HOME OF VIRTUAL REALITY
Let’s face it, the sound on the Oculus Quest or the Quest 2 isn’t overly great, by any means, certainly if you're someone accustomed to high quality sound. That’s where the Kiwi Headphones come in.
The KIWI Oculus headphones are stereo earbuds that are custom-made, in-ear earphones for Oculus Quest, Quest 2 and Rift S VR Headset. These earbuds are the perfect sound accessory for your VR headset. The cable is high strength, very durable and tough.
There are two separate earphones (3.5mm plugs) that provide you with incredible sound quality, adding more to the immersion experience. They are made from a mixture of aluminium alloy and TPE material, and are comfortable, durable and light. They have a set length of 7.9 inches (20cm) to avoid any snagging.
The two earbuds come with three different sized silicone caps - small, medium and large.
Wow! What a difference. You get so much more of an immersive experience with decent sound. These little beauties are a godsend! They fit comfortably and stay stable in your ear - great for noise insulation if there happens to be any chatter or a television playing in the background.
Sound-wise, these earbuds have a pretty impressive bass, with clear trebles and crisp stereo sound that definitely enhances gameplay. We also liked the fact that they were marked with “L” and “R” and only produce one channel of audio for each ear. The 3 different sized TPE earbuds (gel-caps) are a nice add-on and are dead easy to fit.
The earphone cable didn't really need to be as long as it is, but can be easily shortened with a little PVC tape if you prefer. When not in use they simply dangle from the headset and are quick and easy to pop back into your ears at any point.
Don’t go wasting your money on expensive alternatives, try these first. You won’t be disappointed.

Other accessories to consider
ACCESSORY INDEXMeta Quest 2 BOBOVR M2 Pro Head Strap
After dealing with the costly official Elite strap, I can confidently say that the M2 Pro Strap by BOBOVR has proven to be an outstanding substitute. It truly stands out in terms of comfort, support, and battery longevity. If you're on the hunt for a fresh head strap, I wholeheartedly endorse this one.
Protective face cover
If you love your Quest, you may want to protect it with a protective silicone cover from Eyglo. VR headsets aren't as robust as you’d think, yes, you may have dropped it a few times and it still works, so why bother I hear you say. Well, it’s only a matter of time before the last drop is enough and your headset stops working altogether! However, there is a simple affordable solution.
Disposable VR Face Covers
Hygiene is more important than ever now, especially with the recent outbreak of the coronavirus. If you’re going to share a headset with someone it’s a good idea to protect yourself and others from picking up germs from the sweat secreted by others. The cheapest and probably most sensible way to do this is by using disposable face covers.
VR Headset Stand - Universal
If you have the space and like to keep everything neat, tidy and in the right place, a VR headstand is a good idea. The AMVR VR headset stand is an excellent choice and compatible with the Oculus Quest, Quest 2 and the Rift S virtual reality headsets.
Controller straps for Oculus
I must say, KIWI makes some fantastic intuitive products for VR. KIWI also sell knuckle straps that are compatible with the Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift S Touch Controllers. They have a fully adjustable Nylon fixing strap, that is tailor made to fit the controller and wrap securely around your hand. The straps allow you to release your hands from the controllers, but keep them in place, offering greater immersion while in VR. They also provide better protection for your controllers.
