FYI - These are "certified refurbished," which per ebay means they come directly from the manufacturer (meaning refurbished by the manufacturer?) with a 2 year warranty. Not sure how accurate this is considering they are sold by Secondiptiy, but from previous posts I saw, people have been happy with their secondipity purchases of this exact item. There's also a 30 day return policy.

That said, I bit with the Chase 5% back from paypal.

Isn't this the same seller who was selling refurb XM4s a couple years ago? If so, my XM4s looked brand new. Still use them almost daily.

ya they frequently sell refurbs on eBay or even their own website some times and most have noted they're pretty much new(ish), but YMMV

I got a white one from Target for $250+tax. I really wanted the blue but Target doesn't have the blue color. Should I return the white and new one to Target and get this Refub Blue one instead? argh...

Got a pair when the deal came up 3 weeks ago, they're absolutely pristine, even smell new (my husband got a new pair and they're identical), only difference is that it's not in a box.

Can't speak to the refurbished aspect of this deal, but I purchased a new pair recently and they were worth every penny.

a little hassle to live with the color you want? I'd do it

I would. Everything I've purchased from Secondipity has been in great shape. Most items are indistinguishable from new.

It's up to you, but let me say this: If I have a refurbished pair and someone tells me that I can exchange them for new ones and pay $55, I will be happy.

Was going to buy this until you said there's no box, thanks for saving me some time 👌

All these Sony headphones "deals". After the first 60 days, they are routinely "on sale" between 199-279, depending on condition or new.

Quite frankly, the MSRP is only to make sales look good... Seems all headphones are way off MSRP and these aren't deals anymore. Lockdowns are over

Happy with mine, arrived basically brand new. Upgrading from XM3s and hoping at some point Sony will allow you to set a static ANC level instead of always auto-optimizing ANC.

It worked fine most of the time, but there were a few moments during a plane ride where I brushed an earcup on the seat/side of the plane and it caused the ANC to shift and allow noise in until self correcting 5s later. Annoying. If only there was a setting or swipe motion to override the auto mode and lock in ANC.

Overall, the fit is more comfortable, I prefer the color (blue vs black), and multi-device connection is enough to make the upgrade from XM3->XM5 worth it, but I was reminded how amazing XM3s are for travel.
