My Meta Quest 3 is fantastic out of the box — until you wear it for more than half an hour and the stock strap starts digging in and the battery taps out. After a lot of research, I upgraded my whole setup with KIWI design accessories. Here's my honest review after living in VR with their head strap, grips, facial interface, and cable.
KIWI design is a leading global XR accessories brand, founded by Ray Zhang in 2015, that makes premium aftermarket accessories for VR/AR/MR headsets — primarily the Meta Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest 2. They're a Meta official certified partner brand, and their lineup covers head straps (including battery straps), controller grips, facial interfaces, link cables, and more — all aimed at improving comfort, performance, and playtime.
Everything is built specifically for these headsets, so fit and compatibility are dialed in rather than generic.
The Halo-style and battery head straps are designed to fix exactly the pressure, slipping, and fit issues the stock strap causes — plus extend playtime.
Their link cables (with 5Gbps speeds) are built for stable tethered PCVR with minimal line loss.
If short sessions don't bother you, the stock accessories may be enough and these are an optional upgrade.
The core lineup is Quest-focused, so check compatibility if you're on a different platform.
The flagship H4 Boost Halo Battery Strap and K4 Boost Battery Strap redistribute weight off your face and add a battery for longer sessions. This is the upgrade that transformed my comfort — the headset stops front-loading pressure and the extra battery roughly doubles uninterrupted play.
The G4 Pro Performance grips wrap the Touch controllers for a more secure, sweat-resistant hold and added protection. For active games, they noticeably reduce the "flying controller" risk.
The V4 Facial Interface replaces the stock face pad for a better seal, light blocking, and breathability — a small change that makes long sessions feel cleaner and more immersive.
Their Link Cable with 5Gbps super speed is built to sustain stable power and data for tethered PCVR. The broader catalog also includes chargers and other comfort and audio add-ons.
On the official KIWI design store, pricing (shown in Vietnamese đồng on the storefront I viewed) includes the H4 Boost Halo Battery Strap at 2.147.000₫ on sale (regular 2.683.000₫), the K4 Boost Battery Strap at 1.878.000₫, the G4 Pro grips at 939.000₫, the V4 Facial Interface from 671.000₫, and the Link Cable from 483.000₫. They offer free shipping, a worry-free warranty, 30-day free returns, and lifetime customer support. Because pricing is shown in VND and varies by promotion and region, check the live listing for current prices before buying.
Pros: Meta official certified partner with Quest-specific fit; battery straps genuinely fix comfort and extend playtime; full ecosystem (straps, grips, facial interfaces, cables); solid build quality praised by hardware reviewers; free shipping, warranty, 30-day returns, and lifetime support; range of price points from budget add-ons to flagship straps.
Cons: Costs add up if you buy multiple accessories; battery straps add some weight and bulk to the headset; primarily Quest-focused, so non-Quest users have fewer options; storefront pricing shown in VND can be confusing if shopping from another region.
Meta's stock strap and face pad are functional but minimal — they prioritize cost over long-session comfort. KIWI design's accessories target exactly those weak points: better weight distribution, added battery life, a better facial seal, and a sturdier cable. You pay extra, but for anyone who spends real time in VR, the comfort and playtime gains are the difference between a 30-minute session and a multi-hour one.
If you own a Quest 3, 3S, or 2 and actually use it, KIWI design is one of the safest aftermarket upgrades you can make. The battery head strap alone justified the spend for me, and the grips, facial interface, and cable rounded out a noticeably better experience. As a Meta certified partner with strong build quality and good support policies, the brand earns trust. Just budget thoughtfully — it's easy to buy the whole lineup. For comfort and playtime, it's well worth it.
Primarily the Meta Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest 2. Check each product's compatibility before buying.
