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

You know those days when you’re scrolling through whatever — cat videos, some random meme, and bam! — something actually practical pops up? Yeah, that happened to me. KIWI Design dropped this thing called the K4 Duo. Weird name, catchy, right? So apparently, it’s this head strap doohickey, not just any strap, mind you. It’s for the Quest 3 — because obviously, we need accessories for our headsets now. It’s a combo, audio, and battery. Like wearing headphones and a power bank on your head. Multi-tasking at its finest, I guess.

Thing is, this K4 Duo (AIO? AI-what? Anyway…) comes with these twisty audio speakers. Yes, twisty. You can literally rotate them. Plug it into the USB-C port and voilà, it’s either the headset’s sound or this thing’s. Sounds like a sci-fi weapon, doesn’t it?

Oh, and batteries. Gotta talk about those — two of ’em, 2650mAh each. Weighing in at 459 grams. No idea how that compares to a carrot, but it’s something. It’s got what’s called memory foam padding (because everything needs memory these days) and a turn wheel. Haven’t seen a turn wheel since… wait, never mind that.

To cut a long story short — or maybe not, depends on how you read this — haven’t put this gadget through a marathon yet. Testing phase, blah blah. Last year we crowned their K4 Boost the champ of battery head straps. Maybe they’re onto something awesome again? Who knows.

For now, you could snag one on their site or on Amazon. Price-wise, it starts at $159.99 but if you’re quick on the draw, there’s a discount. Nearly forgot about that. Anyway, if you’re the accessorizing type, have at it!
