Does the job, came with a wide and narrow. Fitting the right size definitely improves your experience wearing the headset. But at nearly 60 it’s quite expensive for something that should really be included with the Meta Quest.
Also comes with silicone covers for both which is great! Over all would recommend if your headset isn’t quit fitting right.
Overal a very expensive cable but it is the longest i can find and its also great quality.
I’ve had no issues using it with my quest 2
First, given the numerous enquirers, I can confirm that the headset equipped with Elite headband does not fit in the original box. However, happy to confirm successful resolution by simply keeping it in a bigger box.
The weight of the rear battery, and head-hugging rubberised cup replacing a taught elastic strap, do wonders for comfort. This is important to eliminate distractions from growing discomfort over extended periods of operation – not to mention unabated enjoyment of TV shows, movies, and games.
The one quirk I discovered was that, with the rear battery and headset connected, with Oculus battery reporting 99% charge and strap battery 55% charge, the Oculus charging LED did not respond at-all to the connected charger. Furthermore, no LED on the strap to indicate charging. The only way I found to get the Oculus to show charging operation, with the Oculus fully powered down, was to disconnect and reconnect the battery link cable to the Oculus, which only then proceeded to indicate charging status of the combined batteries.
That said, given the exhorbitant price, a disappointing but minor gripe largely offset by the added comfort afforded by the Elite strap and extra battery life, with the added bonus that the 3D image actually appears considerably clearer as the headset rests squarer to the face and eyes.
Finally, if even greater battery life were required, I see no reason why the USB-C charging connector on the strap (conveniently at the rear and distanced frim the head) could not be connected to a more conventional 5V power pack offering port charging current in excess of 2A – largely because the charger that’s bundled with the Oculus-2 is nothing more than a 5V/2A mains adapter. I would however expressly avoid any charging source that is PD/QC (“Power Delivery/Quick Charge”) compliant, as such sources are able to negotiate and deliver higher voltages by design, which could destroy the internal Oculus charging regulator should an error/fault occur.
In-all a very worthy addition to the Oculus-2/Meta-Quest headset, and (price notwithstanding) a product I can warmly recommend.
This is definitely an improvement over the strap that comes with the headset. It’s easy to put on and is way more comfortable. The only issue is that because the elite strap is rigid unlike the original strap, it makes it difficult to store the headset without constantly taking it on and off
THE META QUEST 2 SOLID HEAD STRAP IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL BECAUSE IT HAS A SCREW TENTIONER THE V R DOESN’T MOVE.
Got this as a package deal and from my lad states it does make it more comfortable.
Very comfortable, a lot more comfortable than the normal oculus strap which you get given.
Overpriced for what it is and does, returned with the Quest 2 as not happy with it. Fine otherwise.
A must have. Even with the battery the strap is a must have. Absolute game changer compared to the original poxy strap the quest comes with.
It does exactly what I should do but a bit of padding on it would improve the experience
Great hard case for my quest, it fits the pro headset perfects and the controllers, I even took this on a flight with my in my suitcase and it protected it perfectly really grea
This strap is essential for anyone who uses a Quest 2. The battery doubles the time you can use the headset before it needs charging again. It is also much more comfortable and easier to adjust than the stock cloth strap. Time will tell as to how durable it is, but as of now it is highly recommended, if a little bit pricey.
Gotta get this if you like playing ur VR a lot. easy to adjust and Makes it way more comfortable when playing. Overpriced tho
This replacement for the standard strap is well made and easy to attach. If you can afford the elite strap with battery pack then buy that instead but for those of us a little strapped (no pun intended) for cash this is a must buy. It makes the Quest 2 more comfortable to wear for those long sessions of Beat Saber.
Headset (mine with elite strap) fits perfectly as you should expect ditto for charger and cable. Controllers I’m not so sure about. There does seem to be a special way to place them in but not convinced I get this right every time however they stay in place regardless. I returned my first one after receiving a flattened box and thinking it looked damaged (the lid did not look a good fit with the rest of the case). My next one looked exactly the same so I supposed that was what they should have looked like. Really overpriced for what it is but everyone seems to be following Apple’s lead on that!
