About this deal
All of the above-recommended head straps from KIWI or BoboVR will actually charge your Quest 2 while it's playing thanks to specially designed circuitry. Many of these are made of cheap, creaky plastic that barely feels like it will hold the Quest 2 on your head. Head Straps like the GeekVR Q2 Pro have a removable battery that doubles as a USB power bank, giving it bonus points since it's useful for more than just one thing. For starters, the added weight of the battery strap is a good thing -- because it's in the back of the headset, it causes a balancing effect that removes pressure from your nose and forehead. The official Elite strap had durability issues, while KIWI built its strap to withstand much more tension.
Just charge the pack up with a USB Type-C charger and pop it on your headset with the magnetic attachments.This cool little add-on from Kiwi adds a halo ring to the existing head strap to increase your comfort. The packaging was clean and stylish, easy to open, and provided more than adequate protection for the contents. Superior-comfort design - The widened and thickened pad on the KIWI design Quest 2 head strap provides enhanced support and reduced pressure when equipped, resulting in a highly comfortable user experience.
KIWI's Quest 2 elite strap takes some design cues from Meta's failed official Elite Strap and improves them in meaningful ways. Plus, there's no guarantee your battery pack will actually charge the Quest 2 fast enough to keep it going for a long time.
I've tried half a dozen different types of Quest 2 head straps with room for a battery pack and didn't find one that was particularly good at all. I've also found that it slightly reduces the headset's FOV, so it's a little more obvious that you're looking through a pair of lenses into a VR world instead of just being fully immersed in one. It uses a forehead pad like halo-style straps but doesn't completely eliminate the headset's need to rest on your face.
