The ONLY Quest3 Face Gasket you'll EVER need: AMVR Ice Silk Facial Interface

- This Quest3 facial interface does it ALL.. and succeeds. AMVR's new 3-in-1 facial interface with their 'ice silk' facial cover is far more than just a cover, it improves all the crucial aspects of VR from comfort, FOV and immersion while solving all the problems of the default gasket.

Some updates that didn't make the video:
- The first version of this did have light leakage from the vents but they revised it and now only sell V2 which is the model in this video. V1 also had a smaller nose cover which was also fixed in V2.
- The ice silk pad can be washed but shouldn't be scrubbed roughly as it could damage the soft silk.
- It is compatible with the Meta and Kiwi Design charging docks but it won't sit properly unless the nose cover is removed.
- Lens fog is also gone thanks to the added ventilation. Removing the nose cover will also provide more ventilation, some people do prefer to keep the gap.
- Flipping the Bobo M3 mounts in reverse does not work as well as it does on my GoMRVR strap as demonstrated in the video.
- AMVR did supply this for review but it's not a sponsored video, I'm just sharing my honest experience with it which was genuinely impressive.

I bought this! and everything he is saying is spot on. I bought a couple of facial Interfaces from Amazon, and they were useless. This one is the best I've tried.
For anyone wondering. This fits with the Bobovr M3 Pro just fine.
I was indeed wondering, thank you kindly!
Thank you, I was worried about that
@HoodyNynja ahhhh it fits but not so nicely, it pushes the top things to forward or to backwards and never in the correct spot, it is definitely comfortable but not a " it fits no worries guys kind of deal "( not at the comment writer but more at every one claiming it fits fine but when I got it in needed alot of messing around to make it work.)
@@TheHeRoofsniper it does take some fiddling to get it right, but when it is sorted it is fine. Having said that, I tried the bobovr with the stock interface and found it no less fiddly than the AMVR one.
Didn't work with the bobo for me. But then again I prefer the elite strap over the bobo strap: I can really get it close to my eyes and get immersed in combination with the amvr silk pads! Best combo!
Thanks for the great review! The wife and I have been enjoying learning about VR the last few weeks but have definitely struggled with the face piece. Can't wait for them to arrive!
I hope you both found this informative, I tried to explain everything as best I could from my perspective. Small things like this face gasket can really improve the whole experience so I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Thank you, I have been looking for something like this since quest 3 launch.
Same here, I've been waiting a long time for this specific face gasket as I saw how good their Pico4 one was.
Finally someone who feels the same way as me! I LOVE the silk pads. They feel SO good. I went ahead and ordered 4 spare ones right away!! 👍👍 I hope more people will discover them. Thanks for making this video
I'm surprised other reviews didn't mention this as it was a huge upgrade from my usual leather pads. Glad you enjoyed it, I'm sure everyone will agree once they try it. Seeing as I'll be using this long term I might also get some spare silk pads.
@@Verociity Good idea! 😁
Thanks for your video. I ordered the facial mask via your link. Your description of it sounded good enough to convince me and also the price is ok by me.
It's honestly been a much better experience for me in every way, I'm sure you'll appreciate it once it arrives.
You will love them
Im gunna check this out. I like the nose guard idea. When trying to watch a movie i have to put up with the light of the room comming in and i can see my feet
Movies are more immersive now that I can't see any of my room unlike the default gasket which really ruined the illusion of being in virtual cinema, not to mention the wider FOV means I can see the the entire movie screen without having to sit at the back row.
Can confirm, I love the ice silk gasket. Pair it with a halo style head strap and you will never have hot pressure points on your face again, and it can still be close enough to your face and eyes that it feels like somebody is just holding the headset up to your face in the perfect position.
That's a great way of explaining it, it really does feel like it's in the most optimal position now, not to mention also being a lot more comfortable.
Wow bro super nice vidéo !!! Your voice and explication was really clear and love the fx you put on the video 😂 that was really professional well done 👍
monsieur Senso, thanks for stopping by, I'm glad it sounds really clear as I've been working on that lately.
Bought this last week. 100% spot on. There's too much light leak in the standard faceplate, and I had a real issue with foggy lenses. This solved both problems immediately. No more fogging and it's completely dark. Also have the aubike head strap with battery and no issues there. Brilliant bitnof kit and would recommend.
I didn't realise it also helps clear foggy lenses, I usually don't have that issue so that's good to know, I'll have to update the description.
@Verociity Yeah, unless you want light leak then the further the Q3 is pushed into your face, the more fogging that occurred. That could be a me problem, though. 😅 However, there are no issues so far with fogging. 👍🏻
Good one. I've recently ordered this one, based on the gasket glasses adjustment alone, the original never stayed in place once I put it on. but knowing the ice silk fabric option feels great, just makes me even more excitable for it's eventual arrival!
I'm sure you'll like it, I'm still using it everyday. However I switched to the leather cover over the summer as I was sweating a lot, however the foam is just as soft as the silk cover.