A smart looking and sturdy hard case that easily fits the Oculus Quest 2 headset, Controllers and Charger. It is smaller than the original box and fits the headset neatly with or without the glasses extender.
I had the Quest 2 headset for a few days before ordering this and found the standard issued straps awkward to put on and take off with my glasses and it eould keep slipping no matter how much I played around with them but this is leaps and bounds better. I can only assume it is not included with the headset as a cost cutting thing
The elite strap makes using the quest 2 massively more comfortable, I’ve owned my quest for just over a year now (boxing day 2021) and I had never once played it long enough for the battery to go flat purely because it would get uncomfortable long before that. Now I’ve got the elite strap I wish I’d gotten it long ago at the same time as the headset itself, because it’s completely unbelievable the difference it makes, plus it’s much easier to adjust the fitting of this strap in my honest opinion.
The case looks very nice. Well made. Can’t compare to any other as it’s the only one I have. I have an elite strap (made by Kiwi) and the hand straps (threw them controllers too many times!) and it’s quite difficult to get the zip all around. It’s just a little fatter than the box. That said, it’s quite possible to stuff all the things they promise in.
4.5/5 since it costs 15-20 quids more than the competition.
I bought this more for the comfort of the strap rather than the battery (though the longer battery life makes a huge difference too). I have only had my Quest 2 a month or two but in that time I struggled to play for more than half an hour because of the throbbing headaches I’d get from having the headset strapped tightly to my face. With this elite strap, that issue has now gone. With the support at the back which moulds around your head and the dial to tighten or loosen the strap you can now easily have it sat snuggly around your head without being too tight, and no more headaches!
I would say that this should really be part of the base headset. It’s much sturdier than just the strap and the weight of it counterbalances the weight of the headset so it feels much less like it’s pulling down on the front of your face. It’s a little pricey for what it is but it does make a huge difference.
Same feedback as most others that this makes wearing the headset a lot more comfortable and more balanced, weight wise, on your head for a nicer gaming experience.
I’ve no idea how other people were snapping their headset arms as replacing the standard strap is a piece of cake and very simple to do.
Glad I got this despite the extra expense, it is worth it & I love the packaging so will keep it for putting bits & bobs in.
I managed to buy this on offer, but now having seen and touched it, it’s well-worth the full price.
Surprisingly compact and well designed, with even the zipper line being mostly hidden.
Extremely tough and rigid, but light and nice to the touch.
Inside it’s similar, with simple design and well crafted moulded rigid plastic. Everything sits well and holds the headset and controllers snuggly.
Perfect for the extra play time and feels just as good as the quest headset, not as convenient as cheaper headsets that can easily slip on and off without having to twist the rear control to release and tighten, this becomes an issue when other people use it, as it cups the back of the head, they risk breaking it by yanking it off, still best option for extra battery
When I first looked at this item the price seemed a bit steep! It was to accompany an Oculus as a Christmas gift. After already spending 400 on the Oculus itself I was slightly out off spending another 50.
However, spending that 50 was worth it as it’s was a great gift. The receiver was able to unpackage their Oculus and put it straight into this case.
It’s a high quality item and looks very classy. My only issue was I would of appreciated a picture of how the Oculus went into the case. I did have to Google it!
I’ve seen some criticism of the official elite strap but for me it’s been brilliant.
A much more comfortable fit than the original strap, quick and easy to tighten and pretty solid.
I’ve been using it for Months now and it’s still going strong.
Definitely an improvement on the standard strap and makes the weight distribution of the headset more even.
Easy to put on and take off as it has a dial to loosen the headset at the back. A small part of me still firmly believes this elite strap should have been part of the original headset, as its unfair to make consumers pay extra for a strap to fix the inadequacies and flaws of the original headse
I’m not going to lie and say I’ve tried loads of straps, I haven’t. I’ve tried the standard strap obviously and an add on that integrates with that strap to make it more comfortable at the back. I’ve also tried the Bobomvr (or whatever it’s called) halo strap. This Elite strap is by far the best one so far.
