I've had nothing but success when I've purchased through Secondipity. Granted, you are taking a gamble whenever you're getting anything second hand "refurbished" items from eBay.
I've bought 3 Sony earbuds (XM4 + 2x XM5) + 2 headphones (XM4 + XM5) + 1 Marshall Emberton speaker and they've all been great.
Earbuds had a bit of wear but nothing some cleaning up and sanitizing couldn't fix. Charging was tricky but that's expected with all Sony earbuds cases, mostly due to QC from Sony. Still charges and holds power just fine. Sound quality is still top notch compared to Bose + JBL + Beats
Headphones were all essentially brand new. Minor scuffs and smudges but nothing showing any type of "wear" on the earcups+headband. No charging issues nor sound quality issues.
The Emberton showed it had been used and minor scratches on the back - holds charge just fine and use it nearly every day (had it for 2 years)

Take this as you will, but like I said, my experience has been positive thus far.

Why all the hate for secondipity? I've only purchased from their eBay seller once but it was for these exact headphones like a year and a half ago. They've been going strong ever since.

I got these refurb headphones from Secondipity over the summer. Looked like new and haven't had any problems with them. It's always a bit of a gamble with refurbs, of you get a bad pair then return them 🤷

I got one from seccondipity from a month or so back. Its functional but one of the telescopic arm was lose. Since these are 2+year old, expect too get heavily used item. Though 2 year warranty from ebay is good to have.

I think at one point they were good but have been going downhill for the past year or so.

I bought a XM5 in April with a CPS warranty from the Secondipity website and just had a pro-rated refund from CPS because they couldn't fix the recurring battery issue.
To add insult to the injury, CPS warranty makes you pay for shipping both ways.

I also wonder how come they always have a ton of refurbished XM4/XM5 ?
Are the quality on these that bad ?

I thought secondipity changed their name already because of their reputation?
😆
Or was it just their online store?

Learn from my experience. Buy "refurbished" or "open box" items at your own risk. I bought an "open box" earbuds on eBay. They turned out to be 'used' items with almost a dead battery. People can always trade in their long used items and mark as "open box". How do you it's the same item? The serial number is not imprinted on the item itself. Spend a little bit more money and buy "brand new, sealed" items which will last much longer. It's not worth buying "refurbished" or "open box" items. It's my two-cent.

They're legit and refurbished items from them look brand new and their customer service is great in case of issues. I was given a full refund when had an issue. Don't knock them before trying …

I would go with these over Beats.
These are refurbs, but I've purchased from the seller more than twice. Every item I've purchased they looked like they just pulled them from an OEM box and put it into plain box. Accessories were always new, and there were never issues with functionality or anything.
I had a very good experience with my secondipity Sony refurbs a year or so ago - I got a common bug where one earbud's battery started draining at a rapid pace. I contacted the insurer and they mailed me a refund check for the full price of the headphones, basically no questions asked. Allstate insurance coverage is way better than a warranty in my experience because you have your money back in your pocket and can buy a newer pair of headphones if you want or get a better deal.
