One year later and people (like me) still come to this video to make the quest 2 the best it can be. The funniest part is a quest 2 with the first three accessories cost less that a quest three :)
I love my OG Kiwi Elite Strap. Bought on launch and used all of the time since. Unfortunately, the flimsy plastic parts have gotten sun-bleached, so its kinda odd looking now. It still works amazingly, though! I have to admit, though, if I ever buy another strap, it will either be Aubika or BoboVR. The Kiwi Design strap is very bulky compared to them, and honestly, it doesn't add many features.
BoboVR M1 Pro Headstrap w/ detachable magnetic battery. Can go for around 3-6 hours depending on what you’re doing with a single battery. AMVR Wrist Straps. And a bath mat placed at the center of your play space to pivot off of; or upgrade to a more official one. It improves the comfort and decreases stress on your feet if you play often.
The kawi strap is great but I didn't want the battery on the back so I used weights on the back which made even more comfortable I mean a noticeable difference
i use the kiwi extended grips when playing beat saber and let me tell you, you just want to change your grip ! i use an adapted x-grip and i also changed my controllers positions in game settings. and for those of you who would think that it's impossible to use on fast songs i'm currently playing 10 block per seconds maps so ...
Alternative to the kiwi battery strap is the kiwi external battery holder and your choice of external battery. Allows for extra batteries if you plan to play for, frankly, way too long. It also goes above the kiwi elite strap adjuster so it shifts the weight slightly off the back of head. Also makes the battery removeable so you can have a lighter setup.
This is my setup! I've had it for a long time now, and it still works really well. The 10k mAh battery I have acts as a countweight and heavily extends my play time.
My personal tier of importance: 0) prescription lenses (to be able to fucking see) 1) Face cover replacement 2) Head strap replacement (preferably one that include a battery mount or battery included set) 3) Controller straps 4) Rechargeable batteries
The bobovr m1 plus is the same thing as the kiwi design head strap, but you can hot-swap batteries and buy more later if needed. It's better bc it a little bit cheaper.
@@DiamondDepthYT Thats the one I've had for almost a year now and I can tell you its worth every penny, I've had 6 - 8 hour play sessions at a time and the head strap has managed to keep me comfortable the whole freaking time. I highly recommend!
6:01 - I just went to watch the interview with Felix and he says he thinks having a counter-weight (like a battery pack) would actually have helped *prevent* his injury.
i got a quest 2 for christmas (crazy, i know) and just yesterday bought a $30 replacement headstrap on amazon. and wow, i didnt know how awful the stock headstrap was until i swapped it out, and its totally worth the extra money to replace
My personal quest 2 accesories are: kiwi design deluxe audio strap, kiwi extended grips, vr cover ring protectors, studio form index counterweight,vr wave anti glare and blue light filter lenses with extra magnets, kiwi design interface, vr cover dark blue facial cushion, I know it’s a lot and putting all the prices together it’s around 300 bucks 💰
can i just say that i really am glad that you are here if it wasent for you i wouldent me on my quest two thx so much for being here you are so funny and im so glad that your here on youtube
I somehow managed to get a used elite strap with the quest and it's alright. only broken 2 times within the 3 weeks I've had it(no this is not a joke), and only given me one or two migraines as well(might be a joke not entirely sure what I migraine is). But for free it's pretty good, and the extra battery included is nice as well
i have the kiwi face pad and it leave me lookin like even more of a tomato then stock one lol i think i prolly should have gotten a fabric one rather then fake leather
Nice list. I already have #1, 2, & 3. I haven't found a need for #4 yet. #5, I prefer my studio headphones over pretty much anything else. But I'm a little bit of an audio fidelity nerd.
I love the BoboVR headstrap. The headstrap is very comfortable and I just have two batteries that are perfect! They also work great as portable power banks for my phone
someone at my school has a vrcover faceplate and index-like straps for his controllers but still uses the base headstrap after two years. he disgusts me and is also a furry, those two things are unrelated
Welp, with my cheap chinese knockoff grips falling apart and held together by a bobby pin. I pulled the trigger and bought some kiwi grips (in blue) that should get here in 3 or so days. Thanks Hip for the review
just got a haircut after getting the quest for christmas and yea, it's bad also love your videos and the fact that you seem like a human, like you make jokes and shit and aren't boring like other vrtubers
The kiwi elite headstrap is good yes I own it way better than the elite headstrap but over time can be uncomfortable by basicly glueing the headset to your face but the bobo vr headstrap would let you and it is my daily driver because of that reason as well as you can also where headphones way easier
I agree. I don't own a BoboVR strap yet, but it will be my next go-to. My Kiwi elite strap is much better than stock but still puts a lot of pressure on my face.
