Play Meta Quest 2 in the Dark | KKCOBVR O2Pro IR 10000mAh Battery Strap Review
79In this video, I check out the KKCOBVR O2Pro IR 10,000mAh Battery Strap. You can buy this head strap for $69.99 from AliExpress ➡️ https://bit.ly/kkcobvrq2pro, $79.99 from Amazon US ➡️ https://amzn.to/3fw2aIm, £99.99 from Amazon UK https://amzn.to/3fj0r9z, from Amazon ES ➡️ https://amzn.to/3SSSUvF, and also $130.47 from Amazon CA ➡️ https://amzn.to/3D9RKpC.
This Elite style head strap for the Quest 2 features a large 10,000mAh swappable battery, meaning its rear weight also makes this head strap well counterbalanced, it’s hinged at the sides to make it easy to remove and put on the headset, and it has a padded velcro top strap, and finally, it also features a built-in IR light to help use your Quest 2 in poorly lit areas of up to 50 square metres.
My time with this strap was positive. I didn’t get any discomfort from the strap over long periods of use. The battery at the back makes the whole strap well counterbalanced and the small micro adjustments of the dial at the back offer the ability to get the right tightness. The foam top strap is a simple addition that goes a long way, adding additional comfort to the strap, and because the rear rubber pad matches the size of the official strap, you can pick up a rear foam pad from VR Cover to enhance the strap’s comfort even more.
Due to the side hinges not locking below the horizontal line, can affect the strap’s overall rigidity, but it does make it easier to fit into more cases. The ability to remove the battery also helps it fit in more cases than some other bulkier battery straps, as it only takes up as much weight as the official Elite strap, so many cases out there should fit this strap.
I don’t play Quest 2 much in the dark or in dimly lit rooms, but I did test this strap’s IR out in poor and no light in the room and the Quest 2 was able to be used as if I had daylight or the room light on. So if you prefer to play in such conditions this strap might be for you.
Even if you don’t use the IR emitter, the additional second power cable can also come in handy with some other Quest 2 accessories, such as anti-fogging fans like their K2 defogging facial interface, which I will be reviewing soon on this channel, or a pair of USB-C-powered headphones.
I tried a few headphones with this head strap, and even with its side clip on, all the over-ear headphones I tried fitted ok, with a few minor adjustments to get the foam underneath the side rails.
As fitting in cases goes. With the battery pack removed it fitted in the official Quest 2 case without any issues, and it also fits inside the more compact Kiwi design case too, both had plenty of room for the battery pack and any additional ones you would want to carry too.
Considering its price, this 10,000mAh battery strap from KKCOBVR is a bargain if you’re looking for comfort, and long playtime and want the IR functionality or the means to power second accessories on your Quest 2. Sadly its full motion hinge point lets it down a little for me, but if you can work around this feature, the Q2 Pro is a decent Elite-style battery strap for the Quest 2.
