After working with KIWI, I have an outstanding product...

5 out of 5 stars

After working with KIWI, I have an outstanding product…
First posting:I connected the headgear, charged the battery, and took it for a test drive. My first impression was that it was comfortable, and after a short time, I could find the balance spot for my head. It doesn’t slip much, but as per any I used with my MQ2, readjustments need to be made during gameplay, as it does tend to rest on my cheekbones after a bit. This is nothing that I couldn’t live with.The battery did its job as it was depleted, and my headset still had a 3/4 battery when I finished a multiplayer game. It wasn’t until the following day, when I started to put it on that I noticed a small cut/tear along the seam about mid-way between front to back on the cushion for the crown of the head. I tried using the Amazon link to contact KIWI, as I thought just getting a replacement top strap would be more advantageous than a complete replacement. Besides, I already have everything connected to it.When I clicked the link, my anti-virus blocked the website. I contacted Amazon support because they’re always awesome; I chatted with an Amazon rep who told me we could not get just the top head strap. My first question was, why make it detachable if you can’t replace it? I didn’t mean to put her on the spot, nor did I expect her to be able to answer that, so after I apologized to her – I honestly was sorry, and besides, it wasn’t her fault. She told me to put in for a product replacement, switch the head strap, and return the new one.So that’s what we’re doing. I should receive it today, and I’m sure this one will be fine…I am giving 4 out of 5 stars because their quality control should have caught this.Update #1:I typed the above review, and now, after a few days, I want to update it.I am dropping my rating to 2 stars. The battery doesn’t extend the usage all that much. To top that, when I unplug it from the gaming area and take it to the office, after just two hours in standby mode, it is completely depleted and has to be plugged back in and charged back up. I think a battery, when not being used, should hold a charge longer than a couple of hours. I should have done a complete swap when they sent me one to replace the crown cushion. IDK if Amazon will work with me again, but I will try… I will add another update if they do.Update #2:In my previous update, I mentioned that I was afraid Amazon would not work with me again, but they did a total return/refund of the defective product. This was an unexpected surprise, and I considered the matter closed and moved on to a different-style battery to extend my gaming time.Then, I was contacted directly by the vendor KIWI.Let me say that this is a company that STANDS BEHIND their product. After I explained what happened and told them I considered the matter closed and had moved on to a competitor’s product, they asked if I would try their product again as they felt this was an oddity. –I always hear about this on YouTube; people receive products for review, but I have NEVER experienced anything like this. – After a few days, I received an unexpected package: the KIWI design Comfort Battery Head Strap. I connected it to my Quest., and after using it now for close to a month, giving it a full stress test before posting,I have to say that this headset is comfortable to wear (that was never an issue), and the battery is living up to what it is supposed to do. I can now use my Quest three ways: a) just with the KIWI headset battery. My gaming is significantly extended (as advertised), and I can stay on with most of my family & friends. b) Staying wireless using my other battery feeding into the KIWI, which can charge it as it feeds the Quest. Allowing me to stay online longer than anyone I know. c) With the AC power connected to the KIWI. This doesn’t charge the KIWI as fast as it discharges into the Quest, but using it after the first two methods, I can outlast myself. I had to leave the Metaverse to take a break and allow EVERYTHING to charge.I am returning my rating to 5 stars because of the product and KIWI’s customer service.

    Play longer in comfort

    Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2025

    This strap and battery upgrade made so much difference. The strap is so comfortable on my head and the weight of the extra battery on the back is balanced just right with the headset. It doesn't pull on the back of your head like the original strap does. The play time is long enough that i quit playing before the battery runs out. Unlike before when the battery low warning would pop up in the middle of the game and I would have to stop right then to recharge for about 2 hours. The charge time is the same as before. Its very easy to replace the strap. It's also very adjustable with just the turn of a knob. You get, comfort, time, and ease of use for a great price. It also fits most carrying cases. I thought I was going to need to buy a new hardshell carry casr for my Meta Quest 3s after I installed the strap with battery but it adjusted down to a perfect fit in the case. This is a must have for any Meta Quest user.

    Excellent, good battery, comfortable, adjustable

    I'd buy it again. Battery gives me about 2-3 extra hours of Beat Saber play per charge. I wear out before it does. Easy to attach. Easy to adjust. Comfortable. You can put weight on the top strap or just tighten the back to hold everything in place. Top strap is optional, but wise.

