So
after spending a full day with my Quest, and also getting and trying
the Oculus Earbuds today, I have a few odd issues I'd like to mention to
the community here, to see if they're common to everyone, or an unusual
flaw.. Each on their own wouldn't normally be enough for me to complain
about or get an exchange for, but I'm finding so many small issues, that it's making me worry.
The first one I noticed, was the fabric along the right side below
the headphone jack clicks when held there/pressed on, like the sound of a
sticker with a bubble under it, or tape that's not properly stuck
down.. I find myself touching that spot whenever I shift/adjust the
headset on my face to make it fit right. Not a major issue on it's own,
but it could get worse over time. And it is kinda distracting..
There's a minor brightness gradient in the left eye, when viewing
certain black screens.. Basically a lighter-looking zone covering
roughly half that screen. And one eye, I think it's in the right, seems
to have a faint green pixel on black screens, off in my peripheral
view.. Tho neither of these issues is all that bad, or noticeable unless
you're looking for it. My original Rift had similar screen issues like
these, and they eventually exchanged it for one that didn't, but this
isn't quite that bad.
There's also some odd screen tearing/glitches that can sometimes
happen at almost regular intervals (every few moments), most noticeably
in the Home menu, but also in other apps, right across the middle of my
view. As well as an occasional audio glitch, most noticeable when I
mouse over menu items in the Home menu. The audio glitch reminds me of a
similar one that used to happen with my Oculus Go, until I got a
replacement.. And it seemed to fix itself, at least for now, by
restarting the device, but not sure it's gone.
Finally, the Oculus Quest Earbuds I just got today seem to have a
noticeable static buzz/hiss that occurs in every app and Home.. Only
stopping during the transitions between apps.. I happen to also have the
Oculus Earbuds for my CV1 Rift, and they do not have any significant
buzz/static noise like this, which is why I noticed it so badly. This
was the final issue that prompted me to make this post.. 😕

Everytime, after around 15/20 minutes, it seems the Quest gets hot enough to make me feel pain in my forehead and my forehead warms up as if I had a fever. So I have to remove the Quest for half an hour (meanwhile, I feel like a strange little headache).I have a playstation VR that I can use for hours whitout problems, but the Quest instead becomes like a torture machine on your head after few dozen of minutes. If I touch it with my hands it does not look so hot, but makes me painfully burn my forehead.
This also happened to other people I had the Quest try...Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I ended up exchanging my headset with Amazon, which didn't take too long thankfully.. And although this new headset is better than the previous one.. It IS an earlier batch, and the right touch controller's battery cover slides off real easy when I play Beat Saber, compared to the previous ones which didn't..For the most part, other than the controller, this unit doesn't have any real major issues to complain about so far.. EXCEPT 2 dead/white-spot pixels and one flickering one, visible in the right eye, but only when viewing the Passthrough mode.. If it's not unusual or not considered a problem.. then whatever, i'll ignore it.. But I'm REAL worried it might be why I still have weird tracking glitches, even with this unit. I didn't check the previous unit for this issue, but if it also had these white dots in the tracking camera, maybe that's why it was having issues too. 😕

Does this one still buzz like your first one? I just got the quest earbuds yesterday and they buzz and hiss pretty bad. My don’t headphones do it too but it’s almost not noticeable.

My Quest has the sticky/clicky/bubble-y feel in the exact same spot (right-hand side below the headphone jack)! Glad to know I'm not the only one :smile:
