Bose SoundTrue Semi In-Ears (iOS) for $117

Shhhh! Don’t let the audiophiles see this! The Bose SoundTrue semi in-ears with buttons for iOS devices are currently on sale for $117 with free shipping at Amazon.com. These are on the same product page as the Freestyle models, so pay attention if you are changing the OS or color-scheme options over there. These are neither classic earbuds not in-ears. They have a speaker-protrusion that crosses the earhole plane (not a scientific term) but it does not create a seal. Speaking of Bose, a number of other items in their line-up are discounted at authorized dealers with the Dads and Grads season, including their QC20i ANC in-ears going for $250 (in-cable rechargeable li-ion battery).
