KIWI K4 Duo: New Audio Head Strap for Quest 3 & 3S

Alright, so here’s the thing about the KIWI Design K4 Duo — they just dropped this quirky little gadget that’s like a head strap but more… well, more everything. So, let’s talk about how it’s supposed to jazz up your Quest 3 life.

First off, compatibility: it’s for both Meta Quest 3 and the tricky 3S. And it’s not just a bland battery strap anymore. Nah, this one’s got these funky speakers that twist around. Call it the ‘K4 Duo AIO Audio Head Strap with Battery’ if you like formalities. But let’s be real, it’s all about switching audio vibes on the fly through the USB-C. Plug it in and you’re good to play audio DJ — headset or strap, what’s your flavor today?

Battery life? It’s packed with 2650mAh, which doesn’t really sound like much until you remember all the gizmos it’s powering. It’s a bit hefty at 459 grams — which, I’ve gotta say, feels kind of like a weighty story in itself. And ah, the classic turn wheel — ah, memories of twisting and turning headsets until they fit like a snug glove. You’ve got dual charging too, padding for those soft heads, and the good old top strap. Comfort zone, engage.

Now, here’s where I admit that my inner skeptic is making faces. Testing, testing, 1-2-3. Are we going to crown it the king of Quest 3 accessories? Maybe. Maybe not. KIWI’s been decent before — I mean, the K4 Boost was a bit of a crush, right? Yeah, 2022 was wild.

But, hold up, circling back to now — the K4 Duo is chilling on KIWI’s site for $159.99. Seems steep? Yeah, kind of. But for all its twisty, techy glory, maybe it’s a price we’re willing to pay. Well, some of us, anyway. Just maybe.
