HOME OF VIRTUAL REALITY
Hygiene is more important than ever now, especially with the recent outbreak of the coronavirus. If you’re going to share a headset with someone it’s a good idea to protect yourself and others from picking up germs from the sweat secreted by others. The cheapest and probably most sensible way to do this is by using disposable face covers. These hygienic covers are suitable for VR entertainment during family gatherings, VR business users, VR experience stores, gaming conventions and other scenarios where some form of wearable mask is required.
Check out our Black Friday VR accessories section, you may get a better deal.
There are many types of disposable covers available, many of which are universal for the majority of VR headsets. Bought in bulk, a typical hygienic face cover will only cost you between 23 and 38 pence; they are inexpensive and do a great job.
The AMVR disposable VR facemask is made from a nonwoven fabric. They are soft and breathable and are the perfect accessory when viewing in VR. They have a flat ear loop on either side of the mask to ensure they stay secure and there are cut-out areas for the eyes and nose area of the mask, allowing you to breathe freely. More importantly the mask protects the part where the skin directly contacts the surrounding part of the inner VR faceplate. There’s no longer any need to worry about sharing your VR headset with others.
The AMVR disposable VR face mask supports the following VR headsets - Gear VR, VR BOX, Oculus Quest, Rift and Rift S, Oculus Go, PlayStation VR, HP Reverb G2, HTC Vive, Vive Pro and Vive Cosmos, Valve Index, HoloLens, Microsoft MR Headset and many other popular VR Headsets.
If you operate a business such as VR gaming experiences, where multiple users are swapping headsets constantly, you may be better off with something a little more substantial, such as the Cleanbox! Cleanbox is a revolutionary device that uses light - specifically medical-grade ultraviolet directional lighting. This means that 99 percent of viruses, bacteria and fungi are eradicated. How long does this take? Unbelievably, less than 60 seconds!

Other accessories to consider
ACCESSORY INDEXMeta Quest 2 BOBOVR M2 Pro Head Strap
After dealing with the costly official Elite strap, I can confidently say that the M2 Pro Strap by BOBOVR has proven to be an outstanding substitute. It truly stands out in terms of comfort, support, and battery longevity. If you're on the hunt for a fresh head strap, I wholeheartedly endorse this one.
Protective face cover
If you love your Quest, you may want to protect it with a protective silicone cover from Eyglo. VR headsets aren't as robust as you’d think, yes, you may have dropped it a few times and it still works, so why bother I hear you say. Well, it’s only a matter of time before the last drop is enough and your headset stops working altogether! However, there is a simple affordable solution.
VR Headset Stand - Universal
If you have the space and like to keep everything neat, tidy and in the right place, a VR headstand is a good idea. The AMVR VR headset stand is an excellent choice and compatible with the Oculus Quest, Quest 2 and the Rift S virtual reality headsets.
Controller straps for Oculus
I must say, KIWI makes some fantastic intuitive products for VR. KIWI also sell knuckle straps that are compatible with the Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift S Touch Controllers. They have a fully adjustable Nylon fixing strap, that is tailor made to fit the controller and wrap securely around your hand. The straps allow you to release your hands from the controllers, but keep them in place, offering greater immersion while in VR. They also provide better protection for your controllers.
Oculus Quest Headphones
Let’s face it, the sound on the Quest or the Quest 2 isn’t overly great, by any means! That’s where the Kiwi Headphones come in. The KIWI Oculus headphones are stereo earbuds that are custom-made, in-ear earphones for Oculus Quest/Quest 2 and Rift S VR Headset. These earbuds are the perfect sound accessory for your VR headset. The cable is high strength, very durable and tough.
