Refurbished Sony XB 600 Extra Bass for $40

I am not becoming certifiably certifiable, the reason you see a string of certified refurbished items is because I am going through the list of 150+ certified refurbished headphones at Amazon, and among them is the Sony XB 600 Extra Bass folding headphones going for $40 by DealFisher thru Amazon, so they are Prime eligible.

They include the original accessories and a 90-day warranty. “Certified Refurbished” appears to be an Amazon term for products that fit certain requirements, a highlighted screenshot of that segment below.

As you can see, these can be manufacturer refurbisher or other-party refurbished, as long as they fulfill the above requirements.

JBL Synchros Slate Over-Ears for $40 (Open Box or Refurbished) [Powered by 2 AA batteries]

These are not wireless but they are powered headphones, they take two AA batteries to activate JBL’s proprietary “Live Stage” technology-marketing. They are the closed-back over-ear JBL Synchros Slate going for $40 with free shipping in two different options:

+ open-box by All 4 Cellular (A4C) directly

+ certified refurbished by A4C fulfilled by Amazon (Prime eligible)

Refurbished Harman Kardon Soho-A On-Ears for $40 w/free s&h

Online seller A4C (aka All 4 Cellular) specializes in clearance/refurbished items, but even they have rotating daily deals on the front page of their website that are often discounted compared to their regular discounted prices. Among them at the moment is the refurbished Harman Kardon Soho-A On-Ears going for $40 with free shipping. Refurbished items come with a 90-day replacement warranty from A4C, not the manufacturer.

NOTE: when shopping there, pay attention to the individual listing. They sell a mix of new condition, refurbished, and use products. Everything there gets free shipping, even the $3 generic earbuds 🙂

$5 Modal Earbuds with Tablet Purchase (300+ options)

And now a bundle offer on the low end of the earphone spectrum, you can get Modal earbuds for $5 when you purchase them together with a qualifying tablet (300+ options) at the Best Buy website. The offer is available online only, not at their stores.

Etymotic EATFL1-6 Triple Flange Sleeves for $7.79

On the consumable accessories front, the Etymotic EATFL1-6 Triple Flange Sleeves (for all SE models except for the SE102MPA), along with the SCL3 through 5, and E3c through E5c, and E500, are on sale for $7.79 at Amazon.com. Free shipping for Prime members or with a $49+ order. Thankfully they are NOT Add-On items 🙂

PS: “consumable” from the earphones’ perspective, not from a human’s perspective. Do not eat these 🙂
