Seems like an awesome deal. There is already another deal from same people (but on eBay) and the previous deal is more expensive ($278). This also comes with a 2 year warranty and if you buy from them directly it only 90 days. This will be the 4th time I've ordered from them and have had an excellent experience: WH-1000XM3, WH-1000XM4, WF-1000XM4.

If you happen to be an iOS user, there is an iOS setting that's on by default to protect your hearing while wearing headphones:
Settings > Sounds and Haptics > Headphone Safety > Reduce Loud Sounds > OFF
This was a game changer for my XM4's. Obviously applies to other headphones as well. Hope this helps!

Chiming in that my xm4s were purchased through secondipity and were flawless as well. The improvements to sound quality and overall volume on the xm5 compared to xm4 was negligible. And I listen for the differences.
Design is superior and very attractive in my personal opinion compared to xm4, though the xm4s have a subtle beauty in its own right and may even be preferable to some in this regard. But sound quality alone was no where close to meriting the extra spend on the xm5 compared to xm4.
They're under a much larger parent company and it wouldn't surprise me if they boost their products. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.
XM4s are amazing. I won't have to buy a pair of headphones for another decade.

I've bought from them a few times, and everything I've received seems brand new.
I was in the same boat as you and disappointed with the "quiet" music but I found a solution at least in my case:

Have you tried putting them in the right equalizer setting?
The XM5s sounded pretty basic out of the box, but once I messed with the equalizer a bit, they were phenomenal.
Just search up "xm5/4 equalizer settings" on google for some good options.
I can only tell you some YouTube reviewers did not like the xm5 vs xm4. They preferred the 4. Don't have them myself, but do your research!
I dunno much about sounds . But these xm4s I bought last year are the best I ever had..
