I think the best way to identify the target headset would be serial
number information from EDID, which should match the serial number
information from USB for most of them.

I have noticed that my Vive doesn't contain serial number information in
its EDID block - it is impossible to differentiate between two of those
if they are connected at the same time. In that case matching against
manufacturer ID and product code from EDID should be good enough for
most cases.
