Customer Ratings & Reviews

Definitely an improvement over the default strap. Still a challenge to put on if you wear glasses probably even more so. Heard of these breaking easily not sure if one i received will break eventually so far so good. It is easier to adjust and bit more comfortable, but heard one with battery pack evens out the front weight which it still a bit of an issue with Elite Strap alone. All in all a difference in comfort and adjust

This is the best VR headset in the market, hands down. One of the best things about it is that it is tetherless, meaning you do not have to worry about tripping on any cables while you have it on your head. This makes it very mobile and easy to transport. For example, it is a breeze moving between living room to bedroom and vice versa. In addition, it makes it easy to transport to your friends and family's homes. The build quality and screen quality is excellent. I'm surprised by how comfortable it is to wear compared to other VR headset models. It's not heavy at all and there is a soft foam cushion on the front to block out any ambient light into your eyesight as you use it. It is truly a remarkable experience trying out the Oculus Quest 2 for the first time. It is hard to explain. The moment you put the headset on, you'll feel like you are in another world. One of the things that really impressed me was how realistic it feels and how responsive and accurate your head and hand movements are reflected in the 3D environment. If you play long enough, you might even forget about the real world :) The sound quality is also very clear. The headset has a feature called "Passthrough" which allows you to see the real world even while you have the headset on. This is because the headset has cameras on the outside that project pass through video onto the screen on the inside of the headset. This is an amazing feature as it allows you to orient yourself in the real world while you have the headset on. It is also used to configure safety boundaries before you play any video games. There are so many video games on Oculus Quest 2 including Beat Saber, Superhot VR, Ping Pong, Boxing, Population One, Escape Room games, Star Wars, Resident Evil, etc. Horizon Worlds is a free VR online game that allows you to create, explore and play with other people online. I highly recommend going through the the Quest 2 tutorial where you learn how to pick up objects with the hand controllers, throw objects, punch objects, use one or two hands on objects, dodge objects, crouch and slide from objects, push objects, dance with objects --- it is really limitless the amount of things you can do with this VR headset. Additionally aside from games, you can also explore 3D artwork narrated by creative artists and even watch movies in 3D or 2D if you choose. It supports a web browser and even youtube viewing. Overall you can also burn a lot of calories from it. I highly recommend the Quest 2!

The item is great but the service from Best Buy is absolutely awful!!! Apparently they only have a 14 day return policy on certain items, which is absolutely ridiculous!! I bought my grandson, what I thought was the Meta Quest 3 Elite Strap on January 5th but his birthday wasn’t until Jan. 20th which is when he opened it and we relized I had actually bought the Meta Quest 2 Elite Strap instead of the Meta Quest 3 Elite Strap and went to exhange it 15 days later at Best Buy. They refused to do it for me. 1 day later than their ridiculous return policy on certain items and mind you, I would have been paying them another $10 plus tax more for the Meta Quest 3, but they refused to work with me! I WILL NEVER SHOP AT BEST BUY AGAIN!

Extend your game time on the Oculus and get some added comfort. Great buy, fits perfect and extends the time you can play before you have to charge.

Makes switching the headset between multiple people so much easier. And much more comfortable. But it is too expensive for what it is.

So far so good. Bought the Best Buy 2 year protection plan for $10 because of all the breakage reviews. Haven’t seen any problems yet in the last 3 weeks of daily use. I engage very active sims in VR - so if it breaks? I’ll come back and let you all know. Super easy to get on and off, plus adjust for other users. Really wanted the Elite w/ battery for the counter weight...so hoping that will restock before too long.

males the experience 10x better and honestly should just be default. i wouldnt have known how good it was but i got it included for free so i knly had the old strapsnon for a day and they honestly made the quest 2 gameplay feel less real. head movement and vision are better as it stays in place and also has sulicon so when combined with the silicon face cover its great for playing intense games(thrill of the fight)as it stays in place without absorbing sweat

I got this for my son because the original strap hurt his head. This works perfectly not only for him but it fits everyone in the house I would buy it again.

The Elite Strap for the Oculus Quest 2 is an all around upgrade to the standard strap. It feels much better, it is easier to adjust, and makes getting the headset on and off much simpler. This strap is an essential add-on of the Quest 2 (so make sure you budget the extra $50 for it when taking the plunge). I'm only docking a star because this should be the standard strap that comes with the headset.

The strap really helps to obtain a better fit than the stock fabric strap. Also provides a better fit than the stock straps for the original quest and the Rift, both of which I've used. The sides are made out of thin plastic - mine haven't cracked, but having tried it I can see why others are complaining about the plastic cracking under normal use. The rating really depends on it being durable enough to survive normal use - so far so good.

Great headset. Fit much better than the original set that came with the unit. More comfortable too. Worthy investment, especially if you play a long time

Love it! Keeps the headset snugly in place. Stays in place when making fast head moves. And it oh so comfortable. Hda to get another for my friend.

This strap is one I believe everyone needs if they struggle with putting the headset on tight enough in a comfortable position. You just take out the original straps on you’re headset and stick these in just simple. If there’s any problem, it’s that it should’ve came with the headset instead of the original strap and it can start hurting you’re head after really long sessions.

This items value is definitely in the eye of the beholder. My two boys each have an Oculus. One loves this head strap as it enhances the fit to a smaller head. The other tried it and decided the original strap gave him a better fit. Personally, I prefer the original as well. However, If you are one who doesn't like the fit of the original head strap, I would certainly recommend you try this as it is much more adjustable.

After a long period of use (1.5 hours+) it becomes uncomfortable and started to make the top of my head feel tingly but overall much better than the original

This strap is much better than the one that comes with the headset. Still puts alot of pressure on your face and the back of your head. I would get headaxhes with longer sessions. I recommend getting a Halo strap similar to the one that the PSVR uses, takes the pressure off the face and balances the weight so it doesnt feel like you're squeezing your head. They're cheaper too.

This strap provides a much better comfort level for wearing the headset which is really front heavy. It balances the weight better than the strap that comes with the Oculus.

fits perfectly on the metaquest and is really comfortable

So totally worth it, i saw people saying that they got the strap way after the headset and it was much better so i bought this when i bought my VR and i can already tell it's so much better than the small strap. only problem is if you have very frizzy and poofy hair you might have struggle with the clarity since it won't be adjusted right

It's honestly been fine. I don't use my Oculus super often, but the elite strap is MUCH easier than the basic one. So far no signs of breaking on the sides *knocks on wood* but I do keep that in mind and generally handle with care when rotating the sides. The adjustment knob on the back feels/sounds cheap, but has otherwise operated just fine. The strap itself is actually quite comfortable, but the Oculus is still front heavy. If you were to put an external battery on the back, that would probably balance it out.
