> 24 hourThis headset is pretty nice! Its comfortable and the built in speakers work better than the ones that come on the quest and give my ears a break from having ear plug speakers in them. Plus, I dont have to worry about losing the ear plugs or having loose wires. Sound quality is fine with me but keep in mind that I am far from an audiophile. Another thing I like is that this one locks into the headset. Other ones Ive had slid into them and while I never had an issue with them, this feels more secure. Its pretty comfortable and something I like compared to others is that it tightens up pretty small so it gits even a childs head. Others Ive had ended up a little loose on a childs head. The only thing Id add to this would be a battery pack or even just something to hold an external battery. Id also say it could use a small price reduction by about $15 but, to be fair, until I find something better, this is going to be the headset of my choice. Overall, Id say this is a good headset with nice sound and goid adjustability.

> 24 hourThe KIWI Headphone Head Strap is definitely one of my favorite upgrades for my Quest 2. The head strap is much more comfortable and secure than the standard OEM strap, while the on-ear headphones are simply amazing. The difference in audio clarity when compared to the default Quest 2 speaker system is simply amazing. Perhaps just as important to me, the on-ear headphones are extremely comfortable, allowing for hours of uninterrupted play. The strap tilts upward to make it easier to put the headset on or take it off. That same motion also pushes the on-ear headphones outward, allowing them to slide easily over your ears before slowly lowering into position as you lock the head strap in place. The headphones enhance the audio quality of both games and multimedia, delivering a much richer experience for the user while minimizing the impact on others nearby. I highly recommend this product.

> 24 hourThe on-ear audio setup on this strap is very similar to what Valve has on the Index and what HTC has on their Deluxe Audio strap (DAS). For several years people have been modifying the DAS for use on their Quest. Its called frankenquesting and required an expensive DAS as well as bracket to connect the DAS to the Quest. The reason for this was that the DAS and Index setups both place the speakers close enough to your ears to provide excellent sound quality while still allowing you to be able to hear your surroundings. This strap allows you to have the excellent on-ear sound without having to go through the hassle of purchasing a DAS and having to find the correct adapter. Its also less than half the price of the DIY solution. The strap itself is comfortable. I wish they made it in a Halo style strap but Im willing to live with that for the amazing audio. Overall Id easily give this 5 stars. Kiwi has made a great name for themselves in the VR market for their headset/controller add-ons. This is another fine product theyve produced.

> 24 hourPurchased for my son. He installed it himself and was so happy with how it fit and the comfort. He was fed up with the original strap that came with the OQ2. He said he no longer has a sore head. So were overall happy with this purchase.

> 24 hourI have the elite strap, Bobovr M2, and now this Kiwi with Audio strap and like them all. - The Oculus Elite is the most secure and the smallest and will fit in any case, and can tighten the most in a clamping style on your face, making it the strongest but also the most uncomfortable after a long session. - The Bobovr halo style was okay, but the back would slide up with quick movements and the headset would droop at the front onto my nose. This could only be countered by velcroing battery packs on the back strap to counterweight, but it was comfortable after these mods. It wasnt the most secure for something like Thrill of the Fight though - This Kiwi strap is a combo of the comfort (padded) and security (clamp style) but also adds soft ear bumps/cups that nestle against your ear for a better audio experience. A battery pack attached to the back will always help with how front-heavy the Quest 2 is, but this has not need that yet. Overall, they all have their benefits and I will probably keep all of them. Elite for fast action, Bobovr for relaxing games, and the Kiwi for an all around strap. I will most likely use the Kiwi the most because it is an all-around good headset for any game. I had no complaints about the default speakers before other than they had to be turned up pretty high, but having speakers that are more like headphones that sit right against your ear are a big plus for the Kiwi.

> 24 hourThe headstrap is very comfortable and the headset sounds great. The $100 Logitech Chorus has more bass than this one but who wants to pay that money that dont support pc vr compare to this one. The price is perfect and I definitely recommend this.
