Used Bowers & Wilkins PX ANC/BT Over/On-Ears for $295

I just started a mini dive into Amazon Warehouse Deals, so expect some used posts in a row (depending on what I find). As with most things blog, the newer posts will appear above it, not below it, since reverse-chronological order makes the most sense for time-sensitive type of posting.

The new condition Bowers & Wilkins PX active noise cancelling bluetooth headphones go for $400 in new condition, but if you are comfortable with used, you can shave about 1/4th of the price by getting them in “Used – Very Good” condition for $295~ with free shipping at Amazon Warehouse Deals. They have two listings, both are damaged original packaging, with minor cosmetic imperfections on the item (item = the headphones in this case).

PS: I can’t tell from the shape of the earpads/earcups whether these are over-ear or on-ears, thus the all-encompassing “Over/On-Ears” 🙂

YMMV: Puku Sound Earphones Clearance at Starbucks B&M

This is YMMV as I only saw these in one out of four Starbucks stores. As part of the customary January clearance sale, some Starbucks brick and mortar stores may have the Puku Sound in-ears on clearance. The clearance prices are up to 50% off the original price. The discount may vary regionally or at a manager’s discretion so check the price at the cash register if interested.

This is YMMV, as perhaps some of the smaller or less busy stores don’t carry as much inventory as other stores. I’m not sure what the model number was, but they are Puku Sound earphones.
