Wait, $150 for XM5's gets a -3 votes? What am I missing? This is as low as these have ever gone as far as I'm aware. Sheesh, tough fuqin crowd.
Even the last 2 models never reached that price
New were recently on sale for $173 on woot. Pass.

Thanks OP. I got the XM4s 1.5 years ago from the same seller for 99 refurbished, and they have been great. I'll upgrade and treat myself Smilie

I remember last time I saw it but couldn't this time. Where did you see 'This item has a 2-year warranty serviced by Allstate'? Thanks.
Updated - Saw it.

I cannot vouch for the quality of the XM5 refurbs, but I can share my experience with purchasing XM4 refurbs through Secondipity a few months ago for $99.

I would avoid buying refurbished items through this retailer, as it is by chance you get a working product (please reference previous postings with Secondipity). My set of earbuds came with a battery issue, and the left earbud would not fully charge, nor would it hold a charge for very long. They also were missing the medium-sized foam tips.

Love the combination of Secondipity and Allstate coverage.

I bought the XM4s (which I liked a lot), but the batteries failed after the latest firmware update. I would've been happy to just have them replaced, but Allstate just sent $150 to replace them.

That was my first time making an Allstate claim and it was painless. The free return label was a nice touch.

I've had 4 or 5 things through them over the years and they've all been great. I guess refurbs are a gamble for sure!

Mine experience was the same. I was actually surprised they made me send them back in for repair. But 2 days after the package arrived to them, they said it will be refunded. A check arrived in 4 or so days for the full amount.

These are essentially a free rental because somethings going to go wrong in 2 years. Good deal, better than new.

2 years warranty on Ebay refurbished item is a joke. Wait until you turn in your claim. They will ask stupid questions just to deny your claim. Don't fall for it.

They literally approved the guy's claim so not sure how he's falling for anything.

Perhaps, but it has a 2 year warranty (and I've claimed on it with my 4's before without issue). That's a year longer than new. Arguably, I would prefer of course to rely on Sony's warranty. But they also f-ed up the firmware and killed 1000's of version 4s. So my trust of them has gone down considerably.

I suppose if you have a higher end credit card, you end up getting 2 years because they'll typically tack on a year of card-provided warranty for something like this.

The battery thing was unfortunate, but it took me like 20 minutes to submit the claim and drop it off at Staples. Not gonna get some kinda inferior product out of fears of more battery issues. Bring it on I got my Allstate coverage lol.

Any issues with these staying in while exercising?
It really really depends on your ear shape and what types of movements you're doing. You can't really know until you've tried them. In general, getting something with ear hooks is best for exercise.
