FYI it's not healthy to keep any lithium battery at 100%. I would suggest allowing the quest battery discharge to 50% or less then connect the battery strap to charge up the quest to continue playing.
I also own this battery headstrap, 2-3 months in, nothing wrong with it, everything just works AND it is very comfy and easy to put on
Love this honest, practical review! Subscribed!
I also bought a Battery strap from KiWi recently, but mainly because I already liked their comfort strap from Quest 2.
Really Comfortable, can only recommend
The kiwi battery strap is awesome. Easy to install. Way better balanced and comfortable.
How much added battery life does it give?? I am planning to get one!
@@nitupsar he said on the video how much
Hey man, great review. Not sure if i missed it (kinda tired) but how long would it take this thing to fully loaded both if empty or close to beeing empty? Greetings
Finally a released in UK. Thanks man getting this for sure
I've had mine for 2 weeks and don't want to be without it anymore
Is keeping it at 100% a good idea in the long run though? Wouldn't it be better to keep it at 80% to extend battery life?
Thanks for the review! What great product, ive ordered the spc strap and stand combo but the delivery is delayed till the 8th Jan. Im more than happy to wait though 👍
LOVE THIS!! Coming from psvr & psvr2, being able to play hours & hours on end i really never thought about battery consumption. But this battery issue with quest 3 is incredibly annoying. Insane meta pulled products for the quest 3 because they didnt work. Does the kiwi design charging stand stop charging when the battery strap and headset are charged?
Maybe I'm missing something. At the 7:15 mark in your video, it shows a connector coming from the battery that seems to have a pass-thru of some sort. You mentioned in this configuration, you can charge both the battery and the Quest 3. My battery strap (Kiwi) only has a little right-angle USB to round 3-pin connector. Doesn't look anything like the one in your video. Can I purchase that connector somewhere? When I look at the link you provided for the SPC Battery Strap, it's now unavailable. The one I purchased was the KIWI design Comfort Battery Head Strap 6400mAh Compatible with Meta Quest 3 Accessories Battery Pack Pressure Free Counterweight Battery Design from Amazon.
If you just have this head strap without the stand, I take it you can charge both the battery in the Quest and the head strap by just connecting a USB-C to the head strap at the back? Do you know if doing this would keep both the head strap and Quest battery fully charged while playing?
If you plug into the battery it can probably stay charged if your charger cord & base are high power. But plugging 2 cables charges faster if you’re done playing
My biggest question is can you still put in a dongle for your headphones ?
can you still connect via link cable while the battery pack is plugged in?
I've been using the Aubika battery strap and it works fine too. Keeps my quest 3 going and no weird buzzing :D
Does the aubika battery strap charge when docked on the official meta quest 3 charging dock?
@@dbean2321 no idea, I'm afraid :o
I went and checked it out, does it have foam on the back? It doesn’t seem so though which is shame
@@hotarukoyuki2222 Nope, it just has the same sort of rubber 'cup' as the official elite strap.
Does this have pass through with the Link Cable
Does this transfer data and charge are same time???
Will battery in this strep be automatically charged on metas official charging dock? If not is there one that will charge with it? I got the M3 bobovr strap but it doesn’t charge the battery which makes the docking station useless as I now have to things to charge.
I printed out a 20k battery bank holder for a amazon elite strap. I can go all day. It draws from the battery bank when I play when off it charges and its a great counter weight.
the elite strap is uncomfortable
Can you use the USB port on the strap as a data port? Like e.g. on 4xvr to play a movie from an external drive?
No because that port goes through a battery which doesn't have any way to transfer data
If you don’t have the stand how do you charge the battery pack and the headset at the same time can someone help?
Does this kiwi battery strap charge when used with the official meta quest 3 dock?
Hi maye just got mine 2day played 3 hours straight quest battery stayed at 100% , head strap battery went from 4 to 1 light . When I put the quest bk on the dock the light stayed green , what I’m wondering do u fink it would be better to recharge the headstrap independently as the quest is fully charged could this not damage the battery in the long run any thoughts?
How does it fell in term of comfort compared to the Kiwi comfort strap? I don’t need the extra battery
what about bobovr m3 strap i wanna know before i get my quest 3 so i know what to get
Mate, your link for the battery strap takes me to the quest 2 battery strap. Which is not powerfull enough for quest 3.
How about comfort when leaning your head back into a chair or pillow?
Question about the Charging Stand does it come with that Magnetic Adapter that makes contact with the magnetic piece on the dock? and does that Magnetic adapter have a spot to plug in an external USB-C battery headset cable to?
It is a USB C port on the side, the rubber adapter with the magnet plugs into that, then there is a USB C adapter with the magnets that you can leave in your headset so when you are finished you can just stick it on the stand.
@@ItsSamuelJones does that charge the battery on the strap too?
@@kctrevoryes!
Hi, do you recommend some accessories to play 🎾 tennis or table tennis games ? Thanks
I would like something for billiards pools games too .
Sorry my English
Thanks
Has anyone had trouble with getting the Kiwi battery head strap to charge? Getting the quest itself to charge doesn’t take that long, but when I have the head strap plugged in to charge, it’s taking forever. After an hour it still just shows one steady light and a second light flashing. It hasn’t increased at all. Am I missing something? I’m not using the charging stand, just a regular outlet.
Just want you to know my shipment is underway i bought the combination kit directly from kiwi. Im really hyped
I love my Kiwi battery pack and dock. the only issue i have, is because i have a big ass head i have to move in the strap when docking. i wish that i could extend the back piece that hold it. so i wouldnt have to keep adjusting.
Question about the strap. Am I supposed to plug the strap in and it keeps the headset at 100% or do I let the headset get low on battery then let the strap charge it back up?
From what I'm hearing elsewhere you should plug the strap in when headset is over 80% battery, and let it keep the headset at 100%. This sounds like the fix for the buzzing issue.
@@NWRIBronco6what
Great video. Just one question: How would you compare this to a Vive DAS "Frankenquest" setup with an extra power pack on the back?
I've got a DAS already, but it's seen better days. The sound on the Quest 3 seems good enough I don't really need the headphones anymore, so I'm torn between replacing it with another of the same or going with the Kiwi for that nifty charging port.
Does the dock include cable adapter for battery strap, or does the battery strap include adapter for dock?
@spydog1462 I got in touch with Kiwi support and got the answer I was looking for. Turns out the battery strap featured in this video is a new one they're going to begin selling in January. Looks like I'll need to purchase a new strap once that one comes out. It would be a lot more convenient.
@spydog1462 oh dang, I didn't know this. I'll get in touch with them!
The charging dock comes with a USB-C adapter for headset, and the SPC Battery Head Strap has build-in adapter for the dock allows you charge both headset and strap battery on the dock
using the official charging station while battery pack plugged in will allow both headset and battery to charge right?
Thats correct according the their website. Great design 👌
Can anyone confirm if buzzing is still an issue? Bought my son a Aubika battery strap which works well but would like something different for my quest 3
Sorry for the late reply. No the buzzing is no longer an issue, Turns out it was actually a software problem but meta rolled out an update about a month or two ago to solve it.
I've paired this with the amvr facial interface and they are amazing!
I've also tried other straps as well as the bobo m3 and this is hands down the best combo
I use the same combo
@@ItsSamuelJones it's great quality. I've actually tried a different brand of this style and it was just cheap and light feeling.
no pressure on face when kiwi combined with amvr facial?
also does quest link work plugging into battery
i can't handle the elite strap type i prefer the halo , so to fix my charging problem i got a cheap halo strap with lots of cushening and the binbok 8000mah battery strap and i frankensteined the binbok back part onto the halo strap front ......it was easy i just unscrewed the middle hinges and just mix and matched the parts together :) so the result is the best charging halo strap on the market lol.
Err. Looking for a halo head strap that can keep my quest 3 charged. Bobo still haven’t upgraded there battery
Just wondering, how would it be wearing headphones with this? the top head strap looks kind of thick so I'm not too sure about it. I'm looking into getting a quest 3 and I have Sony xm5's that I would like to use with the headset. Would I be better just getting some earbuds?
Have you tried?
which is better, bobo or kiwi?
When the your charging the battery, when its full does it then charge the headset?
