This strap is fantastic and worth every penny. It has the odd side effects of making the headset feel more premium, and aesthetically look better as well beyond the ergonomic improvements alone. Just get it!
Agreed 100%
Have you got a case that fits this strap? I got a Quest 2 this week and just ordered the Kiwi headstrap but haven't yet bought a case.
@@mattwithoutfear The SARLAR and the official one will both do it BUT you must simply disconnect the black head support piece first (easily done). Supposedly the Younik case is big enough to not even have to do that.
@@fractalelf7760 thanks!
@@mattwithoutfear The original case fits it but you gotta take off the back piece, but the BOBOVR case fits it perfectly.
I am so thankful that I found this video, i recently got a quest two and it’s great! my only issues are the battery life and the horrible head-strap. It just comes loose too easily and too quickly and it leaves the screen all blurry and it causes eye strain really quickly
Thank you so much for this video! You helped me decide what to get
So glad to hear!
The very nice thing for people that have the carrying case is that the kiwi strap can be adjusted to the small head size to fit nicely in the case.
thank you dude for this video i just ordered one i didn’t know if it was gonna be good or bad
I love how small the strap can tighten. Great for my kids
under rated channel. keep up the great content.
Also a new quest user - just can’t get the included quest strap to fit without either crushing my forehead or cheeks - so I’m now waiting for my kiwi to arrive. I’ve been through adjustment tutorials etc but it’s either my head or my hair that’s just not working with it. I’m mainly going to play beatsaber or pingpong etc so having something to balance out the weight and make it fit securely is a big need.
I’m also used to the OG psvr & while that one fogged up or tried to swallow my nose & I couldn’t wear glasses it was a 100% more comfortable
The strap that comes with the oculus, the little adjustment things irradiate the back of my head causing headaches often, this kiwi strap seems like a better choice so thank you.
I love this strap. Agree with everything you said about it. Bought it as an impulse purchase and been very satisfied than a few others i've tried.
Amazing :)
Impulse did a same thing to me because it one of those things I have to have.
Just wanted to say I've watched ton of videos on straps and yours was objectively great! Convinced me to get the kiwi!
Hope you enjoy it!
i have this and it feels SO much better than the original very good headstrap I reccomend
Wow! Thanks for the great tips
You deserve more views and subs. Well done!
Thank you!
Thanks for your video! I'll be ordering the strap this week!
Right on!
Just Got it Today and I gotta say it was extremely comfy and I rate it 10/10
Did you order new face padding from Kiwi too? It has ventilation so it will feel less hot at your face.
With both good stuff from Kiwi, you have best setup for Quest 2. :-) I have both and it does the job very well.
Only i didn't think about popup feature. Because it helps also to put on your head easier.
It's a shame they don't offer a version like this with a battery.
I find having the extra battery life helps a lot, and I often dip into the second battery's battery life when playing.
I am pretty sure that they announced that they are working on one
Is the charging cable not long enough to keep it plugged in while playing?
@@raventhorX no
@@bruceborn6125 how long is the cable and are there third party alternatives that are quite long? Budget is definitely a big concern and if money wasn't as much of an issue for me compared to those already getting into VR I would just drop a few hundred on multiple battery packs. I'm a hard-core gamer and regularly play at least 6 hours a day and I intend to play this just as much if I ever manage to get one.
Get a Bobo VR M2 Elite Strap is as comfortable as this one and it has a built-in battery that adds 3 hour to your play time, I got one recently, at the beginning I was skeptical but when it arrives I understood it was a really game changer, I Also got a second battt pack, now I have unlimited play time..... pretty good product
ive recently gotten a linkcable and i wanted to make my quest 2 more like an actual pcvr headset, thanks for telling me about kiwi!
Hi! Do you know if Kiwi Design Elite strap fits in BOBOVR C2 case?
Or what cases this strap fits in well? Thanks!
This is so convincing!!! I really wish they would've released one with the extra battery bc the battery life of the oculus kinda sucks :(
I like this video and how you say all the good things about kiwi but what is the price comparison
2:38 this right here I didn't even really consider after I just ordered it. I do find myself walking around a lot in passthrough as to what you said. its cumbersome taking it on and off. and passthrough can be annoying once you leave the play space. the more videos I watch the more I feel confident I made the right choice. Very well done video man 😎👌after about a year of putting up with the out of box strap or Jockstrap lets be real, I'm getting EXCITED. should be here tomorrow :D.
