My sister has a pico and she had the original bobo battery dock for it but to be honest it wasnt very good as it would wobble around (and is annoying especially when playing games with a lot of inertial activity). This one however becomes integral with the back of the head cup so it is held in there solid. I have these same batteries for my quest as well so now i have 4 batteries in total so is great for keeping everything the same. The batteries themselves dont seem to last that long but so long as you rotate them properly and keep the headsets charged inbetween plays you shouldnt have an issue. Can highly recommend this.

The replacement strap and back piece are a major improvement over the original Pico parts, making the default facial interface feel like a much better fit. If it weren’t so expensive, it would even be worth considering purchasing this product just for those aspects alone!
Anyway, the battery system works quite well, and the whole kit feels well designed and of a high quality.
If you buy one accessory for your Pico 4, you could do a lot worse than getting the BOBOVR BD2-P4.

I was really looking forward to getting this, as the battery life on the Pico 4 is pretty bad. This looked perfect, with the added benefit it has what looks like a more comfortable back padding with thicker top strap. The good news is that it is way more comfortable, but there is a huge downside. No matter how tight you wear it, to the point it’s hurting your face, because of the way the back is, it slides the front of the headset from left to right every time you turn, causing it to knock against your nose. I have swapped between this and the original countless times, and this does slide around way more, and because of the added weight of the battery, it makes it worse. I’ve tried the rubber velcro straps instead but makes no difference. The reason is because the padding sits in front of where the original padding block should be, so the Pico presses the back of your head harder, making the headset sit still and not move.
:edit: Second problem. Even with the headset switched off, the battery continues to drain. Each battery lasts around 1hr. Last night when I switched it off, the battery was showing the full four lights and the headset itself was on 100%. This morning, the battery has dropped to one light.

If it was just about the comfit then I would give this 5 stars, the padded rear section is great, it slips lower down the back of your head and holds the headset snugly in place.
However, the batteries are total rubbish, they add around 1 to 1.5 hours to your game play or viewing and yet they take up to 5.5 hours to recharge using the provided charging dock so if you really want continuous play you would need about 5 of these batteries on non stop charge.
I would love to keep the back pad for the added comfort but can not justify paying £99.99 for it when the batteries are so poor so I will have to return it and hope that somewhere down the line they bring out just the padded part of the set up with forcing me to pay over the odds for totally useless batteries.

So with this accessory you’re definitely getting extra battery life which is great.
What I have found is that the headsets battery remains at 100% while playing, unfortunately the battery pack does not automatically switch off when headset is powered off and headsets internal battery is at 100% unlike it does on the Quest 2. You will have to manually switch battery pack off or remove it, this avoids draining the battery pack when not in use.
Comfort… its definitely now back heavy I really didn’t like it being so heavy at the back and found the headset trying to lift up from my face even after making it tight but then uncomfortable on my face with the original facial interface. Perhaps this will be something to get used too, or made better with a softer pu leather foam interface… hurry up VR cover !
Foam is good and helps to add some comfort but means more movement with the headset seeing as it’s heavier at the back. Comes with honeycomb padding too which I would definitely be using as seems more stable and less movement.
Overall build quality is amazing, well done to that and looks fantastic.
With it being back heavy, perhaps they could look into making the battery packs as light as possible or produce a counter weight to attach to the front 🤔
Is it worth £99 … short answer no it’s not. Although you do get two battery packs and a charging Dock which is decent. I would see £75 being a better price to pay.
Thanks 🙂
