Meta Quest 2 Elite Strap With Battery

Product Information

In terms of the Elite Strap itself, we've rounded up several 3rd-party Elite Strap alternatives that are more affordable and oftentimes more comfortable than the official model. For those who aren’t fans of ABS plastic headset frames, Deskteks elite strap is a material and velcro design. Whilst this is a more breathable option, fitness users of Oculus Quest 2 may find the headset unsuitable for hygiene reasons. This is mostly due to the head straps absorbing sweat rather than resisting it for a user to sanitize after use. As for how much extra time the Elite Strap with Battery gives you, I found I would burn through it in about 2 to 2.5 hours, effectively doubling the life of the headset. It's a major boon for me, because my Quest 2 battery tends to die after about 90 minutes of gameplay. My new Strap lets me enjoy longer play sessions — at least until my cat starts getting in the way.

If you're unconcerned with battery life, you can choose the basic Elite Strap (or any of the excellent, cheaper third-party options). But the Battery gives it a natural balance, whereas the rest would make you attach an unwieldy power bank to your head or else accept seeing low power warnings after an hour or two.You can easily handle the extra weight; in fact, I'd argue it makes the Battery version a better design choice because you'll rely more on weight distribution than a tight knob to keep it firmly in place. The Quest 2 case (right) is bigger than the original Oculus Quest case (left) even though the Quest is smaller, because the Elite Strap makes it bigger. Oh well. Scott Stein/CNET This all started in this thread and I do not want to jump to conclusions. Just looking for more data. So far it is intriguing and multiple people with broken straps have reported that they do not have a serial number under their strap or box. Mine has been fine since launch and I have been using it for a couple hours daily. I have the SN under both the strap and box. Just looking to help out the community with more information! Thanks!

Oculus Quest 2 Head Strap, Elite Strap with Battery for Meta

Power banks have become part of everyday life for many. Users on long commutes and gamers on the go, using that handy USB-powered charging functionality when their handsets and Nintendo Switches are running low on juice. But who came up with such a great idea? Because the Elite Strap fastens the headset so firmly, you will want to choose a new face cover, assuming you don't already have one. A simple silicone cover will help keep your face cool (and more sanitary) compared to the default foam. But armed with that, you'll feel snug and safe using your headset compared to before.Having used the default Quest 2 strap for far too long, I can safely say the Elite Strap with Battery runs laps around the original in comfort and fit. That strap barely holds the headset in place unless you uncomfortably tighten the top strap, usually catching stray hairs in the process. The headset weight shifts sideways if you tilt your head and otherwise presses down on your nose by default.

Meanwhile, the included carrying case in this bundle is large enough to fit the entire headset with the Elite Strap, as well as the two Oculus Touch controllers and the charger. The large pill-shaped design is non-traditional for a gadget case, looking like light grey sweatpants and with a wool-like felt texture. The case can be a little awkward to unzip, but it’s functional and roomy enough to hold everything, even if it doesn’t look nearly as cool as what it holds. Adding the Elite Strap makes it much heavier to hold and less likely to fit inside a third-party case. But that applies to most strap upgrades, not just this one.We'll start with the elephant in the room: the Elite Strap can snap if tightened too much and may wear down over time. While Oculus claimed this issue affected a "very small percentage" of buyers, widespread reports across VR forums suggest the problem hasn't been solved, even for new buyers. The case holds the Elite Strap and battery when attached to the Quest 2, plus controllers and charger, all well separated with plastic barriers.
