Used price spread on eBay
Before you buy a used Sony WF-1000XM5
- Ask for the battery runtime of each earbud separately
- Confirm the listing includes both earbuds and the case
- Check the charging contacts for corrosion or debris
- Test noise canceling and touch controls on both sides
- Make sure the earbuds were reset and unpaired from the seller's phone
New, used or refurbished?
Buy new if you want the full warranty, a guaranteed battery and an easy return, or if the used saving shown above is small. Buy used when the gap is large and the seller has strong feedback and a return policy. Refurbished sits in the middle: a few dollars more than used, usually with a warranty and a tested unit.
