Outfit your VR headset with the same accessories I adore using daily, for less!
Every video game console gains from the addition of a few fantastic accessories, and VR headsets like the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S are no different. My preferred accessories for these systems enhance comfort, extend battery life, and even introduce exciting new experiences that are unavailable elsewhere.
If you’re concerned that you might have missed some fantastic Memorial Day Meta Quest offers, don’t! All my favorite Meta Quest 3 accessories remain on sale, so you can equip your Quest with the best for less this Spring. Here’s a quick summary of the best deals I discovered today.
Meta Quest 3 and 3S spring accessory sale — quick links

– PrismXR Vega T1 made for VR earbuds: $69.99 $44.99 at Amazon
– AMVR controller grips: $21.99 $19.99 at Amazon

When it comes to elite-style head straps, the YOGES 10,000mAh strap can’t be beaten for the price. It features robust plastic straps that attach securely to either the Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S, and the adjustment wheel on the back makes achieving the perfect fit effortless. It accommodates all the heads in my family quite well (including the kids). Additionally, the top strap and back pads are both soft and removable for easy cleaning.
The main reason I appreciate it, however, is the 10,000mAh rechargeable battery pack that magnetically connects to the back. This device will significantly extend your playtime, and you can recharge it quickly with any USB-C charger that you have available.
If you find yourself lying down while engaging in VR or seated in chairs with headrests (think airline seats), the BoboVR E3 Pro will offer more comfort, albeit at a slightly higher price. Fortunately, it’s currently discounted by 21%, making it more affordable than usual!
Get the only earbuds designed specifically for the faster-charging Quest 3 and Quest 3S, featuring the ultra-low latency essential for VR use, all at the best price I’ve ever seen. PrismXR Vega T1 earbuds come with a small USB-C dongle that the buds instantly connect to, providing a configuration-free method to incorporate wireless earbuds into your Quest setup.
These have a fraction of the latency of Bluetooth, making them ideal for VR. Bluetooth is not recommended for VR since the latency can induce discomfort for some users. Moreover, the USB-C port on the dongle ensures that you can charge your Quest while playing, making it a perfect match for the Yoges headstrap mentioned above. The case charges the earbuds, as expected, so you won’t need to worry about battery life.
Soundcore also produces a pair of Quest earbuds, but they are designed for the slower Quest 2 and won’t charge your Quest 3 at its full ability, rendering these irreplaceable. Moreover, since the dongle is USB-C, you can connect it to any device that supports USB-C audio out, such as a Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck.
My new favorite Meta Quest 3 face pad is produced by AMVR, featuring an excellent pair of knobs for adjusting glasses spacing, and is currently on sale for $34.99. Those knobs make it distinct among face pads, which usually have awkward spacing joints or come with separate spacers, making this an excellent choice for glasses wearers. This particular model only works with the Quest 3, so if you own a Quest 3S, pick up Kiwi’s strap instead.
This Kiwi strap lacks the glasses adjustment wheels, but it does have similarly easily washable, plush padding as the AMVR variant. It also boasts excellent ventilation (like the AMVR model), so lens fogging will mostly be a thing of the past.
You might recall the N64 rumble pack, but have you ever heard of a rumble vest? The Woojer Haptic Vest 3 provides next-level force feedback for your entire torso, deepening your engagement in the game like never before. It’s currently $130 off at Best Buy, offering the best price ever on the vest.
I covered it in my weekly thVRsday column in April, as it has completely transformed how I play Meta Quest games with friends. Shooters like Breachers
