Yurbuds Inspire 100 Mossy Oak Earbuds for $5 w/free S&H
Yurbuds is part of JBL which is part of Harman which is part of Samsung 🙂 The Yurbuds Inspire 100 Mossy Oak Earbuds are on sale for $5 with free shipping at the JBL website and the Harman Audio website. Limit up to ten units per customer.
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.