If you're looking for a headset, I cannot recommend the Steelseries Arctis nova 7 enough. It's a good bit cheaper than the nova pro, but still has almost all of the functionality you could want. It's a wireless headset that comfortably fits over the quest 2 headstrap. It has a usb C dongle and bluetooth, which you can use simultaneously to connect the headphones to two devices. I have the dongle in my PC while connecting to the Quest 2 via bluetooth, meaning I can hear the quest audio and my PC audio at the same time. Great if you want to use discord or something while playing in VR. You could instead plug the USB C dongle directly into the quest 2 if you can't be bothered setting up bluetooth. This headset is by far one of the best headsets I've ever used, it's my daily headset for use with my PC but I also use it for VR, for listenning to music from my phone while doing chores, or for connecting to the TV when my girlfriend is trying to sleep.
I had the arctis pro wireless a while ago and the headstrap design was awful. The elastic band would stretch over time which meant I'd have to adjust it a lot. Also the headband had a design flaw where it actually connected to the earcups which meant it would break on it's own after a while. I know they fixed the elastic band issue with the nova series but I don't know if they fixed the design flaw with the headband which just completely stopped me from wanting to buy it at all. Before it broke though I loved the headset it had so many features and the battery system was amazing for a wireless headset.
@@GrrumpyPants Possibly, I know for sure it wasn't just me though because back when the arctis pro wireless was their top end headset the steelseries subreddit was filled with posts about broken headsets and they pretty much all broke in exactly the same way. A real shame to be honest because I'd still have that headset today if it still worked, I loved it.
@@NicksKnives. sounds strangely similar to the quest 2 elite straps all breaking in the same way haha. Definitely must have been a design flaw there, but the nova series headsets are different enough in their design that I wouldn't expect it to carry over.
if you have small bluetooth earbuds you like those ive found have been the most comfortable option. i also have an extended battery pack i mostly use for the counterweight or when i play onward lol i do have the kiwi controller grips and some random silicon foam cover that has better nose light leak blockage. a part of the kit that isnt on the vr is the carrying case i got
i wore the default headstrap constantly for a straight year and it started to give me a bald spot ont he middle strap part, unless you are bald and numb on the back of your head dont use it
Recommendation - BoboVR A2 They recently released their own audio solution, and it supports every 3rd party headstrap. It also consists with really great quality, and goes for 70$ and doesn’t have the same issues as Logitech’s overly priced Chorus audio solution.
Still love these Vids. Funny enough with my own homework. I use simple 3.5m earbuds. low volume. got the kiwi head strap NO BATTERY, and added a face fan. with a strap for the back on a small portable battery charger. that i mostly never use. oh, and quest link with retractable ceiling mount wire holders for half lyfe
I really regret buying the Kiwi Audio strap, same audio quality as the stock speaker, and now that I have good headphones, they can't fit on the headset because the kiwi ones aren't removable, it is more comfortable than the elite strap so I can't go back to that, also, I have long hair, so whenever I take the headset off it gets tangled in the headphones, nightmare.