Ordered one on your experience and the price is very reasonable. Thank you . Keep up the great videos.
Hope you will love them, like I do!
Very reasonable considering how much it enhances the overall experience.
Added to cart lol, thank you for this review!
It's going to be like having a whole new headset when it arrives 🙏
With the first setting of the gasket I was far too close and with the second one still nose touching the lenses on the side and the inside of the headset but with the third setting it's a bit more comfortable , but just not as close.
I switched from a quest 1 to quest 3 and was happy that finally one company made a gasket with removable nose leather because I can see as much with as I do without through the nose gap
Thanks for the tip, just ordered one with your code.
Thanks let me know what you think once you've got it.
Just placed my order using your link. Thank you.
Thanks, let me know what you think when it arrives.
Just received mine and you were spot on. It feels so much more comfortable to wear and the new FOV is amazing!!! @@Verociity
@@krsnry That's great to hear, the FOV really feels like being more immersed in the world. I'm just sharing my honest experience of it in this video so I'm hoping more people try it and realise how much better the Quest3 can be. I'm surprised it only took a week.
Yes I was pleasantly surprised too when it arrived.@@Verociity
Thanks, ordered
Thank you for the video I was looking for a better facial interface that allowed my face to breathe. Cheers!
Fortunately that's just one of many improvements you'll notice, especially the comfort and wider FOV.
@@Verociity oh can I bother to measure the distance side to side that it has to accommodate glasses? For example, the oficial one is around 14.2 cm. My glasses are 15cm, and my head feels like it’s going to implode.
@@TechdoLiberal I just measured it with the ice silk pad on and it's about 14cm however it looks and feels wider when I compare it to the official one.
@@Verociity cheers. Hopefully it will be a tad more comfy with my big ass glasses. Can’t wait to go to my contact lenses appointment. It’s physically painful using the quest like this :(
have you considered getting some VR lenses? my friend tried it and said it's a lot more comfortable and convenient as she no longer needed to use glasses.
Thanks for this video!
Just wondering, have you compared this to vr cover's fitness mask? I know their quest3 version isn't out yet, but have you tried the quest2 version? I'm wondering if i should wait for theirs or not
I haven't tried the VR cover gasket but I did use AMVR's Quest2 gasket which was great so I was waiting for their Quest3 version which turned out to be a huge improvement. I don't see any reason to try anything else now as there's no aspects that need improving.
Light leakage for me is personally something I need. I gotta know where I am standing in my room.
I use a small mat in the centre of my room which was an idea I got from Cas and Chary, it made a big improvement to the immersion as I no longer need to see where I am. Now that I have no light leakage it's a different world.
I got this last week and it's amazingly comfortable. I'm using the PU leather pad because I sweat a lot and I'm skeptical of how easy the ice silk will be to clean. Even the leather feels great though, and I don't have any light bleed at all through the vents or around the nose flap.
The gasket is great with either cover but I prefer the silk. You might as well try it and see how it holds up as you've got it.
same here, I sweat easily and especially because I play workout games more so I prefer to use the leather pad compared to the ice silk. But do tell me how it goes if you decide to try the ice silk especially if it is as easy to clean to the leather pad!
@@comiturhan I discovered AMVR sells spare leather and ice silk pads. A pack of two is just $10, I'll probably buy some so I can have extras in case cleaning it doesn't work.
@@Bri-H I see. Well so can you clean sweat on the ice silk with just towel or tissue?
@@comiturhanalso curious
I just purchased this because of your review.... if it's like you say, then i will subscribe.
Let me know what you think once you've tried it, I'm sure you'll appreciate it as much as I do.
does the Ice silk pad work with the Quest3 stock interface? or do I need to buy the AMVR interface?
It could if you can tear off the stock cover and stick some adhesive on to attach the silk cover, but the most important part is the gasket itself rather than the cover.
Many people find the nose area of the AMVR gasket for, Meta Quest 3 uncomfortable, since it has little thin plastic bits that stick inward at the nose area. The way to fix that problem is to use some diagonal cutters to snip off the extra bits of plastic and then push the pad held on by velcro abit over so it no longer is where the bit that got cut off used to be. That is what I did with mine. After that it is extremely comfortable. The difference in only a few milimeters on each side, but it makes a world of difference for most poeple with normal or bigger size noses.
Do you have any links to examples of this? Mine fits fine but I'm curious to see how they cut it. I just found out that it was V1 that had a smaller nose cover, they fixed it in V2 which is the one you see here.
Woah. As a bignose, I am totally tryin this! What I did was set the distance further out. So its like my nose has space for glasses.
@@themogget8808 Good to hear that actually worked, out of curiousity are you using V1 or V2? I think only V1 had this problem, but if adjusting the spacer helped in V2 that'll be really useful for a lot of people.
@@Verociity don't know. Never knew it had two versions.
