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.
Hi there! Thanks for such an excellent 5 star review. We really appreciate the amazing feedback you've provided and are so glad to hear that you've been enjoying such a great gift from your son!

Incredible Upgrade – Best Standalone VR Headset Ye

The Meta Quest 3 is a huge step forward from previous generations. The clarity is immediately noticeable — everything looks sharper, cleaner, and more immersive thanks to the improved resolution and processing power. The passthrough is surprisingly good and makes mixed reality actually useful instead of just a gimmick.
Setup was fast and easy, and being completely wireless makes a massive difference for comfort and freedom of movement. Performance is smooth, loading times are quick, and games feel more responsive compared to older headsets. The 512GB storage is a big plus — plenty of room for games, apps, and updates without constantly managing space.
Comfort is improved, though longer sessions may still benefit from an upgraded strap. Battery life is decent for standalone VR, and the controllers feel accurate and well balanced.
Overall, this is the best standalone VR headset available right now and absolutely worth the upgrade if you’re coming from a Quest 2 or jumping into VR for the first time

The Meta S Battery Extender has completely transformed how I use my device. I used to constantly worry about my battery dipping into the red during longer sessions, but this extender has eliminated that stress entirely. The extra runtime is impressive—easily adding several hours of consistent use without adding much bulk or weight.
Installation was simple and intuitive, and the build quality feels just as premium as the Meta S itself. It clicks in securely, stays cool, and doesn’t interfere with comfort, even during extended wear. I especially appreciate that it maintains smooth performance without any noticeable power fluctuations.
If you rely on your Meta S for work, gaming, or travel, this accessory is an absolute game-changer. It delivers exactly what it promises and then some. Highly recommended!
Wow! What a review! We really appreciate your feedback on the Quest Elite Strap with Battery.
We're delighted you're able to utilize the full range of the battery without any power fluctuations while having smooth performance. And we definitely agree that this accessory is great for all types of activities, whether it be streaming games, travelling, working or just comfort.
Thanks for taking the time to write this detailed review. We appreciate it and we hope you have a lovely rest of your day.

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

The Meta Quest 3 Elite Strap has been a game-changer for me. Right off the bat, I found it to be incredibly light and much more comfortable than the default strap that comes with the Quest 3. The ergonomic design really shines during extended play sessions — I no longer feel that annoying pressure on my face, and the strap distributes the weight evenly across the back of my head. It’s easy to adjust thanks to the dial on the rear, which ensures a snug fit without being too tight.
One of the best features for me is how it lets me play longer without discomfort. The stability it offers means the headset stays put, even when I move around actively. It’s great knowing I can dive into immersive experiences without needing frequent breaks to relieve face pressure or adjust the fit.
Overall, the lightweight comfort and improved fit make the Meta Quest 3 Elite Strap a worthy upgrade
We are happy to hear that you are finding the Elite strap with battery to be a great addition to your Metaverse experience!
We wish you a wonderful rest of your day!

Quest 3 Elite strap with battery

The Quest 3 Elite Strap has been a great upgrade for me. It feels much more comfortable and sturdy compared to the standard strap. The built-in battery pack is a game changer since it gives me extra playtime during longer sessions. I use it all the time when hanging out with friends or jumping between different games. It works great as a first battery source before switching over to the headset’s built-in battery, which really helps extend how long I can stay in VR. And if I ever need more power, I can always plug in while using it. Overall, it’s been an awesome addition that really improves the experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review of the Elite Strap with Battery!
We're so pleased to hear you are enjoying your Meta Quest experience and extending your time in the Metaverse with the additional battery.
We hope you continue to enjoy your gaming experience!
See you in the VR!

Purchased this for my son and he absolutely loves it! The quest3 head straps aren’t comfortable so this actually makes it more comfortable to wear! And of course the extra battery life is great too!
Thanks for taking the time out of your day to tell us your thoughts.
We hope your son has many more VR adventures ahead.

I give it a 4/5 since it works as intended for extended battery life. I give it a 5/5 for making the headset alot more comfortable to wear. I recommend it, just for the comfort the battery life is just an added benefit.

My son loves this! It straps onto his Meta Quest 3 perfectly. He said it is comfortable and gives him extra battery life. It is built well and seems like it will last.
We hope your son continues to enjoy the Metaverse experience with his Quest 3.

Works, fits official case, but overpriced

They seem to have fixed the issue that caused these to fail when they were first reviewed. Connects easily, headset shows charge of headset at extended battery. I never had much trouble with comfort on the default strap, but this seems to be a minor upgrade from that, and less wobbly.
This headset, unlike a lot of 3rd party battery straps, does fit in the official carrying case, if you happen to have one of those.
If you turn the headset off, be sure and disconnect the extended battery, because otherwise the headset will drain the battery passively. Meta support says that headset and battery have overcharge protection and recommend leaving it plugged in when not in use.
The big negative here, as will all official Meta Quest accessories, is that it is wildly overpriced compared with 3rd party options. If you don't need to fit a specific case, I'd recommend looking for something well reviewed from another manufacturer.

The design adds a lot of comfort but battery life doesn't seem to be as long as I would expect. It does, however, extend battery life considerably longer than the headset alone. Otherwise great product!

The Quest Elite Strap with Battery works with Meta Quest 3/3s. I like to play Miniwalkaround Golf on my Quest 3. The VR Game requires a ton of power for the amount of graphics. What I like about this is that the system uses the external battery first than usies the head set battery. I get about 2 and a half hours before the headset is depleted. Much longer if just watching video.

This new headstrap for my Meta 3 is Awesome! It really gives me that extra play time it says. Extends my battery time by hrs! Also its designed and made very well. Its alot better than the one ot comes with. Love the extra head comfort, adjustability is way easier and the charge port is in a convenient location. Very happy customer!