Headset charges first, then strap
thank you, just picked one of these up :) cant wait to get he loooooong sessions going.......In walkabout golf hahaha@@ItsSamuelJones
What if I already have the Meta Quest 3 dock, Is this battery head strap compatible with the Quest 3 dock and would it also charge the head strap battery?
It would charge the headset but not the strap as it uses the pins under the headset instead of the USB C port
@@ItsSamuelJones Ahh that's a shame.
Thank you for replying, I appreciate it.
Are the batteries removeable or are you expected to buy multiple headstraps for long play time? or once that battery dies you have to buy a whole new headstrap? Love the original kiwi headstrap but if that battery is built in then this is a waste of time when they have straps now that charge better than this and have hotswap batteries.
How long does it take to charge both of them with the stand that comes with the strap?
relatively long. only got it fully charged over night, but could also use it the whole day with pauses on the charging stand. But you can also directly charge the battery on the back, it also has it's own socket. With a power bank for the back and the normal stand charge it charged from 25% to 100% in about 2 hours
How does this strap fit in the official quest 3 case?
Yeah do you know?
I bought the Zyber one with the battery. Works great.
It's that 6 hours and then the quest battery starts being used? Or is that the total between the two?
Total
Just got the bundle and i noticed the battery pack in the back does not charge when i set my headset down it just blinks i left it for 5 hours and was still at 2 dots while my headset was at 100%
You probably have an issue with the strap. Maybe contact kiwi design
Your description links to the Quest 2 battery strap for me, not the Quest 3, I'm in the UK if that matters
Yeah sorry. Sometimes the link get a bit broken for people outside US. I’ll try and add a Uk one
Im confused as I am also in the UK, but the link you put to Amazon 🇬🇧 is saying its for the Quest 2. And in the questions, and answers people are saying I does not fit the Quest 3??
Amd that a Q3 version is in the works.
But you are using the linked verson on your quest 3?
I see you dont answer a lot of questions, and Uunderstand. But if someone could give some feedback, it would be appreciated. (great Vid BTW.) 👍🏻
Does it have passthrough charging or do you have to charge it separately
charges both at the same time!
@@ItsSamuelJones really that's great. The annoying thing about the bobovr is having to charge separately.
Hey I'm just letting you and everyone know the battery strap you have linked is not the one you are showing in the video. You have the regular battery pack linked and not the one with magnetic cable. This could lead people to buying the wrong thing and creating some really disappointed viewers! Please fix this 🙏
That actually just happened to me, I looked all over Amazon for this strap and couldn’t seem to find it.
@Rusa_Azavayl as of now it seems you can only get it directly from their official website sadly
So you mean the right one is the SPC battery strap?
I’ll change it
@@ItsSamuelJonesthank you!
What would you recommend? This kiwi strap or the bobo M3?
That's a great question that stays unanswered for me as well. I'm searching for the answer on the internet but I have no luck so far.
Mine is coming tomorrow, so excited for it. The factory head-strap is absolutely garbage
And the cover for round your face hurts it's brutal...
Is this still the best battery head strap for the meta 3 ? Thanks in advance!
best I've tried but I'm yet to try the BoboVR S3.
Does this have pass through with the Link Cable
Does this transfer data and charge are same time???
Unfortunately I'm not a fan of pro head straps. They cause my headphones not to fit. I opted for halo style straps because of that.
I'm sold,
This charging strap doesnt work with quest 3 (using his link), Kiwi said quest 2 only
Sorry if you've said this but does it charge the controllers?
No 😢
Link is to strap with no battery. looks like battery version not yet stocked/available on Amazon
Depends on location. may not be available on Amazon in UK. I'll add the Kiwi link.
Thx
So beyond frustrated right now. I ordered the stand and battery strap at the same time from their amazon page with the picture of the strap on the stand. Stand arrived first, love it so much. But when the strap arrived, I was confused why the strap's plug wasn't the magnet I saw in the video. I'm gutted I made such a simple mistake that I'll be reminded of each time the strap runs out of battery. No seamless charging for me :( Obviously it was my fault, but I think Kiwi needs to have a little more advertisement for which type of battery strap you're buying. Just a sad man ranting. Thanks for the video, products fit and look great..... but :(
I'm of the belief that it shouldn't take 5 minutes to start talking about the video titles topic.
