Why you can trust Tom's Guide
Best Quest strap
Colors: White
Weight: 6.2 ounces
Battery life: ~ 2 hours
+ Easily adjustable
+ Fits perfectly
+ Added battery pack
The Elite Strap with Battery Pack is our recommendation for the best Meta Quest 2 accessory because it's just brilliantly designed. Yes, it's pricey at up to $129 for the Quest 3 model, but it attaches with ease and allows users to adjust the fixture and position of the headset with the turn of a dial. Plus the battery pack boosts your headset's battery life and can be charged simultaneously with the Meta Quest battery when you're not in VR.
Best carrying case
Colors: White or Gray
Weight: 14.8 ounces
Dimensions: 13.82 x 8.39 x 5.39 inches
+ Excellent design
+ Headset fits snuggly
- Little room for extra accessories
For traveling with your Quest 3 or 2, you’re going to need a case, and Aubika’s mini option is my favorite by far. A tough exterior, soft, plush internal fabrics to keep it safe, and a small-enough form to fit in the bottom of my personal backpack. It may say for Quest 3 only
Best link cable
Colors: Black
Length: 16 feet
Connectivity: USB-C to USB-C
+ Lets you play PC VR/Rift VR games
+ Snug connection to ports
- Could be a little bit longer
I was big into VR gaming with the Oculus Rift, so much so that I still have a handful of games I bought for it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t play them initially on the Meta Quest 3 or 2 because the games were specifically for the original Oculus Rift. That’s why I ended up getting this USB-C cable, which lets me play them on my Quest when I connect it to my computer.
Best face cover
Colors: Black
Weight: 0.28 grams
Dimensions: 10.35 x 5.51 x 3.98 inches
+ Comfortable
+ Easy to install
- Pricey
As a premium take on the classic Meta Quest 3 or 2 face pads, the Facial Interface and Foam Replacement Set from VR Cover is an excellent upgrade. The standard foam pads on the face cover of the Quests can be awkward and uncomfortable to wear. This accessory improves that experience immensely and even has its own clip so you can quickly swap the face pads on and off.
Best straps
Colors: Black
Weight: 198 grams
Material: Silicone
+ Provides solid grip
+ Easily adjustable
- Adds extra bulk
The AMVR Touch Controller Grip Covers are the best knuckle straps for the Meta Quest 3 and 2. These straps are easy to set up and use and can be adjusted on the fly. For games that require a lot of punching or other sudden movements, the AMVR grip covers will ensure the Quest controllers stay adhered to your hands. Unfortunately, because these knuckle grips stay adhered to the hands, you'll need to take the controller off your hand completely to free up your fingers.
Best charging dock
Colors: Black
Weight: 0.28 grams
Dimensions: 10.35 x 5.51 x 3.98 inches
+ Slick design
+ Great for daily VR users
- Expensive
The Anker Charge Dock charges your headset via a magnetic USB-C insert that connects directly to the Quest 2 (and the Quest 3 does fit), without the need for additional wires. And that magnet keeps the headset in place, making it a neat accessory to integrate into part of your entertainment setup. The dock also comes with its own controller battery covers to enable wireless charging for them as well as the headset.