@@themogget8808 I also wear glasses and also set the spacer way out, but that didn't help with the nose for the version of it that I have. Modifying it like I did fixed it to be comfortable for me. I find that using this modified as I did, along with a non-battery Kiwi Design head strap makes the Quest 3 far more comfortable than I ever was able to make my Quest 2 with any 3rd party addons. Even with the default Quest 3 strap I found it decent comfortable. Seems the closer weight distro to face makes so much difference in comfort.
Does this interfere with the charging dock? Every one I've tried makes it not fit the charging dock. The meta silicon replacement is awesome also.
I'd like to know this as well.
I haven't found a replacement face cover with vents that's compatible with the Meta Quest 3 Charging Dock.
It is but you do have to remove the nose cover to seat it properly.
Is there a prop 65 warning on it? If so, does it disclose what material it's for?
I checked the box and manual but don't see any mention of it.
Just got mine yesterday-love it!! The only negative is that it doesn’t fit with the quest wireless charger
That's great to hear. Some charging docks don't have the nose mount that block the nose cover.
Those wrinkles look really comfortable
Both covers sit flat once you put them on.
@@Verociity good to hear thanks
nice, just bought 100 through your ref link
100 👀 Maybe I should consider getting some spares seeing as I'll be using this long term.
@@Verociity lmao no shame, i respect it
Looks good but how is it when playing fitness games, does it get soaked?
I haven't sweat enough with this yet but I'll let you know. It is more breathable than the leather pad so I am expecting to have to clean it more thoroughly instead just wiping it as I usually do.
After a serious session it did get slightly soaked, after drying the surface I still noticed it was a little moist when I squeeze it down. It's going to need to be rinsed. I'll probably get some spare silk pads.
I just got mine and I'm having issues with light leakage. This is with the stock strap but I'm hoping the Kiwi strap that I ordered will make it better cause I really want to like this facial interface. Otherwise I'll consider getting one from VRCover
Are you having light leakage from the vents or around the face cover?
Just ordered my quest 3, together with this facial interface and the bobovr M3. Cant wait for them to arrive, though the headstrap has some small delay
what made you decide on the M3 over the S3? you're lucky to get both a good strap and face gasket off the bat, we had to put up with the default for months.
@Verociity Definitely money haha. I also like to sleep in vrchat so I had the feeling the other straps would get in the way, and I don't need a battery so I just know that the little extra softening on the m3 and the facial interface will make the difference. :)
@@Y__umeko sleep in VRchat? not chill out or meditate, but actually sleep? what happens?
@@Verociity Well, I also chill out in vrc, but sometimes you have those days you know, where you just feel bad and then its really nice if you can fall asleep together with friends and stuff. It can help get your mind off things or like, it can be nice in general. You just need to watch out that you dont start mixing irl and vrc together.
@Verociity Its also not that uncommon actually, there are entire world dedicated to sleeping, but most people dont sleep in public because its just hard with little kids, crashers etc. You shouldn't be surprised when you see somebody sleep haha, I fell asleep once in a macdonalds, where all the little kids and crashers go. Dont ask me how lmao
I just bought this, I hope it is as good as your review says as well as many in the comments have said.
I am playing for longer each session now as I am getting fitter from playing and so need a more comfortable face plate and cushion.
Anyone else have a BoBo Headset that has the problem that I do where it drops down to low and goes out of focus and you have to keep pulling the back down and lifting the front up back into position ?
I've been using the leather cover more lately as it's summer now and I noticed the foam is just as soft as the silk pad. I'm sure you'll like it, I can't imagine using anything else now as there's nothing that needs improving here.
Does it still fit in the Meta Q3 charger with this gasket?
It does but you do have to remove the nose cover to seat it properly.
Will this work with the KKCOBVR?
I don't have that yet but I did test it on the GOMRVR strap in this video which is very similar. If you try making the adjustments I made here it should work for the KKCOBVR.
Got any new beatsaber maps otw?
I'm almost done with a Rammstein map.
So there is no light coming in through any of the air vents?
Only if I stand directly under a light and even then I only notice it if I'm looking at it with the screen turned off, so it's practically nothing. The first version of this did have some light leak but that's long gone.
Ok, fine. I am tryin the silk one... One issue with the AMVR that I have, at least with the leather cushion, is that the cushion is quite soft and narrow its backer is quite wide and edge-ish so if I tighten to far or have an off position it can bypass the cushion and dig into my face.
I'm not sure what you mean, it's a bit wider for me but fits perfectly. If its digging into your face could you try adjusting the spacer back one level?
How easy is it to clean? I like leather because it's easy to wipe clean, even if there is a lot of sweat from a hard session
Very easy, I just rinse and squeeze out the water and leave it to dry, looks as good as new. I'm thinking for serious active sessions I might just swap to the leather and silk for everything else.
Will this fit with the Aubika fast charging headstrap?
It's compatible, the Aubika strap clips onto the side so it doesn't touch the face gasket.
TBH I don't really have any problems with the stock Q3 interface. With my Q3 Elite battery strap (a good, latest Dec/2023 batch) the balance is so good I don't need to tighten the headband very much so it kinda floats on my face. I still may try out this new interface when it becomes available at my local Amazon store.
The problem for me is the stock gasket limits the FOV too much and I can barely tighten it without it being painful. If I were to simply let it float the FOV would be even smaller, but with this I can finally get it much closer and still feel comfortable even when compressed which is inconceivable with the stock gasket, to me that's the real game changer.
@@Verociity With the stock interface and eye relief fully inward I don’t need to crank the tension much at all to get the max FOV. I guess it depends on the size and shape of your head. As long as we all find ways to get the best personal experience that’s the main thing.
@@tomc1380 that's really surprising, the stock Q3 gasket doesn't have a bad FOV but to get any closer it does get uncomfortable, so that's why I much prefer this as it not only feels wider but the silk pad is just far more comfortable.
@@Verociity Ya, still looks like a good alternative interface. I'll probably wait for a better quality Q3 interface to be offered from VRcover. I still use and love their standard interface with thin cool pad on my Q2 (now retired). Cheers.
Is this suppose to click tight in the Quest 3? Mine doesnt snap and stays loose inside the quest? Thank you
It does stay in tight for me. Which part doesn't snap in? It might be the spacers that aren't even.
@@Verociity will check again later. Thnx
I just checked mine again now and realised it can come loose if the spacers aren't snapped in while the rest of it is snapped into the headset. It's easy to dislodge the spacer if you pull it the wrong way. The gasket itself snaps in tightly, it's actually quite hard to get out.
Should be very comfortable, since you know ice silk is one of the fabrics used to make underwear.
Ok now I'm considering buying some ice silk underwear 🤔 I'm surprised no one thought of using this in a facial interface until now.
Ikr picked up some for my wife this Christmas, so was going to be panty joke, After finding out it was used for men's and women's and even used for socks. I leaned towards a more serious comment.
No idea how anyone finds this comfortable. Edges are sharp on the facial covers, tried both and they dug into my face. After less than 2 minutes I already knew im returning it.
Do you mean the gasket is too narrow? It's even wider than the default so I'm not sure how that's happening. It's not the leather or silk covers themselves that are 'sharp' are they?
You've sold me on this I think I'm going to get one especially since you get closer to the lens my right lens has a small scratch on it due to my glasses somehow I'm not even sure when it happened. I now have prescription lenses and I feel if I get closer to the screen I won't notice the spot as much. During games I don't really notice it but on the quest home screen I can see it as a tiny blur especially if I'm looking for it since I know it's there
Let me know if the prescription lenses helps make the scratch less visible, I was thinking it may only enlarge it. We've got to be really careful with the lenses.
@@Verociity I will. Should be here in a day or so. It took the coating off my glasses lens
@@Verociity it has made minimal difference but I think using glasses just makes more glare and makes it more visible. Eliminating the double glare has helped a little. I only notice it in the quest menu. I havnt really noticed it in game or just am too immersed to even realize I'm seeing it. I can return for a new one but I'll be out of the device for 2 weeks or more in sure. Not sure I wanna do that
@@Gh0stz9211 Would they accept it for a replacement if it's just for a scratch? It's kinda worth it as we'll most likely be using the Quest3 for years.
@@Verociity they said they would I'm just not sure if I wanna wait a month to get it back if it isn't effecting the games any. It just looks like the natural glare you get In the lens during pass-through menus
Is this compatible with the Meta Charging Dock?
It is but you do have to remove the nose cover to seat it properly.
Best get the Vive deluxe audio strap for 20-30$ USD and then the adapter to use it(10-18$) on the quest 3.
best audio and comfort.
i dont have a quest, but i had used 2 vive deluxe audio straps on my pimax 5k+ and 8KX.
much better than stock.
That's a head strap, this is a facial interface and cover, although you can use that strap with this.
@@Verociity
Yes(i seen you mention the headpiece to go with it, so i recommended the Vive deluxe audio strap),
So, i would just get a nice face/cover for the quest 3.
and then use/get the vive deluxe audio strap for audio/comfort.
it would eliminate the bad audio(not needing to add your headphones)
and it would be comfortable too.
@@KingTodd I've been intrigued by it, but hows the audio and what would you compare it to? A lot of VR headphones have been a little disappointing.
@@Verociity
i've had these VR headsets since 2018.
Vive(was a friends)
Samsung Odyssey WMR
Oculus CV1
Pimax 5K+
Pimax 8KX
My wife had a Quest 2 and Index.
(i tried her index).
I can say samsung had the best mic out of them all.
Good speakers(too bad its discontinued)
Index also had really good audio.
only downside, others can hear it if too loud(sits over the ears, but the mic in it was good to cancel echo).
