For today’s review, I am looking at the AUBIKA Excellence Head Strap for Oculus Quest 2 which is priced at under $35 and is already assembled.
This headstrap made of ABS + PC material is for those who don’t want to use the headstrap that comes with the Oculus Quest 2, don’t want to fork out the $49 for the Oculus Elite Strap.
The first thing I will emphasize in this review, before you install this head strap and this is important. DO NOT try to remove the plastic portion on your Oculus Headset 2 that is connected to the device, because those are your headphones for the Oculus and if you snap it, you broke your Oculus Quest 2. So, with that out of the way, let’s get to the main review.
The first step is that you want to remove the goggle portion on the device and then remove your old head strap. Please be careful when removing your old head strap (yes, I am going to emphasize again)!
The head strap is well-made. The strap on the top is velcro like the original headstrap, which goes through the top portion behind the goggle, so you can easily adjust it.
The next step is now to attach the sides to the side portion of the Oculus Quest 2 and they will snap in. Once you get it on, then adjust the head strap and then turn the dial behind your head and that’s it!
It’s fairly easy to install, to use and it works great! Again, just be careful when you remove your oldstrap and if you ever plan to remove this headset. But it fits perfectly on the new Oculus Quest 2 and it works great it preventing floppiness on movement demanding games.
Now what makes this strap different from others is that unlike having a padding at the rear, this head strap uses a curved, flexible head rest. It’s a bit different, as I did prefer the padding which others do have, but some may like this design without the rear pad. But its important to note, the rear head rest is not adjustable, so depending on the shape of your head, that rear portion may be subjective to the individual. After using this head strap for several hours, I am now convinced that this is my new favorite.
Part of the problem of what was my previous favorite, it felt it was starting to put too much pressure behind my head. As where this head strap, there was no pressure but it felt comfortable. I actually like it a lot!
I also like the material used and makes it easy to clean. Unlike the original headstrap which people get sweat on and looks disgusting when you see others that have it dirty and brown. So, another reason to get this head strap!
But with the added accessories that help protect the lenses is great to have and makes the AUBIKA Excellence Head Strap for Oculus Quest 2 a good value, especially at under $35!
