Customer Ratings & Reviews

A much improved strap compared to the included soft strap that comes with the Quest 2. The incremental adjustment/tightening dial on the back allows for a snug but comfortable fit. I was hesitant to try this strap due to the reviews that showed how quickly this strap can break but the manufacturing date on my strap box showed June 2021 so it had just been manufactured. After a month of consistent use between both casually and intense game play, I have had no problems and see no signs of wear or breakage. Granted, I am being extra careful with the strap when putting it on and taking it off. I always make sure the strap is opened wide enough to fit my head easily inside before tightening it and again when I remove it. That way, there's no resistance and no chance of damage from any kind of shear force or bending. I also paid a little extra for a two year replacement plan with Best Buy just in case it did fail I could always return it and get a new one.

This is should be the standard strap. Compared to the stock strap, this is much more secure and comfortable for longer period of time and reduces the amount of times you have to adjust because of it. The headset also feels lighter because the distribution of weight is better

This strap is simple, comfortable, and provides an excellent service - namely allowing for a snug, weight-bearing, comfort-fit. I've heard concerns about the strap breaking, and I've only been using it a month, but it has been perfectly fine for me at this point.

I highly recommend the Quest 2 Elite strap with battery. This one is great for getting a tight fit on your head but the Strap with batter overs a very useful counter weight.

Game changer, the original strap that comes with the oculus does not hold a light to this. Total worth the purchase especially if you are swapping between people

It’s nice enough. I wanted and really needed the one with a battery. But it is not available and probably won’t be for quite a while so I ended up buying this one and an aftermarket battery solution. A long -cumbersome, expensive way around to getting what I really wanted and needed in the 1st place and it looks pretty bad compared to the just getting the one with the battery built in . ( I got the Best Buy protection plan on the strap so I wouldn’t have to worry about breaking it.) It is a lot nicer than the original strap but you will still need an after market face cushion (also unavailable at this time) to get completely comfortable for long Vr sessions.

Best thing ever! It fits your head so perfectly and you don’t have to worry about your headset coming off! Tightens really easy and will stay like that too! 10/10

I was told to purchase this immediately upon purchasing the oculus so I don’t even know what the original head strap feels like but I can say that this one is sturdy, well balanced on your head and as comfortable as would be expected. The padding is sufficient but Im sure it can be improved on which is why Im giving it 4/5 stars. Over long playing time it makes my forehead hurt even if it’s not cinched tightly. Would absolutely still recommend.

Easy to adjust for different sized heads makes switching between kids hassle free. Holds better than the standard headband.

Love the fit comfortable. Very durable when wearing . Doesn’t slide as much as the one that comes with it

This is a definite need for system. Without it headset is heavy and falls down on face. Though this type of fitted strap should of came with original unit, I suppose it was a way to make consumers make additional purchase for optimal use. It does make a huge difference. Only giving it 4 on rating as it should not be something you have to purchase afterwards. Should of been equipped with Oculus from the start.

It is very easy to use lightweight and it feels very good on the back of your head

The head strap is a little pricey but it works great compared to the one that comes with the Oculus Quest 2. I have less strain on my head and feel more confident when moving my head around quickly. It was beyond simple to take off the original one and install the new one.

I love my Oculus Quest but noticed that my head starts to hurt after wearing it for some extended periods of gameplay. So I decided to pick this up and it had made extended periods of gameplay more comfortable and more secure.

So much better than the included strap. I was able to 3D pin a nice mount that snaps on the back to hold a 5000 mah battery pack so I dont have to worry about battery life, and it has the happy side effect of balancing the Oculus Quest 2 better.

Easy to attach and adjust. The original strap isn't bad, it's just a pain to readjust for different heads. It shouldn't be $50 though, more like $25, so four stars.

Makes using the quest 2 so much better. It fits better on the head and is so much more secure than the basic straps.

Enter the realm of unparalleled head-hugging with the Meta Quest 2 Elite Strap, a marvel in the world of virtual reality headwear. It's gray, because when you think of excitement and adventure, the first color that comes to mind is, obviously, gray. First, let's address the elephant in the room – the comfort level. Wearing this strap is like having a gentle, yet somewhat clingy embrace around your skull. It's not quite a head massage, but more like a firm reminder that you're tethered to virtual reality. If you've ever wanted to know what it feels like to wear a stylish vice on your head, this is your chance. Durability? Well, let's just say it's more reliable than a chocolate teapot but less so than, say, a strap made of actual steel. It exists in that sweet spot where every time you put it on, it's a mini adventure: "Will today be the day it decides to embrace entropy?" Adjustability is a key feature here. You can tighten it, loosen it, and adjust it until you find that perfect spot between "I can feel my pulse in my face" and "Is this thing even on my head?" It's like playing a game of 'will it fit', but the prize is just wearing your VR headset without questioning your life choices. Aesthetically, it's as eye-catching as a cloudy day. But remember, you're not wearing this to make a fashion statement; you're wearing it to dive into virtual worlds where, thankfully, no one can judge your accessories. In conclusion, the Meta Quest 2 Elite Strap is for those who value a virtual experience so immersive that they forget about the mildly uncomfortable contraption hugging their cranium. It's the perfect accessory for anyone looking to add a touch of 'gray' to their VR experience – both literally and metaphorically. Strap in and brace yourself for a journey of moderate comfort and adjustability!

Awesome! So comfortable! Definitely recommend. Love how long battery lasts.

this has helped with the vr not giving me a headache and holds it in place very well
