When I was considering upgrading to an “elite” head strap, I didn’t necessarily want to spend $ 50 on the official Oculus Elite head strap. I was looking for a bundle that combined several accessories, but this one is from Esimen and includes a nice case. So far, after a month of use, everything has been well maintained.

Another version of this is Amazon’s Masiken brand.. It looks the same and costs about the same.

When playing training games such as Thrill of the Fight, Fitness VR, The Climb and The Climb 2, and Beat Saber, I wanted to take on a little more challenge, so I considered getting some wearable weights. From my research, I found that weighted gloves are the way, not the weight of the wrists. Keep in mind that these must be done at your own risk (which can cause injuries), but it does increase the intensity of your training.

Each glove only adds a pound of weight, which is more than you think. They fit nicely inside the controller.

You can certainly play with Oculus 2 with your glasses on, but it’s more comfortable not to. That’s where the set of prescription lens inserts comes in.

Oculus has partnered with FramesDirect to offer such Rx inserts, with Virtu Clear lens inserts starting at $ 80. There are other VRRx lens insert options.

Many Oculus games are designed to sweat. Therefore, it is advisable to get a silicone or synthetic leather face cover that can be easily wiped off after each game session. I bought this Vukoo bundle. The bundle also includes a set of controller grips and lens protection cover (it is important to protect the lens from the sun and be knocked). Everything fits nicely and works fine so I have no complaints.

I also found this Veer bundle Front protector cover is also included $ 20.. It might actually be a better deal as it contains less, but I’ve never tried it, so I’m not sure.

Oculus Quest 2 has some amazingly realistic table tennis games (I play) 11 table tennis). But if you want to take it to the next level and add more realism, you can turn your Oculus Quest 2 controller into a real ping-pong paddle with paddle grip accessories. The weight balance is a bit different from the actual paddle, but it’s far enough to give you the feeling you actually have. It’s a bit hardcore, but it’s a must-have if you play a lot of virtual table tennis.

You can use corded headphones with the Oculus Quest 2, but there are some official “Oculus-enabled” headsets, such as Logitech’s G Pro gaming headset for the Oculus Quest 2. It looks sturdy and is comfortable as an over-ear headphone. With memory foam ear pads that passively block ambient noise. You’ll get a short cord designed for Oculus Quest 2 with a bell cross trip and other cord accessories that will allow you to use your Oculus Quest headset with your PC or other gaming console. The boom microphone is removable.

I’ve focused a little more on the elements of comfort-and wearing these during a workout VR game will raise the temperature of your head a bit-but they sound good as well.

If you’re looking for a more comfortable gaming experience, we recommend upgrading to the “elite” strap. This is the official Oculus version. Personally, I bought the imitation Esimen that came with the case for about the same price (see above). That’s ok, but some people want the official version, and this is it.

If you don’t want to wear full-size headphones during playback, the Logitech G333 earphones are for you. It also comes with a custom short cord (and velcro strap) designed for Oculus headsets.

The cord that connects to the right bud is long, so attach it to the back of your neck. This allows you to keep the cord hanging even if you don’t have buds in your ears. It’s not very flashy when it comes to earphones, but the cord is rugged, overall rugged, and designed for use with the Oculus Quest 2. A tight seal will give you a solid sound (includes several different sized tips).

The Oculus Quest 2 Anker Charging Dock sounds exactly like that. A resting place when you’re not using the Oculus 2 head unit and controller, it includes a rechargeable battery for the controller, a USB-C cable and a power adapter (plug the cable into the dock).

The dock also comes with a small magnetic USB-C adapter that connects to the USB-C port on your Oculus headset. Then dock the head unit and the built-in magnetic charger will connect to the adapter.

I was able to charge the head unit with the elite head strap, but I have to remove the grip of the controller to charge it.

I haven’t tried this combination of accessories yet, but it’s been well received by Amazon and seems to be a good way to connect an external battery (not included) for long gameplay sessions.

There is a magnetic docking area on the back of the comfort strap. Simply attach the adhesive metal plate to the external battery and the battery will attach to the comfort strap.

If you’re looking for an external battery to connect to your headset to get more juice, this 10,000mAh Aukey is a good option for $ 20. You will have to figure out how to attach it to your headset. I made a DIY mount with a magnet attached to the back of the knockoff of the elite head strap, and attached an adhesive plate to the battery. It worked. Magnets are your friend when it comes to mounting. (Like all other Aukey products on Amazon, this is Currently not available It’s there, but you can buy it directly from the link below. )
