    Be aware these are not box damaged but seconds. If somehow you thought they were the same thing, they are not.

    • phidj003 on 14/12/2021 - 19:02

      Can you elaborate on the difference?

        Generally, an item listed as a factory second will have failed quality inspection for cosmetic, rather than functional, reasons. … Such items are often heavily discounted, but may not have as all-encompassing a warranty or guarantee as a full-quality item (for example, the product may be non-returnable).

        Factory second - Wikipedia

        • Ade99 on 15/12/2021 - 07:51

          They have a 1 year warranty

        I imagine box damaged 2nds is headphones returned due to a damaged box and the headphones have never actually been used. Whereas these are likely used headphones, returned under warranty, refurbished by Sony and re sold.

        Please correct me if this is off the mark

        Sort of pot luck. From previous comments about Sony seconds, some people said they look new or just mild scratch, but ~1 in 10 people complained either they don't look right, sound right, or smell right ;-)

            Actually free postage returns at Sony eBay store.
            Personally I have bought Sony seconds several times and have no complain about the condition, except the one time they sent me the wrong (cheaper) item. Able to return but that took time for them to respond/process…

              @Buy2Much: Their TsnCs wording can be interpreted in many ways though so I hope it is the same for seconds..i.e. in the event we find a reasonable fault we can return. I can see that they offer a 1-year warranty as well and probably the additional year warranty from Australian Consumer Law.

                @PeeDee: I have purchased Sony seconds xm4 for $224 previously, I ended up getting a dud where there was a very slight beeping noise with ANC on and bluetooth connected (normal ppl probs wouldn't care) but also the dreaded wind noise that haunts some xm3/4s.

                I told them about it and they provided the option for a return or exchange and provided the label. It wasn't the fastest process but it was fine.

                In terms of headphone condition, they were basically like brand new not a single bit of dirt, scratch or anything. It seems like a fair few people get an excellent side of the deal where they appear brand new and fully functioning, some others get a dud, some get a few duds in a row and then make it their life mission to stop anyone from getting seconds (fair enough). It's a gamble but I'd say if you want them then it's a worthy gamble and it's basically risk free.

      Sony is liberal with their definition of seconds which vary between damaged boxes to refurbished units. In fact refurbished units have better QA than originals as the components are holistically tested as opposed to random samples on a production line!

      Just wanted to share my experience, I wasn’t aware that refurbished device were covered by warranty. I still believe that they should not sell something which is not fit for use.

      • Buy2Much on 14/12/2021 - 23:40

        It’s stated clearly in each of their refurb item ad:

        What warranty is provided on purchases?
        All items available to purchase on the Official Sony eBay Store are covered by a full 12 month Sony manufacturer warranty from Sony. Sony provides invoices on all purchases via an email with a PDF.

    • Sean8802 on 14/12/2021 - 23:04

      @karteej sounds like you have LDAC turned on. Turn that off and you'll be getting alll day battery life. You will need to do it through the Sony app.

    • Buy2Much on 14/12/2021 - 20:37

      I have not tried for unsatisfied reason (only when I received the wrong item), but their return policy looks reasonable enough:

      30 days after the buyer receives it
      You must return items in their original packaging and in the same condition as when you received them.

  • sqheaven on 14/12/2021 - 20:36

    I recently bought a brand me one XM4, I am disappointed that my ears touch the back of the cups. Too much clamping force, these are very uncomfortable headphones compared to Bose. Thinking to try QC 45. Just giving my feedback, prepare to be shocked.

    • PeeDee on 14/12/2021 - 20:45

      Are you thinking of refunding it or selling?

      • sqheaven on 14/12/2021 - 20:50

        Selling of course. Mine is brand new, not seconds. I don't think I can return it.

        If you have ever used Bose, you'd be disappointed by the comfort level. Audio, I think it's not a fuller open spacious sound like you'd expect from an open back of this price range.

        Overall, good presentation. I am enjoying some jazz and classical. Works for me.

        BTW, they did get some what useable after some time. Maybe the clamp is softer now. There's a work around on YouTube, you can raise the ear pads.

        • PeeDee on 14/12/2021 - 20:55

          The condition isn't the same anymore to refund hey? I don't know how I can argue for a refund on seconds if it is the case..

    • PeeDee on 14/01/2022 - 00:36
