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.
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.
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 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 ...
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
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.
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
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
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!
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
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.
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
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 :)
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
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.
@@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.
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
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
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 💰
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
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
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!!
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. 😊
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.
You seriously included two different head straps and added both to the total cost? Thanks for letting us know right away not to watch anymore brainless videos from this channel. 🤦😂
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.
the only way im using headphones with my quest 2 is if they are bluetooth the ones that look liek the ones in your vgideo make me want to just rage thinking how dumb they look and why even do that why have spoeakers that everyone else can hear . just get some bluetooth headpohones that you like for your phone and pair them to bopth your phone and quest 2 and thats it done deal!
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)
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
upgrade 1 i own upgrade 2 i dont (at the moment) upgrade 3 i dont own and use my default (at the moment) upgrade 4 i dont own (at the moment) upgrade 5 i dont own (at the moment)
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.
