The best virtual reality headset right now is the Oculus Quest 2. The hardware offers a very powerful all-in-one VR experience and the price starts at just $ 299. Best of all, they have the largest catalog of VR apps and software out there. After all, using a VR headset is only as good as the virtual worlds available.
As good as the Oculus Quest 2 is, there are a few accessories that can make it even better. Since VR headsets are an object that you wear, it is difficult to make them one size fits all. This is where third-party manufacturers come into play. Take a look at some of these accessories because the odds are good. There are at least a few that will make your virtual reality time even better.

This anchor charging station keeps your VR gear organized and charged.
anchor
The anchor charging station is possibly the best accessory you can buy to enhance the overall VR experience. And funny enough, it’s not something you will ever use once you step into the virtual world. After unpacking, the charging process for the headset is confusing. Also, the controllers are not rechargeable, so you have to keep replacing the AA batteries.
Enter the Anker Quest 2 Dock. It offers dedicated spots for the headset and controllers. It adds new rechargeable batteries to the controllers and charges all parts after every VR session. Not only does the dock provide the ability to be always charged and ready to go, it also ensures that all parts stay tidy and organized.

The SARLAR carrying case protects against damage at home or when traveling.
SARLAR
The Sarlar carrying case protects the headset and controllers even when you are on the go, but also offers space for all parts when you are not using them. Overall, this hard shell tote protects your VR investment – whether at home or on the go. It advertises protection from scratches, drops, bumps, water, sunlight and dust.
The case has adjustable foam and offers space for all standard equipment as well as for numerous other accessories such as an adjustable headband or additional batteries.

Orzero’s adjustable headband is more comfortable to wear.
Orzero
Orzero’s adjustable headband improves upon the standard headband for a more comfortable fit. Each person needs a different level of support and adjustment in the headband area. However, this option should allow for a more detailed and supportive fit.
Oculus sells its own adjustable headband, but it’s almost twice as expensive as Orzero’s. The wisdom of the crowd suggests this one is decent as it has a 4.5 star rating with 397 reviews on Amazon.

These Logitech G333 earbuds are designed for the Oculus Quest 2 headset.
Logitech
Don’t forget your headphones for VR. Video is one aspect of a virtual experience, but sound is another. You can use any wired 3.5mm (or wireless) headphones. However, these G333 Logitech headphones are specifically designed to be used with the Oculus Quest 2 headset. The biggest benefit to these earbuds is a custom length cable so it doesn’t hang low and get in the way. (A wired connection is important to keep latency down, especially if you’re prone to motion sickness in VR – this can help.)
The G333 comes with multiple silicone tips for customization and has two dedicated drivers, one for highs and mids and one for bass to create detailed audio.

Use this connection cable to connect to computers, telephones and televisions.
Kuject
The Oculus Quest 2 may be self-contained and does not need to be connected to a PC. However, it can also expand the performance and the games available for it. You will need a special link cable for this. There are two main features that make this Kuject to choose from. First, it comes in a long length of 16 feet which is great for giving you room to move around. Second, it’s a lot cheaper than a first-party Oculus Link cable. It is compatible with the Oculus Quest Link software and SideQuest, and has tested data transfer rates of over 2500MB.

Give your Quest 2 a certain personality with this sticker.
Mattay
Most of the other accessories on this list have some useful features, but this one is mostly for fun. Sure, this vinyl decal could protect your gear from light scratches and dirt. It can also be helpful to differentiate between equipment when multiple people in the house have Quest 2 units. But ultimately, adding an Iron Man sticker to your Oculus is a fun way to personalize it.
There are many other design options including Stormtrooper, Minion, or Space Galaxy.
