Syntech Launches VR Head Strap with Battery Pack for Meta/Oculus Quest 2

Syntech has launched the Syntech VR Head Strap with Battery Pack. This accessory is designed to improve the comfort and stability of VR headsets whilst providing longer battery life. It is specifically adapted for the Oculus Quest 2 and is available for $59.99.
“The Syntech VR Head Strap with Battery Pack has also been awarded the prestigious 2023 Red Dot Award for outstanding product design. The Red Dot Award is one of the most sought-after international accolades for product design, and recognises products that demonstrate exceptional quality, innovation, and functionality. The Syntech VR Head Strap with Battery Pack was selected as a winner by an expert jury of over 50 design professionals, who evaluated over 8,000 entries from 50 countries,” the company said.
“One of the most significant features of the Syntech VR Elite Strap is its Snap-Fit connection design, which reduces head pressure. Unlike the built-in battery head strap on the device, users can take the battery off at any time without taking off the head strap. This innovative design ensures that users can enjoy their VR experience for longer without any discomfort,” the company said.
The company has upgraded the structure of the VR head strap, which significantly improves comfort and stability. The battery’s capacity has also been increased to 10,000mAh. It is now capable of charging the Quest2 twice, and extends battery life to about 4-6 hours, providing a comfortable VR experience and a long battery life. Note that some high-power applications may reduce their battery life though.
The Syntech VR Elite Strap features a flexible 60-degree adjustable design, making it easy to put on and take off the VR headset. The rotating design can also be used to stand the headset on the forehead, which is very easy and convenient. The head strap structure of the Syntech VR Elite Strap adds a removable soft cotton strap for extra support, relieving pressure on the head, and making the structure more stable. Hydrous thermoplastic synthetic resin is used in ultra-comfort PU foam. Each support point of the head strap is equipped with skin-friendly soft pads so that those wearing will not feel any hard plastic pressing against their head.
Syntech has also ensured that the battery pack is reliable and safe. The pack uses LiPo batteries, which have a better current storage capacity and safety performance, and a longer lifespan. The company has set up overcharge protection, overheating protection, short-circuit protection, and overload protection to ensure multiple safety. The connection between the head strap and the battery pack adopts an innovative snap-fit design, easy to install and remove, ensuring that even during intense game actions, it can be firmly fixed without shaking, helping to immerse users in the VR world.
The Syntech VR Elite Strap is available for $59.99.

The lineup includes the RTX 5060 Ti in 16GB and 8GB variants, along with the standard RTX 5060, all featuring ultra-fast GDDR7 memory, advanced cooling solutions, and compact designs for broad system compatibility.
Designed for both gamers and creators, the new GPUs leverage AI acceleration through DLSS 4, delivering smoother frame rates and enhanced ray tracing. NVIDIA’s Studio tools and NIM microservices further expand creative possibilities, enabling AI-assisted workflows and faster content creation.
