Deal Details
Best Buy has the official Oculus brand elite strap on sale for $34 if you pick up in store, at least that is the case for my area. I know people complain about this one breaking, but I couldn't find a better deal on the Oculus branded strap.

These things break ALL THE TIME!

There is no reason to buy one of these at any price. The plastic they made the arms out of ALWAYS ends up failing.

Google "oculus quest broken elite strap" and look at the images to understand what's in store for you even as you imagine it won't happen to you. It's so bad they've extended the warranty for an extra year which means you'll enjoy having to take it on and off and wait for replacement two or three times before they tell you to suck a rock.

You have been warned!

EDIT - Just as an alternative, this is the same knock off generic halo strap I've been using for 8 months or so for $6.99 on Amazon with Prime. Not at all perfect but FAR better than the default straps and not even close to falling apart like this listing eventually will.

I got my das (vive deluxe audio strap for those that don't know) and will never use another headband thing again. Not only did it fit and balance weight perfectly, having attached speakers that actually sound good is double plus.

Elite strap is junk and will break.

Have two of these and they work great. Huge improvement.

Lots of info around the net about these Elite head straps cracking and breaking. Just thought Id add my two cents. I have the Elite Strap w/ Battery and LOVE it. That said, one thing you dont read as often with respect to these breaking is that Oculus has a two year warrant on them now due to so many complaints. So, if yours does break, you will get a replacement, just lame that youll have to go through the process to do so.

Buying an elite strap will result in disappointment, they will crack and break eventually. Mine lasted a year before it finally went the same way as the rest of them.

Often not mentioned about the two year warranty is that when it absolutely does break you have to take pictures of it, chat with support, send it back in, probably not use the headset for a few weeks because the default straps are pointless, before eventually getting back to playing in anticipation of your next failure.

Better alternatives are $7 right now so buying this is like punching yourself in the nuts.

These are awesome. I have two Quests 2's and two of these. You also need an adapter which can be 3D printed or bought for about $20. (https://www.amazon.com/FrankenQue...B08ML19XQ5)

They are expensive but totally worth it. Think of it as $50 or $60 for the strap and then $50 or $60 for the headphones which are great for added immersion.

That's funny, because I've had this strap for 4 months now, use my Oculus 4-5 times a week, and I've never had any issues with it or it breaking. It's made my experience much better not having to deal with the original setup. Personally, idk if this is a deal, but I'd buy the same strap again for sure

Yes it was $65 recently during bfd: https://slickdeals.net/f/15440185-htc-deluxe-audio-strap-w-integrated-on-ear-headphone-for-vive-vr-headset-65-free-shipping?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1.

I ended up just getting the bobovr m2 with a carrying case off ali for like $31 during the bfd sales. Been pretty happy with that.

I compared the Kiwi to the Soarking and preferred the latter. It was $10 cheaper too. Really like it. Can't imagine supporting Oculus when their official strap is so problematic.
