These are trash quality and not worth the trouble. YouTubers like VR Cauldron make great videos comparing different options.
My first battery strap battery died within 3 months, replacement process was painless. Been using the replacement almost daily for 10 months now with no issues, wouldn't call it trash quality (except maybe the first batch). To each their own.
First off, elite strap is garbage. Only minor differences from the OEM fabric head strap and many people say that the plastic attachments that lock onto the headset itself are brittle and break. There are FAR Superior third party headset straps on amazon for around $30, and higher-end headset rigs for about $36 to $40.
A difference of $60 is ridiculous for adding a battery, to say nothing about how limited the battery actually is. You can get a much better head strap that has a battery mount compartment on the back that can fit almost any standard battery pack (and you can easily swap out dead/charged batteries on the go) for around $30, which makes both of these "Elite" products irrelevant, even if they had been good products in the first place. 👎
Hope this helps prevent buyer's remorse for a few people.

Can you please link to any of other $30 straps with battery mounts? I want to get a strap I just can't decide on one. But one with a battery or a mount for it would be preferable.

Even if it wasn't for the potential breakage. There are just cheaper, more comfortable, better-balanced straps out there. Facebook just got greedy on these after trimming the launch Quest 2 costs to the bare minimum.
You could grab a Vive Deluxe Audio Strap on sale (~$60) and the 3D-printed adapters for $15 (I use this with 10K mAh battery for balance and 6-7 hours playtime).
Halo designs like the GOMRVR for $20[aliexpress.com]. The benefit of this style is that it takes all the weight off your face and puts it on your skull.
Some options even have removable batteries or decent headphones.

Just bought, so I'll see how it goes. Amazon has 10k reviews on this. Read through them and the people experiencing breakage did not put it on or take it off properly. Some of them try to bend it to the side which it isn't intended. You have to properly loosen a little bit, then put it on. Don't try to stretch plastic. Then tighten. I believe they also have a 2 year warranty now so any breaks they will replace. For $30 why not
