Shopping for vr gaming hardware accessories means weighing more than the headset model. Four Oculus listings here span a wide price range, from a basic untested unit to a new Rift S, with a used original Rift and an open-box Rift S in between. Your first move is to decide how much risk you are comfortable with: used and untested units cost less, while open-box and new units cost more. Your second move is to pick the tracking and feature package that fits your PC setup.
Quick Take
- For the only listing marked New, choose the New Oculus Rift S PC-Powered Headset.
- For the Rift S design without reaching the top listed price, the Open-Box Oculus Rift S Full Set in Box is the middle pick.
- For the original sensor-based Rift with controllers, sensors, and a remote, the Used Oculus Rift with Sensors, Controllers, and Remote is the complete package.
- For the lowest listed price in this set, the Untested Lenovo Oculus Rift S with Controllers and Sensor is the high-risk pick.

Used Oculus Rift with Sensors, Controllers, and Remote
At USD 87.87, this used listing is the full original Rift package: the title includes two sensors, controllers, and a remote. It also mentions lens-to-face distance adjustment and connects via Mini DisplayPort and USB 3.0. The main consideration is the used condition; you are getting a headset that has been owned before, and the external sensors mean you are buying into the original Rift's sensor-based tracking setup. If you want the complete original Rift bundle with external sensors, controllers, and a remote, and you can accept prior use, this is the listing that puts the whole package together at a price above the untested unit but below the open-box and new Rift S listings.
Untested Lenovo Oculus Rift S with Controllers and Sensor
This is the bottom of the price spread at USD 40.00, and the title says it all: UNTESTED. The description says the item is sold as-is. It includes two controllers and a sensor. The appeal is the low entry cost to a Rift S model-significantly lower than the other Rift S listings in this set. The limitation is that you have no indication the unit works. For a shopper who wants to spend as little as possible and is willing to accept the possibility of a non-functional headset, this is the one. If you need confidence that your headset will power on, this untested listing is not a safe pick.
Open-Box Oculus Rift S Full Set in Box
Listed at USD 249.00, this open-box unit sits between the used options and the new unit. The condition is Open box, and the title and description say it's a full set in box, with the description noting that a 'NEW OPENED BOX' is exactly what's being offered. The trade-off is the open-box condition: the box has been opened, and the price sits close to the new unit. If you want the full-set experience without paying the top listed price, this open-box unit is a middle path.
New Oculus Rift S PC-Powered Headset
At USD 269.99, this is the highest listed price and the only listing marked New in its title. It includes built-in headphones, room-scale VR, Mini DisplayPort and USB 3.0 connectivity, and a one-month manufacturer warranty mention. The title focuses on the headset itself in black. The limitation is the price: it is the top of the range in this set, so you are paying the most for the new condition. For a shopper who wants the least-risky condition and is willing to pay for it, this new listing is the target.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
If a listed warranty mention is your priority, the New Oculus Rift S PC-Powered Headset is the listing to pick. If you want the Rift S design but want to stay below the top listed price, the Open-Box Oculus Rift S Full Set in Box is the right match. If the original Rift's sensor-based setup with controllers and a remote sounds right, the Used Oculus Rift with Sensors, Controllers, and Remote is the complete choice. If your main goal is minimal spend and you accept an untested unit, the Untested Lenovo Oculus Rift S with Controllers and Sensor is the only listing at the bottom of the price spread.
