> 24 hourMy wife and I share our one Quest 2 which we bought primarily for Supernatural VR Fitness. There are times one of us dont get the Quest back on the charger in time for the next person to also enjoy exercising with the Quest . Its difficult to say how much more time the extra connected battery will provide but it really should give us plenty of a buffer in preventing an uncharged Quest from ruining someones exercise time. As far as comfort and weight, I didnt find the added weight of the battery too heavy and overall the strap was comfortable. Some say this battery head strap is more comfortable as it acts as a counter-weight to the heavy front but I didnt notice too much of a difference. No different might be a good thing if youre already used to wearing the Quest 2. I will say though if you dont already have an adjustable strap with the dial in the back to better tighten the strap (very convenient)...buying this one with the bonus of a battery at just a little extra cost is a no brainer to me. Speaking of battery. Charging is Type-C which is great but in order to charge the battery a charging block is not provided so youll need to provide your own charging block. But my real complaint is the lack of instructions on how to charge this battery head strap in the first place. There are detail instructions on how to connect the strap to your Quest 2 but its like they completely forgot all about the battery (the reason youre buying this strap). How do you charge the battery, can you use either cable, and can we have a full explanation of the LED lights while charging the headset or using the headset. I think I figured it all out, but Im not fully confident of the charging rules here.

> 24 hourwow, this is great, Im sorry I waited so long to add a balanced back weight (the battery). the headset is much more comfortable to wear now. highly recommend this unit. the side clips took a little extra strength to secure, so keep trying until you hear it SNAP into place. The directions provided were great, and the fitting is a tight connection. Very VERY happy with this balanced strap replacement.

> 24 hourIt is easy to install and adjusts well. Havent had a chance to use it to see how long the battery holds up. Great product.

> 24 hourThis strap checks most of the boxes. its comfortable, easy to attach to the headset, and has a pivot to reduce strain on the sides of the strap. The battery lasts a long time as well. However, it loses a star due to the back pad. Most straps have a back plate support and pad with a hole in it. This strap has a solid pad with no hole. The result is not airflow and a more sweaty head. Since the battery is embedded, there is no way to remove it and replace it with another back plate. This strap is cheaper than some other straps, so the tradeoff for a sweaty head might be a good one if this strap fits in your budget. Just take more breaks!

> 24 hourIve been trying out a few different battery packs to get more time for my Quest 2. The good thing was the battery lasted for longer than my gaming session. The bad thing was my gaming session wasnt as long due to the weight. I think after adjusting to the added weight this would be fine, but it will take a little getting used to. The headband is starting to fray after only a few uses.

> 24 hourThe functionality more than makes up for the steep price. For portability, it manages to fold over in itself, making the Quest more compact and save space in your bag; a definite must for frequent travel. Its comfortable, though not optimized for laying down and instead designed for more upright play. Ive frequently forgotten about battery problems with the Quest 2 thanks to this straps integrated 5600mAh battery. Minus the bit of questionable warmth when charging, its perfect for another three or more hours of heavy usage on my device. I would absolutely recommend this to my friends and associates as a Quest 2 upgrade, couldnt have made this any better.

> 24 hourMy son loves playing his Quest 2 and was estatic about this. He says its comfortable and loves it because of the battery life provided by head strap. This head set was made with serious gamers in mind. Seems to be a well made quality head strap. No issues with it so far and he is a serious gamer.

> 24 hourIf Im being completely frank with you, I had grown tired of the constant discomfort, I was having from my headset never being able to simply stay attached without shifting or sliding off. That was one of the main factors that prompted me to try this strap and I must I was pleasantly surprised it stays in place its very adjustable and the battery pack included definitely works as advertised. Sadly, I use my PCVR so much that my battery is drained regardless but for any of you that use VR outdoors youll be delighted with how much the pack carries a charge it makes it seem perfect for any situation where youre in need of portability. All in all, I was pleased, and I will admit there are times the straps accidentally come off but Im pretty sure thats more due to my own clumsiness than anything else.

The Final Test
> 24 hourI ordered the Vimetapro Battery Head Strap 5600mAh Compatible with Quest 2. It is February 17, 2023. Lets see if it passes The Final Test! +1) Most importantly, its not too heavy. With the headset on my head with this battery head strap, I cannot feel any added weight, which is really good. 2) Its comfy and well padded, even on the top head strap. All materials feel nice. 3) For people with big ears, you may have issues with ear clearance to the side of the straps. This is a common issue with these style head straps. -4) Its not super secure.. you can sinch it down until its super tight on your face, but if you move your head quick, the headset still shifts. I wonder if a molded back support wouldve been better than a cushion in this case so you could have the best of both worlds. $$) For $50, you get a battery pack purpose built for your Quest 2. Gone are the days of running a USB-C cord down your shirt to a battery bank in your pocket... wait... that was cheaper. I just want to turn your attention to the Zyber pack off Amazon here for $25 that works with all sorts of head straps. I havent reviewed it yet but if it is as light as this head strap battery pack is, then it might be worth a shot. This item earned a C- for Meeting Expectations at a very high price...

> 24 hourI have multiple head straps for my Quest 2 and this was a great addition to my collection. It is both more comfortable than the original strap and gives the additional battery. A must have for any avid VR player :)
