Up To 30% Off At JBL | The 15 Best Oculus Quest 2 Accessories To Transform Your VR Experience

When you’re done with a gaming session, where do you put your headset and controllers? Just leaving them lying around on a tabletop doesn’t just make a mess, but risks damaging your gear as well. AMVR’s display stand is an inexpensive and straightforward solution—this light plastic structure gives you somewhere to hang the headset and controllers for easy access, keeps everything looking neat, and protects the lenses from scratches. You can even thread the charging cable through the stand for easy access.

When you get too close to the edge of your play area, your Quest displays the Guardian boundary to keep you from running into a wall. But seeing that grid appear too often ruins the sense of immersion in the VR experience. ProxiMat is better: It’s a a floormat that delivers tactile feedback to keep you within the play area. The anti-fatigue foam doesn’t just help you feel where y0ou are in the room, but it is more comfortable than playing on a hardwood floor as well. It also has a pair of raised buttons to help you orient yourself by foot-feel alone.

Not everyone loves the audio built into the Oculus Quest 2. The speakers are weak and sound thin, and almost any pair of headphones you plug into the audio jack sound better. But external headphones are clumsy.

A better option? Logitech’s aluminum-clad G333 VR gaming earphones are optimized specifically for the Quest. Not only do they sound great, but thanks to the silicone-tipped earbuds, they help isolate you by blocking outside sounds. But perhaps their best feature is that the wires for the left and right ear are ideal lengths to reach each side, so you don’t have to contend with a lot of extra cabling getting in your way.

Nothing beats the freedom from wires that you get with the Quest—but the 2-hour battery life can put a damper on play sessions. There are a lot of battery pack solutions out there to give you more play time between charges, but the one we really like best (see below) is currently out of stock. In the meantime, here’s an excellent (and wallet-friendly) alternative: AMVR’s Powerband Bracket clips to your headset strap and accommodates any battery you’d like to plug in—like this $25 15,000-mAh power bank from RAVPower. So for about $50 or so, you can add 8 or more hours to every VR session.

Perhaps the Quest’s most compelling feature is that you can use it both as a standalone, all-in-one VR headset and also connect it to a PC and play PC VR games originally intended for headsets like the HTC Vive. All you need is a long Oculus Link-compatible USB cable. Well, you don’t get more compatible than Oculus’s own official cable. This 16-foot cable has a fiber optic core and offers the bandwidth to play any PC VR game with the Quest.

We’ve all seen videos of people accidentally throwing their Nintendo Wii controllers through their TV or crashing one through a window. Unless you remember to don the wrist strap, the same thing can happen with your Quest controllers, especially in high-energy games like Beat Saber or Sports Scramble. Here’s an antidote: AMVR’s Touch Controller Grip Cover wraps around your controllers and provides a grippy, textured sleeve made of TPU plastic.

$25

You don’t need to do much to keep your Oculus Quest 2 in top form, but scratched or dirty lenses will ruin your day. For the most engaging VR sessions, you should clean your lenses frequently. A microfiber cloth is handy for that purpose, but a lens cleaning pen is even better. This cleaning pen is like ones used by photographers to keep expensive photo gear clean. The two-sided design features a fine filament brush for sweeping away dirt particles and the cleaning pad wipes away smudges, fingerprints and sweat.

$19

The best way to keep your Quest clean and dry, even after intense action-packed gaming sessions, is with a silicone cover. This cover from Topcovos slips right on top of the existing facemask and acts as a barrier to keep your Quest free of sweat. After a game, just pull it out and clean it off—the headset itself should fully protected. An added benefit: The cover helps block light more effectively so your gaming sessions become even more immersive.
