When the 'facial interface' that came with my Oculus 2 wore out, I tried a number of different solutions. FIrst I tried a silicone cushion cover. That was hot, sweaty and uncomfortable. Then I bought a "cooling' face pad that theoretically was compatible with Oculus 2. It was not. It wouldn't 'snap' onto the Oculus and forced the headset into a position where I couldn't maintain focus without cranking the headstrap uncomfortably tight.
While I just got this cover with fan today, it clipped right in and I easily found a comfortable position on my face. The leather covering was much better than the standard neoprene or latex. A quick charge let me use it for an hour, with the fan on intermittent mode. The headset remained comfortable and I never got warm. As advertised, the fan doesn't blow on your eyes and, while it can be heard, the sound is quite low. After a few minutes, I only heard it if I stopped and listened.
The only downside is there doesn't seem any obvious way to charge the fan WITH my Oculus. It needs a separate type-C charger. I'll work on that.