I went for the Bobo halo strap as the first total new strap as I’d heard it takes the pressure off your face. That was not the case for me at all. I found the cushioned pad at the back kept sliding up the back of my head and left the full weight of the VR unit on my cheeks.
The Elite strap is really easy to get on and adjust, takes about 5 seconds to get it right. It does not take the pressure totally off your face but it is significantly better than the others in terms of comfort. I have seen stuff about it cracking and breaking but, touch wood, it’s been fine so far. I’ve been very careful though about loosening the top head strap before untightening the main strap to ensure I’m not putting pressure on it.
It’s expensive for what it is but I’m very happy with it so far.
The strap which comes with it, although adequate was proving a bit annoying for the kids to adjust for their varying head sizes. This has solved all of that and its much comfier as well. Annoyed it took me so long to find out this even existed.
Easy to swap out, much better fit. Personally its a no brainer.
I wanted the case and the extended battery life which this package gave me. Battery life for the headset if easily over 3 hours and up to 4 most of the time now which means I don’t come to use it on an evening to find it dead as the kids have been having a go during the day.
The case is nice and compact and holds all the parts that matter.
I upgraded the strap from the non battery elite strap and the bonus I have found is, that although the battery adds weight, the weight of the battery balances the headset so it actually feels more comfortable on the head and the pressure on the face is much less. I find myself reaching to adjust the headset far less often.
The plastics it is made from is very cheap because mine as cracked after not a great deal of use! Beware you may have to replace sooner than you think! But comfort wise 4/5 can feel it after long sessions but helps take the weight of the headset of the face!
I wasn’t sure about spending so much on this strap but it seems well worth it, I no longer have to keep adjusting it to fit different heads and as I wear glasses it’s so much easier to put on and remove the headset. Just turn the dial at the back and tilt the headset upwards and it’s so easy to lift off.
I received my Oculus Quest 2 Elite Strap a few days ago and upon using it I’ve noticed that when it’s done up tightly and I unitighten it, it makes a loud pop noise which can get annoying.
It just feels as if the scroll wheel on the back is a bit loose.
Otherwise, it’s great.
This branded 5 metre (16.40 feet) of premium spiral shielding fibre-optic core link cable delivers exceptional performance for PC VR gaming on your Quest 2 whilst powering up the headset. It’s lightweight and highly flexible in comparison to many of the unbranded cables available, many of which also do not offer charging capabilities. I also found no channel impairments including attenuation, crosstalk, noise, irregular fluctuations, minimal signal loss and group velocity distortion with this cable.
With Oculus ‘O’ branded high-quality link cable and the Velcro hook and loop fastener, Quest 2 feels and acts like a proper tethered headset, like it was meant to be used this way. Your computer requires a USB-C port providing sufficient current and you’re going to need USB 3 — C adaptor (which is not included in the box) if you don’t have a USB-C port. This link cable came nicely packaged in an Oculus branded box, and email order information and service by Amazon was highly professional and premium delivery swift as ever.
So in conclusion, I feel this is an actual case of paying more for something, but in every sense getting what you paid for, offering blistering-fast data speeds while powering the headset at the same time, and being one of the longest USB-C 3 cables, therefore allowing you to move freely to every corner of your playing space. I’m therefore happy to submit this product review and recommendation to fellow would be purchasers.
A great improvement on the original strap but you shouldn’t have to spend the money on extras just to get the VR unit to site on your face in usable manner.
Great strength to this product feels nice and strong. Stays on and is very comfortable on the head
Highly recommended if you have a oculus quest 2. This is a must to have with i
This is a very good quality hard case for the occulus, and quite large, bigger than the largest MacBook Pro. You can fit the headset and 2 hand thingies in there. Obviously I didn’t buy it for me but a family member.
Not much to say by way of pro’s and con’s, it does what it needs to and does it very well at that.
The only thing wrong with the item is no free USB, They tell you to buy Oculus cable because the wire better and they couldn’t put a free USB in there. Not many computers have a USB-C . This is what you find on most computers – – HDMI x 1
– DisplayPort x 1
– DVI x 1
Being an Oculus genuine product I had little doubt that this cable would work but it is very expensive. It’s unlike most other cables out there in the sense that it contains a fibre optic inside for the data so it should make the cable much lighter. It’s a little thinner, lighter and more flexible than some of the other cables I own but you can’t tell there’s a fibre optic in there. You do need to be careful not to bend the cable too much though because that may damage the fibre optic inside.
