Review on Enhanced VR Gaming Experience: Oculus Quest 2 Head Strap with Battery Holder, Adjustable Elite Strap, and Comfort Lens Cover for Reduced Head Pressure by Rob Marsh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good design solved more problems than expected

My Oculus 2 headband broke so I bought it as a replacement. Dressing and undressing without problems. First, the fit and comfort are good and feel a bit tighter at the back of the head than the Vive Pro. Not as good as the original Vive headset, but closer than most. Second, the USB battery holder uses two Velcro straps and a small bar to hold the battery. Be sure to get a lightweight battery: Anker's 10,000mAh battery was about 11 inches long and too heavy, causing the Oculus to press against my forehead. A battery that is the same height and width as my iPhone X and about twice as thick will do. Expect to use a USB-CA cable that's at least 18 inches long, although there are 4 holes in the plastic back that you can run a longer cable through to take up the slack. The battery holder is on the back so you can wrap a loop or three around the base of the battery holder. Alternatively, you can thread a longer USB cable through one of these holes and stow the heavier battery in a belt pouch or back pocket to reduce the weight. Put on and attach the wired in-ear headphones that plug into the 3.5mm headphone jack on the left side of the Oculus 2. t tie the wires back neatly. Now for finding headphones that won't fall out while playing Sariento... There's a white bar under which you run the USB and headphone cables. I added four elastic bands on the same side to add extra strength and flexibility to the strap. Very happy with the design of this headband which solved more issues than expected.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
