Stern warning to all Sders.

Get these headphones, they're amazing, but DO NOT update to the latest firmware from 1-2 months ago. People are reporting en-masse about the headphones shutting off randomly with a popping sound.
I've seen this behavior since the moment I updated. The pop is so loud sometimes it end up quickly taking my headphones off and throwing on desk. It's so startling.

There is absolutely no QA at Sony for their firmwares.
This is the newer XM5's. Build quality is better on the XM4's, and they also have better battery life than the XM5's. Personally I'd stick with XM4's if you have the choice. The way the ear cups connect to the headband is the weak point on the XM5's and they will eventually break due to it. Added a images of the weak point.
Add refurbished in title please

I get the random shut off since I got the headphones from secondipity through eBay. Sometimes it would shut off in 30 minutes of use, sometimes 2 hours, sometimes never in that session. I sent it into Allstate(?) for warranty repair. They said they opened, cleaned it, and it is working again. With the problem being so random, I don't see how they can be certain it is working again unless the tech sits there and use my headphones in multiple 2-3 hour long sessions.

Needless to say, I still have the same shut off problem, although it seems to not happen as often as before I sent it in. I definitely did not update to the firmware you mentioned myself and I sent it into Allstate several months ago. I'm still trying to understand what the deal is.

Why are open box headphones priced lower than certified refurbished? Open box usually are closest to new ones. Am i missing something?

Open box can imply someone opened it and used it. They have no way to know unless they test it and fix it if there's a problem. That's likely why. You can certainly get an open box that is practically new or an open box where someone licked the headphones and dropped it in the toilet.

Can anyone please tell me how to check out on this site without using Shop Pay... and still be able to put in a coupon code. All of the other payment options seem to skirt the ability to put in a code.
