Got the silver one from the same seller (Secondipity). The headphone was slightly dirty around the ear area after I took the headphone out of the box. Plugged the headphone in, charged over 10 hours. Couldn't turn the headphone on, even after reset. The headphone was DOA. The best part of the experience is that the return process is very smooth with Secondipity. Good luck.

I would not buy refurbished items touching ears. Refurbish monitors, iphone (buy new case/screen) or even laptop are fine.

So, these are highly rated, but as an iPhone user, should I just spend the extra for the AirPod Max to have that iPhone/headphone seamless integration?

I guess what features may I loss going with these versus the Max?

My understanding is sound quality, noise cancellation are very comparable between the two.
I don't know why people need this "seamless integration", its just Bluetooth marketed as something else.

It is definitely not worth paying double in price. The quality might be better, but the headphones are heavier and less comfortable long term use. On top of that, you can never turn the headphones off, you have to put it back in the case.

I love my XM4's because of the portability factor. These XM5's were a pain to travel with especially on flights and daily commute.

don't see what's the big deal, it's not like used underwear or something. They're headphones. It touches the outside of your head. Wash the headphones with soap, use a black light to check if any other dirty areas and you're fine.

You don't know what dirt ass had these before you. And buy the sound of it from previous posters, they don't do a good job cleaning them, i.e., smelled like cologne, dirty ear cups. Nah man, I'll front the extra cash and get crispy clean ones that haven't been abused.

You can always return them if you don't like the refurbished headphones you got…

Cool. Help keep the used prices down for the rest of us.

I'm still using my refurbed xm3s that I bought in ..... 2019? Just replaced the ear cups last week for the first time. The old one's weren't even that bad.

You touch door knobs and and other people's phones all the time. I guarantee you those are far grosser.

Here's the ONLY features you gain with AirPods Max over the XM5:
U1 Chip (funny seamless Bluetooth) (just pair it yourself)
Cool Spatial Audio (you won't use it)
200g extra weight (you'll notice the weight)
Transparency mode (it's the only headphone with flawless transparency mode I'll give it that)

The features you lose compared to buying the XM5:
$300

Got a pair of whites for the same price and seller a few months ago, headphones look brand new and sound great. Flying to Europe in a couple of weeks and excited to field test the ANC.
They're a game changer

Please do not abuse a good thing. That behavior ruins it for others in the long run. That's why Costco has the 90 day return policy on electronics now.
These monsters killed then LL beam lifetime guarantee, "I'll go buy llbean sh*t and goodwill and return it, oh and those three kayaks I used all summer? I'll return them and get new ones next year"
