Review: Having re-awakened our Oculus-2 from a 2-year slumber, inspired by ClayHunt VR (my wife and I are clay shooters with attentions drawn to this excellent simulator), I realised a need for extended battery life for serious home practice. So, I swallowed the cost and purchased this Elite strap for periods of extended use, in comfort. I am so glad I did, and gratified with my purchase choice. First, given the numerous enquirers, I can confirm that the headset equipped with Elite headband does not fit in the original box. However, happy to confirm successful resolution by simply keeping it in a bigger box. The weight of the rear battery, and head-hugging rubberised cup replacing a taught elastic strap, do wonders for comfort. This is important to eliminate distractions from growing discomfort over extended periods of operation - not to mention unabated enjoyment of TV shows, movies, and games. The one quirk I discovered was that, with the rear battery and headset connected, with Oculus battery reporting 99% charge and strap battery 55% charge, the Oculus charging LED did not respond at-all to the connected charger. Furthermore, no LED on the strap to indicate charging. The only way I found to get the Oculus to show charging operation, with the Oculus fully powered down, was to disconnect and reconnect the battery link cable to the Oculus, which only then proceeded to indicate charging status of the combined batteries. That said, given the exhorbitant price, a disappointing but minor gripe largely offset by the added comfort afforded by the Elite strap and extra battery life, with the added bonus that the 3D image actually appears considerably clearer as the headset rests squarer to the face and eyes. Finally, if even greater battery life were required, I see no reason why the USB-C charging connector on the strap (conveniently at the rear and distanced frim the head) could not be connected to a more conventional 5V power pack offering port charging current in excess of 2A - largely because the charger that's bundled with the Oculus-2 is nothing more than a 5V/2A mains adapter. I would however expressly avoid any charging source that is PD/QC ("Power Delivery/Quick Charge") compliant, as such sources are able to negotiate and deliver higher voltages by design, which could destroy the internal Oculus charging regulator should an error/fault occur. In-all a very worthy addition to the Oculus-2/Meta-Quest headset, and (price notwithstanding) a product I can warmly recommend.

Review: Does the job, came with a wide and narrow. Fitting the right size definitely improves your experience wearing the headset. But at nearly £60 it’s quite expensive for something that should really be included with the Meta Quest. Also comes with silicone covers for both which is great! Over all would recommend if your headset isn’t quit fitting right.
