Today we’re reviewing the 10 best accessories for Oculus Quest 2,
including charging docks, pistol grips, cases and stands, prescription lenses from VR Wave,
and a few different external battery packs. We’ll leave all the links to these accessories
in the description of this video, along with coupon and discount codes to save you money.
Alright, let’s get right into it.
For longer gametime, you might want an external battery for your Quest 2. The mini power bank by
LANMU is on Amazon for $29 bucks, it’s lightweight and connects directly to the USB-C port on the
headset. It’ll give you an extra 1.5 hours of playtime, and you can plug in the charger
straight into the battery to recharge both headset and external battery once you’re done playing.
Another great battery pack is the VR Power by Rebuff Reality. This one has a large
10,000 milliamp hour battery that gives you an additional 6 hours of game time or 8 hours
of video streaming. It straps directly to your existing head strap and rests towards the back of
your head. The VR Power 2 comes in at $80 and you can buy it directly from Rebuff Reality’s website.
Next up, looking at the Oculus Elite Strap with Battery, you can double your charge to get over
4 hours of game time and up to 6 hours of streaming on a single charge. The elite
strap is a significantly more comfortable option than the head strap that comes with the headset,
and the battery is integrated inside the back of the strap, which has a built in angled USB C cable
to plug directly into the headset. The Quest 2 will recognize when the Elite Strap is plugged
in and give you a separate battery gauge for your external battery. Other 3rd party batteries will
only charge your headset as you use it, constantly showing 100% until the external is drained.
The only downside of the Elite Strap with Battery is cost, coming in at $109.
For Charging Stations, check out this one for your controllers for $40 on Amazon. It creates
a wireless charging solution for your controllers. It comes with the dock, 2 rechargeable batteries
along with a new outside cover with contact points for the charging.
This lets the controllers charge wirelessly when you place them into the dock,
which also has a light display to let you know when they’re fully charged. The rechargeable
batteries will save you money over time from not having to replace the AA batteries.
If you’re looking for a larger dock that also charges and fits your headset with controllers,
check out the Smatree dock for $75 on Amazon. It also has rechargeable batteries for the
controllers so they can charge wirelessly. The dock has a main USB-c plug in the back,
along with a dedicated USB-C plug for the headset that tucks away underneath when you’re not using
it. The front of the dock has 3 charging lights, one for the headset and 2 for the controllers.

be sure to check out our next video where we’ll compare more charging docks
including the one from Anker, which has wireless charging for the headset as well.
Next up, an important accessory to have is a lens protector for your headset, you can get one on
Amazon for $10 bucks. You should always keep your Oculus away from sunlight, which can damage your
screen even for a few minutes near strong sun. We sunburned our original Oculus Quest screen from
leaving it near a window without a lens cover. It’s a small price to pay to protect your headset.
If you get sweaty while playing, you might want a silicone face cover.
We got one on Amazon for $12 and they even have different colors. The cover slips right over
the original and is extremely easy to clean to keep your Oculus dry and free from stinky sweat.
Next up - for a more immersive shooting experience, you can pick up pistol grips.
These don’t actually do anything, gameplay wise, but the added weight to the grips does
add a sense of realism while playing. For $26, we think this is a fun accessory to have if
you’re into shooters. They also look great for your spectators or if you’re making content!
For those that wear glasses or contact lenses, check out the prescription lenses from VR Wave.
They are custom made to your exact glasses prescription, and easily fit
into the headset with a magnet adapter, so you can quickly remove them. We tested ours,
and love that we no longer have to wear our glasses or contact lenses that would give us
dry eyes when playing for long periods of time. The VR Wave lenses start at $45 but the price
will range based on your custom prescription and if you add the blue light filter or anti-glare.
Finally, for storing and putting your headset on display,
check out this simple VR stand on amazon for $32 bucks. It holds both your headset
and the controllers, so you can keep them nearby and ready to go at any time.