I've done two different headphones before(studio grade ones. AKG K7XX and Sennheiser 6XX)
What i had to use before i got my vive deluxe audio strap for my pimax headsets.
pimax had released three different headstraps.
the SMAS, KDMAS and DMAS.
the SMAS was REALLY REALLY crap.
the KDMAS was a on ear experience headphones that was good, but not much bass(felt flat, and needed to go through a sound card to sound good).
The DMAS was even better, but it had the same issues as index but worse IMO(it was over the ear headphones).
(it would leak sound into the mic, so other can hear my audio sometimes from my experience, great sounds though)
once i bought the adapter to use the vive deluxe audio strap for both of my pimax headsets.
you could instantly hear things much easier, the bass was the best i would hear out of them all(treble too).
everyones voices for example in VRchat was much easier to understand too(just sounded overall better to me).
my wife tried my 5K+, and was more surprised and like it more over her index.
(so i am now using my 8KX, and bought another vive deluxe so i can use it instead of pimax DMAS).
this has been my experience over the past little over 6 years of playing VR.
The koss kc375 sounds better than vive deluxe
Is the ice silk cover washible or cleanible?
It should be washable as it's slightly breathable, it should wash and dry quite easily which is what I'll be doing. I'll let you know.
Will this work with the BOBO M3?
It works. I have both and it works fine.
I reduce the pressure the headset is lose I like to play fast paced games fps shooters etc so I like it to be secure honestly feel like it’s a design flaw if there were no creases in the pad I can’t see it being a issue tbh I was just as surprised as u sound considering how rough the stock is to touch, the stock pad was never a issue for me just the light bleed from nose area just an afterthought maybe it’s so soft I felt like I could tighten more than standard stock but in reality left marks on my face I’ll give it another try 2 nite with a bit less pressure see how it goes
Are you getting creases with both the ice silk and PU leather pads? The fabric pad is so much worse than the Quest2 fabric, in fact I've never heard so many complaints about it than any other default face gasket ever. It's surprising enough that you're getting creases with the ice silk, but even more surprising that you prefer the fabric pad instead.
@@VerociityI don’t perfer the stock it’s the opposite I love the feel of the ice silk cotton it’s just the fact that it left marks on my forehead from the creases which I was not expecting so bk to the stock for me , haven’t tried the leather one yet and really not interested in trying only brought the product for the ice silk cotton and nose light blocker. Never owned a quest 2 so can’t comment really didn’t find quest 3 uncomfortable just don’t like the light bleed from nose area
damn u started talking about the 3d printed facial interface from the beyond hmd and I thought you were going to mention a product like that for the MQ3 😭
I don't even care about the light, in fact i prefer being able to look down by my nose to see the real world while im in full VR, just for awareness. But I'm praying someone makes a face scanned interface for MQ3 soon, because the perfect fit makes such a huge difference!
I mention that as we can practically get the same effect without having to go to such lengths as this is a complete light seal. I stand on a small mat in the centre of my play space which is what I learned from Cas and Chary, so I always know where I am without having to break the immersion by looking through the gap.
@@Verociity I use the same trick, and sometimes I use a rotating bar stool when playing melee oriented games so I don’t keep leaping out and breaking stuff IRL lmao
But for the facial interface, it’s true you can get full light blockage, but the 3d printed facial interfaces do more than just that. It’s the way that it sits on your face. Feels so much better
@@mudai_ a rotating bar stool is a GREAT idea, sometimes I want to play seated but I have more maneuverability standing so that sounds very practical, I'll try it. Yea those Beyond interfaces seem like the ultimate, but it's great that we can get something similar for cheap with this.
Do they have one for quest 2
They do but it's not as good as this, it's just leather and the FOV is about the same as the stock, I used it until I retired my Quest2.
How do you clean/wash the ice silk cover?
I use a damp bath towel and rub over them. Works fine. Not too wet, or it will take up too much water.
@@RollinFilmsIf its absorbent would it be better to soak completely and dry them out? That's what I intend to do.
@@Verociity Ok, lemme know if they can take it 🤔😁
So basickly the face meterial that shiped with the orginal headsets Vive most wmr's and oculious well not sure about that last one.
Do you mean they all have the same default fabric cover? My Oculus Rift CV1 came with foam (like a sponge), I think the fabric pads are more recent since Quest1/2. I've always replaced the default pad within days.
Anyone know if this will work with the kiwi battery strap?
The Kiwi Design elite battery strap? That's what I'm using in the video, it snaps onto the sides so it doesn't touch the face gasket.
I'm trying to use this facial interface with Kiwi's battery elite strap, but I can't get the upper part of the facial interface to snap correctly, they remain loose and I could just pull it off from there. Maybe it's because of the bulkier strap? Is anybody else having this problem / did anybody manage to get over it?
I'm using the Kiwi strap in this video and it fits fine. Did you double check the spacers are locked in place? I sometimes dislodged them and made the whole gasket loose without realising.
@@Verociity yes, and they are locked! 😕
@@ordnaelshideout you might have to ask AMVR about that. If it stays compressed when wearing it's probably ok though, unless it's so loose it could fall out.
@@Verociity gladly it doesn't seem like it's going to fall out, so I might just wait and see how it goes in the long run 🤷🏻♂️
I just wish it didn’t have the light leaks. Had to use black tape to block the light leaks. It could have been the best ever if they would’ve fixed the light leaks
V1 did have light leaks which they pulled, they now only sell the V2 which fixed the vents and is the one you see here. I don't experience any leakages in this which is one of the main advantages I mentioned, wouldn't have made the video otherwise.
@@Verociity hmm I wonder if I can exchange it. Thanks
Just ordered you should of dropped a amazon link. I'll let people know here ho it goes.
I thought it'd be safer to buy directly from AMVR to ensure you get the V2, but it looks like Amazon also have it now: amzn.to/4aZhTrB
Is this good for glasses?
There's 3 levels for the spacer so it should be enough room, I don't use glasses so I can't say for sure.
I just want a decent gun stock. Why is that so hard?
if you have the money for it ive heard good things about the ForceTube haptic gunstock
The only AMVR one I can find on Amazon has 4 stars. Is that it? nothing called AMVR Ice Silk Facial Interface.
If it doesn't say V2 it might be different as that's what they sent me, they delayed it as they had to revise the original. AMVR only sell v2 now so Amazon might have the older version.
See i bought this face gasket, but i find it uncomfortable, even at the highest spacer setting, the quest 3 just pushes mlre onto your face than the 2, and its uncomfortable as hell 😥 was hoping this gasket would have helped but nope, still hurts after like 30 mins use
Are you using a halo or elite strap? As these pads are so soft I do find it compresses a lot (even with the extra surface area) so I can't make it too tight with an elite strap. With a halo strap however I can distribute the weight/pressure more evenly, maybe that would be a better solution for you.
@@Verociity that may be it, got an elite strap, and the quest 2 has a halo strap. thanks, ill look into grabbing a halo strap for the quest 3 :)
@@Chiptuverse The Zyber Ace might also be an option for you as it's similar to an elite but has a hard strap on top, although a halo strap is still better for distributing the face pressure.
I can’t seem to pull the spacer thing out any tips?
Are you pulling the part where it locks in? There's 4 in total. I demonstrated how to do it in the video.
@@Verociity I’m not really sure what to pull it just doesn’t move
the light blocker touches my eye and my eye lashes touch the lenses that’s why I want to change the space
@@Verociitynvm got it
@@mistavr9420 It's really touching your eyes with this face gasket? I can only get it to touch my nose if I have the headstrap on really tight.
What about sweat?
It does absorb sweat a bit, but it's very easy to soak and dry. As it's summer here I've switched to the leather pad, the foam density is the same so it's equally soft as the silk.
What about the marks it leaves on ur forehead massive disadvantage
I haven't any marks on my head using the silk pad after hours, unlike the default fabric which leaves a mark within just 20 mins. Are you speaking from experience? Because if you're actually getting marks on your head from the silk pad then the default fabric must be leaving prehistoric craters.
Of course I’m speaking from experience u think I’d waste my time complaining about a product I’ve not tried, mine arrived yesterday like I sed after 10 mins of use the silk ice pad left marks all over my forehead to be clear the stock has never done this even after 4 hours straight gaming. Tbh u would expect it to be the other way around considering the stock is rough to touch but not once has it left a mark on my face only good thing about product is the nose light blocker little did I know u can buy them for £4 hindsight a beautiful thing 🤦♂️
@@jayjayp9618 Have you tried reducing the pressure? It's been the complete opposite experience for me, I can compress it far more than the the fabric pad and feel no discomfort.
Feels like a 6 minute long ad. No mention of the light bleed that I've heard from others? Also kinda suspicious of the "not sponsored" thing in the description given that you had a discount code to provide
The light bleed is from version 1 which was discontinued, they fixed it and now only sell v2 which they state in the title. I have an affiliate link but that doesn't mean I'm sponsored, I only get a small % of a sale. I'm always as objective as possible, I was just genuinely impressed with every aspect as it really does solve all the problems I had with the standard gasket.
@@Verociity I appreciate that they’ve iterated to fix the light bleed, although I didn’t catch you mentioning that in the video so that might been something worth bringing up. Seems like a solid option, I’m just suspicious of the lack of criticism since I see that a lot in VR content with cheap accessories sponsoring small channels
@@thejonofalltrades that's why I mentioned at the end that I couldn't find anything to fault when I usually find something. It's the first accessory that I've considered perfect and I made sure to explain all the reasons why as clearly as possible so it's not just vague praises (which is what I'm used to seeing), I'm really just sharing my honest experience with it. I didn't mention the V1 as they're not selling it anymore so there's no need to worry about that. AMVR have been around for years, I used their Quest2 grips from the start and their newer Pico4 accessories are really innovative, so I'm just trying to highlight some smaller brands that deserve more praise for pushing the envelope.
