Seller:secondipity. I got xm4 from them couple of years ago and earbuds came looking new. After the firmware updated destroyed the battery I was able to get full price back with all state warranty claim.

Needs another $20 off to be worthwhile.
Get it done SD staff
I'd buy at 80 or less. Afraid these will have a firmware defect like xm4.
Every time I've had an issue it's always been less than 2yrs. They give you a gift card if they can't fix it.

in my cart now, just wait for SD promo code to check out!

On the other note, in my ears are a pairs of BeyerDynamic (Sony! come yield to the father of headphone, inventor of dynamic driver) Free Byrd, brand new is half of its original MSRP and if you negotiate on offer(same seller as on Amazon), can get even cheaper, that's how I got mine, better sound than Sennheiser MTM 3 ( hand on comparison) and the XM5 (from some review, now just waiting for this deal to lower for collection and hand on), longer battery life (11 hrs per charge) but less on ANC. But audiophile sound, 10hz big bass, distinguished look, small case(same size as AirPods Pro), is why my sennheiser pair are cover in dust.

I don't think SD promo applied on this particular listing last time I checked and I specifically checked for it!

I think sound quality wise BD might be better, ANC is going to much better in Sony although it still lags behind the Bose QC2 that I use daily.

the last xm5 post by the staff that had the 20% off code was nonsense. i tried to buy it within 20 minutes of the post and it already didn't apply

Does anyone know what the warranty process is for water damage? I accidentally left mine in the washer, and wondering how to proceed since it looks impossible to fix myself.

Just returned my xm4 for the crazy firmware battery drain issue.

Has that been resolved

I have got the over the ear. X1 X2, X3 X4 and X5 from them as well as the in the ear X3 and x4. All refurbished, all perfect, all clean, and all worth every goddamn penny. These are my favorite favorite favorite ANC headphones. There may be an argument that a specific Bose model may do slightly better in airplane environments, but I don't live on an airplane. And I've used both the over the ear and in the ear on multiple flights between Alaska and the east coast. And there's something beautiful about having all that noise gets sucked away when the ANC kicks in. The only minor niggle I have for the product is with the software and not the hardware. In the older firmware, through the Sony headphones app (which actually has a purpose and is good to run as a controller) is that the older firmware is did an atmospheric pressure test and the new one doesn't mention that. I'm positive. It's probably doing the same test but for some reason I really enjoyed seeing that extra step pop up on the screen while it measured it and I assume they took it out for a streamlining or speeding up things and most people didn't care about it. The result is the same. The ANC is exceptional on an airplane and they are comfortable to wear for a very long time to match their very long battery. But I missed that little picture of the plane and the numbers go up. Frown
That quite literally is my only complaint and that should, at least, tell you my opinion on it.

They are earbuds for sure. I'm not sure why I keep seeing headphones on these titles.

Headphones in titles work for the rest of us who aren't specifically looking for earbuds when we setup deal alerts. Not getting pedantic but aren't earbuds a type of headphone also? :-)
