It’s also worth noting that Facebook’s Elite Straps have a reputation for snapping and, although my kit from October 2020 is still going on strong, who knows if the added weight of the VR Power 2 could accelerate that process for some. VR Power 2 Review – Final Impressions But, here’s the thing, I didn’t find using the VR Power 2 with the standard strap to significantly improve the comfort of the Quest 2 overall. I still ended up having all the same reservations I had in my original Quest 2 review, and could only play for about an hour or so before the weight on my face became too much. An extra 6 hours of battery life doesn’t really mean much if you can’t even wear the thing for a fraction of that time but, if you’ve never had a problem with the standard strap, that option will likely work nicely for you. Keeps my headset "charged" while using it standalone. I haven't exactly timed it, but it seems to be around 6-7 hours before this battery dies and the HMD is forced to rely on its own battery. I say "charged" because I do wait a moment before starting the battery.

Today we’re taking a look at a few external battery options for your Oculus Quest to get yourself more hours of play time without the need to constantly recharge your headset! Easy to Use] – Simply snap the pouch buttons together and plug in the USB cable. You're good to go! I was a little concerned with the design of the USB A end of the charging cord, looking a little like someone removed the outer covering of the USB housing leaving the internals exposed. But after closer examination I can see that this means that unlike standard USB A connectors, this one can be inserted at any angle rather than only in one. Meaning that you won't have to twist the cord to get it at the right angle to insert.All the previous recommendations were assuming that you either use the default Quest 2 head strap or you have a replacement strap for better comfort. If you don’t belong to either category, the BOBOVR M2 Pro strap with battery for the Meta Quest 2 should be on your wishlist. It gives you extra endurance and better comfort too. Anker uses PowerIQ and VoltageBoost, technology that is exclusive to Anker, which boosts the speed at which it can charge any item, including the Quest. Of course, the Quest is designed to be played while being charged, the high speed of this charger helps to ensure your gameplay continues smoothly. Personally, I get the most comfortable Quest 2 experience with the FrankenQuest mod which uses the HTC Vive Deluxe Audio Strap. I think both of Facebook’s Elite Straps are good, but not quite as snug as that mod. But with the extra weight of the VR Power 2, wearing the Elite Strap was the most comfortable I’ve been on Quest 2 outside of using my FrankenQuest, and the first time I’ve genuinely considered making a permanent swap. So, out of the box, the battery was at 28, which isn't a problem at all. My Oculus was at 61%, but I figured lets hook everything up and see how it goes.

Simply tab the pouch buttons, plug in the USB cable, and you’re good to go.The VR Power 2 itself finally died after a straight 6 hours and 10 minutes of A Township Tale. I then still had the entire standard Quest 2 battery life left. Needless to say, I had to cancel my plans for the day. It's amazing that now I can play 8 hours straight with nothing morr than a red face when I come out. My headache now comes from staring at the screen, NOT from the front heavy Quest itself, thanks to doubling as a counterweight.
