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

Oh man, so KIWI Design… they’re at it again with this thing called the K4 Duo. It’s a head strap, but like, not just any head strap—it’s meant for the Quest 3. You know, that VR headset everyone’s raving about? Or maybe they’re not. Who knows these days.

Anyway, this new gadget—yeah, let’s call it that—apparently fits both the Quest 3 and something called the 3S headsets. And here’s the kicker: it’s got these audio speakers attached. You can swivel ’em around, kinda like those old school desk lamps. Or maybe not. That’s just what popped into my head.

They slapped a fancy name on it: ‘K4 Duo AIO Audio Head Strap with Battery.’ Rolls right off the tongue, doesn’t it? Once you plug it into the USB-C port—oh, tech, you never fail to confuse me—you can switch between whatever’s on the headset or the strap’s own audio. Probably a game-changer for someone, somewhere.

Oh! And it’s got these two chunky 2650mAh batteries. The whole setup weighs around 459 grams. No idea if that’s heavy or light in head strap terms; sorry. What was I saying? Right, it’s got that tightening wheel thing on the back—those are oddly satisfying to fiddle with.

Apparently, it’s like KIWI’s other straps. Memory foam padding sounds nice and cozy, though the idea of memory foam on a head strap… eh, whatever floats your boat. You can charge the strap and the headset at once. Double the convenience or double the confusion?

We need to poke and prod it a bit more before deciding if it makes our prestigious list of must-have Quest 3 accessories. We’re fancy like that. But we had a blast with some of KIWI’s stuff from before. Seriously, that K4 Boost Battery Strap was our golden child last year. Take that for what it’s worth.

So yeah, if you’re curious (or just feeling impulsive), the KIWI K4 Duo is lurking around on KIWI’s website and Amazon. Starts off at $159.99, but there’s a neat discount nudging it down to $139.99. Go nuts. Or don’t. Whatever feels right.
