you can hear the fan when it gets really hot, but its so quite that you dont notice the fan unless its very quite (just on the menu for example)

I can barely hear the fan if i have my earphones out and its very quiet but when im playing i use in ear earphones and hear nothing from outside.

Catalog shop refused to exchange it saying that serial numbers didn't match from headset and box! Even though it was a new sealed unit only a week old.
Spoke to Oculus and they were superb, sent it back to them yesterday for an exchange.
What strap is everyone using? I have an elite strap, but man it still puts loads of pressure on my forehead/eyebrows area no matter what I do. There are a number of cheapo halo straps kicking around, but no idea if they are any good (probs all from the same factory in China).
Any recommendations? Or should I get a VR Covers faceplate first?

I've tried a few halo straps and for me they are super uncomfortable. I ended up going back to the Elite strap after some more adjustment and it's been fine since.
I have the VR cover faceplate as well, it's much softer and comfier.

I use either the basic strap, basic strap with faceplate on the back, or mvh studios headstrap. Depends on if my boy has recently played and if i can be bothered to swap the straps back. Don't find the default too bad but rarely use it for more than an hour, often less.

I got the cheapo Eyglo strap as a stand in when i first got my Quest but it's been great so i've not bothered replacing it, all i did was add a cheapo head strap pad to the rear.
Full setup is
Eyglo head strap with cheapo rear pad
BoboVR F2 facial interface with AMVR cushion
Charmast 10400mAh Power Bank
KLIM Fusion earphones
The GOMRVR halo strap with the VRcover faceplate and AMVR back headstrap/pad. Comfy enough to fall asleep in.

That looks too heavy at the front, is that another powerback at the front ?
Soldato
The only power bank is at the back, its perfectly balanced on my finger if i hold it by the centre of the top strap.
Looks like one of those fans to stop it steaming up in the headset.

Yep, although i never get fogging it's just the build-up of warm air in the headset irritated my eyes so this helped massively.
How loud is the fan on it?
Soldato
On the highest setting you can just about hear it, but the low setting moves more than enough air and is pretty much silent.

Ah excellent thats actually great service! Hear a fair few people complain about their service but had nothing but good experiences personally. Let us know if your new headset no longer has the issue
Using an elite strap with good results but I'm not playing anything that requires a lot of quick movement. Mine is loose enough that you could 'almost' pull the headset off without touching the adjustment dial.
I do strap wound out, place on head, pull back of strap under bean, tighten a bit, grab front with both hands and set height and angle for vertical sweetspot, weight mostly on cheek bones, tighten back dial a couple of clicks more. Going to depend on headshape which strap works best.

Quest 2 Update V34
Is it the Elite Strap with the battery? If not and it's just the ordinary Elite Strap without the battery than my suggestion would be put something on the back of the strap as a counterweight. Anything you have, even a phone. It's just to see if that is more comfortable for you. If it is, then you can do something more permanent. Like putting a battery pack there to extend your play time. I think there are attachments that you buy or print out using a 3D printer for the Elite Strap.
