or
- Much more comfortable- so much more comfortable than the original foam one and enables you to play for much longer without irritating your face. Easier to clean than stock foam pad. Improves both comfort (replaces itchy foam) and grip on your head, now flows with your head even when looking down.
- Resis sweat- Decreases the chances of sweat damage. This just wipes clean and improves the visual experience. Doesn't absorb sweat like the original ones. These are mostly covered in leather-like material, so don't suffer from sweating.
- Sanitary to share with others- It is essential if you intend to share the headset with anyone. You get two in a pack which is great news if more than one person uses the VIVE especially if they get sweaty! 2 foam inserts so you can cycle and clean between friends & family during use. No longer embarrassed to share your Vive headset with friends.
- Better FOV also witn cleaning kit- Brings the vive closer to your eyes for a better image and FOV. People with kong eyelashes may need to adjust the pisition of the lens assembly but not enough to cancel the increased FOV effect that this provides.
- Always be entirely satisfied- Our customers are our lifeblood. So we relax to offer 18 months comprehensive warranty, including a 30 day no questions asked money back guarantee and 24 x 7 lifetime customer support. Any questions, you can contact with us

The long wait for the VRCover drove me to find an alternative so I took a gamble on some Vive face cushions. There are probably better alternatives but here is what I did:

I cut the velcro strips into little rectangles and put them on the glasses spacer, then I simply attached the face cushion to spacer. It doesn't fit perfectly, you gotta work it into the correct shape. However I actually dig the foam padding, it's more comfortable than the stock foam and doesn't absorb sweat which I really like. It's not a high quality product though, there is some tearing at the seams but it doesn't seem to be getting any larger. Also depending on how you get the cushion to fit there could be a little leakage on the sides, not much though. I don't know notice it at all while playing. No idea if that makes the Quest vulnerable to sun damage so be careful and don't blame me if you damage your Quest. Lastly, the foam makes wearing certain glasses uncomfortable, I use some thin harry potter style glasses for VR though and they work just fine. Obviously not a perfect solution but it works well for me.
​
Edit: Just noticing there are Vive Pro cushions (I hadn't noticed before). Those might work out better for glasses. Can't say for sure.
Yeah, you're gonna want 2 light houses, but 1 will work in a pinch for some stuff, seated sims etc. Looks like valve sells them now, the 2.0 versions, but they're $150 each which is painful. It's still possible to just buy a cheap used OG vive kit and use the light houses and even vice wands from that to get started. That's what I did and was lucky enough to find a like-new vive setup with a DAS on Craigslist for $300.
I have the index controllers, but might bust out the vive wands again and have them nearby since not many games support the index controllers yet. A lot of games are just unplayable with them, eg fallout 4, Thumper. Over time more games should hopefully support them though. And there are apps to do custom steamvr controller overrides, I just don't like having to dick around with that kind of stuff because it's tedious and seems like doesn't work half the time.
I'd say the DAS with thicker face foam (there's a cheap Amazon version of the foam that works) is a must for comfort. Mine literally hurt to wear until I did the DAS mod and thicker facial foam. Now it's very good.

I've been using Kiwi Design for Vive. The 18mm is very comfy.
