Logitech's new VR accessory brings Valve Index audio to the Quest 2

pcgamer.com:

Good audio is crucially important for immersive virtual reality, yet surprisingly today's most popular VR headset, the Meta Quest 2(opens in new tab), doesn't excel in this area. Its out-of-the-box audio system is a couple of slim speakers built-in to the headset's strap, which leave a lot to be desired in quality, volume, and directionality. That's why I'm keen to see what Logitech has in store with its latest VR accessory, which aims to level up the Quest 2's weak-hearted audio.

It's called the Logitech G Chorus, and its whole deal is getting two open-back custom-tuned open BMR drivers onto either side of your ears for greatly improved audio in VR.

It works by integrating directly onto the Quest 2's strap mounting arms, which has the added benefit of allowing the Chorus to be compatible with a range of non-standard straps. Logi says hard or soft straps should be just fine either way, which is good if, like me, you've invested in the better balanced Elite strap(opens in new tab) or something similar.

You'll be adding an extra 182g to the weight of the Quest with the Chorus installed, so I'd probably recommend a more comfortable strap to go with it, anyways.

Since the Chorus connects via USB Type-C, it does take up the port on the VR headset. However, the device includes a USB Type-C passthrough, so charging or linking the Quest to your PC via a cable shouldn't be an issue with the Chorus installed.

Volume control is taken care of by the Quest 2's integrated buttons, and if you want to mute your VR swiftly, you only need to flip the Chorus speakers up and out the way to do so.