One thing that to bear in mind is that this is a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable. Annoyingly Oculus do not provide a USB Type-C to USB A adapter with the cable which is actually outrageous at this price point! A lot of people’s front USB ports on their PC are USB A and not USB Type-C, I only have USB Type-C ports at the back of my PC which means losing a metre or so of cable. I had to buy a USB Type-C to USB A adapter (ASIN B083DS8GDH seems to work).
Being able to play PC VR games, such as Half-Life Alyx or Asguard’s Wrath on the Oculus Quest 2 is amazing but going back to the cable is a little immersion breaking. However, I have found using this cable to charge the Quest 2 whilst playing slow paced games like Walkabout Golf or Pro Putt works well and doesn’t interfere with the gaming experience too much.
One thing many users don’t know about is an application called Virtual Desktop which can be side loaded on the Quest 2 and allow you to play PC VR (i.e. Steam) games over 5Ghz Wireless to to your PC. I always suggest checking that out. There’s a bit of config to do and it’s not perfect but it’s definitely a step in the right direction for wireless PC VR gaming.
Pros:
– It feels decent quality
– Works well with Oculus Quest 2 and Oculus Link to PC and is more reliable than other cheaper cables I’ve tried
– Can be used to charge the headset whilst playing Quest 2 games
– Slightly thinner, lighter and more flexible than other cables
Cons:
– Expensive, like other Oculus Quest accessories
– No USB Type-C to USB A adapter supplied
While not as comfortable as PSVR’s halo strap, this is still a massive step up from the elasticated nylon OG strap. Ostensibly, it clamps the Quest 2 to one’s face, to provide an optimal VR viewing experience – if not always the most comfortable one. 50 is taking the proverbial, though! It should be included as standard to the absurdly cheap headset so one doesn’t feel like they’re being rinsed on accessories
I successfully managed to put my Quest 2, the controllers, the charging cable, the charger with EU power adapter and the official link cable into it.
The only negative thing I could say about this case is the zipper design, which can get stuck and it’s not that easy to open/close. But otherwise the case is really good and I’m really happy with it.
I got this as a carrying case for my sons oculas 2. Nice colour and quality. Does the job and it is good fit to put vr headset and controllers in. I’d like it to be able to fit headset/earphones in but there isnt space for this. Shame really as it’s a nice case and be good to keep it all together.
This is a good strap – but I found the cupping straps at the back to be a bit hard and they did cause discomfort. I fitted the rear strap padding available from VR Covers (Gauss Tech) that they produce for the original Quest.
The velcro fasteners are not ideally placed, but it stays in place just fine using just the bottom ones and the two together make the Quest 2 extremely comfy.
Pros….
Very well made sturdy but of kit.
Makes a huge difference to the vr experience on the quest 2.
Makes putting on and removing the headset a lot quicker and easier.
Should stay cleaner for longer and easier to clean unlike the standard strap.
Cons…
Over priced for what basically is a piece of plastic although be it adjustable. No expensive electical components inside, no different sizes or fitment to accommodate, no screens. Just a piece of plastic so no idea how they come to the price tag of 49 quid.
This is a good strap, all the reviews for the Quest 2 recommend you buy it and it does what the reviews say but at 1/6 of the price of the Quest 2 for what is just plastic and rubber, makes this seem a little expensive or the Quest 2 incredibly good value…… which we also know is.
The other issue is that the fan is working so hard the vibrations are traveling across the rigid elite strap and into my headphones. I get a constant hum from the fan vibrations.
They should of used a vapor chamber or a little bit of copper in the heatsink to reduce how hard the fan has to work. And stop the fan vibrations.
I’m so glad I did.
I find the Elite strap to be a significant improvement not only in comfort but stability as well. When I’m playing games like Beat Saber, Pistol Whip or Vader Immortal I move around alot, which made stability iffy sometimes, the Elite strap solves this entirely. Highly recommended.
