About this deal

If you can get your hands on a Quest 3, you’ve got everything you need right in the box to start playing some of the best VR games out there. Once you’ve got a few hours under your belt though, you’ll probably notice a few things that definitely need improving, many of which can thankfully be solved with a few key aftermarket accessories.

It seems to work just fine, but removing the original headstrap always makes me feel like I’m going to break something, and attaching the new straps is an awkward affair since there’s no clear starting point. You’ll figure it out eventually, but something more intuitive would have been welcomed. But for my taste, I’m not buying a case for fashion’s sake—it serves its purpose perfectly well as a tote for the Quest 2, controllers, and charger.The Quest 3 Elite Battery Strap is really comfortable to wear, and I’ve spent up to 6-7 hours using my headset in a day without any discomfort at all. The headset stays in place even when playing energetic games such as Thrill of the Fight. The side straps don’t touch my ears and I don’t feel any pressure points even after wearing my Quest 3 for a long time. What I Don’t Like About The Quest 3 Elite Strap With Battery PC VR Headsets Bevat een ingebouwd scherm en sluit je aan op je computer All-In-One VR Headsets Een complete vr ervaring zonder mobiele telefoon of pc Smartphone VR headsets Door middel van je mobiele telefoon ervaar je virtual reality Augmented Reality headsets Projecteert digitale elementen in de echte omgeving Assisted Reality Headsets Second Chance XR Headsets This feels like a reasonable amount of time, and I’m usually ready for a break when the headset is starting to run out of battery. If I need additional battery life, I have a number of external batteries that I can connect to the Elite Battery Strap to extend the battery life further. Quest 3 Elite Strap With Battery Video Review Personally, I’m really pleased with the Elite Strap. It’s not perfect by any means, but it solves the two main issues I have with the Quest 3 and looks great too.

Attach the Elite strap with battery side arms to the arms of the headset. You should feel and hear a snap, indicating that the arms are attached. There are also third-party head straps available, but we haven't tested any yet, so we can't recommend any at this time.

Immerse yourself in virtual worlds with no ill-fitting strap or low power warnings to distract you

The Elite Strap with battery has a capacity of 17.9Wh, so you don’t quite double the battery capacity of your device by using it with the Elite Strap with Battery. Based on how I’ve been using my Quest 3 since launch, I am getting between 3.5 to 4 hours of usage when using the Quest 3 Elite Strap with Battery. In terms of the Elite Strap itself, we've rounded up several 3rd-party Elite Strap alternatives that are more affordable and oftentimes more comfortable than the official model. I think the fov is to the point where I don’t mind it. With quest 2 I’d always think about how I wish it was bigger. The default Quest 3 head strap is marginally better than the Quest 2 head strap, but it’s still relatively uncomfortable, and wearing it results in the headset wobbling on your face as you move. A number of early testers of Quest 3 had mentioned that the new headstrap was much better than the one for Quest 2, but I think it’s only a minor improvement, and inadequate for more than occasional, short VR sessions. The cable that runs from the battery strap connects to the USB-C port on the left side of the headset, and then there is a separate USB-C charging port on the bottom of the Elite battery strap. You plug your charger into the USB-C port on the Elite Battery Strap and it will then charge both the headset and the external battery.

The Oculus Quest 2 Elite Strap and Elite Battery Strap accessories feel very well built and come highly recommended thanks to their intuitively fitting design and improvements to comfort over the default soft strap. The Elite Battery Strap has a slight edge on comfort thanks to the additional counterweight from the battery, but unfortunately it can only be bought bundled together with the Quest 2 case. It took less than two minutes to detach the default head strap and install the Elite Strap with Battery. The unit was about 50% charged when it arrived, so I put it on to charge for about an hour before using it.I highly recommend you to try it with a similar power bank (65W output is not needed, though): It's much cheaper, the effort is only slightly higher (putting on the belt, connecting the cable), and you can also use the power bank for other purposes. A short cable runs along the left side of the Elite Battery Strap which plugs into the side of Quest 2 to feed it power. The underside of the battery portion has its own USB-C charging port, allowing you to plug in your Quest 2 to charge both the extra battery and the headset at the same time. Maximise comfort with a balancing design that uses the weight of the battery to lift your headset away from your face
