I have the quest 2 kiwi strap and its great. I ordered the quest 3 strap from Kiwi, it take one a month to get here as it comes from china. Great price though
I got a quest 3 conversion kit for my kiwi quest 2 battery strap, and even though the battery isn't built for the quest 3, it still keeps my quest 3 alive much longer.
The botton line with head straps is that you need a similar design to what Bobo does (doesn't need to be from them, there are some others that do similar designs), that shifts the weight up and back on your head. These designs like Kiwi, you will always have your face sanduiched against the facial interface and the back of your head, putting stress on your face with the facial interface, and that will always be uncomfortable, doesn't matter how much padding it has and where. That Bobo design, is similar to what Sony used with the Psvr2, but better, because it attaches to the headset at the side and more to the middle of the strap and up on the head, which then sanduiches the front-top of your head to the back of it, and on my 10 days or so of experience with it, it basically balances the weight, so you don't even have to have the Quest touching your face, so it makes for supreme comfort really. All these other designs that sanduich your face against the facial interface cause disconfort to some degree, depending on how sensitive you are to that of course, but they all cause discomfort nonetheless. Yes, the bobo (and many others), do not have a battery that is good for the Quest 3, since they are all using (on their rush to sell...) old batteries from their Quest 2 products, but you will do better anyways with a decent bigger power bank of quality attached to your waist anyways (that's what I do), comfort is what will matter with these, in fact I wish they sold these things cheaper and without any battery shenanigan, but it is what its. Just my 2 cents :) Cheers all.
Some people also prefer these straps when doing exercise or playing games which require a lot of movement. Halo type straps are not suitable, or comfortable enough, for exercise. Obviously individual mileage may vary.
Different people prefer different strap types for different types of games. With a proper counterweight and a good facial interface, these elite style straps can be very comfortable. People have said when looking up or down, the halo type straps can shift around more.
This was so long of a comment- just say you prefer halo straps lmfao. Its a preference thing one isnt better than the other, theyre incomparable because they strive at different things. Halo is great for relaxing play, elite is better for alot of movement.
Thank you for the review. We are ordering both products. The head strap has been the biggest problem since we started using Meta Quest 3 on Christmas day.
I don't see SPC in the description. I went to your Amazon storefront and added the items to my cart from there. I only see one head strap by that specific brand. Is that correct?
I have the Meta Elite strap (non-battery version) and it just feels like the strap that goes over the top of my head is not really doing much in the way of supporting the headset itself and I'm still having to tighten the headset against my face a bit too much to make it secure. Does this strap provide more support on top to allow the headset to be more "free hanging" in front of the face?
Just tried this strap, and honestly, it's not much better than the stock one. I still feel the weight on my cheeks, and it needs to smash the headset into your face. I think I'm going to try a halo, and if that doesn't work, the Quest is getting returned. Would not recommend this Kiwi since it's just like any other "elite" style strap.
I would love to see ur gameplay of saint and sinners 1 and 2. Mybe u can open gaming channel or just upload to your channel and atract new people to subscibe. We all want to know should we buy quest 3 or psvr2.
given the battery life issues I would not buy any strap that did not either have a battery or was good for attaching 3rd party power banks to and I dont care if the attachment uses rubber bands. Also it would be nice if the strap could allow use of the headset without the facial interface to get he max field of view but still being comfortable and not affecting clarity or touching the lenses. Let me know how well this strap works with attaching a powerbank and using without facial interface please.

The conversion packs are sold out. I was told by Kiwi support that they are not re-stocking them :(
Hi, do you know which case would fit the Quest 3 with the Kiwi Design battery strap?
I got a quest 3 conversion kit for my kiwi quest 2 battery strap, and even though the battery isn't built for the quest 3, it still keeps my quest 3 alive much longer.
Can you use the USB port on the strap as a data port? Like e.g. on 4xvr to play a movie from an external drive?

@@123cez123I use a halo style strap with an exercise app (Les Mills Bodycombat) and it's fine

goo gone cleaner is perfect for removing paints or marks from hitting the controllers on things, i tried isopropyl alcohol and it doesnt work
Vert interested in the battery pack version of the headstrap.
Wrong Amazon link?
Personally waiting for a battery+audio strap (also hoping they improve the audio quality compared to the quest 2 audio strap).
My black strap wont feed through. So annoying why isnt it flatter. Definitely returning.
i had the quest 2 version and never looked back just order new battery version hope it is not too heavy

Make sure you order the SPC headstrap!!
It’s in the description!

@paulcanfield7745 yes sorry I thought your comment was on the battery strap video 😂 my bad
holy quit trying to take all this guys money
I wanted to buy the controller grips but they are only available in the black color. so nah.
Can't seem to find the conversion kit for it..
Does the Kiwi Battery Headstrap also gives the buzzing sound when charging?
no, apparently this was a software issue with the headset that is now solved
You get the battery one yet?
I got a no name band for 14 pound and its the best one i have had
Tell me more
Link?
@@liquid79 no name, no link

@@TheExtraTerrestrial - That's too bad. :( I've heard the halo-type straps are pretty comfortable, so I hope you have better luck with one of those.

Good content keep it up
But can you wear over-ear headphones with them? It doesn't look like you can.
you can I wear hyper x cloud 3’s wireless with them
Sorry but the GO TO is the Elite Strap. I tried Kiwi on Quest 2 and I always go back to Elite Strap.
Interesting. I've heard so much hate for the elite strap
@@knowingbadgeryea, I heard they break because they use hard plastic on the sides that is brittle.

If thats what you want get a halo design
These grips block IR leds on the top. Also, Bobo M3 Mini looks more interesting.
I can confirm. Had to Trim the excess material with scissors to make them usable :V
What grips
@@zenthous9568 the ones from the video @ 6:22
thats a shame, i wanted to get them so bad :(
Never had an issue with these grips tbh
Shorter…. Please some parts of review must be shorter and some more.
