Refurbished Sony WF1000X Truly Wireless for $100

The new condition Sony WF1000X truly wireless earphones go for $200 at authorized Sony USA dealers, but if you want to cut the price in half, you can get them in certified refurbished condition for $100 by Secondipity fulfilled by Amazon (Prime shipping) in your choice of black color scheme.