My Must have When I ordered mine Without anything then swiftly ordered what I needed I ended up getting a Strap from Kiwi design (non battery one) for 38-48 bucks Well worth it If you plan on using a Quest link cable and don't have to worry about Battery life If you care about battery life Buy the 79-99 dollar one with a battery. Anyways that strap made the Vr from only usable for 30 mins to Can sit and drift on AC for 5 hours strait and feel great after 9.5/10 Also ended up buying a Fake quest link cable then the 79 dollar one Save and get the name brand one or get a reputable brand that is actually 5GBS speed Very important for smoother video Compared to a fake one. So far The Kiwi elite strap And the quest Link cable. I also picked up a Silicone protector from Kiwi design I chose to buy a bundled one for 29 bucks(idk regular price) but it came with a headset cover Lens cover Controller grips and straps and this is well well worth it as it isn't adhesive so it don't hurt Resale I highly recommend buying these items to begin. The prices and items are as listed , Quest 2 Link Cable - Virtual Reality Headset Cable for Quest 2 and Quest - 16FT (5M) - PC VR 79$(not on sale) , KIWI design Comfort Head Strap Accessories Compatible with Quest 2, Elite Strap Replacement for Enhanced Support 49$(39 on sale) , KIWI design VR Accessories Bundle Compatible with Quest 2 Accessories, 3 in 1 Set Controller Grips Cover, Face Cover with Lens Cover VR Shell Cover, VR Accessories Protection 29$ (27 on sale) THESE are the only 3 things I purchased and This is my reason for getting what I got I snagged the cable as I have a PC so I planned on connecting it for better performance I went with a wired way to play as I don't have room for a play area I sit and play or stand in legit a 2×3 area and I cannot fully extend my arms in a circle For this reason I went with the quest Link cable and I have Zero use currently for a battery pack If you plan on playing without being tethered Get the 79 dollar Battery 6400MH from Kiwi like stated in the video. I got the Kiwi headset straps as it looked and was and is comfortable as he'll I'm not sure there's anything better for the price and worth the risk This has been proven to work great. I got the silicon covers as Mentioned before I play in a area I cannot extend fully I tap into stuff often due to this when I get really immersed in my game and don't realize I'm not where I need to be These covers are really also for Resale value Keeps them looking great and when I set down my headset I've yet to get a docking station yet(I'd get the Kiwi one or the anker one from the look of Design and functionality Never used or watched reviews Just from a brand standpoint But I tend to set my headset on its front part with the back part aiming at the sky This would ever so slightly scratch the front But this protection kit helps keep it nice and The Controller straps are better then stock and The VR lens cover is a good reminder that your quest will not be dinged up when moving around
I thought so at first too. Then I got a better one, and was like, “oh.” I can actually perform better in games now, because I didn’t realize how unstable the original strap was.
Upgrade 1/5: I have and IT IS A MUST FOR ANY QUEST 2 HEADSET Upgrade 2/5: Never tried but are a solid choice if you have bigger hands Upgrade 3/5: ANOTHER MUST HAVE, it's a godsend Upgrade 4/5: Why you gotta call me out like that T_T But yes, battery strap good for more playtime 05:05 - 05:16 Upgrade 5/5: Depends on personal preference but is a good pick as well(I use the quest speakers lol)
Nah I thought stock stuff was fine but after buying some of this my head feels so much better and I get no more headaches and don't drop my controllers. Try them they are the best. 😊
@@aurelionight tbh i think their focus on standalone is a big change to the vr environment overall, since pcvr is so limited with its base-stations and un-portability.
My friend bought Quest 2 in December and won't stop singing its praises. I ended up ordering one myself, would've received it today if the delivery didn't fuck up and ship it to a different city. As for your question, look, i was wondering this myself but alas i've not found enough reason to wait another year for smth like a Quest 3. Quest 2 will be alive for a few more years and for what it's worth, it's the most cost-effective option to get into VR right now. I'm not really worried about the headset, but i am a bit worried about the games. It seems like there're very few actually cool and immersive big games, and of which there are most are sandboxes. It's not like there're no games to get busy with right now though, and there've been promising announcements for the next couple of years, so unless the VR market just randomly completely dies, things will improve on that front.
Yes, it was a very good idea. We don't know when Quest 3 will come out and it probably will be overpriced and Quest 2 will be supported for a few more years. You did not make a mistake. I got my quest over a month ago and I totally don't regret it.
