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

I only got it a couple weeks ago, so I cant comment on its durability, but it feels well designed. Very comfortable, allows for multi hour sessions without any discomfort from pressure points like the regular strap. Good balance with the battery on the back. The increased battery life seems to at least 2x if not 2.5x or 3x what youd have without it. I have a hard case that was designed to accommodate the quest 2 with the meta elite strap. The Kiwi strap is a bit of a tight fit, but the case does close on it and seems to do so safely.

I purchased the headset for two reason. 1. To take some of the pressure off my forehead that I usually get after 30 mins of wearing it. With the new head gear I no longer have to worry about that yay! 2. Able to get more play time then before and so far I have got more then a hour and half so that a plus for me because I don’t really play that long so to be able to get a few hours every other day if a plus for me and still haven’t had to charger it so this was worth every single coin!

This product is great but you need to know that it won’t work correctly with a magnetic charger dongle attached!!! It will not give power to the Quest with the dongle attached, I guess it thinks it is still charging. Once I figured that out though, it works great. Just be aware that you will need to remove the magnetic dongle if you have one from this battery pack or it won’t provide power to the Quest at all.

Much 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.

This 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.

I 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!

I had this product since March and has only died a few times

All three of my boys love this thing so much! It does take a bit to charge the battery but it definitely extends their playtime which is quite valuable for kids taking turns. The comfort however is unparalleled. It’s very soft & padded. The adjustability is AMAZING! My 6 year old had the most trouble adjusting the original strap that comes with the Occulus but this one has a knob on the back that makes it so easy for him to switch it back to his size after his brothers have played. The only downside to me is there isn’t a new pad for the front which I’d like to get in a similar style.

Unit 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).

I previously owned the basic KIWI design comfort strap (no battery or headphones) and loved it. Much more comfortable that the stock strap and very easy to use. I saw that they came out with this one that had an integrated battery and headphones and bought it thinking it was a no-brainer upgrade. Trying the head strap on for the first time, impressions were good. The strap was just as comfortable as the basic one, if not more so because of the better weight distribution thanks to the integrated battery. The headphones took a little getting used to since they have quite a bit of adjustment with makes them a bit fiddly, but once I got them in the right spot they feel pretty good and isolated surprisingly well. The main downside to the headphones is that they increase the overall size of the headset substantially and cant be removed so pretty much no case on the market will fit it. I heard that KIWI design may be coming out with a larger case to accommodate it though. The battery and headphone cables are nicely thought out and had no problem plugging into the ports. I saw some other people complaining that the USB-C cable was vey hard to plug in, but I didnt experience that with mine. Maybe a little more force than normal, but nothing to be concerned about. Using the head strap for an actual gaming session is when I realized I didnt like the headphones. Compared to the Quests built in speakers, the headphones sounded a bit tinny. They lacked the fullness and wide soundstage the built in ones could provide. I also began to have ear pain after only about 10 minutes of use. For me, I couldnt quite get the headphones to be parallel with my ears so they would end up putting excessive pressure on the back of my ears. I feel like this wouldnt have been a problem if the headphones werent spring loaded and instead allowed you to simply adjust the distance from your ears. Ive had similar experiences with standard on-ear headphones before so it may just be that I have overly sensitive ears so take that with a grain of salt. I ended up using the headset with the headphones unplugged and flipped up and out of the way and I enjoyed the experience much more. Overall, I think its a great head strap and the headphones may not be an issue for some, but for me they were a deal breaker unfortunately. If they had better sound quality and didnt apply so much pressure I wouldve kept it. Ill be returning it and purchasing the head strap with just the battery.