Bruh, I just got my Aliexpress facial interface in the mail 🥲 Also, why is AMVR charging me $5 USD tax when I'm only ordering the $6 ice silk facepad lol (shipping to Canada). I tried ordering the whole set ($30), and there's still a $5 tax...with or without your code, tf.
I don't know about the taxes for Canada but it's fine for me, you might want to ask them.
Living in Canada sucks when it comes to buying something and high taxes. It changed so much throughout the last several years. I can't understand why people choose to live here anymore. I was born here 56 years ago and seen it change and just ripped apart throughout.
Is the video sponsored or the product supplied by AMVR???
They did supply it but it's not sponsored, I'm just genuinely impressed. I should mention that in the description now.
I have this. The interface keeps dislodging. Quite good but not perfect at all.
Dislodging does that mean it doesnt fit in tight? I just got mine and i cant get it to click
I just checked mine again now and realised it can come loose if the spacers aren't snapped in while the rest of it is snapped into the headset. It's easy to dislodge the spacer if you pull it the wrong way. The gasket itself snaps in tightly, it's actually quite hard to get out.
only thing missing is eye tracking :)
The Quest pro or PSVR2 may be the headsets for you.
DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE A BIG NOSE it will not fit and cut into your nose, i had to return mine.
Like Rocky
Only v1 had the nose issue, they fixed it in V2 which features in this video. You could adjust the spacer further back, or remove the nose cover, there's a lot of space for me.
Same experience... bought on similar suggestions, found it making frequent contact with my nose. Could not correct without significant alteration to interface... i.e. sanding/cutting. Returned. Still waiting on better solution.
@@erickliewer4968 You were altering the gasket itself and not just the nose cover? Was the gasket too narrow or wide?
Gasket was too narrow... bumping into my nose constantly, regardless of eye relief setting. Didn't use the nose cover.@@Verociity
Don’t buy air vents let light in nose piece is great but as nice as the silk pad feels it has a crease in the top which leaves creases in ur forehead after 10mins use to be clear the stock has never done this even after 4 hours straight gaming u can see the crease in the video
The light leaks were only on V1 which was pulled early on, the V2 in this video is fine which is all they sell. It looks creased but it sits flat on your face when worn, as you can see my finger slide across it everything flattens down very smoothly. If you are finding it leaving a mark you can always ease the pressure, but it's so soft I leave it compressed and don't have any issues after hours. The only marks I've had left on my face we're always from the stock fabric pad from day one, it's unbearable.
I’ve got the v2 and vents still let a bit of light in not a deal breaker but u would expect it to be the other way around considering that the stock is rough to touch . Only good thing about the product is the nose light blocker little did I know u can buy them for £4 , hindsight a beautiful thing 🤦♂️
I purchased those, and the quality is not as good as the original. I also wear glasses, and this mask is narrower than the original. So, I'm not sure what you mean by saying it's wider (you can measure it if you have doubts). Additionally, the 'silk' cover has 'cut offs' on the sides that stick out, and the fit isn't ideal. I have an average nose size, but I can feel more pressure with the AMVR mask compared to the original. So, I think it's very individualized. It's not a solution that works for everyone.
Are you feeling nose pressure from the side or front? If from the front you can adjust the spacer back by one level, if from the side you can also remove the nose cover quite easily. I put both gaskets side by side in the video so you can see the AMVR is slightly wider, which I also notice when wearing it. Did you buy v1 or v2? maybe the earlier version is a different size.
I think he's wearing it wrong. The stock faceplate is garbage compared to this one.
Any BOBOVR S3 Pro users try this?
Someone reviewed the S3 pro with this and says it does work: chrisduke.tv/bobovr-s3-pro-super-strap-for-quest-3-review
I'd like to check this one out but after I bought the overpriced official gasket I fell kind of trapped in a sunken cost fallacy trap. Not that the official one is bad but...
The way I see it, if you plan on using your Quest3 for a few years then it makes sense to make it as comfortable and immersive as possible. The official gasket is the same as the one in box, so if you're willing to buy that you might as well buy something that actually improves the experience. I actually can't believe anyone actually buys the meta gaskets, especially when they're almost double the price.
Why so wrinkly? Does this not cause an issue with light bleed or your forehead?
Do you mean the leather or the silk pad which looks wrinkly? I don't have any light leakage with either of them, it's completely sealed.
@@Verociity yeah the silk one - I saw a few reviews saying - wrinkly and caused light leakage still.... might give it a shot.
@@conuk35 Version 1 of this did have light leakage but it was due to the vents, they pulled it and fixed the issue so now it's fine in V2. The leather and silk pads themselves don't have any light leakage as they sit flat on your face when compressed.
What are the negatives?
Be objective or its only sponsored sales pitch not a review.
I was thinking of buying this but there are many complaints from reviewers.
1. the vents allow more light in then the oem.
