My 'Used - Very Good ' ones from the warehouse just turned up. Earpads did look a bit worn at first, but some anti bacterial wipes and they look as good as new now. No scratches at all despite the listing saying they had cosmetic imperfections.

Fell in love with these cans when I tested them in John Lewis (incredible noise cancelling) so couldn't turn them down at £184.

Any opinion on 'Used - Good' from amazon warehouse?

Cheers

Will you receive the 12-month warranty when buying from Amazon Warehouse?

Really tempted but I just don't want to throw 200 quids away if it cracks.

I bought these after getting through 3 pairs of Bose QC25s in less than a year. With the Bose they all developed the exact same fault, the right ear cup started to fail. I was so frustrated because when working I loved them. So I opted for these, not quite as light and comfortable as the bose, but near a year on they still work great and get used just as much. Their noise cancellation produces slightly more white noise hiss than the Bose but I think blocks out more of the noise I want cancelled, background office noise.

For those suffering the cracking issue, I've fortunately not experienced this and I wear these headphones all the time, in fact I'm wearing now! I wonder if the issue is batch related, but if Bose can't be reliable nor these, it's disgusting given their cost. The Bose issue is due to the right ear cup folding action when put into the case, at least that's my theory, some googling of the problem backed this idea up. My wife has a pair that still work great but she rarely puts them in the case and now I've advised her not to, the headphones have lasted 4 times longer than any of the 3 pairs I owned. Off topic but thought I'd mention.

Fantastic headphones. Great deal. Hope they don't crack.

Was going to buy these (for this price) at John Lewis recently but the cracking issue put me off and the way Sony treat their customers. Definitely better to get from John Lewis for the customer service, extended warranty, and i'd opt for the "accidental damage" extra because Sony are complete **** over the cracking problem.

Save over 100 quid and get the sennheiser 4.5s

They are £230 in the Amazon warehouse, so if they all crack, might as well save the £50

Most TV's should have an audio sync setting as well if it is the case.

Indeed, it must be impacting sales, more worryingly, there's always a huge amount of them in Amazon Warehouse with 'item may come repackaged' so I suspect many of these are reconditioned items that have experienced issues, or otherwise people slinging them back on either hearing of the issue, or seeing the beginnings of the problem (minuscule hairline cracks that will grow until they break).

Sony recently sold a load of reconditioned 1000x on their site for £169 (deal was listed here) but reading of the way with which Sony have handled this is enough to put me off purchasing them. With Amazon at least you can return eaily, but Sony have acted very poorly indeed - wear and tear? Sure.

Ah. So that might be why the price has noticeably dropped at Amazon over the past few months:

CRACKING Deal... But cold for me.

Beware of these, worth taking the extra warranty as they will crack:

For anybody still interested in some dodgy headphones, they're £266ish on Amazon.de

Am I right in thinking these are no good for watching films with as there is a slight delay meaning lip-sync issues?

I like how you wrote not prime day, so you get hits when people search for 'prime' lol

Bose QC35 on the pic (:I