Hey, actually you don’t need a quest to head strap I use the normal head strap for 10 days and I’m fine or even more and I’m fine no headaches no migraines no nothing just get used to it. Just get used to it.
only reason i want a battery strap is so i know that i have hcarge left cus i dont wanna end up like ppl you play for 9 hours straight and end up with need for eye help (ps i allready do lol)
Eyyyy.. this was such a good video . Ty, super funny and super informative. BTW RS5 SOUNDING SICK I OWN RS7 2017 WITH FULL TITANIUM Akrapovich exhaust. Mine sounds most beastly, I think!!
after the full video i am conviced he is not sponsored bye kiwi.... but they should he advice the kiwi above the bobovr wel that's a rare talent to find XD
I still find it hilarious that the stock Quest 2 strap managed to somehow be *worse* than the stock Quest 1 strap.
The quest 3 head strap: 💀
@@ilipog Noooo!
Probably to make it cheaper
Ikr

I bought the Kiwi Elite Strap because of you! It is awesome! Fits my big gorilla head and my kids chimpanzee heads too
Same, it's really nice
As a kid myself, if u were my dad I would like u👍🏻

I like how we share the exact same opinion. The sound is okay on the quest, and the hand grip and head strap is a must for the quest

Kiwi strap + kiwi facial interface = heaven. Has to be the best way to Quest 2.
6:01 - I just went to watch the interview with Felix and he says he thinks having a counter-weight (like a battery pack) would actually have helped *prevent* his injury.
I’m using default quest with broken controller 😭 I’ve been watching since may of last year btw
The Kiwi controller covers are amazing. Absolutely worth the money.
9:50 the htc vive delux audio strap does go on sale often to around £49 btw that's how i got mine just gotta wait a little bit
i got a quest 2 for christmas (crazy, i know) and just yesterday bought a $30 replacement headstrap on amazon. and wow, i didnt know how awful the stock headstrap was until i swapped it out, and its totally worth the extra money to replace

The original quest headstrap is amazing i have used it for a year and i dont have any problems with it
Either you haven’t tried any other head straps or you are smoking crack.
@@SquirrellBoy424 I have had no reason to try any other
i have the kiwi face pad and it leave me lookin like even more of a tomato then stock one lol
i think i prolly should have gotten a fabric one rather then fake leather
I'm not even mad about the q2 strap in terms of comfort, but it gets so DAMN DIRTY
Nice list.
I already have #1, 2, & 3.
I haven't found a need for #4 yet.
#5, I prefer my studio headphones over pretty much anything else. But I'm a little bit of an audio fidelity nerd.
I got the vr wave lenses because of you and they are super good because I need glasses
Bro I needed this 3 months before Christmas 😭😭😭
purfectly timed as i just got a quest 2 lol
I took an old comfy Xbox headset and used cableties to shorten the cable. It is definitely an upgrade
8:10 Rec Room needs to bring back this experience lol
honestly i really like battery straps because it can act as a counterweight to the pretty unbalanced quest 2
I love the BoboVR headstrap. The headstrap is very comfortable and I just have two batteries that are perfect! They also work great as portable power banks for my phone
someone at my school has a vrcover faceplate and index-like straps for his controllers but still uses the base headstrap after two years. he disgusts me and is also a furry, those two things are unrelated

You forgot the true best vr headset accessory which is the truly essential googly eyes attachment.
I use a kiwi strap and it is so comfortable I recommend it if you want a elite strap
just got a haircut after getting the quest for christmas and yea, it's bad
also love your videos and the fact that you seem like a human, like you make jokes and shit and aren't boring like other vrtubers

I agree. I don't own a BoboVR strap yet, but it will be my next go-to. My Kiwi elite strap is much better than stock but still puts a lot of pressure on my face.
The main reason I use the battery strap is to get some better front-back weight distribution
Kiwi? That’s funny, try the boho vr headset with infinite battery. It’s even more comfortable than kiwi
Quest 2 strap is fine, I've had my quest for 8 months and I have no problem with it
get hip slowly descending into madness with every video.
Keep weight as low as possible. Apple. Uses glass and metal in it's 3499 vr headset lol.

Globular Cluster makes a fantastic Quest 2 audio solution.
I love my kiwi strap, but my only problem is that it became squeaky in all places in about a week of playtime
What do you think of Zyber VR? Thinking of buying some accesories for the Quest 3.
Can we talk about the tan line/ rings around his eyes from the VR Headset?
i wore the default headstrap constantly for a straight year and it started to give me a bald spot ont he middle strap part, unless you are bald and numb on the back of your head dont use it
Thanks I just ordered the kiwi elite strap
Recommendation - BoboVR A2
They recently released their own audio solution, and it supports every 3rd party headstrap.
