Oculus Quest 2 sales temporarily halted

Several users indicate that the standard facial interface of the Quest 2 headset provokes an annoying allergic reaction (this is different from the pressure spots you can experience with a headset).

Because of these reports, Oculus has decided to put the entire sale of the Quest 2 headsets on hold. This means that the Oculus Quest 2 headset will not be available for purchase for several weeks. The current expectation is that Oculus will come out with a new variant of the Quest 2 (128GB) by the end of August 2021, which will directly use a new type of facial interface. From then on, we expect the Oculus Quest 2 to be widely available again.

This report also highlights the importance of hygienic solutions for VR headsets. Fortunately, there are now a lot of products on the market that can make the use of the headset more pleasant. Use a silicone mask, a new PU facial interface, or our Universal VR masks to improve the comfort and hygiene of your VR experience.

Fortunately, there are also a whole bunch of other products that help against skin irritation, sweating, and safe use of your VR headset. For instance, we always recommend using ourUniversal VR maskswhen sharing the headset with multiple people, ourDisinfecting VR Headset Sprayis also recommended for clean and hygienic use of the headset and controllers.
