Meta Quest 3 Silicone Facial Interface

Great replacements feel nice better than OEM

Very comfortable even when used during a lot of movement. I use the VR for exercise so i sweat a lot, and this is much easier to clean than the cushion that comes with the headset.

Great for sweat! Easy to switch out! I play beat saber a lot and wiping the sweat from the silicon is easy

I would say this facial interface is decent. It feels cool, although a bit stuffy if that makes sense. After some use it sticks a bit, but is easy to clean.Design wise, it’s identical to the stock facial interface. The plastic is the same, and the shape of the silicone is identical to the foam on the stock interface. The difference is the material that makes contact with your face. So for me the fit is the same, the feel is just different.What I ended up doing is I got VR Cover cloth covers for the stock interface. It wraps around the foam part of the facial interface and is held on with elastic bands. Think of it like a fitted sheet on a mattress. If you buy them on Amazon you get a 2 pack and they are washable. For me these were more comfortable and breathable. If I were to compare them, the silicon interface is like a leather couch feeling wise, and the VR Cover is like a pillow.I would say this is a very subjective thing. You can’t go wrong with either options.

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.

The concept is good. The material that contacts the face is very smooth and soft. Not sure what material cover the padding, but it caused a rash on my skin. When it first goes on, it is very cool touching the face. However, within minutes it feels sticky to the point where it pulled the skin on my forehead and cheeks. I use my Quest 3 for flight simulation, so I'm just sitting, typically for an hour or more. By 20 minutes with this interface, I had to quit because it became so uncomfortable. I can't imagine someone who uses a VR headset for exercise being able to go more than a few minutes without the interface causing sweat to drip into the eyes.

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.
