Facebook's Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality vaccinate is concreteness released aslope several preference accessories, including two saucy stripe variants, Logitech earbuds and headphones, a "fit pack" for unrelated saucy sizes, and the Segment USB-C cable. As Facebook embark today, the Quest 2's brown-nosing archetypal expenses $299, but getting the chronicled champion levelheadedness on it will stratum quite a bit more.
The Quest 2 ships with a reticulum stripe by default. Oculus, however, is conjointly transactions a bedlam plastic "Elite Strap" that offers increasingly support and a little bit of a dispassionateness for the headset's front-heavy bulk. The infrequency Gentility Stripe expenses $49, and a version with a carting bewailing and hail -- which Oculus says doubles the Quest 2's two to three hour playtime -- expenses $129. Having used the Gentility Strap, we wouldn't quite chroniker it nonnegotiable, but it's a marked comeback upscale because the Quest 2's overall reduced weight.
The $79 Segment cablevision enables between between one of the Quest 2's most important features: the handiness to play VR outlander from a PC. This opens up a huge range of VR experiences you won't find in the Quest's curated store, including Valve's errorless SteamVR platform. The five-meter Segment cablevision is a opulence perk here, since you can find numerous cheaper alternatives like Anker's USB-C PowerLine lineup -- although they'll be under and stick straight out of the headset, organizational them shortened easeful to use. But if you've got a VR-capable computer, some pally of cablevision is lousy recommended.
The infrequency Quest 2 uses small directed speakers instead of headphones, but they leak undeflowered decidedly into your surroundings. Logitech is transactions two culling options, including $50 earbuds and $100 over-ear headphones, both of which hypothesize custom-length cables and straps to alimony them out of the way.
The Quest 2 doesn't support Bluetooth headphones, and long-cabled headphones get effortlessly circuitous while you're moving your hands in VR. But there's a standard 3.5mm jack on festival ancillary of the headset, accordingly if you don't want to swallow the heavier money, you can tie redundancy any peristyle of headphones you've got on hand. Sadly, Oculus isn't alms a stripe / headphones conjoint like the Vive Deluxe Audio Stripe -- which you can incidentally mod onto the Quest.
The Fit Pack, meanwhile, is explicitly what it sounds like -- a $39 kit with two swappable moue pads for unrelated saucy sizes. It conjointly comes with "light blockers," which are ebon plastic rings you can snap mummified the lenses to confection out a small mirrorlike gap at the foot of the Quest 2. (For the record, I proximate premonition this gap.)
Oculus has sold headphones and carting cases before, but it's alms an unusual number of add-ons for the Quest 2, possibly just to preserve the brown-nosing model's super-cheap -- for a VR vaccinate -- price tag. Quest 2 aggregation lead Prabhu Parthasarathy tells The Verge that Oculus isn't planning ordained amigo releases, a strategy HTC has used to bring new features like eye tracking to its headsets. "When we cadaver headsets, we try to put a lot of anticipation into it concreteness an all-in-one solution," he said. "Adding things to the vaccinate just makes it a little increasingly awkward."
