Best Meta Quest accessories 2025: Upgrade your VR loadout

The best Meta Quest accessories are here to improve your VR playtime, whether that’s fully immersive gaming sessions in the latest titles, or mixed-reality applications that help your efficiency. There are so many great ways to improve the quality of life of your VR loadout, and I’m here to help you find them. Even if you just want a comfier, cleaner fit on your face or a longer charging cable you can use while playing, I know the best Quest accessories that are worth your time.

Not all of the best VR headsets have the wide array of add-ons that the Quest 3 and 3S have. Especially if you play on PC, you’ll be limited as to what you can do to your device without voiding warranties or damaging it, but the Quest 3 and 3S are designed for you to customize them, which is a big win. Link cables can be useful for playing your 3 on PC, or for charging while playing. A stand can help display your visor, and keep it charged up for the next time you use it. If you take your headset on the go, a carrying case could come in really handy. There’s no shortage of options when it comes to Meta Quest accessories thanks to really inventive third-party brands.

You may be wondering if all of these accessories will work with Meta Quest 3S as well as the Meta Quest 3, and the good news is that because they’ve been designed as sister devices, almost all of the accessories we’ve tested will work for either one. Meta itself does have some accessories for the Quest headsets, but in truth, they’re fairly expensive, and most of the time don’t offer you the same number of features that the smaller brands do. To help you save some money and improve your quality of life in VR sessions, I’ve thrown together this handy list of alternatives to Meta’s own accessories.

The stock Meta Quest 3 head strap isn’t bad by any means – its clever tightening loops make it easy to adjust your fit on the fly. However, it lacks cushioning to make it feel truly premium, and can put a lot of pressure on the front and back of your head. KIWI Design’s comfort head strap alleviates that pressure and adds comfort thanks to some plush cushioning.

This is just like the Quest 2 comfort head strap by Kiwi, but evolved for the new generation. It’s available with and without an extra battery pack, but it’s priced more reasonably than the official Meta versions.

This is perfect for anyone that likes longer play sessions, especially with the battery pack model we’ve tested. Admittedly, it might not be the best choice for those who use the Quest 3 for fitness apps, since it doesn’t feel quite as secure unless you really tighten it down. If you do, you run the risk of PSVR 2’s biggest comfort woes, as pressure can really mount on the forehead. Luckily, super soft leather materials on the back and top of this strap do a lot to make it wearable.

The other frustration is with that top head band, since it’s poised to mess up your hair style. Nonetheless, extra play time and added comfort are a must that few do better than KIWI at this price range.
