Exercise apps killing Quest 3 headsets!

Exercise? What's that! No danger of that happening to me :D

I do sometimes play thrill of the fight and may sweat a bit, these people ruining their Q3's must be sweating buckets. Who'd have thought, putting a moisture source right next to complex electronics = wrecked /s
 
I use mine every day for fitness. I push hard but don’t sweat that much. I leave that for the gym lol a sweat band certainly helps.
 
There's always been issues with sweat and VR headsets. The Index has an issue where sweat can get past the seals and behind the lenses for example.

A lot of the issue is people do not try to mitigate their sweat. Use PU, absorbent or open/breathable facial interfaces. Wear sweat bands, bandanas, or tube scarfs on your head to absorb sweat and stop it getting into the headset. Sensible preventative measures.

To be honest if you're going to be doing a lot of excercise get a cheap headset like a second hand Quest 2 or a 3S, with the open facial interface.

I wouldn't risk my Quest Pro with exercise apps. It's particually vulnerable to sweat destroying the face detection LEDs.
 
Tried a boxing game once, quickly stopped when the sweat went onto the lenses. Not far from getting inside the case I think.

Nothing wrong with sweat and electronics as long as it was designed for it.

Don't think anyone is in the wrong here unless it was being sold as suitable for exercising with.
