Aubika Head Strap for Meta Quest 3, Battery Strap for Oculus Quest 3, with 8000mAh Battery for Extra 4-Hour Playtime
Comfy enough to wear for hours, loads of battery, super handy. Only note is don’t leave it connected to the headset and charge the strap. When the strap is charged and connected to the headset, it only takes 5v and a lower wattage. So your charging both device at the same time, but slowly. Unplug the strap from the headset, then charge it. It’ll charge at 12v with the full power (If you have a 12v pd charger, the original charger is 9v). If you can, also charge the headset with another charger to half the wait time.
TLDR, it can charge itself and your headset at the same time, just slowly. So charge them separately and not connected to each other to charge at the full speed. Other than charging itself, outputs the max the quest 3 can take, does a perfect job acting as a battery
Had the same strap for my Quest2 and was very pleased with it. In terms of cosmetic design and dimensions, this is exactly the same strap, so just as comfortable as the old was. Also able to keep up with the power drain of the Q3. I recently played using just eth Q3 internal battery until it hit 80%, then I switched the strap on, played for another hour or so, and when I finished the Q3 battery still showed 80%.
I was initially disappointed that it didn’t appear to allow charging the headset when the strap was charging from the mains though, as the Q2 strap did. When strap plugged in and charging starts, the headset shows orange charging light for approx 10 seconds then goes out. Was on the verge of returning it to Amazon, but contacted Aubika support first who provided the answer. Apparently some safety feature built into the new straps which the old had.
Explained badly (well, not really explained at all!) in the provided user guide, but the strap button requires a second well timed button press to charge headset whilst strap is charging.
– Ensure Q3 headset powered off (not just on standby)
– Plug charger into strap
– When strap starts charging, orange light on headset will show for a few seconds.
– Press the strap power button once WHILST THAT ORANGE LIGHT IS ON. This will enable passthrough charging in the strap, and orange light will now remain on until headset charged and goes green.
Tested and working, happy and glad that I didn’t have to return this as it seems few headsets have batteries with can keep up with the demands of the Q3.
After hours looking online for a good headstrap with battery comparing others that keeps the meta quest 3 charged whilst useing it, i took a chance on this one with just over half the price of a meta one it is perfect very comfy easy to attach to the quest 3, i was scepitcal that it wouldnt hold the quest 3 at full battery but it did even after a couple of hours of gaming and battery on the strap still on 2 bars/lights showing i would definately recommend this headstrap
Great product but the rear brace could use some padding — I’m also surprised they haven’t released/provided any facial interface padding also.
Otherwise a great product and still worth the money.
This is a great strap. It is quite comfortable to wear once you get the hang of how to adjust it.
The build feels solid.
The battery charges the meta quest 3 whilst it is in use and can keep it powered up for a few hours extra.
Easy to assemble. Feels very solid, and looks premium. More comfortable than the standard strap, and easy to adjust. Extra weight of the battery obviously is a negative, but balanced by giving you basically double playing time. The battery charges at 18w, and charges the headset at 20w. Quest 3 stays at 100% charge until the external battery is flat. I’m partially deaf so cannot comment on any buzzing reported by other users.
I ordered one of these when it first came on Amazon and like others I experienced the interference with the speakers. I reached out to aubika and their customer service wasn’t great, but they said the issue was only with the first batch. So when it came back in stock I sent my one back and ordered another one. I’m pleased to say this one perfect, no interference at all. Really great head strap, comfortable and a massive battery. And the same price as the meta strap without a battery!
