Two of the biggest gripes I have with my family’s new Meta Quest 3S — if you can really call them that — can be solved in one go, with a pretty useful accessory. First, the stock head strap is uncomfortable and I wish the battery life were just a little better. Well, KIWI Design has a Meta Quest 3 and 3S accessory that fixes both of those quirks. The K4 Boost comfort strap also includes a built-in battery that adds an extra 2.5 hours of playtime. It’s more comfortable to wear, too. But here’s the best part: It’s only $40 in a Black Friday deal. Normally $70, that saves you $30. Maybe take a break from all of the other Black Friday deals to check this one out?

Why shop the KIWI Design K4 Boost Comfort and Battery Strap for Meta Quest 3 and 3S

The KIWI Design K4 Boost is both a comfort-oriented strap and a battery life extender thanks to a built-in battery. You get an extra 2.5 to 3 hours of wireless playtime while it’s charged. Moreover, it supports dual fast charging so both the battery and the Quest unit charge with minimal delays.

One of the more useful features of this headstrap is the adjustment system. You can easily take the Meta Quest 3 or 3S off, readjust the strap, and put it back on. That also goes for swapping players, which can be a tad frustrating when you’re using the stock strap. That’s because on the KIWI straps you use a rear-mounted dial that’s as simple as twisting a knob. You put the headset on, twist the knob to tighten the strap and that’s it. It’s super simple and you’ll be amazed at how fast and how well it works. I was too.

You don’t have to worry about the strap adding too much weight to the whole setup either. Even with the battery, it’s relatively light at 0.8 pounds. That still gives you plenty of maneuverability while wearing the headset. Anything that would bog down the set and your head would make moving around more difficult. That’s certainly not the case here. Plus, a little added weight is a decent trade-off for more playtime. I’ve noticed during use that my family burns through the battery pretty fast, especially while playing some Beat Saber.

This Black Friday deal drops the price of the KIWI Design K4 Boost headset to $40, which is normally $70. That’s a great offer on a fantastic Meta Quest 3 and 3s accessory.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is this year’s can’t-miss Black Friday game deal
Vegeta in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero.

It's rare for a licensed video game to feel like the ultimate adaptation of the franchise it's based on. I've seen it happen before with 2005's Star Wars: Battlefront II and Marvel's Spider-Man in 2018. This year, Dragon Ball finally got that treatment when Bandai Namco revived the Budokai Tenkaichi series with Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. This bombastic 3D fighter embraces everything that makes Dragon Ball special, and is all the better for it. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero normally retails for $70, but this Black Friday you can find it discounted by 29% on Amazon and pick it up for just $50.

When I played Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero at Summer Game Fest earlier this year, I suspected it could be the ultimate Dragon Ball sandbox. I was relieved upon its release to see that this was truly the case. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a 3D fighter with a massive 182-character roster of iconic Dragon Ball characters (and forms of them). Players can construct teams of up to five characters and then duke it out across a variety of locations from the Dragon Ball series.