2. The adjustments require removing the interface completely to adjust.
3. The plastic feels cheap and easy to break.
4. The nose piece is cheap, breaks and or gets in front of the lenses.
If it were just vague praises then maybe it'd seem suspicious but I explained all the advantages and why in detail as objectively as possible so there'd be no doubt over these claims, I also mentioned that there are no negatives other than being unable to see through the nose gap which isn't really an issue with the improved passthrough.
1. V1 did have some light leakage but it was fixed and now they only sell V2 which is fine.
2. Yes you do need to remove the gasket to adjust it but this is something you'd only ever do once.
3. The plastic feels very sturdy to me, just as solid as the default gasket, it's not something that's going to take any abuse either.
4. The nose piece only needs to block the light and it's silicone which is soft and adjusts over every nose evenly, what exactly should an expensive silicone feel like? I'm not sure how you'd break a small piece of silicone without forcibly tearing it up. If it somehow did get in front of the lenses it would take 2 seconds to snip.
If it turns out I just made everything up I would wipe out all my credibility in one video. If something really is this good it could actually mean it's a great accessory that achieves what it sets out to do and excels which is why I was so specific in this video.
@@Verociity thank you for the reply. Like I said this one caught my attention and sounds like most bad reviews were on the first version and were addressed so thats good. I will give this a try thanks again.
@@o0Silverwolf0o I think I addressed just about all the issues in the video and the rest in the description for what I learned after. There's really nothing I can complain about at all, however the silk pad is a little more absorbent than I thought but it's very easy to wash when I need to, the rest of the experience has been a huge improvement.
Update: Having purchased this "updated" interface and been using this for nearly 2 weeks, I gotta say I don't recommend it. It does indeed have very noticeable light bleed through the vents. You can see straight through them. This may not be the case if it's set to the closest setting, but then why have an adjustable interface?
The foam is comfortable, but only for a short time. It's low density, so It flattens out rather quickly like memory foam tends to do, and soon, you just feel the plastic edges pressing painfully on your skin. This may be better on a halo headset than an elite.
The nose peice also likes to go under the nostrils sometimes, and while it does cut out most of the light, it still lets some in.
The plastic feels ok. I didn't feel like I would break it.
So in conclusion, if you want an interface that is set to close and are using a halo style strap this may be good for you, but if you require an adjustable interface on an elite strap and want to use it for extended periods of time, I would look elsewhere
@@o0Silverwolf0o I've got it pressed almost to where I can see the edge of the screen and it's still comfortable with both leather and silk pads, on both halo and elite straps, even after hours of use it's still soft. I only notice the light leakage if I'm directly under a light and with the screen off, even then I have to look for it to see it. If you do find something more suitable let me know because I just can't imagine anything better.
Too bad its not on Amazon
I thought it'd be safer to buy directly from AMVR to ensure you get the V2, but it looks like Amazon also have it now: amzn.to/4aZhTrB
Costs double the price of the light blocker and silicon cover I bought, and will get soaked with sweat overtime requiring replacing. While I do think it is really nice and your review covers most of the useful information, your statement that it is objectively better is false. Especially cause it has those 2 huge downsides.
It comes with a leather cover so you can always use that and also get the benefit of added ventilation, a wider gasket and also the nose cover. You can also switch to the silk just by sticking it on. With all the advantages and versatility it really is the best, I wouldn't limit my options, comfort and FOV just to save $15.
Loved your videos, however the random sound effect and "memes" is decreasing the video quality, other than that it's great
I'll keep that in mind, those memes are the one thing keeping me sane from hours of editing.
nah that shit funny ash@@Verociity
@@Verociitythey’re fine, they just need to be integrated in a bit more
Ive heard from several people thay the loght leakage is horrible and sounds like a deal breaker for me.
V1 did have light leakage which was pulled and replaced with V2 which is what you see in this video, it's been fine for me.
@@Verociity Oh that's great to hear that v2 has fixed that issue, maybe I'll have to get one, I wonder how can you tell the difference between 1 and 2?
@@Grainsauce They confirmed with me as I asked beforehand, it also says in the title on the AMVR site. V1 was removed months ago so you don't need to worry about it.
Funny how a product needs attachements to be comfortable enough to wear. Fuck meta
They created an amazing headset but skimped on all the accessories to incentivize upgrades, unfortunately they didn't count on everyone else making much better accessories than them.
They made an amazing headset for the cost. They're actually selling them at a loss. They make no profit on them due to manufacturing cost.
So If they focused too much on making it super comfortable then it would cost even more and most people are completely fine with how it comes right out of the box anyways.
The reality is, only a small amount of people find the need to upgrade for comfort and Meta was thoughtful enough to make it very easily upgradable with aftermarket straps and facial interfaces for us hardcore VR users.
You also have to keep in mind Meta has to design their facial interface to be as comfortable as possible for a huge variety of face sizes and shapes, all while being super durable and resistant to sweat and mold.
