> 3 dayThe oculus 2 was so heavy on my face and giving me massive headaches. I looked around and saw this. It’s PERECT. Takes all the weight off my face. Now I can play for hours. Battery also last a very long time.

> 3 dayA necessity for playing longer and being more comfortable. This strap finally made the Quest 2 comfortable for me. It takes a little bit to find the sweet spot but once you do you barely notice the strap on your head. It feels natural and loose while keep the headset in place at all times. The charging pack is the icing on the cake. You can get 4hr maybe 4:30hr if you take care of it. Plug it in when the quest gets to about 25-30% and you’ll be good.

> 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekI was really on the fence about spending this kind of money for this product but I am so glad I did. I didnt realize just how uncomfortable the stock head strap was until I was using this for a few hours. Not only does this make my Oculus so much more comfortable but the extended battery life this provides is awesome as I no longer have to run for a plug after a long gaming session. The headphones built into this feel great and the sound quality is good. They feel very comfortable to my ears and I like how they are built right in. Now to the cons, all this padding feel fantastic but if your moving around a lot you will notice how the areas of your skin that are in contact with it are sweating more than the areas that are not. Now the old straps just soaked up the sweat (gross I know but true) where as these dont so you will notice some moister if youre really moving. However the comfort you get from the padding greatly outweighs this negative but for some people who run really hot this might be bothersome but for me it was not but was something I noticed when I take off the headset. Overall this product is worth the price paid, the quality is there, the ease of use is there and what you get in terms of comfort, battery life, and audio make it worth the price of admission.

> 3 dayI’ve had like 4 different straps in a year and a half. This is by far the best and I think I’ll stick with this one. I do a lot of the exercise games and boxing and it does not budge! Very comfortable and fits well. Would highly recommend for those using it for exercise or games using a lot of movement

> 3 dayIt’s a pretty good alternative head strap for the Oculus. It’s extremely comfortable and helps balance out the weight of the actual headset. The battery life on it is exceptional too. My only complaint is sometimes the headset won’t recognize that the head strap is plugged in and it’ll take a few tries. I don’t wanna say my headset is the issue since it charges just fine but I can’t exactly rule it out either. Great headset if you’re looking for a comfortable alternative way to increase the longevity of your play sessions.

Greater than one weekUnit is nicely finished, balance is all good. The battery is not supplying any power at all. Its fully charged, but no voltage at the USB charging plug. The plug also fits so loosely in the quest 2 that it falls out easily. I tried charging other devices like phones with same result. Any of my other USB C chargers work fine on the quest 2 and their plugs fit the quest snugly, so I am confident that the battery headset is the issue. Will return for an exchange and update review later. Update February 6: Received replacement unit over the weekend. Works properly and Im enjoying using it with no more issues on the charging end. USB plug fits normality (wont come loose during use). Revised rating to well earned 5 stars).
