CV1: Sell it or Keep it?

For any existing Rift CV1 owners who plan to upgrade to Rift-S... what will you do with your legacy Rift CV1?
Pre-orders start shipping soon. Almost time to say bye-bye to physical sensors.

Plan to sell, though I haven't decided what headset will be replacing it. Love the simplicity of the Rift S but the audio situation maybe a deal breaker. Depends on if there are some headphones that can sit over the halo, also depends on comfort.

I'm still trying to decide if I'm keeping it after getting the reverb. Defo keeping my go.

I'm unsure if my Rift-S or CV1 will be the primary system (both have pros and cons). I may keep my CV1 for home and use my Rift-S at work for classroom VR testing. (Same as my Go, I don't use it for myself, I keep it at work for students to use)

Either way, I sell nothing. I keep everything I buy, or dump it if it's too broken or old. (Although for tvs I give them to my sister for free when I upgrade).

I was going to sell mine but I'd feel guilty because it has so much wear on it. I'd feel bad if it failed on someone. Instead, I am giving it to my nephew and I hope it fails on him.  😄

Not sure how to vote, because I have an extra Rift anyways so I'll probably sell one and keep the other. :tongue:

It could be nice to have a pair of Constellation sensors lying around, if / when they do implement the option of Hybrid Tracking.   And who knows, maybe someone will make a kit for attaching the CV1 headphones to the Rift-S?
It's hard being the voice of reason when you're surrounded by unreasonable people.

CV1 already sold. Rift S preordered. I always disliked the external sensors. Preorders should ship now, to gain market share.

Thanks. I believe the device sku number is how Bestbuy stores information about a specific model. Nonetheless I removed the pic just to be safe.
