FYI it's not healthy to keep any lithium battery at 100%. I would suggest allowing the quest battery discharge to 50% or less then connect the battery strap to charge up the quest to continue playing.
correct strategy is to set it on charge at ~15% and stop charging at 80% this extends the life of it the most from the other perspective it's pretty inconvenient to "manage" battery like that all the time and may be it is worth to just use it as you pleased, it will serve nicely couple of years and then buy new headstrap for this $50 (probably you'll be getting it anyway because of pads wear, or smth like that)? it's for anyone to decide: constantly think about this thing or allow themselves to spend $2 a month to remove this burden ($2*2years*12month=$50)
Hey I'm just letting you and everyone know the battery strap you have linked is not the one you are showing in the video. You have the regular battery pack linked and not the one with magnetic cable. This could lead people to buying the wrong thing and creating some really disappointed viewers! Please fix this 🙏
I also bought a Battery strap from KiWi recently, but mainly because I already liked their comfort strap from Quest 2. Really Comfortable, can only recommend
If you just have this head strap without the stand, I take it you can charge both the battery in the Quest and the head strap by just connecting a USB-C to the head strap at the back? Do you know if doing this would keep both the head strap and Quest battery fully charged while playing?
If you plug into the battery it can probably stay charged if your charger cord & base are high power. But plugging 2 cables charges faster if you’re done playing
100% is fine. it is recommended not to charge it over 80%, but if it's 100 already, nothing wrong with keeping it at this. but if you ask me, just charge it to 100% and charge oculus to 50% all the time. play, repeat. this will keep oculus battery healthy, strap will serve 2 years anyway and can be easily replaced.
So beyond frustrated right now. I ordered the stand and battery strap at the same time from their amazon page with the picture of the strap on the stand. Stand arrived first, love it so much. But when the strap arrived, I was confused why the strap's plug wasn't the magnet I saw in the video. I'm gutted I made such a simple mistake that I'll be reminded of each time the strap runs out of battery. No seamless charging for me :( Obviously it was my fault, but I think Kiwi needs to have a little more advertisement for which type of battery strap you're buying. Just a sad man ranting. Thanks for the video, products fit and look great..... but :(
I'm confused, is there another version of the battery strap? I have the battery strap, but the connector for it is the traditional USB-C that plugs into the Quest 3. Does that mean I won't be able to use the strap and the stand at the same time?
@@ItsSamuelJones I did, actually. It seems this is a new strap they're going to start selling sometime in January that comes with a connector compatible with the dock. I'll have to re-buy my battery strap because this would be a lot better than having to charge it separate to the Quest while on the stand.
Ya, in the exact same boat, my strap from your link purchased has a traditional USB-C connector, kinda bummed as cannot duplicate what you were promoting
i can't handle the elite strap type i prefer the halo , so to fix my charging problem i got a cheap halo strap with lots of cushening and the binbok 8000mah battery strap and i frankensteined the binbok back part onto the halo strap front ......it was easy i just unscrewed the middle hinges and just mix and matched the parts together :) so the result is the best charging halo strap on the market lol.
Maybe I'm missing something. At the 7:15 mark in your video, it shows a connector coming from the battery that seems to have a pass-thru of some sort. You mentioned in this configuration, you can charge both the battery and the Quest 3. My battery strap (Kiwi) only has a little right-angle USB to round 3-pin connector. Doesn't look anything like the one in your video. Can I purchase that connector somewhere? When I look at the link you provided for the SPC Battery Strap, it's now unavailable. The one I purchased was the KIWI design Comfort Battery Head Strap 6400mAh Compatible with Meta Quest 3 Accessories Battery Pack Pressure Free Counterweight Battery Design from Amazon.
I printed out a 20k battery bank holder for a amazon elite strap. I can go all day. It draws from the battery bank when I play when off it charges and its a great counter weight.
Are the batteries removeable or are you expected to buy multiple headstraps for long play time? or once that battery dies you have to buy a whole new headstrap? Love the original kiwi headstrap but if that battery is built in then this is a waste of time when they have straps now that charge better than this and have hotswap batteries.
The charger only works for the Q3 head set and not controllers, so you will need to replace the controller batteries. This is why I chose not to buy this charging unit.
Hey man, great review. Not sure if i missed it (kinda tired) but how long would it take this thing to fully loaded both if empty or close to beeing empty? Greetings
@spydog1462 I got in touch with Kiwi support and got the answer I was looking for. Turns out the battery strap featured in this video is a new one they're going to begin selling in January. Looks like I'll need to purchase a new strap once that one comes out. It would be a lot more convenient.
The charging dock comes with a USB-C adapter for headset, and the SPC Battery Head Strap has build-in adapter for the dock allows you charge both headset and strap battery on the dock
Can anyone confirm if buzzing is still an issue? Bought my son a Aubika battery strap which works well but would like something different for my quest 3
Sorry for the late reply. No the buzzing is no longer an issue, Turns out it was actually a software problem but meta rolled out an update about a month or two ago to solve it.
Im confused as I am also in the UK, but the link you put to Amazon 🇬🇧 is saying its for the Quest 2. And in the questions, and answers people are saying I does not fit the Quest 3?? Amd that a Q3 version is in the works. But you are using the linked verson on your quest 3? I see you dont answer a lot of questions, and Uunderstand. But if someone could give some feedback, it would be appreciated. (great Vid BTW.) 👍🏻