I absolutely agree with you it's a great feature
The strap alleviates the bend and break issue in the standard elite by allowing the strap to pivot in that high pressure area instead of bend. My elite strap bends like crazy in that spot when I put it on and take it off and one has snapped already with this new one showing stress cracks. Definitely going to grab this one instead.
Damn that's scary..
This is going to be very helpfull! I'm thinking of getting the oculus quest 2, I hope that it's a good VR-headset.
Thank you. That was easy!
Glad it helped!
Does anyone know of a video where they show how to properly fit the Kiwi headstrap to the user? I can get it comfortable for about 60 seconds then it either feels too tight on my face or its pressing down too much on the bridge of my nose.
I chose the BOBOVR m2 strap, and it’s working well. It’s very similar to this one, but I can’t say it’s better cause I don’t have the kiwii
Something I noticed with the head strap you get by default when buying a Quest 2 is that whenever you look up or down you can't do it fast because the headset moves on your face in either direction because of the strap being flimsy, I've had my headset fall off my head from me looking up fast when I was playing shooter games or fast paced games, But the Quest 2 is quite durable in that sort of way, Another thing to point out is that it feels quite heavy on your face and if you decide to tighten up the back where the 2 plastic bits are after playing for around 15 minutes your face and the back of your head is in pain with 3 pressure points pressing down.
so i was wondering. i want to get this but people say the bobovr one is good aswell?
i mostly play some shooters and sometimes just relax in vrchat and lately boneworks, and i also use the link cable alot
in my opinion i like the bobo vr m2 but your choise is pretty good too ngl
Thank you for this excellent and very informative video. You have a real talent for explaining things in a non-boring fashion. LOL You would make a great teacher or college professor.
Thank you!
Nice! I'm pretty much sold on this now.
What do you recommend to use with this for a better audio solution for the quest 2?
I'd just use the headset only
AirPod pros
I’m new to quest 2 can battery attachments work well on this head strap??
Really great review.
This video was put together so well. Hearing your opinion has completed convinced me that this is the headstrap for me.
You deserve so much more attention on this video
Thank you so much for your kind comments
Hey dude how did you find the free silicone? Would it be there when you have the strap?
I have a question do I better try first tho original deluxe strap or kiwi one? because I have only one witch is coming with vr headset
Thank you. Got this headset and ordered the rebuff reality vr power 2 battery to strap to the back. From what I have read it works great and balances the entire headgear. Does anybody have this setup already?
Thanks for doing this review, I just cancelled delivery of the Oculus one (just in time), as the tilt mechanism you highlighted looks to be a killer feature.
Awesome!
Great review! Is this good for someone with a really small head?
Indeed! I cover that in my video! It goes to a small size.
You are the best reviewer of VR stuff out there, and I have seen em all. Glad I found your channel. Subbed.
Thank you mc
Witch one do I buy
Thank you for the helpful video. Question, I'm a paraplegic and need to rest me head on a pillow at times when in use. Can this be used when laying down with your head on a pillow or will the back protrude too much and dig into my head causing fatigue/pain? Thanks 😊
not ideal, I reviewed the razer strap, it's better for lying down.
7:02 i feel like im using my kiqi headstrap wrong because it still puts a ton of pressure on my face no matter how much i adjust it. what am i doing wrong? i can only get the strap to hold weight on the very top of my head but not the whole head just the very top and i get quest sag where it starts to droop down unless i make it so tight it squeezes my face, everybody and their mother says this kiwi strap is the best but i havent been able to figure out how im using it wrong.
good review pro all the way clean
What’s the compatibility like with gaming headsets such as razer brand ones because they are known for being bulky and heavy duty?
Dude wish I found your video earlier. YOURE THE ONLY one in any of these reviews and tips and tricks that addressed what I felt was the most important feature. It’s like no one cared about the need to move their device out of the way temporarily which to me is essential for safety and convenience. If I wanted to take the headset off and put it on then keep the original crappy strap. Anything else is just marketing. Thank you and keep it up
Thank you for your kind words
Thanks for the in depth review. I put my order in. How does it feel while lying down?
It's not bad, you can feel a bit of a bump but it's not annoying
I'm a big fan of kiwi designs, solid products. I liked the FB Silicone cover before the kiwi cover arrived... the nose flaps are the big difference, much better light control. As for head straps... if I'd not bought the elite battery strap I'd definitely have bought the kiwi strap. IMO the battery strap is the best strap option for the quest 2 because of the battery and the better weight distribution you get with the battery hanging off the back, it totally removes that feeling that the headset wants to tip forward and is comfortable enough to wear through an entire charge without discomfort.
