If you’re on the hunt for the best Meta Quest 2 accessories, you’re spoiled for choice. To begin with, there’s a solid helping of third-party products, but there are also some frequent deals and even some official add-ons from Oculus itself. Some accessories can really liven up the platform and help you make it feel a little more “you”. Whether it’s a more comfortable head strap or a charging station that will let you put it on display, we’ve pulled together a list of our top picks.

The Meta Quest 2 is definitely one of the best VR headsets on the market in our opinion. In our list of top picks, we think of it as the “most accessible VR headset”, and we absolutely stand by that. In terms of its affordable price point, and wide range of games available, Quest 2 is one of the best on the market. What’s also fantastic is that you don’t even need a PC or console in order to play on it. In more exciting news, a new Meta Quest headset is set to release in 2023, which is sure to make all of these accessories even more affordable.

There’s always a bit of hesitancy when you know you’ll need to shoot for gaming accessories that aren’t officially licensed, or made by the original manufacturer. Unfortunately, Oculus, or Meta, haven’t been too prolific in making accessories for their highly popular headset. Down below, we’ve rounded up the official sidekick products, as well as some of the best third-party options that will almost definitely get you the same, if not better value for money. Without further ado, here are the best Meta Quest 2 accessories you can buy.

Best Meta Quest 2 accessories in 2023

If you’re looking to increase the comfort of your Meta Quest 2 with a new and improved head strap, this is an easy recommendation. It’s an official product from Meta, for a start, so you know you can trust the compatibility. What makes this one of the best Meta Quest 2 accessories out there though, is that it has an additional battery on the adjustment bar at the back which will essentially double the battery life of the headset itself. In an additional bonus, you don’t need to remove the Elite Strap to charge the headset, and the extra battery will charge at the same time.

The Elite Strap is also easily adjustable and can provide a bit more comfort and support than the standard head strap that comes with the headset. It has a circular, flexible comfort brace that cradles the wearers head, and takes some of the weight of the headset away from their neck so you can play longer, which is fitting since the headset itself will have that elongated battery life.

If the extra battery is a bit too expensive for you and you’re only looking for additional comfort, there’s also the option to buy a version without the extra battery.

In order to avoid the disaster of the Nintendo Wii days, a pair of controller grips for the Meta Quest 2 controllers is a great accessory to get. Seriously – many TVs died before their time in 2008. You don’t want to be plucked from your immersive VR experience because you’ve destroyed an expensive screen by letting a controller fly out of your hand. Enter AMVR, which makes a lot of great value third party accessories for the Quest 2.

These controller grip covers have a textured pattern to make keeping hold of them nice and easy. There’s also a securing band and buckle which is adjustable to your hand size to ensure nothing flies out of your hand when it isn’t supposed to.

One onus that a lot of people won’t consider about grip covers like this, is that they’ll help to keep your controllers shiny, new-feeling, and clean. Quest 2 controllers are white, and since a lot of VR games are tense, sweat-inducing experiences, your hands could very easily make the grips oily and a bit murky over time. One of the best Meta Quest 2 accessories like these grip covers from AMVR will stave off any unwanted greasiness.

If you’re looking for a place to put your Quest 2 on display and refuel it for your next play session, it doesn’t get much better than the Anker charging station that’s officially licensed by Meta for the Quest 2. There are indubitably cheaper charging stations out there, but Anker is a highly reputable brand that you know you’ll get a good product from. In terms of charging here, you’ll get USB-C connectivity and fast charging, too.

This dock is one of the best Oculus Quest 2 accessories because it provides a simplistic and clean display solution that will neatly store your headset and controllers without taking up too much real estate on your TV unit, shelf, or wherever you store VR console. It’s certainly a lot neater than charging via a plain old wire, although we have seen a few charging stations that have niftier designs if you really want to make your Quest 2 a centrepiece. In our opinion, though, this is the best charging station you can go for as it does everything well.

Your Quest 2 will give you plenty of amazing VR experiences, so it deserves to be on display in the classiest way possible. This charging dock and display stand is great value for money when you compare it to the officially licensed dock from Anker, and while there’s no accounting for taste, it arguably makes your headset and controllers more of a highlight, since it has nifty LED indicators that tell you the charging status of the headset and controllers. What’s also great, is that the charging dock has a bespoke head strap stand to cater to those with an Elite Strap so it doesn’t droop down and ruin the design.

The dock connects via USB-C and is quoted to fully charge the headset in three and a half hours. Bundled in is a set of rechargeable batteries for the controllers, which are quoted to fully charge in two and a half hours.

If you have the space to make the Quest 2 shine with this dock, it’s a solid third-party option that we’ve seen discounted frequently.
