Cyber Monday Deal KIWI Design K4 Boost Meta Quest 3 and 3S accessory deal

This story is part of Digital Trends' Cyber Monday coverage 2024

Two of the biggest gripes I have with my family’s new Meta Quest 3S — if you can really call them that — can be solved in one go, with a pretty useful accessory. First, the stock head strap is uncomfortable and I wish the battery life were just a little better. Well, KIWI Design has a Meta Quest 3 and 3S accessory that fixes both of those quirks. The K4 Boost comfort strap also includes a built-in battery that adds an extra 2.5 hours of playtime. It’s more comfortable to wear, too. But here’s the best part: It’s only $40 in a Cyber Monday deal. Normally $70, that saves you $30. And don’t fret if you think you missed out on the best Cyber Monday deals, many of them are still available to shop, like this one.

Why shop the KIWI Design K4 Boost Comfort and Battery Strap for Meta Quest 3 and 3S

The KIWI Design K4 Boost is both a comfort-oriented strap and a battery life extender thanks to a built-in battery. You get an extra 2.5 to 3 hours of wireless playtime while it’s charged. Moreover, it supports dual fast charging so both the battery and the Quest unit charge with minimal delays.

One of the more useful features of this headstrap is the adjustment system. You can easily take the Meta Quest 3 or 3S off, readjust the strap, and put it back on. That also goes for swapping players, which can be a tad frustrating when you’re using the stock strap. That’s because on the KIWI straps you use a rear-mounted dial that’s as simple as twisting a knob. You put the headset on, twist the knob to tighten the strap and that’s it. It’s super simple and you’ll be amazed at how fast and how well it works. I was too.

You don’t have to worry about the strap adding too much weight to the whole setup either. Even with the battery, it’s relatively light at 0.8 pounds. That still gives you plenty of maneuverability while wearing the headset. Anything that would bog down the set and your head would make moving around more difficult. That’s certainly not the case here. Plus, a little added weight is a decent trade-off for more playtime. I’ve noticed during use that my family burns through the battery pretty fast, especially while playing some Beat Saber.

For Cyber Monday, the price of the KIWI Design K4 Boost headset is now $40, normally $70. That’s a great offer on a fantastic Meta Quest 3 and 3s accessory.

This (Oculus) Meta Quest 2 Black Friday deal ends soon — get it now
Meta's Quest 2 can track your hands allowing you to manipulate virtual objects.

Sadly, many excellent Black Friday deals are over, but if you've missed out, luckily there are still some great deals floating around. For example, if you've been wanting to get into VR and have been waiting for a Black Friday deal, this Meta Quest 2 is still on sale at Walmart for $349, rather than its usual $400 price tag. Even better, Walmart has thrown in two free games; the excellent Beat Saber, which will help keep you active and fit, and Resident Evil 4.. If that seems like a great deal to you, then we encourage you to grab it quickly rather than waiting for Cyber Monday deals; we've already seen a lot of similar sales from Black Friday expire and don't know if they'll show up on Cyber Monday.

Why you should buy the Meta Quest 2 + Beat Saber + Resident Evil 4 bundle
The Meta Quest 2, formerly known as the Oculus Quest 2, is a standalone virtual reality headset that has dominated Steam. As it doesn't need to be linked to a powerful gaming PC, it's a relatively affordable way of getting into VR, and there's no risk of running into wires and cables. While there have already been comparisons between the rumored Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 2, the latter remains the prime choice for VR gaming, until at least the announcement of its successor. the headset comes with a pair of Touch controllers

Switch who? This pint-sized handheld could be your next go-to
Ayaneo Pocket Ace

The Ayaneo Pocket Ace is the company's latest retro-focused handheld, and it channels the Gameboy Micro in all the right ways. With a 4.5-inch 1080p display with crisp, colorful visuals, the Pocket Ace looks to be roughly the same size as a standard smartphone, but with a D-pad, two analog sticks, and all the face and shoulder buttons you need to play nearly anything you want.

Ayaneo describes the device as "a true gaming-focused retro Android handheld." It's powered by the Snapdragon G3x Gen 2, so while the processor is a bit dated, it still holds up and maintains solid, stable performance. Ayaneo claims the real-world performance of the chip rivals that of gaming smartphones.
