From browsing similar threads for the WH-1000XM3 and XM4, most SDers have reported getting practically brand new headphones from Secondipity. Haven't seen a complaint about them (yet).
Just received the XM4 yesterday and will most likely be returning. Looked practically brand new upon arrival from Secondipity. While wearing, a really high pitch shrieking tinnitus-inducing occurred in the right ear cup. This happened a few times over the course of the day until I took it off. Never had noise cancelling headphones before but also saw that this could happen on Reddit (someone also posted a video of the screeching noise in one of the threads if you can google it up). Would rather save my hearing than risk it.

Someone's gotta say it in every refurb headphone thread. How much earwax do you have that it's an issue with over the ear cans?
Honestly ask your primary care physician if refurbished headphones are a good idea!

I've always wondered when a company has so many returns on a product they have a sale like this. Defects, user didn't like or other reasons?

Im wearing XM4s that I got from this Secondipity site, based off a slickdeals mention and they are perfect. I just got them yesterday and they are perfect like new. $140. Killer Deals!!!
I have the XM3s too that I wear all the time, but i wanted the XM4s dual pairing option so I can use them on my computer for Teams calls and on my phone for music without having to unpair/pair back and forth. The XM4's connect to both at same time. Phone Music pauses when i get a call on my computer.

That happened to me as well and I ended up returning it. I have a pair of XM3s that I've used for 2 years almost daily and they've been great from this reseller. I might just go for this cause why not

Funny thing is my XM3 are so damn good I don't even see the need to upgrade lol. I ABUSE mine...yardwork being the biggest factor. The XM3 and 4 design seem rugged compared to these. Maybe they're just as good but they don't look like they'd be as tough.

Secondipity is Sony's main reseller. Most items are returns or open box, so they're brand new.

You'd think this wouldn't need to be mentioned at this point… 🙄

It's not an issue at all for me. However, I've seen people out in public with some pretty gross ears and I definitely would NOT want to wear anything after them… no matter how much it may have been "cleaned".

I don't mind buying refurbished items to save a few bucks, but I draw the line at things that go directly on my head!

@ best buy, 17‰ of everything sold is returned, even if nothing is wrong with it.

I'm sure other retailers have similar numbers.

I'm surprised it's not higher. If it wasn't for the returners a lot of products would be cheaper to buy new.

I have a pair of XM2s that are still great. The only minor issue with them is that they use micro USB rather than USB C. I'd be curious to know if the XM5s are significantly better. I suspect not.

look at you, being so clever. New is new, return or open box is why you're not paying full price.
