Originally snagged while a listing was up for a short while during quarantine. It was ready a day earlier than assumed and came rather new looking, however I have found it has plenty of HDMI input issues, often losing connection mid-game. Usually I've had to restart both the Oculus software and the headset as a temporary fix numerous times. Software and hardware was easy to manage and work through, installation was pretty straight forward and it's mostly plug and play apart from the issues I'd say, try to get the Rift S. The model support of the current model is likely to be outlived eventually within the next few years. (My PC is vr ready.)

I had a problem setting it up and the cord for it is faulty and works half of the time, but when it works, it works great. The light at the top is orange sometimes when its plugged it and I have to work around with the cord on the headset itself, plus I can't really find a new cord online it seems, but I guess I have to live with it. Overall, it's amazing when it works, but frustrating when it doesn't.

I would say the plunge into VR is worth it for Half-Life: Alyx. The value for the money is there with this being a refurbished model but I would not personally pay hundreds for VR equipment these days. This is probably the best entryway into VR right now for the price.

Customers frequently mention the immersive VR experience and the excellent quality of this refurbished Rift system, finding it to be a worthwhile purchase. However, some users point out that the connecting cord can be cumbersome and prone to issues. The overall experience is positive for many, but potential buyers should be aware of the cord's limitations.
