Face Cushion Pad For Oculus Quest 2 (Black 6pcs Face Cushion Pad) – Review

Introduction

After spending countless hours immersed in virtual reality with my Oculus Quest 2, I decided to upgrade my comfort and overall experience with the Black 6pcs Face Cushion Pad accessory. This comprehensive review delves into the design, performance, and value of this 6-in-1 package.

Features

This isn’t just a simple face pad replacement. This kit includes a new facial interface bracket, two leather face covers, a lightproof nose pad, a lens protector, and two stick caps. The face pad itself is constructed from PU leather and a thick layer of sponge foam designed to be soft, comfortable, and sweat-resistant. The bracket’s vented design aims to improve airflow and reduce fogging.

The added lens protectors are a welcome addition, safeguarding the Quest 2’s lenses from scratches and dust. The nose pad effectively minimizes light leakage, enhancing immersion. The inclusion of stick caps is a nice touch for those who often use controllers.

Performance

The most noticeable improvement is the comfort. The soft PU leather and plush foam provide a luxurious feel, significantly reducing the pressure and discomfort that can occur during extended VR sessions. The increased thickness of the pad (8mm) does indeed enhance the field of view (FOV), though the improvement may not be dramatic for everyone. The vented design of the facial interface bracket does help keep the face cooler and reduces the build-up of moisture.

The light-blocking nose pad worked as advertised, preventing distracting light from seeping into the headset. The lens covers offer excellent protection, and the stick caps add to the overall protective measure. Cleanliness is a breeze; a quick wipe with a damp cloth easily cleans the PU leather.

However, I did experience some slight adjustment needed to ensure optimal placement for the face-pad. This is personal preference, and is something you would need to get used to. The foam, while soft, felt a little too squishy for prolonged use in some instances.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Increased comfort, improved FOV, reduced fogging, effective light blocking, easy to clean, comprehensive protection for the Quest 2.
  • Cons: Foam might feel too soft for some users, initial adjustment needed to find best fit.

Final Verdict

Overall, the Black 6pcs Face Cushion Pad for Oculus Quest 2 provides a significant upgrade in comfort and protection. The inclusion of additional accessories adds great value. While the foam’s softness might not appeal to all, the improvement in comfort and the overall protective package makes it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to enhance their VR experience. I would recommend it without hesitation to most users.
