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 purchased these a while back and have also bought XM3s and 4s from secondipity. All arrived essentially brand new with the accessories in package. Great headphones other than the xm4 battery issues

While these reviews are valid on their own, it appears that they are not relevant to Secondipity's eBay store. I read through the bad reviews. And they're mostly complaints about how items were listed as "new" but came used, or about bad customer service experiences.

On eBay, they only sell refurbished consumer electronics. And they all come with eBay buyer protections such easy returns and 2-year warranty. I wouldn't hesitate buying from their eBay store, for what it's worth.

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/ [reddit.com]

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.
I just replaced the battery in my right earbud, and I noticed that it now has a deeper sound than the left ear bud. Have you experienced this before? I thought maybe it's because I didnt seal it up properly or something.

"No, only come with dirty lubes."
Come'on this is a deal site, please stay on topic.
I've purchased the 2x wireless xm3 earbuds and overhead headphones.
One of the earbud's battery died around 18month after purchase and all state couldn't fix it so gave me a full refund. Other two have been working fine and looked clean and new to me (no scratches). Also you have 30 day free return, so if you need one, you have nothing to lose. Infact, with eBay refurbished you get 2yr warranty on these earbuds, which is double the 1yr Sony warranty for new ones.

I had a good experience purchasing the xm5 headphone refurb from Secondipity as well. The Allstate ins came with it. Ultimately, I had a small issue with the headphones and I sent them in for repair. They said they couldn't fix them and refunded all my money. No loss of money for me, so I was happy

For a volume seller, 98.6% on ebay is actually not great. Not bad but generally speaking you want to be in the 99.xx%

In their case, it is probably very difficult to get that high due to the nature of what they are selling (used products).

Just from anecdotal evidence they are a hit or miss here. I've heard good things and bad. My personal experience however has been good but I've only bought a small handful of things from them.

Whatever you do, do NOT update the firmware.