Has anyone had trouble with getting the Kiwi battery head strap to charge? Getting the quest itself to charge doesn’t take that long, but when I have the head strap plugged in to charge, it’s taking forever. After an hour it still just shows one steady light and a second light flashing. It hasn’t increased at all. Am I missing something? I’m not using the charging stand, just a regular outlet.
Question about the strap. Am I supposed to plug the strap in and it keeps the headset at 100% or do I let the headset get low on battery then let the strap charge it back up?
From what I'm hearing elsewhere you should plug the strap in when headset is over 80% battery, and let it keep the headset at 100%. This sounds like the fix for the buzzing issue.
Hi, do you recommend some accessories to play 🎾 tennis or table tennis games ? Thanks I would like something for billiards pools games too . Sorry my English Thanks
I love my Kiwi battery pack and dock. the only issue i have, is because i have a big ass head i have to move in the strap when docking. i wish that i could extend the back piece that hold it. so i wouldnt have to keep adjusting.
Hi maye just got mine 2day played 3 hours straight quest battery stayed at 100% , head strap battery went from 4 to 1 light . When I put the quest bk on the dock the light stayed green , what I’m wondering do u fink it would be better to recharge the headstrap independently as the quest is fully charged could this not damage the battery in the long run any thoughts?
Just got the bundle and i noticed the battery pack in the back does not charge when i set my headset down it just blinks i left it for 5 hours and was still at 2 dots while my headset was at 100%
Will battery in this strep be automatically charged on metas official charging dock? If not is there one that will charge with it? I got the M3 bobovr strap but it doesn’t charge the battery which makes the docking station useless as I now have to things to charge.
Question about the Charging Stand does it come with that Magnetic Adapter that makes contact with the magnetic piece on the dock? and does that Magnetic adapter have a spot to plug in an external USB-C battery headset cable to?
It is a USB C port on the side, the rubber adapter with the magnet plugs into that, then there is a USB C adapter with the magnets that you can leave in your headset so when you are finished you can just stick it on the stand.
Just wondering, how would it be wearing headphones with this? the top head strap looks kind of thick so I'm not too sure about it. I'm looking into getting a quest 3 and I have Sony xm5's that I would like to use with the headset. Would I be better just getting some earbuds?
It has the buzzing and it's really annoying. You're not gonna notice it while listening to music and chatting with others but once you need to concentrate during a battle in Onward you will notice that your ears are about to bleed.
LOVE THIS!! Coming from psvr & psvr2, being able to play hours & hours on end i really never thought about battery consumption. But this battery issue with quest 3 is incredibly annoying. Insane meta pulled products for the quest 3 because they didnt work. Does the kiwi design charging stand stop charging when the battery strap and headset are charged?
Thanks for the review! What great product, ive ordered the spc strap and stand combo but the delivery is delayed till the 8th Jan. Im more than happy to wait though 👍
I've paired this with the amvr facial interface and they are amazing! I've also tried other straps as well as the bobo m3 and this is hands down the best combo
relatively long. only got it fully charged over night, but could also use it the whole day with pauses on the charging stand. But you can also directly charge the battery on the back, it also has it's own socket. With a power bank for the back and the normal stand charge it charged from 25% to 100% in about 2 hours
What if I already have the Meta Quest 3 dock, Is this battery head strap compatible with the Quest 3 dock and would it also charge the head strap battery?
I genuinely hate reviews from paid advertisers. Who knows if this is actually good because he would just lie since he’s being paid to sell this. So we literally just watched a long advertisement and not a review
Also I have turned down the opportunity to review things if they disagree with me being honest even if they would pay me. If someone pays me it is for exposure and not for a positive review.
Great video. Just one question: How would you compare this to a Vive DAS "Frankenquest" setup with an extra power pack on the back? I've got a DAS already, but it's seen better days. The sound on the Quest 3 seems good enough I don't really need the headphones anymore, so I'm torn between replacing it with another of the same or going with the Kiwi for that nifty charging port.
My cheap battery headstrap with a 6000 mHa battery charges my Q3, is comfortable and I don't hear any buzzing. Using it already a few weeks. Batterydrain of my Q3 is there but very slow... this week I used the Q3 four hours: 1 hour Beatsaber, 1 hour Asgard's Wrath and a few movies.... the Q3 was still full, the battery was at 15% - it has a digital display). Cost? Around 20$!
The fact that this gives the headstrap 6 hours is crazy personally I’m not too bothered about getting a battery strap bc the basic battery if the m3 is around 2 hrs and I can’t play vr for more than 1.5 hours 😶 otherwise I throw up, but I’m debating getting this bc it looks comfortable
Nah I’ve had my vr headset for over 2 years and I tend to use it 4-5 times a week but I just get rlly bad motion sickness after prolonged periods of time whilst on it
I'm of the belief that it shouldn't take 5 minutes to start talking about the video titles topic.
He was talking about the stand more than the actual product title
If he wanted to talk about the dock, he should title it as so
Ye
If only there were timestamps that you could utilize to skip to the section that you want
I'll give you credit there but I am unsure that they were there when the post was made
FYI it's not healthy to keep any lithium battery at 100%. I would suggest allowing the quest battery discharge to 50% or less then connect the battery strap to charge up the quest to continue playing.
Or you could run it till it's about to die every time
@@XPERTgamer3602That damages lithium batteries.
correct strategy is to set it on charge at ~15% and stop charging at 80%