Agree! Absolutely
I’m getting this tomorrow
I ordered it a week ago and I’m excited for it to get here!!!
Lessss go!
Love this strap! Only wish it had a battery pack slot option but it’s all good.
Bot
what?
Do u get the foam with it fir the face piece
Thoughts on this vs the Bobo M2 Pro?
It's my first time using quest 2 and I find the strap uncomfortable if I buy this head strap, can I still charge it on my charging deck .thanks
I ordered mine 12 days ago and it’s still shipping from the site! Hopefully it’ll be here soon so I can experience such a wonderful strap!
Haven’t gotten an update ever since it left the facility place, I assume it’s on a ship
did you get it?
The kiwi design is easier to fit over my glasses because of the hinge. With the elite strap I need to re-adjust the headset every time I put it on. Also, I got the kiwi for $35 shipped since kiwi normally has discount codes listed right on their page.
Nice to hear!
how do i use the discount code?
@@JSyntax how much is it regularly?
What face lining does the oculus come with default now?
Omg! Cuando los compré use inmediatamente el de bobovr.. se rompió y use el de oculus... Note que tuve alergia! Ahora entiendo!
Just got it, it feels a bit weird at first, because i had the one that came with my quest two. I hope it’s good
bought this because you claimed the headset could flip up. I'm constantly switching between my computer and headset, so this was a super valuable feature. After fiddling with it for half an hour I couldn't get it to rest on my head while flipped :(
really? is the friction not working? still works for me to this day
I've seen this before but I don't see a way to install the VR Power battery pack to it, does anyone know of any other straps that are compatible with VR Power?
I just picked this up and it really is nice! A little big, but flip up, and rear pad are great.
Agreed!
Hi, does your opinion about the kiwi design elite strap remain the same after some time using it ? Is it still working good / didn't snap ? I want to buy one, so I'm trying to get people's opinion after some time using it, I would greatly appreciate if you answer this comment !
@@TheSliverSilver I still like the fit and it is holding up fine. The only thing that isn't great is the "flip up" functionality really doesn't work for me, i need to push the whole headset up to view the real world. I use some velcro wrap ties to guide the cable to the back and keep stress off the usb port.
Yep I'm sold I just got my quest 2 two days ago and I'm not a fan of the default one.
Thanks for the vid, I love this strap, but I am just trying to find a good case for it without having to disassemble the strap each time. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately, I dont have a good solution. I'll contact kiwi and ask
BoboVR c2 case should
How's the battery on the kiwi strap?
Yo man I have a question when you got the kiwi headset did it come with the sens cover and the face cover? Or did you but it in a bundle?
It was separate
@@JSyntax alright thanks for telling me also great video my kiwi headset was supposed to come today but in never did so now I have to wait until next week 😭
Looks great! How does it work over glasses with the flip feature? Does anyone have any experience with this please?
this headstrap is useless with glasses. the original being elastic made it much easier to get on/off with glasses
Can you get one with extra battery added
We’re can I buy this
Do they deliver to all the world? Because I am in the Middle East and I want to order it
When I got the protection thing for Facebook the gave me three, one in its own package and two in a different box
2:07 I no longer have to take it off to let the dog in and out. I'm sold.
Yes!
where can you buy them?
I just got this strap, and it definitely is a huge upgrade over the standard strap. My only problem is that the main feature I got this for, the being able to pop it up and down, doesn't quite work for me. When I have it tightened correctly and I try to lift it up, it just jabs into my forehead. I have to loosen the crank before I am able to lift it up and then it sits awkwardly on my head. I really wanted this feature as flipping the visor up was one of the most useful features of other headsets like the Vive Cosmos.
Is there some way that I'm not doing that makes this feature easier to handle? It looks so effortless in your video but I'm just having a rough time at it.
Hmmm that's interesting! It's a bit tight to move it, but no issues. Make sure the strap is full seated on your head
Same problem with me. Maybe it's related to headshape?
i never know what to get since i hear so many things about elite straps, all i know is for sure im not getting the official oculus. I might just get this elite strap design.
I have a question, Is there room on the Kiwi elite strap for a battery to go on the back of it?
