Meta Quest 3 Facial Interface and Head Strap (Elemental Blue)

Great silicone facial interface, it kept it's form for me after 2 years of heavy usage. Feels good on the skin even during intense sessions with sweat. Hygienic, easy to clean while remaining comfortable, just wipe it down with a cloth after each session. It's easy to clean by squirting some hydrogen peroxide onto a wash cloth and then wiping it down, and then repeating that again with water, followed up by wiping it down with a dry cloth. Has kept mine nice and clean over the years.

I was having a hard time with my Meta Quest 3. It was giving me the "Can't find position in room" error constantly and frequently in the middle of game play. I realized that the sensor inside the headset near my forehead was either dirty or being blocked by something. I cleaned the sensor, but was still getting the error message. I purchased this in the hopes that it would maybe resolve the issue since the original foam was overly soft and squishy. Even though the price was higher than I wanted to pay, changing out the interface finally resolved the issue. Now nothing is being compressed, folding over and interfering with the sensor. It is also much more comfortable and easier to clean than the OEM foam/fabric one. I have not noticed any heat retention or increased sweating while wearing since I started using it. I highly recommend it if you are looking or needing to replace the facial interface for your headset.

Perfect fit, I’m a tall female. I tried another brand people said was more comfortable due to having wider forehead room but I disagree! This one distributes the weight evenly around the face. A unit with a wide forehead piece makes the entire weight of the headset sit in your cheeks. Who wants that?

Having tested the silicone face mask extensively, I can attest to its remarkable effectiveness in providing a snug and comfortable fit. The material feels gentle on the skin and creates a reliable seal, offering excellent light blocking. The mask seems durable. The added benefit of easy cleaning contributes to its long-term value. The design ensures breathability without compromising safety. However, the cost is relatively high compared to similar products in the market. While the quality justifies the price to some extent, budget-conscious consumers might find it a substantial investment. In summary, if you prioritize effectiveness, durability, and comfort, this silicone face mask is a solid choice. However, be prepared to pay a premium for these features compared to other options available.

After using the standard cloth interface on my MQ3 for six months, I decided to switch to the silicone facial interface, especially as I started increasing my use with fitness apps. I'm very happy with this upgrade. The silicone is much more practical when you break a sweat during gaming sessions. It's easy to wipe down and feels much cleaner than having your sweat absorbed by the cloth interface. The instructions provided with the silicone interface were a bit lacking in detail, but a quick online search helped me find a helpful installation video. I'm curious to see how well the interface holds up over time, but so far, I'm very pleased with this purchase. It's a solid improvement for anyone who uses their MQ3 for fitness or intense gaming.

In my opinion meta shouldn’t have cheaped out and this should be the default facial interface. It’s hard not to work up a bit of a sweat while playing and the cloth original one just soaks it all up, gross! I will say unfortunately with it being silicone it doesn’t lend much for ventilation so I find the lenses fog up a bit more easily - they should consider a slight redesign with more airflow. Even still, great upgrade to be able to quickly clean your facial interface and it’s comfortable to wear.

It blocks more light and is more gentle on your face. Until you pull it off. Then it sticks a bit. But over all it's better. If you mess with all the adjustments I think you can get the cloth face piece pretty close to this but not quite as far. It is easier to clean. You'll never get cloth clean as easy as rubber.

I decided to buy this facial interface because the stock cloth interface seemed a bit hard and felt like it was putting too much pressure on my forehead. I pulled up a 3rd party instructional video to see how to remove the old interface and how to install this new one. It was relatively easy and after realizing it's as simple as yanking the old one out and snapping the new one in, I turned off the video and did it easily in about thirty seconds. When I put the headset on my face for the first time I thought it did feel noticeably more comfortable on my face. I didn't have the sensation of too much pressure on my forehead like I did with the stock interface. It also seemed like it blocked a little more peripheral light, leading to a more immersive experience once the headset was turned on. Now for the bad: As someone who sweats a lot, the material on this caused me to sweat a lot more than I did with the other interface when playing games like Racket Club or Beat Saber. When I took the headset off after playing two five-minute matches there were already beads of sweat on the interface. This could be a pretty big con for a lot of people and to be completely honest I am weighing if this is a deal breaker for me or not. I will say it is pretty easy to just wipe off the sweat to clean the interface but I would recommend considering this issue before buying.
