Just a note for clarity:

The $160 price is not for their refurbished headphones, which I think is what most people expect from Secondipity. That price is for headphones marked as "used", which are usually about $20 cheaper than their refurbished headphones. I assume they're doing function checks or maintenance on damaged products, which is why they think they can charge more for the refurbs.

Refurbished WH-1000XM5s come to $184 ($220-20%). Still better than average, which is about $200 in my estimation. I think this is about as cheap as they've gotten, but people should understand what they're buying at each price point.

For what it's worth, I purchased the WH-1000XM5 from Secondipity the last time it was offered at $160, and it arrived in pretty much new condition.

I eventually returned it because the Left and Right output was not balanced, meaning the left side was slightly louder than the right.

It felt almost as comfortable as my old QC35, but does feel warmer. The sound from the WH-1000XM5 was definitely better, but the L/R imbalance was a deal breaker. I could have received a defective unit, but just a warning for those who purchased to really test them out.

The Sony earbuds are tempting, but I got hit by the horrendous battery drain bug on the previous model....

great prices! I bought the XM5's from the secondipity ebay deal awhile back for $200 and thought that was a good price. They are amazing headphones, best I've ever owned. If you're an audiophile you may feel differently, but the XM5's are better by far than anything in the beats lineup and I thought they were better than the Bose QC35's and 45's. The only downside to me is that they do get a little warm when working out.

Were the frontpage deals also used or refurbished?

We've been seeing the refurb XM5 mostly in the $200 range. Though, they did drop to $184 in a thread back in April that got +50 on the Frontpage.

Make sure to do the "tongue test". In case of wax flavor, return it.

I have Sony WH-1000XM5/B and I paid something like $230+tax for them. Absolutely love them and prefer them over the peer Bose ones