U might be able to velcro strap one
I haven''t tried the Kiwi but I have the Bobovr M2 Pro which might be what you're looking for. Incredibly comfortable and has an integrated battery pack. It is a halo style strap so it doesn't need to clamp onto your face with a lot of tension.
I know this was a year ago and I'm not tryna brag but my birthday is this month and I was gonna buy the normal elite strap and I saw this I'ma be honest I saw all of the elite straps breaking but when you mentioned kiwi I saw kiwi heaestrap before but since it's more durable and cheaper I'ma buy it I already know it's gonna be comfortable so I can't wait considering my normal strap is kinda broken and the facial interface I'ma buy another one though but I'ma finish the vid now
FYI the KiWi nose blocker isn't at all effective for my face shape, going from a rift s to Q2 it's a shock how much light gets in via the nose
Looks nice, but - it doesn’t have the battery built in, which I really like.
Just ordered mine I just bought a quest 2 about a week ago and I can’t stand the original strap spend more time adjusting it than playing hopefully this will be a great fix!
right on, ull love it!
Same but I got mine like 3 weeks ago
Finally getting the strap after waiting for it on backorder forever
I just ordered one because I couldn’t handle the pain from it.
@@joshuafergusonrc7939 yeah dude the original strap sucks but I’ve had mine a year now and have had no problems with it so far👌
I got a HUGE head and it fits great.
I was wondering, do you have a recommendation for full body vr for the quest 2, i have tried driver4vr but it's very bad.
Sorry I don't have the money to buy such an invention!
Recommended Link cable is not working. Can you please fix it?
KDES has padding on the top
I have the default head strap, and I'm thinking about getting the elite strap from Kiwi. I have really bad fatigue when wearing the default head strap, so this is a good option.
no i dont buy it its has bad quality the killer feature is usless because the headstrap cant hold the vr try somethign else but this is what i think about kiwi
also probably paid video
@@uricot It has 11 thousand 5 star reviews on Amazon. I bought it myself and it's extremely more comfortable than the Q2 default strap. The quality isn't bad, though it does seem use plastic for the straps on both sides of the VR, but it's very flexible and its bends more freely. It's also good at holding the headset firmly in place you're wearing it with the ultimate most comfort and its alot more durable than the elite strap that Oculus released
@@blueish5063 idk, just doesnt work for me, it cant hold on the head when im playing
kiwi has a great headstrap and all, it even makes it feel more realistic, which has in turn made me feel more nauseous during games like rec room or gorilla tag, not so much Beatsaber tho
How does that work for people wearing glasses?
1:16 for some reason, mine doesn't snap into place. It does go in to the place but doesn't snap in, so it falls out quite easily
I just purchased these and im just waiting for the arrival and by these comments I bet this is going to be one of my best purchases
naiice!
What site did he use to buy this
can someone help me, the strap isnt going through the hole where it should go its getting stuck
My oculus one broke..2 different ones.. junk.. I'm waiting on this one now in the mail. Nice video
Nice have fun, but enjoy responsibly
Yeah imma have to get these
Yes!
Link to strap (and the website itself) doesn't work.
I had flip up mechanism on my WMR headset, but it was making it come off the face a little when looking down. Does the same issue exist with this one?
Not really
@@JSyntax ok, thanks. mine arrives today :)
Does the back plate ever slide up? I just tried the KRX headstrap and sent it back because the backplate of the headstrap would slide up my head (I have long hair), and it wouldn't sit securely.
No issues for me!
When you use this with games thay use a lot of movement does it move or does it stay still?
It's still! Much better than default strap
What cases work with the Kiwi Strap without having to remove the back rest or remove the straps from the device?
I would just velcro strap a battery to it on the backside no big deal and it should be comfortable oh nevermind you're referring to cases to carry your Oculus Quest I thought you meant charges. Unfortunately I'm not sure about this I have asked them for help for help on this
I received mine 2 weeks agao after wasting money on 'cheaper' chinese alternatives - would never buy the Oculus strap due to continuing reliability concerns - and it's worth every single penny. I can now use my Q2 literally for hours without a hint of discomfort - for me, generally around the rear of my head - plus, as you say, it looks 1st class!
It's so good, thanks for sharing
i got the upgraded kiwi link cabble and when i try to connect to pcvr its loads for 2 seconds than goees back to oculus home page help please
does it pass the usb quest test?
@@JSyntax yes it says its connected