He was talking about the stand more than the actual product title
If he wanted to talk about the dock, he should title it as so
Ye
If only there were timestamps that you could utilize to skip to the section that you want
I'll give you credit there but I am unsure that they were there when the post was made
i was gonna just buy the head strap and controller grips but i think you’ve sold me on the charging station now too lol
How is the weight loss going? Watching your weight loss video, thinking the same method, as a dad I don’t have much time and I hate going to the gyms.
Clicked on the video to see the head strap. Talks about a stand for 2 minutes.
Is the 6 hours battery life just the strap itself or is it the strap and headset combined?
Either way 6 hours is pretty good.
Total. an additional ~4 hours to the quest's ~2
@@ItsSamuelJones Thank you.
its comfy but the battery charges waaaaay to slow. 10watts... takes hours to charge.
Too bad the base doesn't include rechargeable controller batteries and able to charge them with the base, not good enough unfortunately.
My cheap battery headstrap with a 6000 mHa battery charges my Q3, is comfortable and I don't hear any buzzing. Using it already a few weeks. Batterydrain of my Q3 is there but very slow... this week I used the Q3 four hours: 1 hour Beatsaber, 1 hour Asgard's Wrath and a few movies.... the Q3 was still full, the battery was at 15% - it has a digital display). Cost? Around 20$!
What strap is it?
@@Malieus Brandname Vanpower, most likely a Chinese brand... bought it online via my online shop (it only says "overseas".)
What strap plz
@@murdermelon6103 Already answered that question...
No you didn't...? I don't see a mention of it
Yay first like :)
The fact that this gives the headstrap 6 hours is crazy personally I’m not too bothered about getting a battery strap bc the basic battery if the m3 is around 2 hrs and I can’t play vr for more than 1.5 hours 😶 otherwise I throw up, but I’m debating getting this bc it looks comfortable
Are u very new to VR ? When I started the first hour was hard to get through but after 2 weeks of daily use it went completely away.
Nah I’ve had my vr headset for over 2 years and I tend to use it 4-5 times a week but I just get rlly bad motion sickness after prolonged periods of time whilst on it
Try tunneling. Its made a world of a difference for me. I could play like 4 hours comfortably if not longer
What tunnelling
@@B0BTheMonkey most vr games will let you turn on tunneling. It reduces your field of view when moving. It fixes motion sickness
yooooooooooooooo 6 hours
yo
Waddup
Thank you for not showing how to connect the fucking head strap threading the thing through is my only issue
Make sure the face guard is off and wiggle wiggle
yo
yo
Get to the point holy shit
very disappointment, no mention of a PC link one way or the other . . . .
But why is the stand so ugly?
It has the buzzing and it's really annoying. You're not gonna notice it while listening to music and chatting with others but once you need to concentrate during a battle in Onward you will notice that your ears are about to bleed.
I genuinely hate reviews from paid advertisers. Who knows if this is actually good because he would just lie since he’s being paid to sell this. So we literally just watched a long advertisement and not a review
Wasn’t paid for this.
And yeah it is pretty good 😂
Also I have turned down the opportunity to review things if they disagree with me being honest even if they would pay me. If someone pays me it is for exposure and not for a positive review.
@@ItsSamuelJonesyou got me, I’ll try it! Lol thanks for the disclosure
I wanted to see about the strap not all the other crap you talk about at the beginning. I won’t be watching anymore
I'm confused, is there another version of the battery strap? I have the battery strap, but the connector for it is the traditional USB-C that plugs into the Quest 3. Does that mean I won't be able to use the strap and the stand at the same time?
Oh dear. I don't know. maybe contact Kiwi design and see if they can let you know. I was under the impression this was the standard.
@@ItsSamuelJones I did, actually. It seems this is a new strap they're going to start selling sometime in January that comes with a connector compatible with the dock. I'll have to re-buy my battery strap because this would be a lot better than having to charge it separate to the Quest while on the stand.
Ya, in the exact same boat, my strap from your link purchased has a traditional USB-C connector, kinda bummed as cannot duplicate what you were promoting
Hey, do you know of a carrying/storage case that will fit with this battery headset?
