I have the Basic Kiwi elite strap, without the headphones. I love it so I assumed this one would be just as good, if not better. I was not disappointed. It actually improved on the original in a couple ways. The most obvious is the addition of the headphones. The ear pieces have a soft covering for your ears. So it is extremely comfortable. The sound is also really good and plenty loud enough. When playing a game like Beat Saber, it is especially good. Only negitive about it is that it makes it harder to hear your surroundings. But, to compensate for that, the earphones are adjustable so you can just let them sit a little higher on your ears. The other bonus is that the ability to tilt the headstrap to make it easier to put on or take off. The Original strap did that as well, but this one tilts up higher. There is a lot of cushioning on top and behind your head, which makes extended play sessions comfortable. It also stays snuggly in place without having to tighten it too tightly. There is no fear of it falling off your head. It tightens with a wheel at the back of the strap, and, as I mentioned, it tilts allowing an easier time to get it on or off. The only real Negitive I can say about this item is that it doesnt have a built in battery pack. But it doesnt claim to. It would just be nice. However, Kiwi sells a holder that attaches right to the strap. With this strap, you place the battery holder at the back of the strap, on the bottom of the head cushion. Then place a battery pack (which you do have to buy extra. The battery doesnt come with the holder.) But you dont feel the extra weight or the extra battery. All that costs extra though and, although nice, it is not necessary, especially if you dont play for long stretches of time. But this Elite Strap is an easy recommendation.

The big phone part on the back of your head does not stay in place like it will pop out as soon as you take it off your head Im really disappointed in this but it still comfy its just really annoying to have to put back on all the time

First off...this isnt a bad item at all. Id say its pretty average overall, but for the price, its difficult for me to enthusiastically endorse. The fit is definitely better than the stock strap that comes included with the Quest 2, but I didnt find it nearly as comfortable or stable as the Quest 2 branded Elite Strap. Secondly, though the padding on the head strap and the headphones is cushy, it also makes things extra hot, so sweat is going to be an issue if you use this for fitness or sports games. Third, I really didnt find the sound to be better at all than the stock speakers that sit just off of your ears on the standard strap setup. In fact, it seemed a little less full sounding somehow. For build quality, I will say it seems like a very well made unit. The design matches the Quest very well. The adjustment lever on the back is very similar to the Oculus Elite Strap and there is plenty of adjustability. Personally, Id probably recommend buying the Elite Strap and using a decent pair of headphones separately rather than trying to find a headset with headphones integrated in. Its fine, but its not a huge improvement on convenience and definitely not a big improvement on sound quality. I dont regret buying it. It is nicely made and Ill certainly use it on nights when I need to keep the sound down for the wife and kids. It definitely does what is claims. It does everything you need it to do.

So much more stable and comfortable than the strap it came with. The earphones are very soft and stay in place. Worth every penny. Do it!

Had a little trouble at first with the install, as it was not intuitive for me. The video worked great. It does add weight that is noticeable to the device, but the padding is very comfortable. Getting it on and off is much better now and it is quick and easy to adjust the fit. My husband does not have to hear Lizzo belting it out when I play Beat Saber. Worth the purchase.

I have the elite strap, Bobovr M2, and now this Kiwi with Audio strap and like them all. - The Oculus Elite is the most secure and the smallest and will fit in any case, and can tighten the most in a clamping style on your face, making it the strongest but also the most uncomfortable after a long session. - The Bobovr halo style was okay, but the back would slide up with quick movements and the headset would droop at the front onto my nose. This could only be countered by velcroing battery packs on the back strap to counterweight, but it was comfortable after these mods. It wasnt the most secure for something like Thrill of the Fight though - This Kiwi strap is a combo of the comfort (padded) and security (clamp style) but also adds soft ear bumps/cups that nestle against your ear for a better audio experience. A battery pack attached to the back will always help with how front-heavy the Quest 2 is, but this has not need that yet. Overall, they all have their benefits and I will probably keep all of them. Elite for fast action, Bobovr for relaxing games, and the Kiwi for an all around strap. I will most likely use the Kiwi the most because it is an all-around good headset for any game. I had no complaints about the default speakers before other than they had to be turned up pretty high, but having speakers that are more like headphones that sit right against your ear are a big plus for the Kiwi.

I absolutely love this replacement head strap. It is comfortable and well made. The challenge - it only fits into the cases I use, if the large padded plastic head pad is detached (this is what Kiwi recommends.) I dont want to detach the head pad each time I store the headset. I wish they sold a case that would fit my Meta Quest 2 with the head strap and head pad attached.

Listen, we all know the head strap that comes included with the Quest 2 is hot garbage. I purchased a different head strap a couple years ago to replace it. When I saw this product come across my feed, I was intrigued to try it out. Installation was even easier than my original replacement headset. The 3.5mm jack that plugs into the side for the included headphones doesnt throw off the balance at all, nor does it dangle or get hung up in any way. The top strap is thick and comfortable. The headphones are easily adjustable to the player as well. My 11-year-old is playing as I type this and the best part is I cant hear any of the inanity going on in RecRoom. Beyond that, of course, the headphones adjusted to her head nicely with little to no fuss. I played for about 90 minutes after I installed the head strap and it was the most comfortable Ive ever felt wearing the Quest 2 and Ive logged a significant amount of hours over the last couple years. This product isnt cheap, but as is often true in life, you get what you pay for. I anticipate many hours playing a variety of different games and not being even remotely uncomfortable. If youre going to drop a few hundred on a Quest (in whatever iteration), spending a bit more to upgrade the head strap is well worth your time!

I have almost no complaints for the product I purchase if anything I feel like the knob is a little loud but that’s just a small complaint

I bought this for my son. The headset straps that came with his Oculus weren’t comfortable and he felt like he had a small weight on his head. This strap is much easier to adjust and more comfortable to wear according to him. I got him the version with headphones and he loves them. This definitely upgraded his Oculus experience and makes us it even better
