HDMI quirks out the door.

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.

The Oculus Rift CV1 (this one) is better than the Rift S, If you are buying a headset for your child with a good pc. Go for it. (If you dont know what specs your child has, run the setup tool)

I found this refurbished Oculus Rift on bestbuy.com and was able to get it for my son for his birthday. I would have loved to get the Oculus Quest but just couldn't bring myself to spend that amount and this was a great deal. My son absolutely loves it.
