This means that when you are heavily into a game in VR but you need to quickly switch out, you can easily flip up the front of the unit to see. Note: Please use the cloth that came with the package or tissue to wipe off the sweat on the PU leather cushions in time to avoid mold, do not use chemical liquids such as alcohol and detergent.

Precision-engineered hinge - Our well-design hinge allows the headset to flip up to 52°, providing the ability to check your surroundings without fully taking off the headset and extra convenience for users with glasses. On paper, the idea is pretty smart; a bottom cover nestles itself on the underside of the Touch tracking ring. To top it off, the headset has super high-quality headphones built in that are easy to adjust and actually comfortable to wear for hours on end. While it might sound tempting to grab one of the many Quest 2 head straps that allow you to simply slap in a power bank you already own — like the Ahroy elite strap with battery holder pictured above — the quality and overall design of most of these straps is usually pretty bad. The added soft PU leather padding on the back of the headband ensures a comfortable fit on the user's head.Plus, there's no guarantee your battery pack will actually charge the Quest 2 fast enough to keep it going for a long time.

The one thing that really stands out to me on the Kiwi Design Quest 2 Elite Strap is the head cushioning. There’s even a hinge on the side straps so you can adjust the angle that the headset rests on your face. The dials you twist into the lower cover to hold the weights in place also get in the way of your thumbs when using analog sticks, so it’d be a pretty annoying experience to play a game that relies heavily on smooth locomotion or other such control schemes. This headstrap is very comfortable but I paid extra so it would boost battery life as I play…unfortunately that part doesn’t work.

The back of the KIWI Elite Strap features a large cushion (larger than the original Oculus Elite Strap] which improves the comfort of this Strap. It’s not exactly a secret at this point that Meta’s own Elite Strap for Quest 2 can be a bit of a gamble. This innovative headband was developed with with the aim of optimizing the wearing comfort of the Headset, allowing users to enjoy an immersive experience without discomfort.

But that's not the only advantage; the KIWI design Elite Strap also improves the wearing comfort of the Quest 3 Headset on the user's head. Alongside reduced scores, VR fitness games just aren’t designed with these weights in mind, and you might find that some exercises are too demanding or fast-paced to handle with them attached. The KIWI design Elite Strap is a custom headband, designed to seamlessly integrate with the Meta Quest 3 headset. It's got the Z-shape hinge and forehead padding of a halo strap as well as the top strap that's common on Elite-style straps.KIWI's Quest 2 elite strap takes some design cues from Meta's failed official Elite Strap and improves them in meaningful ways. Not only is the design work great, but with the Kiwi Design Quest 2 Elite Strap creates a sturdy base for your VR unit. On the bright side, there's a set of four LED status lights on the back so you know exactly how much battery is left to keep your Quest 2 charged with just a quick glance. The worst thing I've experienced is occasionally a hair might get tugged but that has happened maybe once or twice so far. After experiencing constant headaches and discomfort while using the official Elite Strap from Oculus/Meta, I decided it was time to find a better solution.
