> 3 dayI know a lot of people buy this product for the extended battery life however, I purchased it to see if it would even out the weight distribution and it did. I purchased two other fancy straps, and neither of them helped. I wish I had a purchase this head strap from the beginning and would’ve save myself money and the pain that goes along with having the oculus push on your face for an hour or two.

> 3 dayThe counter balancing aspect to this makes it a worthy upgrade. Rather than feeling like you have a heavy device in front of your face, it evens it out. However, it puts added weight overall, and is more restrictive to move your head around. For example, looking up makes the rear strap and pad hit against your neck, reducing motion. I have to tilt my back a bit to see all the way up. I have a long skinny neck, so it would be worse for other body types. I also noticed that pressure on my cheeks increased. So much that I had to stop using it. I loosened the strap, but it made the vr wobbly. That means another needed upgrade for the face pad! The twist adjuster feels nice and sturdy. Overall it is better than the default strap, but there are unfortunate drawbacks to consider. Maybe not worth the price for casual VR users. Lastly, I used the vr for about 20 minutes. 20 minutes later I still feel the pressure points around my face and head.

Greater than one weekThis 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 dayWhen I first put on my Quest 2, I kind of panicked. I found the stock strap horrendously uncomfortable, and that discomfort was keeping me from spending any more than a half hour or so in VR. After seeing that faulty Meta Brand straps were still in distribution, I really didnt want to chance spending the money to get the powered Elite strap. Enter Kiwi, with a nearly identical strap at half the price. The reviews said buy, so I did. I dont regret it, and I will recommend the purchase to anyone. I have one gripe that may not have even been worth taking a star off, but here we are: It creates too much articulation. The strap has 2 pivot points in addition to the 2 pivot point on the goggles. This is really great for getting that just right fit and angle, but for me, it just kind of irritates some of my autistic traits. I feel like I can never get the goggles level across both eyes. I nudge, tweak, and wiggle the goggles and itll seem level for a second, then I turn my head and feel a little off kilter. It isnt experience breaking, but it does cause me to over-focus on the wrong thing occasionally. To clarify, I think this is more of a psychological issue with me, rather than a fault in the product, but I also know that there are plenty of people who may play VR that process stimuli a little different from others.

> 3 day1st device was delivered promptly but didnt work. I got online for customer service and received several helpful emails from them. We returned the 1st device and the new one arrived 2 days later and works perfectly! Customer service was great. My grandson says this is so much more comfortable than the strap that came with quest.

> 3 dayI 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.
