Quest 2 Elite Strap with Battery and Carrying Case for Enhanced Comfort and Playtime in VR

I bought the first elite strap at launch with my Oculus and loved it til it broke, got a replacement and it broke again in the same place! I'm cursed! However, I really wanted this one for wireless PC VR because of the battery. Only problem was it was never in stock! Finally was able to get one and it hasn't broke yet (knock on wood). Coupled with a few more accessories and I got a pretty good frankenquest setup! I like the fact that you can see both battery levels on the home menu also. I prefer first party products for this specific reason. The case: it's cool. I like the material. I don't use it to store the headset because of my setup. It doesn't fit, but with the stock strap and no grips on the controllers it's fine. I have shelves and hooks to store my stuff so I just use the case for other accessories and it's perfect for that purpose. Highly recommend for the battery strap alone. If you see it's in stock, better grab it. They scalp it on ebay all the time for double and even triple the price, just saying 😎

Before purchasing, I was a little concerned about the price: $129 is pretty expensive for a replacement head strap. But is breaks down fairly well. You get a $49 carry case, a $49 Elite Head Strap, and a $31 battery pack. The battery is built in to the head strap and provides not only double the charge for your headset, but also acts as a pretty great counter-balance, making the Quest 2 feel a lot more comfortable. The good: the head strap is a lot more comfortable than the default cloth one that came with the Quest 2. The ratcheting gear in the back allows quick and easy adjustment that stays where you set it, while the rubber and plastic frame provides stability, comfort and support. The integrated battery provides not only double the charge, but nearly completely counter-balances the headset so it does not feel like there is as much weight strapped to your face. The charge of the battery is also displayed within the headset, so you can keep track of your total charge. The carry case is made out of a strong and durable cloth-covered plastic with a recessed zipper, providing enough room inside for the headset, elite strap, controllers, and charger. The bad: Top of the list is that the carry case was included; I would have preferred a $79 product with case sold separately. The carry case has a recessed zipper, which is "neat" but has a tendency to get stuck on the USB cable running between the battery and the headset. And while the USB port on the battery can be plugged in allowing you to charge while using it, it does not support Link passthrough. Meaning if you want to use Oculus Link you can't use the extra battery. Overall I think this is probably a pretty good value for anyone wanting to get the new Elite Strap, and has some extra cash they want to throw at a battery and case. The battery is great for doubling the standard 2-hour play time of the headset, which is great for power gamers and avid VR movie watchers. However if you're not planning to use your headset for more than 2 hours at a time, there's not really a lot of incentive for you to get this. Still treat yourself to the Elite Strap, however. The $49 replacement strap is virtually a game-changer!

Excellent purchase. The Elite strap makes the Quest 2 so much more comfortable than the stock strap that came with it. It feels much more secure on your head . It's also much easier to adjust. The carrying case fits all accessories easily and the hard shell of it makes it all safe for transport. The only thing I don't like with the case is the zipper pull string. It's very thin (think a strong piece of thread) and seems like it may break easily.

Perfect integration with the Oculus 2. Easy to install. And play time is increased up to 4 hours straight (but sometimes 3, it depends on the game. Games with other players and a lot of chit chat seems to drain it faster). The battery balances the unit, so it's more comfortable then the original strap. Plus turning the dial to adjust the fit is satisfying. The case that came with it is nice, although it with be perfect if you could charge the oculus while it packed away, but you can not do that. So the oculus doesn't make it to the case as often. That's really the only con, aside from that it costs money. But I think it's worth the extended fun. Oh, btw, you can see the battery level for the extended battery while in VR. That is not the case for the 3rd party options. Bottom line, I'm very happy with this purchase.

