did you get them from ebay? i was reminded that the secondipity via ebay offered a free two year warranty - they covered mine
I did indeed and the refund process went well. Hesitant to get another one if the earbuds but the larger headphones are rock solid.

You might have gotten knockoffs. I got some "Jabra earbuds" from eBay years ago that has a different name than what they should have when connected to my phone. Both of the boxes that I bought both had the exact same serial number (which means it was just copied). I also noticed a different power up chime and voice than the pair I had previously purchased directly from Jabra's website.

I've seen what appears to be a LOT of XM5 headphone knockoffs on FB marketplace. I wonder if somebody did a buy / switch / return and secondipity got stuck with it (unknowingly).

I think Sony ones automatically add user's name to it.
If the last user or secondipity didn't fully factory reset it, it'll probably still retain the last user name.

I bought a pair of LinkBuds S from them a month ago and they kept cutting out on me no matter what pocket I had my phone in. They said Aaron's headphones on Bluetooth which was fine. I never get the cutout with my jabras or bose so I returned them. Return process was really easy.

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.

Do folks use the stock tips on the XM5 buds? Or are there third party ones that people recommend that fit better, sound better, etc.?
i absolutely HATED the stock foam tips, none of them fit my ear good and the sound was horrid. I was extremely disappointed with the buds... until i bought the AZLA SednaEarfit MAX tips on the guidance of someone here. Instant improvement on literally everything, sound, fit, comfort, and noise cancelling. I have no idea why sony would ship 300 dollar buds with these tips that 50% of people hate. It's probably why secondipity has so many refurbs, etc, due to extremely disappointed people that didn't know to get different tips. Makes no sense to me to sell a product like that and either not have tips that most will be OK with or how about since they are 300, put both kinds of tips in there? It is a luxury product afterall...make darn sure the people will like it and be impressed by it.

Never shopped at Secondipity. How complicated is the return process ? Do they take care of return shipping in case of product issue ?
Easy, you email them, they send you a paid label.

Never had this issue, weird. Only place I get a little connection stutter is at the gym and I assume this is due to a ton of bluetooth signals in the area. But at home or in the car I have zero issues

I found some XM4 headphones in black and it let me add them to the cart. It even let me apply the coupon but the damn site won't let me create an account. I've tried creating it in the cart during checkout and it just keeps saying "Loading". When that didn't work I went to the main page and tried creating an account there. I'm at the point where I click the reCaptcha and I just get the spinning arrow, it just refuses to create an account. If I try to click "Create Account " with the spinning arrow it tells me "the captcha you entered is incorrect ", I just can't create an account.
You need to make an account on a pc

I was just going to update my post. I had been trying with Safari on my iPhone and then tried Google.
I was able to create the account and got the pair of refurbished XM4s for $154 delivered after tax.

That's correct ! It's from the old user which is saved on the device. Factory reset will remove old attached info.

No 2 year warranty as on ebay sales
That's a good point. I got the battery drain bug for my XM4. If it weren't for the 2-year warranty, I'll be screwed.

I was pretty pissed off when my xm4s stopped working due to Sonys own firmware effectively killing my xm4s and they wouldn't do jack since they were purchased refurbished.

I ended up buying a new pair on Amazon and kept the original case and swapped the buds and returned them as damaged.

Typically, I'm pretty against any sort of retail fraud but still feel Sony is in the wrong. I understand not supporting a product out of warranty but they need to take responsibility for damage that they cause.

Won't ever buy a Sony device after that.
