No, the extra sensors are for tracking with the original Rift. The Rift S uses "inside out tracking" via 5 cameras mounted on the headset itself. It sacrifices a little bit of the tracking quality for ease of use, which is worth it in my opinion. Just make sure you've got a lot of light wherever you're using it and it should be fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, it uses inside out tracking from the 5 mounted cameras

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The extra sensors are for the old rift this one doesn’t need the sensors at all but it’s just to improve tracking on the old rift headset

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No it Does Not . The sensors are built into the headset
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The original Oculus didn't have the cameras (I believe) and so required external sensor for movement tracking. The Rift S does not require external sensors and has some rudimentary cameras on the headset that are used for tracking. Sidenote: you can turn on passthrough to see your surroundings anytime with the headset on
