While there are plenty of entertaining games for the system you’ll want to purchase, you may want to consider what additional accessories you’ll need to take your VR experience to the next level. Whether you’re simply wanting to customize your Meta Quest 2 device or find the right tools to best maintain it, you’ve come to the right place.
The KRX Design Halo Head Strap is the perfect supplemental support for your Meta Quest 2. While the strap that comes with the device functions just fine, this head strap makes it easier to adjust from person to person. The positioning of the overhead strap, too, provides some extra support so you can play longer without discomfort.
Not only does it provide extra comfort when wearing the Meta Quest 2, it also adds an additional layer of immersion through its quality headphone extensions. These extensions can also be removed, if you would prefer, making this head strap that much more customizable to your needs.

It also has extra pockets inside, great for stashing any additional accessories or even your wallet, so you won’t need to pack another bag. That’s not all: it even has a simple yet cool design.
It’s so annoying to find a smudge on the lens of your Meta Quest 2. It’s easy to forget while you’re in the immersive experience of a VR game, but everything you see while you play comes through those in-console screens. That’s why a lens cleaning pen is vitally important to make sure your gaming experience is the best.
A cleaning pen helps you effectively and quickly clean off your lenses, able to remove dust and pesky smudges much better than your average cleaning cloth.
Preventative care of your Meta Quest 2 can also help you avoid the hassle of polishing your lenses constantly. A VR lens cover can protect your lenses from and dust that might settle or build up between gaming sessions, which means your device stays clean and ready for use at all times.
Lens covers are inexpensive, but invaluable in their usefulness. You still may want that cleaning pen handy, but you’ll likely use it way less when you use lens covers.
The way VR completely immerses you in a game is incredible. However, in some games when you’re swinging a golf club or wielding a lightsaber, your touch controllers may feel a little clunky and take you out of the experience. That’s where the Hiblocks Extension Grips come in handy.
