(CNN) –
The Oculus Quest 2 is incredibly easy to use – just turn it on, grab your controller, and you’re good to go. While this wireless virtual reality headset is ready to use right out of the box, there are a variety of great accessories you can buy to make your VR experience more comfortable, immersive, and durable.
After searching the web for the most popular and top-rated add-ons for Quest 2, we’ve selected a number of handy accessories that range from chargers and comfort straps to a special cable that effectively turns your headset into a more powerful one Oculus Rift. Here are the Oculus Quest 2 accessories that you should check out now.
It is difficult to dive into your Quest 2 when the lenses on your headset are foggy. So it’s important to keep them clean. The Sarlar VR lens brush makes this easy and has both a brush tip for removing dust and dirt and a carbon tip for removing fingerprints and stains. This kit also includes a handy lens cover that you can use to protect your Quest 2 when you are not using it.
If you want to extend the battery life of the Quest 2 using one of your existing portable chargers, you can do so easily with the VRGE USB Battery Power Bank Organizer Kit. This kit contains a durable belt clip that can be attached to almost any external battery. So you can attach a battery to your belt or bag and enjoy a few hours of extra juice. You also get a 5-foot braided USB-C cable with an included Velcro that keeps you connected to power without affecting your immersion.
Let’s face it – the last thing you want to do in the middle of a hot VR session is accidentally throwing away one of your controllers, doing serious damage to your household in the process. AMVR’s Touch Controller Handle Covers reduce the chances of this happening and give your Touch Controllers a practical and durable textured grip that will keep them more secure in your hands while protecting them from sweat and scratches. These grips also have an adjustable elastic band that wraps around your hand, allowing you to perform more natural gestures in VR while making sure no controller is flying towards a loved one.
If you want your Quest 2 to feel a little more comfortable – especially while you’re exercising – check out VR Cover’s facial interface and foam replacement set. This add-on replaces the Quest 2’s somewhat coarse face cover with softer, leather-covered foam padding that is ideal for long gaming sessions. It comes with two different face coverings to help you find the right fit. It’s easy to wipe off if you’ve worked up a sweat with Beat Saber or Supernatural. VR Cover’s facial interface is also available in a variety of fun colors so you can add some personalization to your Quest 2.
The Quest 2 Elite Strap is designed to make the Oculus headset feel even more balanced and comfortable during those long hours of alien blasting in VR. A rigid strap keeps the Quest 2 more stable while you play, while the pass wheel allows you to quickly tighten or loosen the headset in no time.
One of the best things about the Oculus Quest 2 is how portable it is, and the Quest 2 carrying case makes traveling with your headset a lot easier. This case is specially designed to safely house your Quest 2 and Touch controllers and offers additional space for those who have an Elite harness. Plus, it just looks cool, with a soft gray exterior that matches the sleek aesthetic of the Quest 2 itself.
The Oculus Quest 2’s built-in speakers work reasonably well, but you’ll need dedicated headphones or earphones for the most immersive experience possible. Logitech’s G333 earbuds are designed specifically for this. They offer game-optimized audio drivers and a custom-length cable that won’t get in the way while you play. These buds offer three sets of interchangeable silicone earbuds, and their chic silver and blue design is a nice added touch.
The Oculus Link greatly expands the number of games your Quest 2 can play, as long as you have a decent gaming rig in place. This cable allows you to connect your Quest 2 to your computer to play tons of PC-only VR games, including Medal & Honor: Above and Beyond, Star Wars Squadrons and Half-Life: Alyx. Just make sure your system meets the required specifications before picking one up.
Just because you wear glasses doesn’t mean you can’t get an immersive VR experience on Quest 2. The VirtuClear lens inserts can be ordered to match your current glasses prescription and snap onto the existing lenses of the Quest 2 with a simple click. Better still, these lenses have an anti-reflective coating so that glare doesn’t affect your gaming sessions.
It’s easy to forget to juice your Quest 2 when you’re not using it. This can be a problem if the headset generally only lasts a few hours on a charge. The Anker Charging Dock for Oculus Quest 2 helps solve this problem and provides a convenient base on which to fully charge the headset and touch controllers (via a pair of included batteries) in less than 3 hours. It doesn’t hurt that Anker’s loading dock is also a great way to display your Quest 2 when you’re not spinning around in VR.
