Sound is very much part of the immersion into VR. Consider offering a "Clip on Earphone" to sell for the "Quest and Rift S". I was thinking of something similar to the "bionik BNK-9007 Mantis Detachable On-Ear Headphones for PlayStation VR". With some effort it can be placed on the Oculus headsets the drawback is the color is wrong and its not a perfect fit. The headset should never have been released with speaker system instead of a earphones, this would help correct a major design flaw. The "Next-Gen Quest should defiantly come with quality headphones and a "Halo-headband like what is on the Oculus Rift S for comfort and extended play time.

Coming from the Rift I really miss the simplicity of just putting on the headset. Would love to see an official over-the-ear solution from Oculus.

This would be really good. Currently the only solution is to use really external headphones, which is an additional thing you have to attach again and again. If the headphones would be already pre-mounted and easy to activate "on demand", this would be a thing.

Great idea Lex, would love to see clip-on headphones with a style like that of the Rift's or the Valve Index. This would be an optional add-on that people can choose to buy, not included with the headset.
I believe this would sell well even at a premium price, allowing Oculus to recoup some of the losses they're likely taking on in an attempt to subsidize the headset itself.

or just link to whatever oculus suggests for earphones, since even the tutorial video reccomends using them
