Your headset is also advertised for workouts, but unfortunately that's not possible because sweat always occurs during workouts and apparently the devices aren't sufficiently protected against it, despite completely drying them off with microfiber cloths after use and your silicone cover etc.
It’s my 4th Quest 3 which dies after using it with ElevenTableTennis:-(
I’m in a community with many players and a lot of them have the same problems and must replace their headsets regularly because of this issue… Most die with „tracking failure“ and nothing works. The display moves with head-movement and controller are vibrating every second but aren’t tracked as well… no head and no finger or controller tracking… There are also threads on Reddit… why don’t you seal the chips inside like it is done with smartphones???
As I said in chats before. You should invite me as your product-tester. When your devices lasts for me in the long run, then it's good😉
@pk165271 the headset is badly designed for sports use. The only alternatives are a halo strap with the headset interface removed or a specific cooling fan solution. More details in the thread here -
I have had the same experience. I am on my 4th Quest 3 in less than a year. The latest failure was also a tracking failure. Do any of the aftermarket sweat guards adequately protect the unit?
Hey @MainMan68 We recommend that you use your device when playing sports in an area with a suitable temperature and that you take breaks from time to time, If Rafa Nadal can do it, so can you!
You could also leave suggestions for improvements against sweat for the following devices through this link <https://communityforums.atmeta.com>

@MainMan68 unfortunately, most of the sweat guards do not work as promised. The interface and fan combo mentioned here is probable the best way to reduce sweat damage.
I have the same problem. My oculus broke because sweat got on the glasses while playing Batman. The service said that this is a common problem, unfortunately.
We understand that you have an issue with your Oculus device, we would like to look into this further for you.
