It significantly improves the comfort of the Quest 2, as the weight is no longer primarily in the front but also in the back. It also better embraces the head, as in addition to the strap on top, it has a circular plastic at the back. Especially in ping-pong, where with the old one, due to abrupt movements and sweat, the headset constantly needed adjustment, with the Elite Strap, it is not necessary.

The only negative is that because the headset now fits much better, sweat is more difficult to dissipate, making it easier for the lenses to fog up.

The battery communicates with the headset and changes the UI to display the total battery (headset + strap), and if you press on it, it shows the individual batteries. It also doesn't constantly charge the headset. At first, I thought it was DoA because I connected it to a headset with 99% battery and it didn't show that it was charging. The headset's battery needs to drop a bit for it to start charging from the strap.

I use it with VR Cover and glasses extender without any issues.

Finally, it cleans much more easily than the original fabric.
