Syntech has introduced its VR Elite accessory for Meta Quest 2 owners via Amazon. It is rated to enhance comfort and stability while wearing the headset by acting as an extra strap, and also integrates an external battery pack. Accordingly, the 2023 Red Dot Design Award-winning accessory may add up to six hours of extra game-play while providing potentially improved balance and control in headset-based gaming.

Syntech touts the new VR Elite as the best way to augment the Meta Quest 2 headset to take the "pressure" of prolonged headset-wearing sessions off. It is made of "hydrous thermoplastic synthetic resin" and "ultra-comfort PU foam", with "skin-friendly" pads at "each support point" and an optional cotton strap for extra stability.

Such third-party straps are hardly unheard-of on retail sites at this stage, especially for the Quest 2; however, Syntech asserts that the VR Elite stands out with its Red Dot Award-winning design and generous 10,000mAh power-pack.

It has slots that correspond to those on the back of the main part of the head-strap, and is rated to re-fill the headset approximately twice over for 4 to 6 hours of estimated extra gaming time. The VR Elite comes with a right-angled USB type-C to -C cable in the box for this purpose, and is now priced at US$59.99 ahead of its imminent release to Amazon.
