Have a set of Powerbeats Pro that I picked up openbox from Best Buy about a year ago, the audio quality isn't all that but it is by far the most secure earphones I've every worn. Paired it to my Galaxy Active 2 watch for music during runs that it works great; just a note that the buttons don't do anything at all when paired to the watch, they did when paired to my phone.

Hold up, what is this site? Has anyone used it, and will "Like New-Open Box" (regardless of price) mean that they have 100% been in someone's ear before?

Did they hurt your ears at all? How did you feel about the mic quality and using them for calls in general?

This is purely subjective and YMMV, but mine never hurt my ears, I typically wear them for less than an hour at a time though. The mic quality is fine, used them for work calls during WFH multiple times and never heard complaints about my mic.

I bought a DJI drone from them. No issues or visible use. Box was intact but original seals were broken. Customer returns, I'd guess. For earbuds I might be a little wary.....

I've been using Blinq for many years. Their return policy makes buying anything there worry-free. Their condition information is pretty accurate and if it isn't or you're not satisfied, send it back no charge. Their product comes from Bed Bath Beyond, Target, Best Buy, Pottery Barn, and a few other places.

I appreciate the post OP & the previous 2 replies, will rep all; I personally am gonna simply hold off due to having literally too many different types of headphones/earphones and the reviews have me a bit nervous - I may try to wait for a serious price drop on the "Pro" version of these, although I feel like the airpod pros may have them beat? No idea, I don't even those in hand yet - am judging from friends and reviews.

EDIT: I checked OP again and I am an idiot; the Pro price seems worth it to me, even on top of what I have already. Thanks again all !

In for one of the Power Beats Pro Yellow color. About $130 after tax. Great deal.

Blinq is an awful retailer. These "open box" units are used ones. YMMV on earwax content.

Agree, bought a few iPads from Blinq and was very happy with their condition
