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

Arrived quickly , very pleased, high quality

Excellent design. The head strap that comes with the Quest 2 is merely adequate. With this replacement, putting the headset on and taking it off is quick and easy. It is quite comfortable to wear for extended time plus it has the benefit that it wont slip if you have a lot of hair (my girlfriend does, I dont) The only reason I took of a star is on installing it. Routing the top strap through the slot in the headset can be difficult but it only needs to be done once.

Before I review: 1. Headphone Users - The ONLY downside to this head strap is that the way its built doesnt really allow for you to wear headphones over your Quest 2 unless theyre absurdly wide. If thats a concern, Id look into something shaped a little differently (Such as the BOBOVR M2, which I personally found to be really unbalanced and uncomfortable - but Im told that adding weight to the back helps. Do with that information what you will.) I personally prefer using some high-quality earbuds (or even just the stock speakers) so this doesnt impact my score at all - but I find it worth mentioning. 2. I recently saw that KIWI is now offering a head strap with a built-in battery (look for Battery Head Strap on their website) but after having set this one up with a small battery harness (also sold by KIWI on Amazon, search KIWI design 3 in 1 Battery Strap) and a cheap 10,000mah battery bank (that I originally bought for keeping my phone charged on hikes) I see no reason to make the switch - its perfect just the way it is. Anyway... On to the review: This is easily the first accessory that any Quest 2 owner should pick up. I generally avoid 3rd-party accessories for gaming hardware. I mean, everyone knows that the Official products are better, right? Not this time. The stock strap is always either too loose or too tight and, after a little while, it just starts to loosen up on its own... so then you over-tighten it and end up with a headache. KIWI somehow makes products that exceed the official Meta accessories in quality while offering them at a lower price (sometimes a LOT lower). Its just mind-blowing to me that Meta/Facebook sets their retail prices staggeringly high and yet cant offer a fraction of the quality that KIWI does (like their 16ft link cable that literally outperforms the official Oculus/Meta link cable at a fraction of the cost)... not to mention that the official Elite strap offered by Meta is so cheap and brittle that it snaps like balsa wood. Incredibly comfortable, super easy to install, and if you add on a cheap USB battery (doesnt everyone have a few of these now-a-days?) its the perfect setup for those day-long VR sessions. Theres something so satisfying about the clicks as you tighten the knob... knowing that once youre comfortable, its going to stay that way. This upgrade singlehandedly improved my experience to the point that I could easily double or triple the length of my gaming sessions just because of the comfort difference. Ive never been this comfortable in the Quest 2, and I know Ill be getting all my Quest accessories from KIWI from now on.

Really comfortable for long play time.

In terms of headstraps I saw a lot recommending this one by Kiwi and I now understand why. This is basically a better elite strap. The pivot it has not only allows it to be sturdier than the elite but also makes it easy to quickly grab something I may need or check my phone. It’s super comfortable on my head the cushioning is fantastic. I play vr a lot for many hours and genuinely I forget the strap is there at all, I no longer have any pain wearing my headset which is great! Highly recommend this over the elite strap.

The head strap and band is great. It helped hold it on but relieved some the weight to the face. Had to look on YouTube to find out how to put it on. Turned out easy.
