    Great addition but beware of weak screws for it

    The addition of the battery was amazing. It extended the gameplay quite a bit. Beware though, there are two tiny screws that hold the back of the headset in place. Its been noted in older versions this was a persistent problem with them coming loose our even out. The main problem is they still haven't fixed it. 1 month into it and mine came out and couldnt find it became it was such a tiny screw. I had to go through their support center, upload pictures, receipts, serial numbers etc. So they could replace it. Takes about a month turnaround so that is a bummer. If you look through the metaquest community hub this is a well known and ongoing problem. You can try to fix it yourself if you find the screw but it is in such an awkward spot it requires bending the headset and potentially breaking it which in turn would void the warranty (plus the head of the screw requires a particular screwdriver). Aside from that it's well worth it, just be wary of the screw coming out.

    This is a great solution for extended play if you don’t plan on running your Quest to a PC with a link cable. Snaps on in minutes and the adjustablitiy is nice. I would say that this somution is mostly for folks with adult-sized heads; as it does add a little weight to the overall experience and the strap (or at least mine) doesn’t appear to be able to size down to a children’s size (think 10-12years old).

    Meta quest 3 elite pro strap with battery review

    The pro strap for the quest 3 was a must-buy for me, since I find the standard strap to be uncomfortable at times, and much harder to adjust into the right and most comfortable fit. It is quite sturdy and easy to install, adjust. The battery on the back is very convenient and provides many more hours of gameplay or quest usage, without restraining you to a cable. I like the cord it comes with and how the usb-c goes has a flat cord that fits nicely and is safer to be damaged due to that shape.

    The Meta 3 Elite Strap is an absolute must-have accessory for anyone using the Meta 3 or 3S. From the moment you attach it, the difference in comfort is immediately noticeable. The ergonomic design provides excellent support, making extended VR sessions much more enjoyable and far less fatiguing. One of the standout features is the additional battery life. The extra power ensures you can dive into longer gaming or productivity sessions without constantly worrying about recharging. This feature alone makes the investment worthwhile, especially for heavy users. The strap also makes the headset much easier to handle. It offers a secure and snug fit, which improves overall balance and stability, ensuring the device stays comfortably in place during use. Adjustments are straightforward, making it quick to tailor the fit to your preference.

    It’s a night and day difference, head stops hurting and battery life is much longer. Plus you can charge the battery and the headset separately making things much faster.

    When you put the battery pack on the device becomes more balanced. 2 more hours of usage is all you need to keep battling monters and demons in the game called asgrath wrath....(hope I spelled it right.) It's a must play, when you pick up and play the device.

    This product was just what I was looking for! It certainly does its job. Provides greatly improved comfort, and doubles the lifespan of the Quest 3! When you plug it into your headset it recalculated the battery percentage to reflect the capacities of both the headset and the strap. Super handy! I’ve had no issues whatsoever with this product

    My son bought me this when we bought our Oculus 3s together at Best Buy. Ibdidnt wnantbto bugbit due to cost but my son insisted sobhe gotbit for me (and him) after wearing the strap that the headset cane with i understood bwhy folks get another strap. Amazon has several and considered tjose prior. In saying all this i get double the play time. Example: I watched a movie on it (2hrs) and when it was done the headset had only burned through the strap battery. I still had a full headset batter left (approx 2 hrs) So the review is based on comfort level amd battery life. Very comfortable & i coild weat this for hours comfortably, easily. The batterybis great and offers a lot of extended play time. A but expensive, but its worth it. A perfect addition amd must have. Very happy with this unit, as is my son. Eqsily 5 stars. PS get the warranty on it, worth it. Getvthe warranty for your actual headeet as well. Both worth the peace of mind on your pricey ivestments. Good job on this addition. Very pleased. This is not a paid review nor was i offered anything tonwrite this review.

    Always impressed with Meta Quest. Owned all iterations, including the first Oculus Go. Two tradeoffs to the Quest: Less reliable tracking than other headsets with external cameras and no leg tracking (would be great if you could purchase external cameras for extra tracking on Quest). Lower resolution display than other headsets, but still great and around ~2K resolution I believe. Amazing headset, recommend pairing with a PC wirelessly for even more games and fun.

    Comfortable strap and the ease of adjustment on the back is nice. Additional 2 hours of playtime is just enough. I will say installing the Elite Straps is nerve racking since you have to pop off the plastic cowl at the front of the headset. Plastic and I don't get along, so always think it will break. I initially was going to swap between this and the Elite Strap, but now that I have the Elite Srap w/ battery installed it will be staying there so I don't accidentally break the plastic cowl.

    The products functionality is great, but they continue to sell this with a known defect. Where the arms of the strap begin near the battery pack, one each side there is a tiny screw to attach pieces together. This screw frequently becomes loose and pops off and the product support takes weeks to address. This has been going on since 2013 and they know this and still sell it. The screw is incredibly tiny and if lost renders the product useless. It is also an incredibly difficult screw to put back in if you do find it and requires a very unusual shape/size screwdriver. When it is working, the strap and battery pack are a game changer. It fits wonderfully and adds significant extra usage time. Without the defect this would be a 5 of 5 must have. They have acknowledged in their support that this is a known problem however for years and continue to sell to consumers a product with a known defect.

    Have to admit I was a bit skeptical about the battery- happy to be wrong! Definitively enhanced gameplay length- and is extremely comfortable. You will need to check (if you use one) your carrier case when adding the elite head strap/battery -
