My Quest 3 requires a comfort and battery enhancement, so I’m picking up this cozy, 10,000mAh battery strap for significantly less than the official strap.
I’ve been relying on the standard Quest 3 strap since I acquired it in 2023, and I’m eager for a shift. I considered the official Meta Quest Elite Strap at 20% off for Amazon Prime Day, but it’s still slightly above my budget! So I’m taking a cue from my colleague Nick and exploring his preferred alternative, the Yoges Y13 Elite Strap with Battery, now at 37% off ($37.99) instead!
Last year, Nick — our go-to expert on Quest accessories — shared that he and his son “swear by this as the best Elite Strap available” due to its “soft padding” and easy-to-clean material. Plus, the battery pack can be detached from the back for separate charging away from the Quest itself.
This Elite Strap provides an additional 10,000mAh of capacity, nearly twice the Quest 3’s built-in 5,060mAh capacity, allowing for hours of extended playtime. It offsets the front-heavy design, ensures a more secure fit than the standard strap with an adjustable knob, and offers added cushioning.
✅Recommended if: You aim to save money while enhancing the core Quest 3 experience with improved comfort, hygiene, and extended battery life.
❌Skip this deal if: You prefer the official Meta accessory or another third-party option featuring a halo strap design that can be tilted more easily.
Among the top Quest 3 accessories, Nick has evaluated other Elite Straps on sale for Prime Day, prominently the BOBOVR M3 Pro for $39.99 (20% off). This provides a halo-style strap that alleviates facial pressure, along with a 5,200mAh hot-swappable battery pack.
The popular BoboVR elite strap has a smaller battery than the Yoges Y13, but you can purchase multiple packs and swap one in as another drains. It’s a comfortable choice with a balanced weight and adaptable fit.
✅Recommended if: You favor a halo strap over a more conventional Elite Strap design and are open to obtaining extra battery packs to fully utilize the hot-swap feature.
❌Skip this deal if: You prefer the Yoges strap’s doubled battery and more secure fit right out of the box.
Nick has noted that this strap tends to wobble a bit for him during high-energy games, and since I enjoy using my Quest 3 for workouts, I think I’ll opt for Yoges’s strap first, despite BoboVR’s strap being more popular.
There are other excellent premium Elite Straps available, such as the Kiwi Design H4 for $67 (15% off) or the BOBOVR S3 Pro at 20% off featuring a head-cooling fan, but I’m concentrating on a simple, elegant solution that saves me the most money, which means the Yoges Y13. Fortunately, you have plenty of choices if you decide to upgrade to something even better!