    Sweat-proof, easy to wipe down, never smells bad. I have not given the top strap a thorough wash in about 300 hours of intense play, and there is no evidence of my laziness at all. 10/10

    Great for comfort and longevity

    Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024

    Verified Purchase

    Having owned a quest 2 and never buying a different head strap for it, I didn’t want to end up in the same situation with a quest 3. The stock head strap (combined with the stock facial interface) becomes very uncomfortable after maybe 15-30 minutes of use. I spent quite a bit of time researching which strap to buy and I’m sure like a lot of you I was between the bobo m3 pro and this one.

    I actually found myself leery of the bobo after seeing how many different reviewers were pushing it. It felt more like a sponsored rather than a good product. Due to sensing this I decided to go with kiwi strap and I’m glad I did as I’ve gotten the chance to try both now and feel I made the right decision.

    I purchased an aftermarket quest 3 for my girlfriend after seeing how much she liked it. This one came with the bobo vr strap mentioned. Comparing the two I’ve found the kiwi:
    1. More comfortable, the top strap really seems to be a necessity for this.
    2. Has a longer lasting battery, the two are very similar but it’s notable.
    3. Is much easier to just throw on and quickly adjust. It takes seconds to get this back in a comfortable position which is a godsend if you need to clean the lenses while playing beat saber or the like. The bobo m3 pro felt more like I was installing an apparatus on my head and didn’t have quite the same range of adjustment.

    I will say there is a benefit to the bobo strap, having a swappable battery seems like it would be great if you’re playing for a long time or if you forget to charge the headset after using. If you think you’re going to be playing for more than few hours at a time it may be worth it to go with that one. If you’re looking for comfort, like I was after dealing with stock quest 2 equipment, go with this one.

    In addition to this strap I also bought the kiwi controller grips with battery door. There’s a ton of copycat designs for around the same price, I just went with that one because I was already getting this strap and there was a percentage off. I bought the amvr facial interface with the “ice silk” cover as well. These three things together have made the quest comfortably playable for hours at a time when I would have started to feel uncomfortable after only 15-30 minutes previously.

    Go with whichever strap seems best for you, but if you for example find yourself leaning one way or another due to YouTube channels with $10s of thousands of dollars of vr equipment but a number of subscribers that seems low for their production value, I’d question the true nature of their review.

    It works, but i paid more lol

    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2024

    Verified Purchase

    First let me mention that i purchased this for $60. Days later this is discounted for $40. That was annoying, i may should have bought it on eBay which was on those prices…

    Now for the normal review: The strap is comfortable if its not too pushed in, so make sure to find your spot. Battery works like a extended one, not as a backup. What i mean is that you should have the headset charged at the highest percentage, then you plug the battery in. Is not fast charging, just sitting on the percentage you got on the headset. Which makes it last for about 2 more hours, haven't been able to fully drain it out on a single session yet (Maybe i will on my day off).

    I liked the elite style headstraps more than Halo ones for a simple reason: the headset doesn't wobble. Is pushed into my face rather than sitting on it.
    The included cloth may scratch the lenses btw.

    Good quality strap, fits perfectly on my head and is comfortable to wear. Battery charges very slowly but you can just leave it charging overnight and it'll be great. Also if you're not using your quest for a long time it's better to unplug the battery from the headset as it can drain it's battery, even if you're not using it

    Easy-to-use

    Reviewed in Sweden on February 14, 2025

    Verified Purchase

    I've been using this thing for months, and I still like it. I find that the best things about this battery is that you don't have to look for an on-off button every time you use it. You connect the cable, it switches on automatically and does the job. Simple and reliable. The cable and a battery level indicator are both located on the top of the battery. This is the best location. Charging is equally easy. The mounted battery balances nicely, and is not too heavy. There is a very sturdy and practical cable mount included, to make sure that the USB-cable sits in place while playing. Good stuff! The only drawback is the strap padding. It's too soft and the material does not breathe. However you can mod that part anyway. Recommended!

    Ich habe dieses Kopfband als Alternative zu dem Originalprodukt gekauft, da letzteres für mich einfach nicht tragbar war – sei es aus Komfort- oder Passformgründen. Dieses Modell hat mich jedoch absolut überzeugt!

    Der Tragekomfort ist hervorragend. Das Material fühlt sich angenehm auf der Haut an, und auch bei längerer Nutzung drückt oder zwickt nichts. Es sitzt fest, aber nicht unangenehm, was besonders bei längeren Sitzungen ein großer Vorteil ist.

    Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist die Akkukapazität. Ich habe das Kopfband bislang noch nicht leer bekommen, obwohl ich es schon mehrere Stunden am Stück genutzt habe. Das gibt ein gutes Gefühl, weil man sich keine Sorgen machen muss, dass der Akku plötzlich versagt.

    Insgesamt eine klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die auf der Suche nach einer bequemen und langlebigen Alternative zum Original sind!
