  • The BEST Way to Play your Oculus / Meta Quest 2!
    So you've been playing your Oculus / Meta Quest 2 with stock sound. if you think it's ok then think again!
    Here we take a look at the new Kiwi Design Audio Strap as well as a really quick look at the Kiwi Elite Battery strap just to see if the release version is different to the prototype I've already tried. Let's see if this Audio strap is better than other audio straps that came before it. We'll also see what cases the strap will fit into.

    Hey Al, given the design of the new audio strap and the new battery strap, I would wager there will be a battery strap with audio on the roadmap. I have been using the DAS since I got my Quest 2 in 2020 with a battery back attached via the AMVR bracket. I would definitely be open to an all-in-one battery and descent audio kiwi strap. Only question is timing. If it takes them too much longer to come out with, I may be looking for a similar strap for the Quest 3 instead.

    I'll admit that Kiwi Design Audio Strap does look good Al, but as I have a Mohawk, the top padded bit would be a pain. I still have the Bestorx one and the audio is acceptable on it. When I cut my hair, I'll change then, lol.
    Btw, does the Bestorx headset fit in that Navitech case you mentioned?
    Thanks for the great content as usual.

    • @VRCauldron
      @VRCauldron  Рік тому

      The bestorx does indeed fit into the navitech. I'm yet to find something that doesn't fit in that case. Oh yeah and the padded bit not being removable would mean you'd have a flappy tail to go with your mohawk.

    Heey VRCauldron. I know that this comment does not relate to this video (Still debating whether or not I wanna go with the new Kiwi battery strap, wait for a possible future 'audio+battery Kiwi' strap, or just go with the BoboVR M2 Plus battery strap :p), but I was wondering if you could help me in regards to clarifying something regarding the Quest 2 and the build-in microphones.
    The Quest 2 seemingly has '2' microphones on the underside of the headset. One on the right side near the volume controls, and another on the left side of the headset.
    What I'm desperately trying to figure out... is if the Quest 2 actually uses/is capable of using the 'left' microphone to record your voice if you try to record a video 'in' the headset.
    When I start a recording, and then cover the 'right' microphone-hole, no voice-audio is being recorded at all. Yet if I do the same for the 'left' microphone-hole... nothing changes.
    I'm hoping that maybe you'd know whether or not I'm thus dealing with a defective microphone on the left side, or if the Quest 2 only records your voice through the 'right' microphone. I'm aware that for your videos you use a different microphone for easier editing, but was hoping that you'd have experience with the build-in microphones as well, and thus could help me in my search for an answer.
    Soo... On your Quest-2 headset... If you are to record something 'in' the headset, using the build-in microphones.... Do 'both' of the mics record your voice, or does only the 'right' mic record your voice? (Does covering the right microphone result in 'no' voice-audio being recorded, or does the left microphone still record your voice in that case?)
    Anyway.. Keep up the great work I'd say. ^w^

    • @VRCauldron
      @VRCauldron  Рік тому +1

      That's a good question. Next time I record audio I'll cover them up one at a time and do some other tests and have a look at the recorded waveform. There is a chance though that recording works differently than in game chat where only one is used maybe? I'll take a look.

    • @VoltornElda
      @VoltornElda Рік тому

      @@VRCauldron If you could, it would be greatly appreciated.
      I had to return a previous headset because the microphone was recording 'way' too softly in games and in the home-menu (which I attributed to the fact that the left sided mic didn't seem to record my voice), and although it feels like my current headset records my voice more clearly... it still doesn't seem to record through the left mic.
      So yea... I'm now second-guessing everything. O_o

    I bought a Kiwi Battery Elite strap based on your preliminary review with a Kiwi case that claimed to fit the strap but you have to remove the rear padding and it still doesn’t fit without a squash and a squeeze. Not impressed that I have the best head strap and no case to store it in…