It also consists with really great quality, and goes for 70$ and doesn’t have the same issues as Logitech’s overly priced Chorus audio solution.
The kiwi i know is good but i got the boba vr 2 because its a halo and has a extra like 3 hours with the battery pack you should try it
Still love these Vids.
Funny enough with my own homework.
I use simple 3.5m earbuds.
low volume.
got the kiwi head strap NO BATTERY, and added a face fan. with a strap for the back on a small portable battery charger.
that i mostly never use.
oh, and quest link with retractable ceiling mount wire holders for half lyfe
Where did one of his front fans go on the pc???
bro i use the quest elite head strap and the surge grips and it is the most comfortable thing ever
Did you know that kiwi made a new quest to elite head strap, but it has a battery that extend your play time by three hours
I really regret buying the Kiwi Audio strap, same audio quality as the stock speaker, and now that I have good headphones, they can't fit on the headset because the kiwi ones aren't removable, it is more comfortable than the elite strap so I can't go back to that, also, I have long hair, so whenever I take the headset off it gets tangled in the headphones, nightmare.
So which of those KIWI grips should i get those extenden ones or normal sized?
This Man needs 500k Subs Already!!! I Love Your Content GetHip!!! 😂😂
My Must have When I ordered mine Without anything then swiftly ordered what I needed I ended up getting a Strap from Kiwi design (non battery one) for 38-48 bucks Well worth it If you plan on using a Quest link cable and don't have to worry about Battery life If you care about battery life Buy the 79-99 dollar one with a battery. Anyways that strap made the Vr from only usable for 30 mins to Can sit and drift on AC for 5 hours strait and feel great after 9.5/10 Also ended up buying a Fake quest link cable then the 79 dollar one Save and get the name brand one or get a reputable brand that is actually 5GBS speed Very important for smoother video Compared to a fake one. So far The Kiwi elite strap And the quest Link cable. I also picked up a Silicone protector from Kiwi design I chose to buy a bundled one for 29 bucks(idk regular price) but it came with a headset cover Lens cover Controller grips and straps and this is well well worth it as it isn't adhesive so it don't hurt Resale I highly recommend buying these items to begin. The prices and items are as listed , Quest 2 Link Cable - Virtual Reality Headset Cable for Quest 2 and Quest - 16FT (5M) - PC VR 79$(not on sale) , KIWI design Comfort Head Strap Accessories Compatible with Quest 2, Elite Strap Replacement for Enhanced Support 49$(39 on sale) , KIWI design VR Accessories Bundle Compatible with Quest 2 Accessories, 3 in 1 Set Controller Grips Cover, Face Cover with Lens Cover VR Shell Cover, VR Accessories Protection 29$ (27 on sale)
THESE are the only 3 things I purchased and This is my reason for getting what I got I snagged the cable as I have a PC so I planned on connecting it for better performance I went with a wired way to play as I don't have room for a play area I sit and play or stand in legit a 2×3 area and I cannot fully extend my arms in a circle For this reason I went with the quest Link cable and I have Zero use currently for a battery pack If you plan on playing without being tethered Get the 79 dollar Battery 6400MH from Kiwi like stated in the video. I got the Kiwi headset straps as it looked and was and is comfortable as he'll I'm not sure there's anything better for the price and worth the risk This has been proven to work great. I got the silicon covers as Mentioned before I play in a area I cannot extend fully I tap into stuff often due to this when I get really immersed in my game and don't realize I'm not where I need to be These covers are really also for Resale value Keeps them looking great and when I set down my headset I've yet to get a docking station yet(I'd get the Kiwi one or the anker one from the look of Design and functionality Never used or watched reviews Just from a brand standpoint But I tend to set my headset on its front part with the back part aiming at the sky This would ever so slightly scratch the front But this protection kit helps keep it nice and The Controller straps are better then stock and The VR lens cover is a good reminder that your quest will not be dinged up when moving around
If you use the kiwi elete battery they audio-technica ath-m35 head phones fit perfictly if you tuck the tops under the strap
exept for the long freaking cord
Personaly, i have had my quest 2 for a month now and i havent had any problems with the stock headstrap. I almost could say i like it
I thought so at first too. Then I got a better one, and was like, “oh.” I can actually perform better in games now, because I didn’t realize how unstable the original strap was.
