    This is leaning on a 4 star review. The cable works perfect. Good quality and solid connections. But! When it’s plugged into my quest it gets weirdly twisted. And I don’t mean like normal cord twist like my vive cord. It does this weird kink twist thing on the rubber outer sleeve and stays forever kinked and kinda twisted. It still works perfect but if you’re slaying zombies or running around like a mad man in vr it doesn’t take long for it to coil up in a weird way.I have virtual desktop so it’s not really an issue. Plus it’s way cheaper than the licensed cable, but if the expensive cable doesn’t twist and kink I’d be divided on which to buy.

    Received this cable yesterday and it works great with my original Quest. I had a DIY solution that involved a 12ft USB extension cable + a 3 ft A to C cable, but this Insignia cable is longer and lighter.

    The cable is too heavy and tends to weigh itself down. The cord does as advertised but it is cheaply made and breaks easily. Please do not buy this cable it is not worth the asking price.

    I work on my computer most days and I have poor eyesight. This cable keeps my Quest 3 charged with continuous use throughout the day. No extra batteries needed for the headset as I use it tethered most of the time. The cable is flexible, and long enough to reach across my 15 ft living room to my easy chair. It has a quality feel to it and I expect it will last as long as the oem cable from meta.

    Works great for charging and for link/PCVR sessions. Just make sure your mobo or IO ports support the speeds and its being read correctly. Use usbdeview and/or usbTreeView for the usb type its being read as as well as to see the power output.

    Works extremely well. I was a little disappointed that you can't plug it into the strap with the battery. Even though it's cheaper than the Oculus brand cable, it still seems overpriced. It is pretty high quality though. I got this to play my Steam VR games I already had purchased.

    This cord makes is possible for me to play my oculus for hours on hours without worrying about the battery. It stays plugged in while I play and it’s long enough for me to move around without it getting caught up. I recommend this for anyone that likes to play longer than the battery life allows.

    With the purchase of the Quest 2 VR headset and since Meta's prices are too high, I would suggest looking at BB's alternatives for accessories for it. They seem to work just as well. Note that this cable is long enough and the headset end in angled for a perfect fit once you've velcroed it to the head strap. These 90° fittings were designed to stop the break off fault of the straight connectors sticking so far out so get one! Using the head set wirelessly is fine but for better, reliable bandwidth, it's always better wired! You don't need to spend $99 to adequately get this job done! I guess if you attached hi-tech instruments to measure nano-gHz, you might find some difference but not enough to justify Meta's inflated prices. Use Insignia and spend the difference on a couple of games/apps/accessories instead.

    Works great it’s long enough i can plug in and play/move around without worrying about not having enough slack in the charge cable, since the battery life in the metaquest is less than optimal for extended play, this charge cable is a life saver!

    Does the Job for an Oculus Quest 2

    Definitely does the job for an Oculus Quest 2. I tend to put velcro cable ties on all my cables. In this case, the tie can do double duty. When cable not in use, it ties up the cable all nice and neat. When in use, plug the right angle connector into the Quest 2 and tie the velcro wrap around the Quest 2 head strap to provide strain relief for the connector. Best Buy has velcro cable ties (at least listed on online) as do other places.

    Great for oculus. But beware if you plan to use for a phone both rubber ends and too large to fit most phone cases. Mine for example is a iPhone 15 with quad lock case, fairly slim case but still a no go.

    I mean they work. They’re long so they don’t get in the way if you use Velcro straps for the headset. I sat on it the other day and completely busted the connector but if it wasn’t for that I’m sure it had a couple more years of life left in them. Only downside is how expensive they are for something that you can easily break with the wrong move

    Ive had a mildly good experience with the cable, its good in quality just not great, it doesnt need any braiding but, it would be nice at such a price. The cable also bends very awkwardly sometimes. It does meet the requirements for quest link if you're worried about that