The battery pack strap is great and adds a ton of extra playing time! There is a digital indicator on the headset in the Oculus menu to let you know the status of the battery pack separate from the headset which helps a lot. I wish they sold the battery headband separately. The case is OK. Not very sturdy and the zipper feels like it could break off at any second. I bought palm straps for the controllers and they aren’t very thick but it makes it very difficult to fit everything in there which I understand from a slim design perspective but it leaves almost no room for any additional accessories or add ons so you might as well get a different case altogether if you have any additional pieces for your headset or controllers. Overall somewhat worth the price for the battery headband but it could be cheaper or sold separately from the case.

It gives me a bout an extra hour or so of life very ajustable and not heavy at all

I'm still a little on the fence on the case - the zipper is on this string instead of a metal pull, which I fear might break (maybe I could just replace it if it does) but I'm giving this 5 stars just for the strap and the battery. The weight of the battery isn't much, but it offsets the weight of the headset really well for me, and I'm getting at least 5 hours out of it, at least I'd imagine that's how much I'd get because I've never been able to drain it. Even with 3 of us sharing the headset, we've never come close to 5 hours of single-session play so we keep ending up charging this when it gets to about 65-75% left. Using Virtual Desktop, which lets me stream VR content from my gaming PC with no cable, and using SideQuest, which lets me set the frame rate to 90hz even though Oculus hasn't officially released that patch yet, and both of these things should impact battery negatively, I played Half Life Alyx for 2 hours and still had 65% of my battery left - I was blown away. Seems to be about the same on Beat Saber online played entirely stand-alone (with no PC) ... getting about 5 hours playtime I'd guess, which is more than enough for us. I'd also recommend the VR cover pad, because your face will get sore before you battery dies if you buy this strap.

Eve though this item is in the expensive side of things, in the end i personally think its worth it. It adds an extra 2 or 3 hours of battery life depending on the game and its more comfortable to use than the included oculus strap. The carrying case is perfect. Everything fits tight and its really compact. It makes taking your quest to a families house or a friend’s house really easy. I wish there was a way to charge the oculus while in the case but there is none. You can charge the battery strap and the quest at the same time just bu plugging the usb c cable in to the back of the elite strap while it is also connected to the oculus. Overall built quality is Great and what you expect for the price. I Recommend it for any Quest 2 user.

VR本体とバッテリーをしまう時、ケースのチャックの引っ掛かりが気になる位で、特に問題は感じません。

Excelente producto y la entrega es muy buena. Gran producto

Ready to take the wonderful oculus 2 to the next level of comfort and durability? This is the right product to make it happen. The elite stapp makes wearing the device for extended period quite comfortable. It is very easy to install. The battery extension also gives you a total of 5-6 hours of use which should be enough for you to enjoy a movie longer. The amazing thing about this battery in the strap is that it offers excellent counter balance to the oculus on your eyes. The back support distributes the pressure and add a third very important element in comfort and durability. It is on the pricy side but definitely worth the investment to extend your enjoyment of the oculus VR device

Llevo ya 1 año usándola y sigue en perfecto estado, Es todo un avance con respecto a la correa que trae por defecto, para sesiones prolongadas ayuda mucho a la gestión del peso ya que lo reparte mejor al tener la bateria en la zona posterior de la cabeza. La caja también entra perfecta en una mochila cualquiera y el diseño es muy elegante, ya que la correa queda oculta, ademas dentro de la caja se pueden meter algunas cosas extra, como el propio cargador de las gafas. es un precio premium pero compesa.

Compared to the elastic strap this is an absolute dream and I would say is essential is you find the stock headset heavy. The battery gives a couple of extra hours play time and really balances out the headset. I would say it probably doubles the weight but as it is balanced you will not notice any difference. I hope in Quest 3 they take the battery out of the front completely as it makes no logical sense but that's another story. I really want to give this 4 stars as the price is just a little too high but I guess we are still the early adopters of this tech so cant really complain. If you have a Quest 2 I would say this is essential for sessions of longer than 30mins. The price sucks but bite the bullet and you wont regret it I don't think. There were also rumours of these breaking but in my experience I cant see this happening unless you were to stand on the arm(s) with some force. Build quality is really nice.
