The Oculus Quest is an excellent standalone headset. It plays immersive virtual reality titles without requiring a PC, phone, external sensors, or external wires. But just because the Oculus Quest comes with what you need to get started in the box, doesn't mean there aren't ways to make the experience even better. These accessories help you play longer, more comfortably, and let you play more powerful games. While the Oculus Quest 2 has a lot in common with the original Oculus Quest, they don't share the same exact form factor and set of ports. If you have an Oculus Quest 2, make sure to check out our collection of the best accessories for the Oculus Quest 2.
This softshell case has enough room for your headset, Touch Controllers, charging cable, and adapter. The compartment of the case that holds the Touch Controllers keeps them separate from the headset, which helps protect the lenses.
This strap reaches across the top of your head and pulls the headset's weight off of your face. It's a simple accessory that makes a big difference for longer playing sessions.
This is the fourth generation of the Google Chromecast, and it brings several major upgrades. It supports 4K, has the new Google TV interface, and has a nice new remote control. It's also a nice way to cast your Oculus Quest 2 or Oculus Quest to a TV.
The Oculus Quest is great for immersive VR, but it's also great for parties. You can stream your Oculus Quest to a TV using the Chromecast Ultra. The Chromecast Ultra's ability to connect to the web through an Ethernet connection makes it a great Chromecast device for the job.
This power pack attaches to the back of your headset so you can play all day. It has a 7,000 mAh battery, which VRNRGY states is enough for an additional six hours. It also acts as a counterweight to relieve some pressure from your face.
Oculus Link allows you to play powerful PCVR games on your Oculus Quest. This cable supports speeds up to 5 Gbps, which is enough to handle Oculus Link.
The Quest's Touch controllers each need a AA battery. It's a terrible feeling to pick up your Oculus Quest and not to be able to play it because your Touch Controller's batteries are dead. These rechargeable batteries will help you play on your Quest all day long.
Sweat, grime, and fingerprints can build up on any glass surface. These microfiber cloths can clean your Oculus Quest's lenses without scratching the glass. They're also handy to keep around for other electronics like your phone or computer.
The Quest has built-in speakers, but if you'd prefer to keep your audio private, or you'd like to immerse yourself even further, you can grab these headphones. They plug into the two headphones jacks on the Oculus Quest, so you have fewer wires to deal with.
The Quest has a built-in USB-C port to handle charging from the included AC adapter. Still, if you're planning on adding an external battery pack or want to do a bit of experimentation, you'll want this three-foot USB-C to USB-A cable from Anker.
