Refurbished Bose QuietComfort 15 ANC Over-Ears for $205

If you prefer the previous generations of Bose’s ANC over-ears that are powered by a AAA battery instead of a built-in rechargeable, Woot is offering the refurbished Bose QuietComfort 15 for $200 plus $5 flat shipping. Limit three per customer. They come with a 90-day Woot warranty. The offer ends around 12/22/16 or so.

JLabs JBuds for $2.50 + S&H

If you are planning to place a Woot order, you could add to it the JLabs JBuds earbuds for $2.50 per pair, in new condition, in the pink color scheme, with up to three units per customer and with a 30-day JLab warranty.

Shipping is $5 flat for everything you buy at Woot during a calendar day in the Central time zone, so it doesn’t make financial sense to buy just one pair of these and pay $5 flat shipping. On the other hand, if you were already buying something else, you would be already paying the $5 flat shipping, so the $2.50 earbuds would be added as a “snack”.

PS: there are a few more headphones at Woot as part of their “Woot Plus” sales. The “Plus” sales are not daily deals but last longer. Sort of like Groupon or NewEgg Flash.
