1MORE Triple Driver In-Ears for $60 to $63
A new manufacturer discount launched today (12/23/16) until 1/22/17 that can get you the 1MORE Triple Driver In-Ears for $60 with free shipping at Costco if you are a member, or $63 if you are not a member (a 5% surcharge). Limit five per member.
As of the time of writing, the manufacturer discount has not (yet?) been factored in at Amazon.com. Amazon actual and the 1More official store are the only sellers of these over there, but they are both at $85. Amazon is too big for its own good sometimes, manufacturer discounts may not always get factored in immediately for smaller brands and less well-known products.
But still, getting the Costco deal is great visibility for 1More, since Costco (despite its Godzilla size) sells less than a dozen (!) different headphones.
