KIWI design H4 Boost Comfort Battery Head Strap Accessories for Meta/Oculus Quest 3/3S, Dual Fast Charge The VR Headset and Battery Strap in 2.5h, Halo Strap Reduce Facial Pressure, Not for Quest 2

This KIWI design H4 Boost Comfort battery head strap has been a noticeable upgrade for my Meta Quest 3 use. If you’ve ever felt the stock strap get uncomfortable or pulled forward during longer sessions, this accessory tackles that issue head-on and adds real value with the integrated battery. The first thing you feel is the comfort improvement. The halo-style design redistributes weight away from the face and forehead and shifts a lot of it toward the back of your head. That reduces facial pressure in a way that’s immediately noticeable compared to the standard strap. For play sessions longer than 30–45 minutes, that added comfort makes a difference — especially with more active or standing games. Build quality feels solid. The materials don’t feel cheap or rattly, and the padding is thick enough to stay comfortable without being bulky or overly warm. The adjustment mechanisms are intuitive, and once you find a fit that works for you, it stays put. It’s clear this wasn’t just thrown together; the design feels intentional and well executed. The battery integration is another strong point. It adds significant extra playtime — I was able to stretch sessions well past what the Quest 3 alone gives me — and it charges relatively quickly, finishing up in about 2.5 hours as advertised. That’s convenient if you want a near overnight charge cycle without fuss. The dual-fast-charge design helps keep downtime minimal, which is exactly what you want when you’re in the middle of something. Installation was straightforward and didn’t feel like wrestling with parts. You clip the Quest into the strap, adjust, and go. Once it’s on, the headset feels balanced and doesn’t pull forward or dig in, which makes a surprisingly big difference in comfort and immersion. I also like that it doesn’t interfere with the headset’s fit or sensors, so everything works just as it should. One thing to note is that this is specifically designed for Quest 3/3S. It’s not compatible with Quest 2, so make sure you’re pairing it with the right headset. Overall, this strap delivers exactly what most people are looking for when they want more comfort and battery life from a VR headset. It’s comfortable, well made, and adds genuine usability to longer sessions. If you use your Quest regularly and want a better fit plus extra playtime, this is an easy five-star accessory.

First off, I will say that no matter what head strap you get, you will have some pressure on your head. The choice is, however, whether you want that pressure mostly on your face (K4) or mostly on your forehead and a little bit on your face (H4)? Personally, I prefer the pressure on my forehead as it is more tolerable for me. That is why I prefer the H4, and returning the K4. With the H4, I feel that I have more adjustment options. Many reviewers stated that the H4 is too loose, especially when compared to the K4, however, I feel that the H4 was plenty stable. Additionally, you can configure this headset to press against your face as well, to give you that K4 feel if you enjoy those super intensive and workout apps. However, for all games I played (shooters mostly) I was able to adjust the H4 with minimal pressure on my face and still able to react quickly and look around quickly in the game without feeling the headset was loose. With the K4 that I used exclusively for about a week, I would get painful pressure on my cheeks within about 20-30 minutes. This also affected my ability to close one eye when aiming snipers and would fatigue my face rather quickly. This happened even when I tried to put as much pressure as possible on the top strap of the K4 to shoulder as much of the load as possible. I do appreciate though that the K4 has a more "integrated" charging cable, where the H4 cable pretty much just goes from the battery pack to the Quest externally. But this is such a minor detail that has no affect when the headset is on. Another win for the H4 is that you are able flip up the headset without any adjustments and see your surroundings when in a game, something that you cannot do in the K4 as the pressure on your face is what keeps the Quest on. The battery seems to be the same on both, and adds about 2-3 more hours to the headset for a total of about 4-5 hours. Another positive (for both the H4 and K4) is that the charging input is at the back and bottom of the head strap making it easier to enjoy the Quest 3 while charging, as opposed to coming out the side of the Quest 3. Ultimately, I personally feel the halo style head strap is much more comfortable, allowing for longer play sessions without much discomfort.

Solid Upgrade — Lightweight, Comfortable, and Extra Playtime If you’re looking to take your Meta Quest 3 setup to the next level, this headset with a built-in battery is a strong choice. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and overall, I’m really happy with it — especially when it comes to comfort, freedom of movement, and cutting the cord (literally). Let’s start with the best part: the built-in battery. Being able to charge the Quest while I play without being tethered to the wall is a total game changer. I used to hate being locked in one spot or worrying about tripping over a cord when things got intense. With this headset, I can move freely, spin around, duck, dodge, whatever the game throws at me — all without dragging a wire behind me. It really does make a big difference in immersion and convenience. The headset itself is surprisingly lightweight. I was worried that the added battery would make it top-heavy or uncomfortable, but it fits well and stays secure. Even during more active games where I’m moving a lot, it doesn’t slip or shift. I forget I even have it on sometimes, which is probably the biggest compliment I can give in terms of comfort. As for the battery life, it’s decent. It’s not as long as I had hoped, which is why I’m giving it four stars instead of five. That said, it still extends my play sessions by a good margin, and just having that buffer between full Quest battery and plugging into a wall makes a noticeable difference. It’s perfect for those longer sessions when you’re right in the middle of a game and don’t want to break the flow. Bottom line: if you’re tired of dealing with cords and want something that adds both comfort and convenience to your VR experience, this headset is worth picking up. The battery might not last forever, but the freedom it gives you while playing is absolutely worth it. I wouldn’t go back to the standard strap after this.

Comfortable, a must to extend your battery life.

Great balance and just has the headset float in front of your face whihc is really nice.. The only thing that I didnt think about was sitting back or laying down and how the halo battery would impact that. But overall VERY comfortable.

The H4 Boost strap is decent but not the best. My expectations for battery life and charging performance were not met. The Quest 3 often displays a message asking to use the original charger, which suggests the strap doesn't deliver enough power to keep the headset fully charged during use. That was disappointing. In terms of ergonomics, the strap does add some weight. To get a good fit, I sometimes have to tighten it more than I'd like, which shifts the pressure from the face to the forehead. That said, it is more comfortable overall for work or productivity sessions, and the design looks clean and well-built. One positive feature is the charging passthrough, which works very well. However, I would have really appreciated a removable battery system like the one BoboVR offers. I would've return this but I’m now traveling and returning the product isn’t practical. A rather odd issue I've noticed is eye discomfort, particularly in my left eye, when using the facial interface with this strap. I never had that problem with the original strap. Interestingly, removing the facial interface makes the discomfort go away. I'm still trying to figure out the cause. Despite its flaws, I do recommend the H4 Boost if you're looking for a more ergonomic strap at a fair price. It’s not perfect, but it's a decent upgrade over the original, especially for work focused use.

I’m a long time fan of KIWI products for my Quest devices. Unfortunately a piece broke off when adjusting this strap on my headset, and I contacted KIWI customer support right away. They were very kind to send a replacement right away, I couldn’t have asked for better support! Thank you KIWI!!

Tried a few different ones and this is by far the most comfortable. It takes all the weight off of your face
