Why not just buy a new one, and tell Amazon it never got delivered and get it for free, or get 2 for 1?

You can also go to your favorite restaurant, bring a dead roach with you, eat 75% of your meal and stick it stage it strategically in your food, and get your meal for free?

And if you don't like your house and/or want free remodeling, just set it on fire and your insurance will pay to replace it.

That's illegal. Why would you suggest breaking the law on a public deal site? Clearly you have some learning to do. Maybe start with the simple "respect others" and maybe you wouldn't be pulling these shenanigans. Sure hope you're not teaching your children this. SMH

Had mine for years and this has never happened to me. Best headset I've ever had by far.

There's literally a message that says it will have minor cosmetic damage.

Right... But "Grade A" refurbished for me should be close to brand new condition. Like maybe not in the original box, but no earwax or obvious used condition.

The only problem I've found with refurbished / Used-Like new is can void the original warranty and you only have the 90 day one from Amazon or whatever. It's a trade off. I ran into with buying like-new headsets over buying brand new ones on Amazon. When I also recently tried to register a NetGear router lately that was refurbished, I couldn't because someone had previous registered it. It's just something to be aware of when buying refurb / like new products.

All A50s has a very annoying flaw that manufacturer refuses to fix - oversensitive gyroscope that shuts off the headset if you sit still for a few seconds even if you are listening to something.

If you're really concerned, order this and order a brand new one from Amazon. Then, initiate a return to Amazon, send the refurb one back.

Normally I would not condone this, but I ordered a Sennheiser X Massdrop PC38X a couple years ago from Amazon, and I sent it back twice because the "New" headsets were returns or clearly opened previously.

Ended up ordering it from somewhere else, might have been directly from Drop. That one was fine.

I will say this. My friend has an A50 that cuts off his mic, hes tried many different fixes. No solutions. Its possible it cuts off because of this. I've owned a40s for the past 6 years, and have never looked back. I even went as far as purchasing a audio extractor. Ps5 doesn't include an optical port, and I enjoy gaming on 4k 120 hz.

I think it's better to buy Penrose for 199. Selling on Walmart for an open box.

No need for the downvote. I've been gaming since I was 5. I'm bout to be 40. I can only speak from experience. We play COD, audio and mic comms are imperative in high tense situations. Ive always opted for 40s, since I always preferred wired connections over wireless. All I'm saying is, he's had 50s for quite some time, and his mic constantly cuts out.

Had A50s for 3 or 4 years and the only issue I've had is if you turn in the opposite direction of the base for an extended period of time it sometimes cuts out. Other than that I love being completely wireless and the comfort and sound are great. I've been gaming since Pong and on xbox live since day 1 but not sure why that matters.

I've had mine for like 3 years and never had this issue, that feature works exactly like it should. I will say however that I had to put a rubber band around the mic because it wouldn't stay in place anymore. Also, firmware updates can brick the headset so there's that. Gotta say though this is probably the comfiest headset I've ever used, I can wear it for hours and it doesn't hurt the top of my head or my ears.
