Kiwi Design On-Ear AUDIO Elite Strap for Quest 2 Review
90In this video, I check out the Kiwi design On-Ear Audio Elite Strap for Quest 2. You can buy this head strap for $59.99 from Amazon US ➡️ https://amzn.to/3fy8IWX, £69.99 from Amazon UK ➡️ https://amzn.to/3zAVCiM, and €89.99 from Amazon DE ➡️ https://amzn.to/3DVn0ul. Or $79.99 direct from the Kiwi design store ➡️ https://bit.ly/kiwiaudiostrap.
This audio strap from Kiwi design takes the best of its upgraded elite strap and integrates some rather well-designed and decent-sounding headphones into it.
Sally at this time of recording this audio strap is sold with a limited run of 50 pieces, which are all obviously sold out. There is no news on whether Kiwi is going to update or change the design from some of the feedback they’ve received or whether they’re just gonna roll out more units of this same strap soon, but I thought I’ll leave you my review so that when it does come in stock you can jump in and order yourself one, knowing that you’re gonna get a great adjustable and comfortable elite head strap with a very comfortable and decent sounding audio solution integrated into it.
As long as you hold the headset as you tilt the head strap down onto the back of your head afterwards, there were no issues with the earphones moving when you adjust the head strap, however, if I was the nitpick, I would say they should have done something a little bit neater with the audio cable. Potentially it could have used a thinner or flat ribbon to allow for easy storing underneath or behind the facial interface foam cover, or generally make it easier to tuck it away from being so easily seen, because its current size does feel like a little bit of an afterthought and it hasn’t really had that much design put into it as the rest of the strap has had, so it all flaps around loosely and it doesn’t look as neat as Logitech’s solution.
Finally, there is the issue with storing your Quest 2 and the fact that this head strap is so much wider that it will no longer fit in an official case or any case that is dedicated to an elite head strap, so you have to look for a larger case that can accommodate the full width of this head strap.
But these are small gripes, and this head strap is generally a fantastic addition to anyone looking for a comfortable elite strap, as well as enhancing its audio in one single product. For $79.99, I think that’s a relatively decent price and maybe in the future, we might see their battery strap get integrated with this audio solution for the ultimate Quest 2 Elite Strap.
