Product details say 1000XM4. Is that a mistake?

Secondipity has really bad reviews. Great price for these buds (which I am still in the market for), but don't trust the seller.
98.6% positive feedback is really bad reviews?

From my personal experience, I've had good luck with buying from them. Got the xm4 ear buds over a year ago and they still with great. Looked near new when I received them too.

I bought the refurb WH-1000XM4 from Secondipity in 2022 and my headphones are still going strong.

That was my only experience with the seller but I would definitely trust them enough to purchase again in the future.

Is there a big risk if seller accepts returns and pays for return shipping?

I've bought the xm3s, xm4s and xm5s all from secondipity refurbs. One of my xm4s battery got weak after a year and a half. Warranty refunded them in full. I bought the xm5s with the warranty check. (Adding $50). Xm3s are still going strong.

To be honest, I liked the xm4s better than the 5s. The 5s are very slippery and I'm always dropping them with I put them in or take them out. I feel like they sound basically the same.

It always makes me wonder why or how there is usually a steady supply of these refurb earbuds -- are many people returning due to issues/defects? Dissatisfied? Poor fit?

I have the WF1000XM3 and XM4 (bought new), but my now 2.5 yr old XM4 don't hold a long charge, which may be due to a firmware update. While the update from XM3 to XM4 were significant, from what I've read the jump from XM4 to XM5 were not as significant. And the I've found the XM4 to be painful during long sessions. So this time around, I bought a new set of Bose Ultra Quiet comfort earbuds that are $50 off -- going back to Bose after using their wired noise cancelling headphones and earbuds over a decade ago. It's missing some features from the Sony set that I like such as multipoint Bluetooth and an audible feedback for taps. But I find the ANC to be superior and sound quality fine for my use , which is mostly podcast listening.

I recommend potential buyers review the battery debacle that's plagued the XM4s and possibly the XM5s as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyHead...ry_issues/

See the last update on the OP regarding the XM5s reportedly having similar issues. I've personally had to replace the batteries in my XM4s 3 times and still seem to have battery issues. I get about 90 minutes out of my right earbud even after replacing the battery only a few months ago, even after updating the firmware.

Sonys Xm4 and Xm5 ending up in refub market due to their lack of QC and ability to obtain the correct type of battery for their earbuds 😂 just like Dyson and their refurb products

Does this Sony make random phone calls if you fall asleep with them? The one I have does. What a clever design touch by Sony. I bet $10 Tozo can't do that.

I got burned on 3 xm4. Sony is supposed to be a trusted brand, but I'd reconsider buying their headphones

I just purchased these last week on the same deal. I was not a fan of the fit or noise cancelling quality so returned and it went smoothly. Quality seller in my experience, just didn't like the earbuds myself.
