- Remove your Oculus Quest from the box. You’ll also want to remove any stickers on inserts at this time.

- Using your free hand tighten the velcro straps on the left and right side of your head. It should feel firm but not tight.
- Tighten the top velcro strap until it is firm against the back of your head.
- Remove your hand to ensure that the headset is tight enough against your face.
- Adjust your headset up or down to make sure there is minimal light bleed and that it sits comfortably.
How to adjust Oculus Quest for best fit with glasses
For the folks out there who use glasses in order to see, there is another step. The Oculus Quest includes a plastic piece which will make it more comfortable to wear, and you’ll need to install it before playing.
- Remove the plastic insert from inside the box. It has an icon of glasses on the top.
- Remove the foam insert from your Oculus Quest.
- Press the plastic insert onto the foam pad. You’ll hear a click when it is correctly attached.
- Line up the foam pad with the cutouts around the lenses of the Quest.
- Press down firmly to reattach the foam insert into your Quest.
Getting the perfect fit with Oculus Quest is going to differ from person to person. Some folks will need to make sure the top strap is extra secure, while others won’t need to worry about it as much. After all, everyone has a different face, which means the headset needs to be readjusted for each person as they get ready to play.
For the best experience you will want a firm fit that doesn’t feel tight. If you’re new to VR, you want the back of the strap to sit against the lower back of your head. It should sit at the top of your neck and the bottom of your skull. This way the headset’s weight is better distributed and not all on the front of your face.
