CoverPlus System
Installing the Coverplus cooling fan is very straightforward and attaches easily to the front of the Quest 2 headset. It weighs less than 60g, which doesn’t throw the weight balance off the headset dramatically, and the snap-on design is not only easy to install and take off, but is compatible with all types of head straps, including Elite and third party straps.
It provides a continuous stream of cool air to prevent the headset from overheating during extended use. The cooling fan features two settings depending on the users preference, and features a built-in rechargeable 700mah battery, which can be used 2 hours 40 minutes (II gear) to 3 hours 30 hours (I gear), and it only takes an hour to fully charge.
The Coverplus fan is powered by a USB-C cable that connects to the Quest 2’s own USB-C port, so there’s no need for extra batteries or power sources.
The fan itself is made of high-quality materials and is designed to be both lightweight and durable, so it won’t weigh down the headset or break easily. Additionally, the fan’s sleek design matches the Quest 2‘s aesthetic perfectly, making it a seamless addition to your setup.
HiBloks face cover pad is an anti-fog upgrade from the stock Quest 2 surround. The peripheral wraparound and bottom vent openings provide more air volume to the fan. The material is made of skin-friendly and cool fabric, breathable and filled with sweat-absorbing sponge

The Hibloks CoverPlus Cooling Fan has a fan speed of 5,000 RPM and a noise level of less than 25 decibels, which means that it’s relatively quiet while still providing effective cooling.
Conclusion
The Hibloks CoverPlus Cooling Fan is definitely worth the investment if you’re someone who uses the Quest 2 for extended periods of time. On a play by play comparison I prefer the BoboVR F2 Fan For Quest 2 which nudged ahead for aesthetic reasons. But this all-in-one cooling system is definitely worth a rattle.
You can pick one up from the Hibloks site, Amazon and any decent stockist for around $33.99.
