I ordered Focal Bathys open box from headphones.com and I’m honestly not sure what to expect.

I noticed they have a huge return window of 365 days. Should I expect my “open box” to be returned headphones that have up to a years worth of use? Are they headphones returned within 30 days?

Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

    There’s like maybe 100 of that person on earth. Most of them are probably on this subreddit

    Well. I remember two accounts that openly admit they do that. Buying a pair of headphones and return it just before the RMA (I think 2 weeks). Soak and repeat. It is a lifehack for the individuals of just wanting to try every single headphones on the planet, but I feel sorry for the retailer.

    I suppose that’s what youtube reviewers would do.

      Most YouTube reviewers get free samples, either loans or flat out keepsies. It’s one of the big issues with reviewers, they are incentivised not to give bad reviews if they want to keep getting free stuff.
