobile and linked to a PC. Dont be drawn in by the overpriced official model, or cheap battery packs from unknown, nameless brands you can buy online. Neither of those stand up to the quality of the Kiwi device. Ive been using my Quest 2 for years now, and ive tried a number of peripherals for it. This one is second to none. Its not perfect, granted...but its also the best you can buy.

Greater than one weekIt 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.

Greater than one weekThis 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 dayIt 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..

> 3 dayIt is very comfortable and weight distribution is amazing. Way better than metas elite strap, but one problem. It can barely charge my oculus. The charge cord is too long and it keeps turning on and off. The cord needs to be a full inch shorter. Even when the headset is at full length, the cord is an about an inch to big, causing the plug to come in and out. Weight distribution: 10/10 Battery life: 8/10 Charge rate: 2/10 Comfort: 9/10

> 3 dayWorks great, instant upgrade to original strap. Quick and easy to adjust. I feel there is a huge over site to the battery though. EVERY docking station you purchase has a MAGNETIC CONNECTION (even kiwi’s own changing dock is magnetic) yet their headset battery HEADSET BATTERY DOES NOT SUPPORT THE MAGNETIC CONNECTOR SYSTEM. It’s super annoying and a bit frustrating to try and pull the magnetic connection on the headset to plug in the battery on the strap. It’s a bigger annoyance than it sounds trust me. Please fix this Kiwi or give other options.
