I've been a happy Secondipity customer for years and vouched for them here on SD (see post history), but this comment rings true. Last couple purchases didn't meet condition criteria. Got a Sony AZ3000ES receiver ($1000 item) with stickers on it and a sizable dent to case. Tried to work it out with their eBay support, but they claimed it was an acceptable refurb and made no effort to address other than suggesting I return it. Didn't provide a paid shipping label (policy violation). When I left negative feedback they banned me from bidding.

Not the top shop it used to be. Can no longer recommend.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The XM5 has the best ANC at any price point. Rivaled only by the brand new Bose Quietcomfort Ultras.

No brainer pick up as mine came in pristine condition and works excellently! These things exceeded my expectations and the no-hassle 2-yr warranty is the icing on the cake!

Totally anecdotal, but bought one a month or two ago. Came with fingerprint smudges. Seemed to work at first, but then became clear it had an intermittent issue in which it would randomly shut off. On a positive note, was able to return it. Just annoying to buy something and go through the hassle of setup only to box it up and drive to the ship store.

Sheesh, Secondipity has been selling these refurbs for nearly 2 years. Probably tens of thousands of units.

Anyone know where they're getting these from? Are these returns right away to the store? Warranty repairs? Used and sold back to a large used goods reseller?

I bought one and it works well. (skips once every hour or so). Just curious.

I dunno. Look at the XM4's for reference. They haven't dropped much in price and have disappeared off the Slickdeals refurb scene. Their lowest cost was $160.


The $160 that the poster mentioned for the XM5's was a unicorn event that only a few got a hold of. The alert didn't even go off for me and it was already out of stock.

I've purchased 3 headphones from Secondipity over the last few years and they've all been in great to mint condition. I had one earbud that stopped holding a charge after like 20 months, and the warranty claim process was easy. I got a full refund in the form of a check in the mail.

actually I do. I own the wh-XM4,WF-XM4 and the WH-XM5.

These struggle with high pitched noised noise auch as railroad train on a track. Do a search on reddit, its a common theme of people complaining. My in ear WF-XM4 are miles better, as are the older xm4.

Outside of the anc they are very good. maybe I have a bad set grom second? Maybe I was expecting the same level anc for the in ear xm4 versus the xm5 headphones.

You have never tried them, these blow away every other headset I've ever tried. I got my partner a set after she heard how good mine were.
