This sale ended… According to today’s email newsletters from Costco, today (Monday 1/22/18) is the last day for the 1More dual driver in-ears going for $35, and the Jaybird Freedom wireless going for $50.

If you like the semi-randomness of “grab bags” and you are a fan of MEE Audio, then you may be interested to learn that Massdrop is back with another MEE Audio Grab Bag Earphone promotion running for the next four days and change (from blog posting date here).
You pay $14 with free US shipping and for that you are guaranteed to randomly receive one out of three M6-series earphones, the M6 (60%), or the M6B (bluetooth; 25%), or the “M6 PRO” (15%). The “M6 PRO” is the big get of this group, but only a 15% chance.
Each member can buy up to two grab bags. Each one is randomly decided, so there’s no guarantee you will get two different models. Especially since 60% off shoppers will get the M6. They also offer a few “prizes” unlocked based on how many units get sold.
These will ship in late February 2018, with all sales final. There is no mention of warranty in the listing.
