With the holiday season fast approaching, we know Black Friday is a great time to find some deals on VR Headsets. We’ve already got you covered on the best Meta Quest 3 and 3S deals, but once you have one, you’ll need some accessories. Scott Stein, CNET’s resident VR expert, has scoured the interwebs looking for the best Meta Quest 3 and 3S accessories available for Black Friday. Here’s what he has to say:
“The Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S are the best VR headsets available right now. They’re relatively low-priced, are great self-contained game consoles, and they can flex to be fitness devices and work accessories, too. The Quest 3S is also an even better buy right now, with an extra $75 in credit from certain retailers. While the Quest 3 and 3S have everything you need right in the box, there are some useful accessory extras that could make life even better. Some of the deals on these accessories right now are well worth considering.”
“More comfortable head straps, extra battery packs, extended USB cables for PC Link gaming, and charge docks can all make life a little better at home. Travel cases and some fitness accessories like controller straps and floor mats can also be really useful, or silicone facial interfaces to prevent sweat damage on the headset – we’ll update this list when we see deals on any of these and more.”

Kiwi’s head strap is also sold with a battery pack built-in, and the package costs a lot less than Meta’s similarly-designed accessory. An estimated three hours of extra boost, per Kiwi, should at least double your playtime over a regular Quest session.

The yoges battery strap houses a 6000mah battery that helps balance the headset, making it more comfortable to use while also giving you an hour or so more play time. It’s also way more comfortable than the standard strap.

If you’re PC gaming using the Quest headset (which you can do), you’ll probably want a good long USB cable to link with your PC. This is specifically designed for just that job, and its 16 foot length and breakout port for USB charging should do the job for most rooms.
