The Meta Quest 3 is the best portal to virtual and augmented reality. If you’re planning to pick up the headset for immersive VR gaming, you’ll be glad to know the brand provides everything you need to get started within the box. However, the included head strap to secure the headset around your head isn’t too comfortable. So, we suggest getting any of the best Meta Quest 3 head straps from the list below to tackle this issue.
DESTEK QH3 Pressure-Free Head Strap
One of the best features of the DESTEK QH3 is the soft cushioning on the back and top of the head. This ensures you won’t feel any pressure when wearing the headset, even for long hours.
The Meta Quest 3’s default head strap is thin and flimsy. On the contrary, the DESTEK QH3 has large surfaces that exert less pressure and can also be adjusted based on the size and shape of your face. A dial on the rear can be used to loosen or tighten the grip on your head. One potential con you may encounter is that the headset may not fit into all types of cases with the DESTEK head strap installed.

Zybervr Head Strap for Meta Quest 3
While the Zybervr head strap lacks the plush cushions from the DESTEK QH3, the silicone supports make it still comfortable to wear. Another upside of losing the cushion and the adjustment dial on the top is that the Zybervr head strap weighs less than most products on this list.
Although the dial on the back remains on the Zybervr headset, a simple elastic band replaces the support on the top of the head. While it provides adequate support, some users have pointed out that it’s flimsy and feels like it won’t last long with everyday use. On the upside, the headset will feel less claustrophobic with the Zybervr straps since it has more open breathable spaces.

Kuject 3-in-1 Accessories Set for Quest 3
If you’re looking for additional accessories and a head strap, the Kuject 3-in-1 bundle is an economical way to elevate your Quest 3 experience. In addition to the added comfort from the head strap, you get a protective case and a face cover, so there’s less pressure on your face.
The silicone face cover is a genuinely useful addition for two main reasons. It keeps the Meta Quest 3 from slipping on your face. Additionally, the foam on the face absorbs sweat, leading to quick disintegration. The face mask prevents this as well — indirectly increasing the life span of the face cushion. As for the head strap, it’s a standard elite strap alternative with an adjustment dial on the rear.

BOBOVR M3 Pro Quest 3 Head Strap With Battery
BOBOVR has been making accessories for Meta Quest headsets for a while now. The M3 Pro is a head strap for the Quest 3 that not only adds more comfort but also extends the headset’s endurance with a built-in battery.
Per BOBOVR, the head strap adds close to two hours of additional battery life to the Meta Quest 3, so you’re basically getting double the fun. We mentioned with the DESTEK head strap that the back of the strap acts as a counterweight. With the BOBOVR M3 Pro, it’s more relevant since there is some additional weight on the rear courtesy of the battery pack. As a result, the front of the Quest 3 doesn’t weigh the headset down when you’re wearing it.

Meta Quest 3 Elite Strap
The Elite Strap is Meta’s first-party head strap accessory for the Quest 3. It’s simple, lightweight, and provides better head support without adding any frills. However, given its simplicity and plain nature, the asking price is steeper.
Unlike a few other headsets on this list that have plush cushioning, an added battery pack, or both, the Meta Quest 3 elite strap has no bells and whistles. It has a rubber pad on the rear to support your head when gaming. Behind the padding, there’s an adjustable dial to tighten or loosen the headset. Unless you want a first-party accessory, the official Elite Strap doesn’t quite justify its asking price, considering there are more feature-rich options on this list.

Lampelc Battery Head Strap for Meta Quest 3
If you like the BOBOVR M3 Pro but want more bling on your Quest 3, the Lampelc head strap will serve you well. It has all the same functionality, including a built-in battery pack and plenty of cushioning on the rear and top. The only addition here is a bunch of RGB lights, giving it a gamer-y look.
The headset itself provides a good level of comfort and the battery lasts anywhere between 1.5-2 hours. However, the built-in battery takes forever to charge — beating the purpose of an accessory that’s meant to give you more power whenever you need it. So unless the RGB is important to you, the BOBOVR M3 Pro is the better product when it comes to head straps with batteries.
