Meta Quest 2 Elite Strap With Battery

Product Information

Is Facebook’s most expensive Quest 2 strap also its best? Find out in our Oculus Quest 2 Elite Battery Strap review! Obviously the big addition here is the battery extender unit. The battery itself is housed in the rear compartment of the strap, alongside the dial to fit to your head. Then a short USB Type-C cable threads along the left of the strap, running up to reach the charging port in the side of the Quest 2. You can charge the strap and the headset via another USB Type-C port just under the dial. From what I could gather, the Elite Battery Strap must be plugged into the Quest 2 to charge itself, and the headset’s charging indicator light will signal when both are at maximum capacity. Plugging in two USB cables to the Quest and the strap itself will only charge the former. Impressively, Quest 2 recognizes the battery extender when plugged in and lists separate gauges for both its battery and the core headset’s charge. The added weight included in the Elite Battery Strap (319g compared to the Elite Straps’ 173g) also comes with an appreciated side-effect. The heavier strap offers a nice counterbalance to the front of the Quest 2, helping to alleviate the pressure on your face just a little more than even what’s seen in the normal Elite Strap. The result is the most comfortable of all the accessories Facebook offers for Quest 2. META QUEST IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE https://www.oculus.com/quest-2/removable-facial-interface-alert.

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?Pisen, a Chinese technology firm revealed the first usable power bank in 2001 at the Las Vegas International Consumer Electronics Show. It was requested by an Antarctic Expedition Team who needed a portable charger for their video cameras and other tech. 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. There seems to be an interesting correlation with people that have faulty Elite straps that do not have a serial number underneath the left strap or at the bottom of the box it came in. Here is what mine has underneath the left and right strap.

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!

Point being that, if comfort is your primary concern, you might see better and cheaper alternatives in the future. I still say that halo strap designs — seen on the PSVR and Rift S — are the most comfortable VR designs, placing weight on your forehead rather than your face. None of Facebook’s comfort options do this and I’ll be first-in-line to try out any mods that do. 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. It definitely makes Quest 2 a much more expensive proposition overall, so you might want to buy the headset first and see what mileage you get out of it but, if you’re already committed to standalone VR gaming, the Oculus Quest 2 Elite Battery Strap is a great add-on.
