What a great help. I’m 79 years old and the type on the little booklet was way too small. Also, I was afraid to force any of the pieces apart for fear of breaking them. Your calm, unhurried explanation was the best I’ve ever heard, and it made it all make sense for me. By the way, this is an outstanding product. Thanks you so much.
Thank you so much for simple, clear instruction and demonstration. I was lost trying to follow the written instructions but with your help, set it up first time which is not the usual case with me.
Thank u so very much for being so thorough. This was the 3rd video I watched to be able to install a new headset bc no one else tells u to remove the face piece attached before installing the strap. Thanks again!
Just bought my vr couple days ago and already I'm feeling very uncomfortable with the factory strap. Just bought mines today at Amazon and thanks to this video, I can't wait to try it on after I get home from work!
Really helpful video, thanks. I haven't had my quest long and had no idea how the original strap came off. I watched another review video and the guy just went straight to the original strap off before fitting the new headstrap. Big thumbs up from me
Thx for the video. I´m always scare of breaking things. Now my question why everybody I see with that red microphone has such good audio but mine dont xD
I totally agree. This is important. I can't tell you how many times I needed to check the phone or door and I needed this to stay on top of my head. 👨🎤
Just now got mine (vr getting better by now). Really enjoyed the play by play on how exactly to remove and replace the straps. Saved me from breaking my stuff 😅. Thanks!
Amazing video! You made it so much more simple as the instructions were mad confusing. I do have a question, do you think this if for older ages, younger ages or will fit nicely for both!
I enjoy doing the deed so not a problem my friend. 🙂🤝 An honor to be at your service! You're welcome and I appreciate you stopping by and dropping a comment. 🫡
It's one of the best ones I've tried so far. I think it's important it feels that way so it feels more of natural experience if we are going to improve the VR experience. 🙂
Hi Thegrey1! I can't tell you how much that means because so much work goes into each of these videos and I'm always working to improve. I truly appreciate you stopping by and giving that kind feedback. It means the world to me. ☺️
Hello! This video is super helpful! i just have one question: does the headset, with this strap on, fit well into an average quest 2 carrying case, or would it need a special case to fit in right
No need for destruction around here. Another piece of hardware saved! 🦸♂️ Unfortunately I don't have those earbuds, but I'm looking to cover more VR content soon. 🙂
Hi crystalfire444, I haven't been able to try this out personally, only because I wear contacts, but I definitely understand the situation. Normally a eyeglass spacer ships with the Quest 2. However, another option is installing prescription lenses on your headset so you don't have to fumble with glasses. These lenses seem to range in price from $50-$150, but it's another possiblity. Hope this gives some ideas. Thanks for stopping by and asking your question. :)
Hello! Yesterday I bought an elite strap from uniplay. I have a question - when I connect the power bank to the oculus, should the charging light on the oculus turn on? I don't have it on
I just bought it and used it and im definitely returning it, its super uncomfortable and extremely hard to adjust the top, disappointed with kiwi design
I just got quest 2 a few days ago. My biggest complaint is the huge heaviness on the front of the headset. I can't wear it for more than 15 minutes, due to the discomfort on my nose and cheek bones. Does this reduce the face weight?
You should try to let the weight be carried by the head strap on top rather than tightening it to your face that much. That way you can wear it longer even with the stock strap. Still this strap feels more comfortable of course.
Thanks for this video man, was super helpful!! I’m actually on the fence with the purchase so this swung me the right way!! How’s the pressure points on the actual headset? Does it feel quite balanced around your face? Cheers man!!
Only tip I can say is take your time. This hardware is actually pretty durable though it feels like it might break when taking it a part. I've done it several times to try other headsets with no issues. 🙂👌

I don’t know if I just have a big head or what, but this thing just doesn’t stay on my head. when I do adjust the headset to fit me properly the quest is way too high and is blurry and I can’t see properly. saw so many reviews saying this is an upgrade, but for me it’s just a plastic piece of garbage. can someone help me find something good? price is not an issue
And to answer your second question, since most of the weight is in the front, it will feel front heavy. But I think it is to be expected. But this straps does a good job of being supportive. 🙂
I just recently saw so my people break there necks/fracturing them bc the original straps on the meta quest don't have any support. So I think it's worth it, just in case

Thank you from Japan. Without your support, i might not have got it done.
You're welcome. It's an honor to speak with someone from Japan! That's so cool. 🙏😌
The beauty of the battery pack is that it acts as a counter balance to the weight of the unit.nice vid

Hi NoahLee,
It has fit in the few cases I've tried with no issues. 🙂
How do I take my original side straps out to put the kiwi in?
Yes
So incredibly helpful--thorough and to the point! Can you fix my whole life with You Tube videos, please?
😅
Thanks Mo Bradley. First I'll have to find a way to clone myself. I have so many ideas but not enough time to do them 🙂
Thank you for this I was about to destroy the thing. I doubt see a headphone input on the right side so how do I connect my official quest earbuds,
No need for destruction around here. Another piece of hardware saved! 🦸♂️ Unfortunately I don't have those earbuds, but I'm looking to cover more VR content soon. 🙂
Would you say that this is more comfortable than the meta elite strap?
Most certainly! 🫡

Thanks for watching. I appreciate your thoughts and I think this is a valid point for some I can consider in future content. 🙂
Thanks I'm going to start saving up for one only question is what little carry case do you recommend I get for this
Hi!
I tried this one recently, and liked it!

It doubles as a small backpack and looks great. 🙂
I just got quest 2 a few days ago. My biggest complaint is the huge heaviness on the front of the headset. I can't wear it for more than 15 minutes, due to the discomfort on my nose and cheek bones.
Does this reduce the face weight?
I wouldn't say it reduces the weight, but it is a more comfortable strap, which may help. 🙂
The BOBOVR M2 is better if you want to reduce face weight
Lol you must have a big nose because my nose doesn't even touch the headset
You should try to let the weight be carried by the head strap on top rather than tightening it to your face that much. That way you can wear it longer even with the stock strap. Still this strap feels more comfortable of course.
Well done mate. Brilliant video

Hi Ocital,
Personally, I think it's a good upgrade. 🙂

Definitely an upgrade not a downgrade.