i have the regular kiwi grips and they are prob the best grips ive tried and ive noticed they prob work with quest pro controllers too idk
Upgrade 1/5: I have and IT IS A MUST FOR ANY QUEST 2 HEADSET
Upgrade 2/5: Never tried but are a solid choice if you have bigger hands
Upgrade 3/5: ANOTHER MUST HAVE, it's a godsend
Upgrade 4/5: Why you gotta call me out like that T_T But yes, battery strap good for more playtime
05:05 - 05:16
Upgrade 5/5: Depends on personal preference but is a good pick as well(I use the quest speakers lol)
This was a great video on the best Kiwi products to buy! Thanks Charlie.
Nah I thought stock stuff was fine but after buying some of this my head feels so much better and I get no more headaches and don't drop my controllers. Try them they are the best. 😊

Yeah, it's still the best all-around headset.
@@aurelionight tbh i think their focus on standalone is a big change to the vr environment overall, since pcvr is so limited with its base-stations and un-portability.
My friend bought Quest 2 in December and won't stop singing its praises. I ended up ordering one myself, would've received it today if the delivery didn't fuck up and ship it to a different city. As for your question, look, i was wondering this myself but alas i've not found enough reason to wait another year for smth like a Quest 3. Quest 2 will be alive for a few more years and for what it's worth, it's the most cost-effective option to get into VR right now. I'm not really worried about the headset, but i am a bit worried about the games. It seems like there're very few actually cool and immersive big games, and of which there are most are sandboxes. It's not like there're no games to get busy with right now though, and there've been promising announcements for the next couple of years, so unless the VR market just randomly completely dies, things will improve on that front.
Yes, it was a very good idea.
We don't know when Quest 3 will come out and it probably will be overpriced and Quest 2 will be supported for a few more years.
You did not make a mistake. I got my quest over a month ago and I totally don't regret it.
If you want an audio upgrade, get the Bobo VR A2
I am one of the mental few who is fine with the Meta Quest strap
My cat Kiwi heard this video playing and is wondering who’s saying her name so much
Wonder how many kiwi upgrades will be in this
1:23 I guess that I'm a mentally unstable individual then. (Watch me monke monke )
Hey, actually you don’t need a quest to head strap I use the normal head strap for 10 days and I’m fine or even more and I’m fine no headaches no migraines no nothing just get used to it. Just get used to it.
only reason i want a battery strap is so i know that i have hcarge left cus i dont wanna end up like ppl you play for 9 hours straight and end up with need for eye help (ps i allready do lol)
Saving up for the Kiwi Headstrap, $20 of $70 the way there (got a $20 discount with amazon prime)
7:00 or just tape a power bank which is unsafe and potentially dangerous 👍
I’ve had the meta elite strap since 2022 new year, and it is just as good as new
Finally, I knew I wasn't the only one who didn't think that the quest 2 stock audio sounded like actual shit
The music edits are amazin
The HTC deluxe audio strap is very good
On my headstrap one of my noby bits is broken and I don't know how
Eyyyy.. this was such a good video . Ty, super funny and super informative. BTW RS5 SOUNDING SICK I OWN RS7 2017 WITH FULL TITANIUM Akrapovich exhaust. Mine sounds most beastly, I think!!
You really called out the Bobo m2.
The default strap is perfectly fine imo, probably because i have so much fucking hair on my head
i got a meta quest because of you!-TYSM!
What is the music playing in the background in some parts like at 6:15
Yay I already have cataracts so it won't really hurt me [:
I’ve bought a few valve type grips but they all ripped 😢
after the full video i am conviced he is not sponsored bye kiwi.... but they should he advice the kiwi above the bobovr wel that's a rare talent to find XD
I wouldn't say ''ESSENTIAL'' I would say ''If you want it you get it''.
I've had the elite strap with battery for a hot minute since around Christmas of 2021 and it's been fine ig I'm lucky
Send me message on Google chat
