> 3 dayI recently received the kiwi head strap with earphones. It took a minute to get it adjusted right but now I find it very comfortable. My only issue is the earphones are so padded that they make my ears sweat. You can easily move them out of the way though. They are adjustable in lots of ways. I would definitely recommend.

> 3 dayI 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

> 3 dayFirst 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.

Greater than one weekWow! These headphones are so soft and plush! You can basically sleep with them. I was under the impression that the headphones are detachable and can be used with the other headset with the battery pack. But have not tried to take it apart to combine the two kiwi attachments together. Overall, well made! And this company is the best aftermarket accessory for oculus quest

> 3 dayPurchased for my son. He installed it himself and was so happy with how it fit and the comfort. He was fed up with the original strap that came with the OQ2. He said he no longer has a sore head. So were overall happy with this purchase.

Greater than one weekI bought this direct from kiwis website and received it a couple days ago. With my short time with it Ive really enjoyed the audio headstrap. I have previously used the Bionik Mantis headphones, VR Ears from Rebuff Reality. Ive also used the bobo vr headstraps, and elite headstrap. This Kiwi design feels the most comfortable to my head from what Ive tried so far. The strap that goes on top of your head is nice and padded. The part that touches the back of your head has some thick padding that is very comfy as well. The headstrap is also very easy to take off. You just lift it from the back of your head and the back of the strap bends past 90 degrees and it pulls the headphones away from your ears so when you put the headset back on again you wont have to readjust the headphones. Also when I was taking off the headstrap I didnt really have to loosen the back part, I just lifted up the back part and it just came right off. Same with putting it back on slips right back on without having to make too many adjustments. The headphones themselves have some better than average sound quality imo. Definitely leagues better than stock. The kiwi headphones also have thick ear padding which helps since they are resting on your ears for hours at a time. They are also better than the other audio options Ive tried so far. The bionik mantis are not as comfortable as the kiwi headphones and lack bass. The Kiwis are also louder than the mantis. I also have the vr ears which are usb powered but are off ear in design and they also lack bass and also arent very loud. Cable management was much tidier than the bionik headphones. I still wish the cable management was better but it definitely doesnt get in the way putting the headset on or taking it off. It was kind of strange but in my package there was a little clip for the 3.5mm cables it didnt even come in the box the headstrap came in it was just in the package with it. Not really sure where I could even use it at to be honest. These are super adjustable as well, You can adjust them up and down, and the earpads swivel. They are on ear and are spring loaded so they are naturally going to press inward. I really couldnt be happier with the sound and comfort of the headstrap. The only problem with the headstrap is that it doesnt have a built in battery. Having no battery built in isnt a dealbreaker though. I added a bobo vr b2 battery dock to the back of the headstrap. I just velcrod it in behind the padding on the back of the strap. The battery dock even came with a rubber bumper so it wouldnt rattle from plastic on plastic. I got this for 72.00 shipped. On amazon regular price is 80.00, right now there is a 20% coupon you can clip which knocks the price down to 64.00. For that price you cant go wrong youre basically paying 32.00 for some headphones and 32.00 for a great headstrap.

> 3 dayThis headset is pretty nice! Its comfortable and the built in speakers work better than the ones that come on the quest and give my ears a break from having ear plug speakers in them. Plus, I dont have to worry about losing the ear plugs or having loose wires. Sound quality is fine with me but keep in mind that I am far from an audiophile. Another thing I like is that this one locks into the headset. Other ones Ive had slid into them and while I never had an issue with them, this feels more secure. Its pretty comfortable and something I like compared to others is that it tightens up pretty small so it gits even a childs head. Others Ive had ended up a little loose on a childs head. The only thing Id add to this would be a battery pack or even just something to hold an external battery. Id also say it could use a small price reduction by about $15 but, to be fair, until I find something better, this is going to be the headset of my choice. Overall, Id say this is a good headset with nice sound and goid adjustability.

> 3 dayThe headset was easy to install with great directions. This is the first headset Ive purchased for my Oculus 2, and I didnt even know the original band was removable. This KIWI product snapped onto the arms easily and securely. The head pads are attached by velcro and can be removed for easy cleaning. I did read the directions on installation but was still somehow confused that I needed to turn the dial on the back of the headset to loosen/tighten the headset. I got there eventually, and I can say this is a whole lot better than trying to play Beat Saber with the original headset. Everything balances out much better, and I no longer feel a pull on my face from the weight of the Oculus. That in and of itself is worth purchasing this product. Regarding the functionality of the headphones, they have a good range of motion and adjustment to fit a variety of head shapes and sizes. I cant say I was impressed by the quality of the sound, though. I honestly couldnt tell a difference between when I was wearing the headphones versus not. The only downsides to this product (no fault to the product itself) is now the Oculus doesnt fit in the standard case and the battery extender that I purchased extra doesnt fit all the way on the arm anymore as the arms on this KIWI headset arent as long. I cant imagine I will be using my battery extender if Im playing a game where Im up and moving around and it could go flying off my face. But again, thats just extra stuff that has nothing to do with this product, just a dang it thing.
