What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Reviews

Very Pleased!
Very comfortable and the sound is smooth and full. Great suggestion from my Sales Engineer-Bob Mondok X1384. Of the several headphones I have, these are easily the best-worth every penny to someone who has some hearing impairment.

Solid with one flaw
I bought these for general music listening and for practicing bass. The bass is really good, but I did have to EQ to get the sound I wanted. Superb build quality and isolation. However, they have one fatal flaw: They weigh too much - almost 600 grams! I spend a lot of time in headphones practicing and the weight was a deal breaker for me, prompting me to return them. I've ordered the Focal Lensys, which cost more and are much lighter. Hopefully I will keep those. The return/exchange process was super easy. Thanks Kyle!
