KIWI design Comfort Battery Head Strap Compatible with Meta Quest 3, Battery Strap Extend Playtime

There are so many choices when you search for a replacement head strap for the Quest 3, the stock strap is quite uncomfortable and i found myself constantly adjusting it, also quite painful after about 30 mins or so. The packaging of this product feels premium, very apple like, the quality feels great straight away. Setting up the strap was very simple, only took a few mins, once attached, my first thought was, why Meta didn’t provide a strap like this, it looks really nice and is a perfect match for the Quest, the colours are spot on. I have worn this headset with the Kiwi strap for a few hours now, so early days, it is incredibly comfortable, initially when i ordered this i was a little concerned how the weight would be with the attached battery, to be honest it feels even lighter than before, it’s very well balanced. The attached battery lasts a long time, after an hour or so i still had 1 bar left plus a full charge on the Quest which is great. Only minor critisism / feature request would be for an on / off switch at the back to disconnect the battery from the headset, maybe i am doing something wrong here, but if left plugged in to the headset, with the headset off, the battery is depleting. A very easy and well deserved 5 stars for this product

Super comfortable and much easier to adjust to different head sizes than the stock straps. Easy to tighten or loosen, the rear padding makes it much easier to wear for long times, especially since it has the extra battery to extend use times. If you have a quest 3, you need one of these.

Glorious quality, much much much higher than paid for. Should cost 500, if anything.

Quest 3's quickly drains the battery in it, almost like less than an hour, so this upgrade is a must-have. Strap is super comfy, and the external battery is such a boon. You can get about 3 hours of playtime from it. Can't recommend enough if you have a Quest 3.

Worth the but and makes everything so much more comfortable

Highly recommended

I'm pretty disappointed by the battery life on this thing, you're better off just getting a higher capacity power bank. However the comfort and convenience of the straps are a must have if you had the stock options.

extended battery is a must

I tried a couple of others, sent them back and finally got this one. It adds a solid 2+ hrs of gameplay using 80% brightness AND AR passthrough on the Quest 3, and over 3hrs of gameplay with 50% brightness and no AR passthrough. (Tested on Synthriders). The quality is excellent, it's not too heavy, even the packaging was of surprisingly good quality. From the moment I opened the box I had a feeling this was a much better item than the others I'd used. It is comfortable, doesn't fall off during vigorous gameplay, and is adjustable using the strap on a tightening wheel on the back for quick tightening and release. It came pre-charged at around 70%, which all lithium batteries should. A few other brands I bought came empty or less than 10%, which indicates poor battery quality or poor storage. I would definitely recommend this add on for the quest 3.

Ich war auf der Suche nach einer Möglichkeit, mein VR-Erlebnis mit dem Meta Quest 3 zu verbessern, und der KIWI design Elite Strap mit Akku 6400mAh hat alle meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Dieses Zubehör ist ein wahrer Gamechanger für lange Spiel-Sessions, da die eingebauten Batterien in Industriequalität die Spielzeit tatsächlich um 2-4 Stunden – je nach Belastung – verlängern. Es ist beeindruckend, wie viel länger ich jetzt in die virtuelle Realität eintauchen kann, ohne mir Sorgen um die Akkulaufzeit machen zu müssen. Neben der verlängerten Spielzeit bietet der KIWI Elite Strap einen luxuriösen Tragekomfort, der seinesgleichen sucht. Die weichen, dicken Polster auf der Ober- und Rückseite zusammen mit dem perfekt ausbalancierten Akkupack und dem ergonomischen Design sorgen dafür, dass ich auch in längeren Sessions keinen unangenehmen Druck auf meinem Kopf spüre. Die Polsterung aus Formgedächtnis-Schaumstoff ist nicht nur extrem bequem, sondern auch sehr leicht zu reinigen – ein echter Pluspunkt für mich. Der vergrößerte Kopfbügel passt sich zudem problemlos an verschiedenste Kopfgrößen an und erleichtert das Tragen des Helms über längere Zeiträume erheblich. Dass der KIWI Elite Strap zudem mit einer zertifizierten, sicheren und langlebigen 6400mAh Batterie ausgestattet ist und der Gurt umweltfreundlich und robust gestaltet wurde, gibt mir zusätzliches Vertrauen in dieses Produkt. Es ist klar, dass bei diesem Elite Strap sowohl Sicherheit als auch Komfort großgeschrieben werden. Es mag zwar nicht mit dem vertikalen RGB-Ladeständer kompatibel sein, aber dies tut der hervorragenden Gesamtleistung keinen Abbruch. Fünf Sterne und eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung für jeden Meta Quest 3-Besitzer!

When I purchased this headstrap and battery combo I was looking to improve on the original Quest 3 comfort. I looked around online for a decent headstrap and kept finding people were getting better results when a battery pack was helping distribute the weight from the overly front heavy HMD. I saw that this product by Kiwi had lots of good reviews and for the price, decided to give them a chance. I must say, I don't regret it at all! It in fact has been a great little addition to the Quest 3. I'm writing this review over 1 year after purchase, and I can't stress I am very pleased with it. Fits great for me, makes the HMD better balanced which improves stability. Not to mention it was at a great price when compared to Meta's version. The head strap has a padded area that helps with improving fit and comfort, as well as at the back of the head. Over a year now with it and it still providing extended times. I'm not a heavy user though and never took the time to track how much additional time it gives, but it is much more than the standard headset provides. I know that much because I've been in situations where I learned the hard way about the Quest 3 desire to stay on despite shutting it down which left me only the HMD's internal battery to use. That, did not last long the times I've used it as such. So I was surprised on several occasions when I picked up my Quest 3 and saw the HMD was running on its own internal battery. The Kiwi battery was discharged. I found it weird because I left it fully charged over night before unplugging the Kiwi battery from the wall charger. Little did I know that what happened was that the HMD after being shutdown, continues to operate a state of charge indicater, while it remains plugged to a power source. That is, because the battery was plugged to the HMD (the Quest 3), the HMD considered it a regular charger and continued to run the face sensors and battery SoC sensors. If you activated the sensor by using a cover on the lenses you would even activate the display. My thoughts are that the designers realized they have no external way of showing SoC of the battery on the Quest 3. So they decided it would just turn on the screen to show you the SoC of the battery. The point is, because the battery was plugged into the HMD the HMD did not fully shutdown draining the battery. Once I found out about that I began unplugging the battery from the HMD when I was done. Which pretty much solved that issue instantly. That is by far not a problem from this product but rather a behavior of the Quest itself. Now, again, I'm not the most verse individual with the Quest 3 but I know a thing or two, so I'm almost ashamed to admit I didn't really learn thoroughly my Quest 3. It took me forever to learn about the facial interface and how it can be adjusted for things like wearing glasses. I had a period of use with this headstrap and battery where I still felt as if the weight was heavy on my face. Almost like I wasn't getting even distribution. I felt the pressure most on my nose. I adjusted the distance between the eyes several times to see if I was just pinching it. Well, when I finally found out about the facial interface adjustments I immediately felt the results. No more pinched nose and the weight seemed to lift off my face. Before, using the original straps, the headset felt when loose like it would slide down my face and when tightened it felt like it would pop off over my head. With this, the headstrap feels well placed on my head and doesn't feel like it would either fall or pop off. I highly recommend it for anyone with a Quest 3 (I can't speak for any other Quest, I only own the 3).

Ce module pour casque VR est vraiment sympa il rajoute de l'autonomie et du confort!!!
