1. Metaquest Elite Strap (with battery)
Best Quest Strap
Color: White
Weight: 6.2 oz
Battery life: Approximately 2 hours
+ Easily adjustable
+ Perfect fit
+ Add a battery pack
The Elite Strap with Battery Pack is a great design and we recommend it as the best accessory for Meta Quest 2. Sure, it’s expensive at up to $129 for the Quest 3 model, but it’s easy to install and allows you to adjust the fastening and position of the headset with just the turn of a dial. Plus, the battery pack extends the battery life of your headset and can be charged simultaneously with your Meta Quest battery when you’re not using VR.
2. Aubika Mini Case for Meta Quest
Best carrying case
Color: White or Grey
Weight: 14.8 oz.
Dimensions: 13.82 x 8.39 x 5.39 in
+ Great design
+ Headset fits snugly
– Little space for additional accessories
If you’re traveling with a Quest 3 or 2, you’ll need a case, and Aubika’s mini option is by far my favorite: It has a durable exterior, soft, plush interior fabric to keep it safe, and a foam that’s small enough to fit in the bottom of my personal backpack. It may say it’s for Quest 3 only.
3. TNE Link Cable for Meta Quest
Best Link Cable
Color: Black
Length: 16 feet
Connection: USB-C to USB-C
+ Play PC VR/Rift VR games
+ Perfect connection to the port
– It could be a little longer
I was crazy about VR games with Oculus Rift, so I still have some games I bought for Oculus Rift. Unfortunately, these games were exclusive to the original Oculus Rift, so I couldn’t play them on Meta Quest 3 or 2 at first. So I bought this USB-C cable and now I can play them by connecting my Quest to my computer.
4. Facial Interface & Foam Replacement Set
The best face covering
Color: Black
Weight: 0.28g
Dimensions: 10.35 x 5.51 x 3.98 inches
+ Comfortable
+ Easy to install
– expensive
As a premium alternative to the classic Meta Quest 3 or 2 face pads, the VR Cover Facial Interface and Foam Replacement Set is a great upgrade. The standard foam pads on Quest’s face covers can be hard to put on and uncomfortable. This accessory significantly improves that experience and even comes with a unique clip so you can quickly replace the face pads.
5. AMVR Touch Controller Grip Cover
The best strap
Color: Black
Weight: 198g
Material: Silicone
+ Provides a firm grip
+ Easily adjustable
– Increased bulk
AMVR Touch Controller Grip Covers are the perfect knuckle straps for 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 and other sudden movements, the AMVR Grip Covers keep your Quest controller securely in your hand. Unfortunately, these knuckle grips grip so tightly to your hand that you have to remove the controller completely to free your fingers.
6. Anker Charging Dock for Meta Quest
Best charging dock
Color: Black
Weight: 0.28g
Dimensions: 10.35 x 5.51 x 3.98 inches
+ Sophisticated design
+ Ideal for those who use VR on a daily basis
– expensive
The Anker Charge Dock charges your headset via a magnetic USB-C insert that connects directly to your Quest 2 (and can also fit Quest 3) – no additional wires required. And the magnets hold your headset in place, making it a convenient accessory to integrate as part of your entertainment setup. The dock also comes with a controller battery cover and enables wireless charging for your controllers and headset.
All these Meta Quest accessories have been tested by Tom’s Guide team members, some of whom own and personally use a Meta Quest 3 or 2. We put hours of testing into each product, and some even test them for environmental durability, so you can rest assured that all these accessories have been thoroughly tested.
