Before purchasing, I was a little concerned about the price: $129 is pretty expensive for a replacement head strap. But is breaks down fairly well. You get a $49 carry case, a $49 Elite Head Strap, and a $31 battery pack. The battery is built in to the head strap and provides not only double the charge for your headset, but also acts as a pretty great counter-balance, making the Quest 2 feel a lot more comfortable.
The good: the head strap is a lot more comfortable than the default cloth one that came with the Quest 2. The ratcheting gear in the back allows quick and easy adjustment that stays where you set it, while the rubber and plastic frame provides stability, comfort and support. The integrated battery provides not only double the charge, but nearly completely counter-balances the headset so it does not feel like there is as much weight strapped to your face. The charge of the battery is also displayed within the headset, so you can keep track of your total charge. The carry case is made out of a strong and durable cloth-covered plastic with a recessed zipper, providing enough room inside for the headset, elite strap, controllers, and charger.
The bad: Top of the list is that the carry case was included; I would have preferred a $79 product with case sold separately. The carry case has a recessed zipper, which is "neat" but has a tendency to get stuck on the USB cable running between the battery and the headset. And while the USB port on the battery can be plugged in allowing you to charge while using it, it does not support Link passthrough. Meaning if you want to use Oculus Link you can't use the extra battery.
Overall I think this is probably a pretty good value for anyone wanting to get the new Elite Strap, and has some extra cash they want to throw at a battery and case. The battery is great for doubling the standard 2-hour play time of the headset, which is great for power gamers and avid VR movie watchers. However if you're not planning to use your headset for more than 2 hours at a time, there's not really a lot of incentive for you to get this. Still treat yourself to the Elite Strap, however. The $49 replacement strap is virtually a game-changer!

Nasty case... Awesome strap.
The case isn't that great. The texture of it reminds me of my 1989 Toyota Tercel trunk lining, that is to say cheap and quite unpleasant feeling. It offers minimal protection so I would definitely recommend if you go anywhere with this to keep it in your backpack. If you're looking for a case that you can just carry around,I am positive you'll find better options on here. If you just need to keep it off your desk or don't want it rattling around loosely in your bag it gets the job done, but just barely.With that out of the way, let's talk about the main star: the strap itself. I had issues with moving around causing the headset to move as well, almost falling off in some cases with the default strap. Not with this. Installation was straightforward, and once I got it on I immediately tried it out. It took some getting used to figuring out the best way of getting it off and on, but what I found out was put the Quest to your face first, slide the band into place and tighten it; doing the reverse to take it off. And when it's on, it goes nowhere.I was worried that with the battery it would be too much weight on my head and cause fatigue, not so. The battery doesn't feel like it adds much, since the band has more contact with your head it must distribute the weight more evenly. And since now not all of the weight was on the front of my face, it's more balanced and feels much more natural.If you use the link cable primarily, you might find this a hassle as the battery USB port does not act as a pass through, but since I mainly play native quest games or use virtual desktop for pc games this isn't a major issue for me.Battery life seems alright, I don't think I'll ever be in a situation where I'd burn through the elite battery AND the quest's battery before taking it off. It does take some time to charge however, so be aware of that.All things considered I can recommend the elite strap with battery highly, but the case not so much.

Per chi come me usa tanto l'Oculus è un accessorio FONDAMENTALE

- BATTERIA ESTESA: se usiamo l'Oculus come standalone, magari per giochi anche abbastanza pesanti, la batteria andrà giù molto velocemente. Collegando questa batteria supplementare, raddoppiamo la durata globale della batteria, portandola a poco meno di 4 ore totali, più che sufficienti per le sessioni di gioco "intense". Nel caso di una pausa, la batteria esterna si ricarica molto velocemente se usiamo un alimentatore QC o PD. Quindi in poco tempo riusciamo ad avere ancora autonomia per giocare, ottimo!
- BILANCIAMENTO DEL QUEST SULLA TESTA: ecco, già questo per me sarebbe motivo sufficiente di acquisto. Se il Quest2 con i suoi strap, rendono il visore totalmente sbilanciato in avanti, e quindi indossandolo si sente che si ha qualcosa di pesante sopra il naso, con questo accessorio, avendo la batteria esterna dietro la testa che pesa quasi quanto il visore, il baricentro del tutto è al centro della testa, e quindi il peso viene quasi interamente sorretto dallo strap superiore, risultando estremamente comodo da indossare, e non è necessario stringere allo sfinimento la chiusura (rischiando di farsi alla lunga male) per averlo solido in testa.
- ERGONOMIA DELLA CHIUSURA E DELLA BANDA IN PLASTICA MORBIDA: oltre alla comodità del bilanciamento, anche la chiusura a vite stile Rift con la parte per il retro della testa in plastica morbida risulta estremamente comoda, nulla a che vedere con lo strap.
- PORTABILITA', FINALMENTE!: se prima quando volevo portarmelo in giro dovevo avere con me la sua scatola, finalmente con la sua borsa perfetta vado in giro minimizzando il volume. Ben realizzata, ci sta dentro tutto alla perfezione: visore, i due controller al centro, e il caricabatteria nello scompartimento dedicato.
Ripeto, per chi come me lo usa parecchio è un best buy, cambia il visore "aumentando di molto la qualità e la comodità".
