Meta Quest 3 Headset Cover Review

Vr cover Quest 3

VR Сover Quest 3 is a robust headset with a full-colour passthrough and a new chipset that promises a smooth, lag-free experience. It also comes with a premium price tag.

This set of cloth VR covers is designed with anti-microbial material and 2mm foam lining to improve comfort and hygiene. They absorb sweat, minimize the buildup of oil and stray hair, and keep the face interface clean.

Custom Meta/Oculus Quest Face Covers

One of the biggest problems with most virtual reality headsets is excessive lens fogging. The primary facial interface traps heat and sweat inside the headset, which eventually causes your vision to fog up. Thankfully, several third-party replacement covers are on the market to prevent this. These covers slip on right over your installed interface and provide extra cushioning to help reduce the sweat and fogging you’ll experience during long gaming sessions or intense VR workouts.

One cover to consider is this one from KANG YU, which comes in a set of two and fits easily over the standard face gasket that comes with the Quest 2. The silicone design allows sweat and other liquids to pass through the surface, which helps clear your POV for a more immersive experience. In addition, the covers are easy to clean and can be machine-washed for a quick and convenient refresh.

Another option to consider is this set from VRCover, which includes a new facial interface fully covered in velcro and two foam replacements (Standard and Comfort). The interface features upper and lower passive air vents to increase circulation and prevent hot, sweat-filled breath from entering the headset and damaging the lens. It also has a nose guard to minimize light leakage and a soft lens cover to protect the headset from dirt.

Finally, there’s this option from KIWI Design, a complete facial interface replacement with a padded nosepiece to minimize light leakage and a soft mouthpiece to support your jaw. The PU leather material is comfortable and provides plenty of cushioning to make the experience more immersive and less uncomfortable over longer gaming sessions.

For those who want to upgrade their existing face interface without spending much money, this XROS kit offers a simple solution compatible with the original Meta/Oculus Quest 2 interface. It slides directly over the stock face interface and comes off in a flash for quick cleaning when you’re done playing an intense game of Beat Saber or engaging in a vigorous VR workout. Unlike the leather covers, this one is made from flexible silicone and is easily cleaned by wiping it down with a cloth.

Meta Quest 3 Sweat Guards

The Meta Quest 3 is a fantastic headset, but it can be even better with a few well-chosen accessories. One of the most important additions is the BoboVR M3 Pro head strap, which replaces the flimsy cloth strap with the headset and takes some of the weight off your forehead, spreading it more evenly across your occipital bone. This makes the Quest 3 much more comfortable for long gaming sessions and will help you get more out of your game time.

Another accessory that every serious Meta Quest 3 player should have is a set of sweat guards, which are simple fabric pads that fit over the facial interface of the headset and prevent sweat from dripping down your face or onto the lenses. They also keep the moisture from absorbing into the interface, which would make the headset dirty and uncomfortable to use. The sweat guards are washable, so you can swap them out for use.

A set of reusable foam face cushions is also available to improve comfort, reduce pressure, and provide a healthier, more hygienic environment for extended VR gaming sessions. These pads are easy to attach and remove, making them a convenient way to upgrade your existing Meta Quest 3 experience.

You can also purchase a set of Elite Straps with a battery, which allows you to charge your Meta Quest 3 headset and the battery simultaneously with a single cable. This extends playtime by up to two hours and is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy the headset for longer.

If you want to add extra realism to your gaming experience, look into the range of Meta Quest 3 compatible controller attachments that allow you to add extra haptics and fine motor controls to the standard controllers. You can also buy replacement lenses for your headset, which can enhance the colour of games or cut down on glare and light reflections.

Finally, anyone who frequently travels with their Meta Quest 3 will want to invest in a good case to protect the headset when unused. The Casematix backpack is an excellent option, offering plenty of space for the headset and spaces for controllers, cables and other accessories. The backpack looks great and is well-made, so you can rest assured that your investment will be protected when you pack up the headset for a trip.

Meta Quest 3 Silicon Cover

This soft silicone cover easily clips into the two holes on either side of the stock interface; it cuts out light leaking from underneath your nose and keeps your headset clean. Especially for those who use their headset during exercise or games that require intense focus, we recommend this small accessory to help you keep your headset hygienic and sweat-free.

Designed to optimize your comfort and hygiene during virtual reality gaming sessions, this inner silicon protection perfectly fits the Meta Quest headset and prevents sweat from damaging the headset. It also creates an effective barrier against impurities and helps with easy cleaning, allowing you to enjoy limitless VR adventures!

The silicone material is comfortable and can be wiped down with a damp cloth, ideally water or a weak soap solution. It also provides a good grip on the interface and prevents it from slipping off while gaming, making this face pad cover even more user-friendly.

Meta Quest 3 Glasses Spacer

The Meta Quest headset has a built-in glasses spacer and vents to prevent lens fogging. This allows users to enjoy games like Beat Saber and Blade and Sorcery without removing their glasses. It also helps to reduce discomfort due to lenses fogging, which can be a significant problem in VR gaming. Fogging happens when the wearer’s warm breath comes into contact with the headset lenses, causing them to fog up. This can be very uncomfortable and can even cause headaches and eye strain.

The included spacer is lightweight and easy to use. It is made from a comfortable material that reduces pressure on the face and head while wearing the Meta Quest headset with glasses. If something happens to the included spacer, it’s possible to find third-party spacers that work with the Meta Quest headset. If you are looking for a replacement, read the fine print before purchasing.

Many people who wear glasses are interested in virtual reality but are concerned that the headset will not fit over their frames. Fortunately, the Meta Quest headset is designed to accommodate most frames. There are two ways to do this: by using the interface foam inserted between the headset and the face or by obliterating the facial interface and inserting a spacer underneath it.

To use the interface foam, simply move the strap arms away from your head and gently press down on the front of the mask to expand it. You should be able to feel and hear a click as the interface foam snaps back into place. It is important to note that the spacer should not be used if you wear contact lenses, as it can create friction and may scratch them.

If you don’t want to use the interface foam, you can purchase prescription VR lenses from VirtuClear, a company that makes custom VR headset lenses for individuals with visual impairments. They are designed to improve clarity, enhance contrast, and reduce glare. The lenses are available for the Meta Quest, Oculus Rift, Valve Index, and other VR headsets. These lenses are made using a high-precision process, allowing them to provide accurate optical correction for the individual wearer. They can be purchased online, with delivery usually taking three to five business days.