from the other perspective it's pretty inconvenient to "manage" battery like that all the time and may be it is worth to just use it as you pleased, it will serve nicely couple of years and then buy new headstrap for this $50 (probably you'll be getting it anyway because of pads wear, or smth like that)? it's for anyone to decide: constantly think about this thing or allow themselves to spend $2 a month to remove this burden ($2*2years*12month=$50)

Do you have to charge the head set and the battery pack separately if you don't have the charging stand

Really Comfortable, can only recommend
Get to the point holy shit

Mate, your link for the battery strap takes me to the quest 2 battery strap. Which is not powerfull enough for quest 3.
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?
No because that port goes through a battery which doesn't have any way to transfer data
Is keeping it at 100% a good idea in the long run though? Wouldn't it be better to keep it at 80% to extend battery life?
100% is fine.
it is recommended not to charge it over 80%, but if it's 100 already, nothing wrong with keeping it at this.
but if you ask me, just charge it to 100% and charge oculus to 50% all the time. play, repeat.
this will keep oculus battery healthy, strap will serve 2 years anyway and can be easily replaced.
Love this honest, practical review! Subscribed!
Does this have pass through with the Link Cable
Does this transfer data and charge are same time???

What tunnelling
@@B0BTheMonkey most vr games will let you turn on tunneling. It reduces your field of view when moving. It fixes motion sickness
Is the 6 hours battery life just the strap itself or is it the strap and headset combined?
Either way 6 hours is pretty good.
Total. an additional ~4 hours to the quest's ~2
@@ItsSamuelJones Thank you.
i was gonna just buy the head strap and controller grips but i think you’ve sold me on the charging station now too lol
