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

Sure, let me give this a go:

So, like, KIWI Design just threw out this new thing called the K4 Duo—it’s basically this head strap for the Quest 3, but with a twist. Get this: it’s got audio and a battery all slapped into one. Now, I don’t usually get excited about head straps, but this caught my eye. Or ear. Not sure which. Anyway, if you’ve got a Meta Quest 3 or 3S, it fits like a glove. Or, well, like a strap.

Here’s the cool part—those adjustable audio speakers? They’re like magic. Rotate them around and boom, sound’s wherever you want it. Plug it into the USB-C, and you’re playing switcheroo with the audio whenever you feel like it.

Now, I’m not saying I weighed it personally, but rumor has it: 459 grams—with two 2650mAh batteries riding shotgun. It’s got the usual goodies too, like that twisty wheel at the back—I love that thing, though why it feels like a satisfying old camera lens, I’ll never know. Dual charging, check; memory foam that feels like a cloud wrapped around your head, check. Oh, and that top strap design—kinda underrated but totally cool.

We’ve had some solid meet-ups with KIWI gear before. Heck, we even crowned the K4 Boost Battery Strap last year—talk about a champ. But I’m gonna need to tango with the K4 Duo a bit more before it makes the hall of fame.

Anyway, jumping the gun a bit here, but if you wanna snatch one up, they’re chilling over on KIWI’s site and Amazon. Price tag says $159.99, but they’re feeling generous with a launch discount to $139.99. Could be a steal. But, who knows, right? Maybe it’s worth it, maybe I’m just a gadget geek.
