Great head strap
I originally had the kiwi strap with no battery. I absolute loved it. I just wanted to go wire free. This is great, same comfort, easy to fit. Charges well and gives that added battery life. Prefer the design of the kiwi head straps over the original that come with the quest2. Such a better design and worth the money.

Much more comfortable than standard strap.
I bought this because I had 2 main problems with the Quest 2. I found it very uncomfortable to wear for more than 30 minutes, and the battery life only lasted around 2.5 hours.The Kiwi design battery strap has genuinely been game changing. The strap is much easier to adjust than the regular Meta strap. All adjustments are done via a velcro strap on the top, and a ratcheting wheel on the back. This makes it very easy to quickly readjust. The top strap and the rear interface are both padded with leather and are very soft, making them comfortable to wear even for a few hours. The strap also has a neat feature where you can flip up the VR headset. This is really useful for anyone who wears glasses in VR, as it allows you to flip the headset up out of the way, put on your glasses and then flip the headset down back over them.With regards to battery life, I played around 2.5 hours of VRChat, over Oculus Air Link using the Steam client version. When I stopped, the headset was still on 100% battery, and around half of the strap's battery pack had been depleted, so I'd estimate you get around 4 hours or so out of the strap alone (plus the normal 2.5 hours out of the headset). It's a huge increase in battery life and makes VR a much more convenient experience.The other benefit of having the battery strap is that it adds extra weight to the back of your head. With the Meta standard strap, all of the weight is over the front of your face, but the Kiwi design strap distributes this weight much more evenly, which again increases the comfort.The only downsides I can think of are very minor:- The headset won't fit in the Quest 2 box anymore, you can buy another box to solve this- The strap is definitely more bulky and does weigh more but I found I got used to this quickly- There doesn't seem to be a way of checking the strap battery once you're in VR (you can only see the headset battery).Overall though, while expensive this does make a huge difference to comfort and play time in VR and I'd really recommend it to anyone struggling with the standard Quest 2 strap.

Very comfortable, even for my huge noggin
This head strap and battery pack is highly adjustable and the charge last far longer than the battery in the Quest 2. It fits a childs head and my huge bonce (63cm diameter) so it's good for all the family. It's very comfortable compared to the original strap and gives a little more balance to the Quest 2 headset. The side seem a little thin on first inspection but they seem very robust when attached so no complaints at this point. Instructions are OK and it takes around 5 minutes to fit. Carefully remove the old strap, it's clipped in place and click this one on. Just be careful not to force anything, a light touch, not a heavy hand... This fits perfectly in the 20 quid Aubika made case for the Quest 2 shown in the attached photo. This is a highly recommended piece of kit

Works well. Easy to adjust.
I like the ease of adjustment and that it makes the headset simpler to put on and take off. Works well, with the Quest reporting 100% full after nearly two hours play, meaning there's still the normal playing time available. It's more comfortable than the basic strap, with better balance front and back. However, it is heavier to wear, which might be a factor if you have any neck issues etc.

Long lasting battery and comfortable
I just bought a Quest 2 a few weeks ago and wanted better battery life for long sessions on my headset. 2 hours on the headset battery just isn't long enough and I expect over time that the battery life will shorten. I easily get 4 hrs with this battery strap which is great and that is playing demanding games like 'Into the Radius'. I can get 5 hours out of it if I turn off the wifi on the headset for games that don't require an internet connection to play. The headset is very comfortable indeed, well padded, well made and so easy to adjust with the wheel on the back. It makes gaming that much more immersive as its so comfortable that you forget at times that you are wearing a headset, seriously the amount of times I have gone to rub my eye or scratch my nose and hit my headset. There are a lot of brands to choose from and I am so very glad I choose kiwi. I think this will certainly last as it feels very durable and well made. Definately recommend it. 5/5

Great addition for the quest 2
really comfortable to wear and the tilt action is great for when taking a break or wanting to view the outside world. battery helps to enjoy longer game playing too, win win.

Perfect Upgrade
Awesome bit of kit, was slightly put off by cost as other alternatives on the marker are cheaper but glad I went for it. Chose this one over the cheaper options based on others reviews.My wife occasionally wants to have a go on the Quest2 but found the constant adjustment of the 'stock' strap annoying and uncomfortable. This makes it super simple. The ratchet system for tightening really makes the fitting and swapping so much easier.Straightforward to install, took all of about 5mins to get it on.Fits very well, balances the weight so you don't get 'face ache'The extra padding on the top strap and rear makes it very comfortable to wear for extended use.The battery performs really well. Took around 3hrs to fully charge out of the box. After a 2hr Resident Evil sesh, the battery is about 1/2 drained and the headset is still 100% so I'd guess I would get about 6-7 hours of constant use before it's out of juice which is far more than I'll ever use in one sitting.Would happily recommend 👌

Should have came factory with this strap.
If you are still using the original strap, i highly recommend you get this strap. From day one when i got my Quest 2 headset the battery life was horrible. Since having the strap i have not run out of battery yet, i usually get bored or have other things to do prior to the battery being depleted .As for comfort it is night and day difference less strain on the head and plenty of support with easy adjustment.The quality of the plastic is also top notch and feels very sturdy. Almost identical to the plastic of the quest.I am really happy with my purchase and have no complaints. I had a couple questions and tech support was quick to respond.

Charge and comfort
I like how easy it was to install and set up, heard some reviews talking about it being complex or hard before and they definitely don't know what they are talking about. The comfort of the battery strap made me feel absolutely no discomfort or pain while playing for the hours that I did, complete game changer compared to the one provided by meta itself and I especially love how the headstrap can bend at an angle while you are using the oculus so you can quickly take it off or look at your surroundings a little easier while keeping the headstrap mostly on. And I especially love how long it is able to extend your battery life and I think it is the most optimal. For me, I just wanted a bit extra time and at the minimum now I will get 5 hours of play. And understandably, it takes longer to charge but that is how batteries work. Unless you want to fry it I would not recommend changing the voltage of your charger. Instead, continue to use the one provided or supported from meta itself.

Qu'elle confort !
Honnêtement, j'ai hésité à prendre un Elite Strap d'une autre marque que celle officielle du casque, à savoir Meta, mais punaise, quelle aurait été ma bêtise de prendre l'officiel ! Ce modèle est tellement confortable, et la batterie rallonge considérablement les sessions de jeu. En plus, la batterie alourdit l'arrière du casque, ce qui améliore l'équilibre général. Mon cou vous dit merci, Kiwi !
