Settling on a PC-powered Oculus headset seems straightforward until you see four listings with different conditions, bundles, and prices. The choice here is not just between the Rift S and the Rift CV1; it is also about how much open-box handling you can accept, how complete you want the kit to be, and where your price limit sits.
Quick take
- If you want a new Rift S, the new-condition listing is the direct match.
- If you prefer a Rift S at a lower listed price and can accept open-box handling, the open-box Rift S listing deserves a close look.
- If a full set in an opened box matters more than sealed packaging, the FULL SET IN BOX Rift S listing is the one that says so.
- If you need sensors, controllers, and a remote and want the lowest listed price in this set, the used Oculus Rift CV1 listing is the only one with that bundle.

Product notes
Oculus Rift S PC-Powered VR Gaming Headset - Black
This open-box Rift S is listed at USD 179.00. The listing describes the box as showing storage wear while the VR unit itself is still factory sealed. The headset includes built-in headphones and room-scale VR, connects through Mini DisplayPort and USB 3.0, and a charger is not listed as included. If you want the Rift S without the new-condition price and can accept a worn outer box, this is the middle price point among the three Rift S listings.
Oculus Rift S PC-Powered VR Gaming Headset Black FULL SET IN BOX "NEW
This Rift S listing is priced at USD 249.00 and is described as a new opened box and a full set in box. The model is identified as the Rift S, and the listing indicates that the included items are everything shown in its photos. It is an open box rather than a sealed unit, so the cosmetic condition is something to judge from those pictures before purchase. Charger inclusion is not specified in the listing. If you want full-set wording and a Rift S, this listing sits between the other two Rift S price points.
New Oculus Rift S PC-Powered VR Gaming Headset - Black
At USD 269.99, this is the only listing in new condition among the four. It carries the Rift S feature set with an 80Hz refresh rate, 110-degree field of view, built-in headphones, and a gyroscope. Connectivity is Mini DisplayPort and USB 3.0. The stated manufacturer warranty is one month. If a new Rift S is your priority rather than an open box or used unit, this listing is the direct answer, with the highest listed price in the group as the trade-off.
Oculus Rift PC-Powered VR Gaming Headset with 2 Sensors, Controllers and Remotes
This used Oculus Rift CV1 listing is the lowest-priced item in the group at USD 87.87. It includes the headset plus sensors, controllers, and a remote, and a charger is listed as included. The plastic-built headset has a 60Hz refresh rate and a 110-degree field of view, with lens-to-face distance adjustment and room-scale VR. Because this is the Rift CV1 rather than the Rift S, you are looking at an older model in used condition. If you want a complete kit at the lowest listed price, this is the one that combines the sensors and controllers with the headset.
