Best Meta Quest 2 Accessories for 2024 [CNET]
Since it was discontinued, Meta Quest 2 accessories are getting cheaper — and going out of stock themselves. Below, you’ll find our top picks for the best Meta Quest 2 accessories and bundles made to offer you the most immersive VR experience. I’ve tried most of these myself, including the Quest 2 Elite Strap, various carrying cases, a VR mat, wrist straps, prescription lenses, a sweat mask, weighted gloves, external battery packs and a generic Oculus Link VR cable version. A few selections are highly rated by buyers online.

If you’re looking for a little protection for the Quest 2 head unit (yes, people have been known to drop them), a face cover will help. The Kiwi comes in translucent or black colors.

If you’re looking for a more comfortable gaming experience, upgrading to an Elite Strap is the way to go. I initially bought a knockoff Esimen accessories bundle. That’s all been fine, but I will say the official Elite Strap version is superior; it’s not twice as good, but it’s a bit of an upgrade over the knockoff. You just have to pay a premium for it.

If you’re hardcore about your VR gaming, you know that it’s a bummer to have to stop gaming because your battery is dying. That’s where a setup like the Bobovr M2 Plus Head Strap Twin Battery Combo comes in. You get a head strap plus two batteries and a docking station, so you can charge one battery while using the other. It’s one of the best and most ergonomic Quest 2 external battery setups we’ve seen, and it’s a good deal if you’re looking to upgrade the stock Quest 2 head strap and also add some extra battery life.
The batteries dock and adhere magnetically to the back of the head strap and essentially double the battery life of the Quest 2. If you don’t want the dock and second battery, you can buy the base Bobovr M2 rig for a little more than $50 (the batteries also charge via USB-C).
