The Apple Vision Pro is only the company’s first foray into the virtual reality headset world, so there is no doubt going to be a few kinks that need working out. Thankfully, due to the growing selection of accessories for the Apple Vision Pro, many of the teething problems can be remedied. These are a selection of the currently available ones that I think will greatly help a lot of users.
Apple Vision Pro travel case
Now this accessory comes for sale from Apple for a staggering $199, or you can get an off-brand one for significantly less. Of course, if you have already spent the $3,500 for the Apple Vision Pro, money is probably not an issue. However, I feel the aftermarket versions are slightly better.
The Sarlar Apple Vision Pro Case provides a padded and adaptable inside casing, able to securely hold many different types of headsets. It comes with a hardshell case for accidental drops or dings. What really sets it apart from the Apple version of the Vision Pro accessory is the body stap. This allows it to be connected to the body for transport rather than needing another bag to carry the case.
Zeiss Optical Inserts
If, like me, you have bad eyes and need glasses, you’ll also need to purchase these lenses. I don’t understand why headsets can’t adjust to different prescriptions. But I’m not a designer or a corporate overlord.
The Zeiss Optical lenses are the essential Apple Vision Pro accessory for anyone who needs glasses. They are made to your prescription by one of the best lens makers in the world. Simply click them into the current Vision Pro lenses with magnets.
Lens cleaning accessories
Like any piece of optical equipment, be it a telescope or camera, you need to be incredibly careful with the lenses. Wiping dirt and grime from the delicate and finely tuned lenses can result in a lot of damage. Thankfully, there are whole toolkits out there for just that reason.
Anyone who owns a VR headset, be it the Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest, should have a lens-cleaning accessory kit in their arsenal. You can pick one like this up from Amazon. Using this to keep your lenses clean rather than abrasive material will greatly improve the lifetime of your VR headset.
Belkin Battery Holder
I remember the day when people used to have BlackBerry phone clips on their belts. They’re the same people who also used to wear Bluetooth headphones constantly. Well, now there is a new market for them, and it’s the Belkin Apple Vision Pro battery accessory.
Rather than putting your battery in your pockets, you can instead wear it on your hip so people who missed the enormous computer on your face know you’re plugged into Apple Vision Pro. This accessory is made for people who have so much money after buying the Apple VIsion Pro they can’t even fit the battery pack in their cash-filled pockets.
Apple Vision Pro Solo Knit Band
For a more comfortable wearing experience that may not mess up your hair as much as most headsets, we have the improved head strap. Of course, it isn’t like Apple to just give you a few free options for extra head straps for $3500, so this Apple Vision Pro accessory will set you back another $99.
This head strap is adjustable to fit most head shapes and offers a much more comfortable wearing experience. It only staps around the back of the head, removing the need to flatten your hair. It is designed for sitting at a desk without much movement.
An entire Apple environment
Of course, the best accessories to any Apple product are more Apple products. The watch works with the desktop, works with the Mac, works with the smart bottle, and works with the headset. To really fully immerse yourself in the full Apple experience, as many Apple products as you can afford is necessary. You can remortgage your house. It won’t matter when they take it away. You can live in VR, even without needing to tether it to a computer in any way.
