Motorola S11-Flex HD Bluetooth Headset for $34.99
The Amazon Gold Box deal of the day for Saturday 7/18/15 is the new condition Motorola S11-Flex HD Bluetooth Headset (solid frame, behind the neck) for $34.99. You can buy as many as you like. Woot is the seller of record but the order is fulfilled by Amazon.com, so you get the usual free 2-day Prime shipping or with a $35+ order. Which is why the $34.99 price is important, because you have to buy something else, or at least two of these for free shipping if you are not a Prime member. These average 3.5 out of 5 based on over 1300 customer reviews. They also have 220+ questions answered by other amazon.com customers. The offer ends by 3am ET on Sunday or earlier if they sell out.
Used Philips SHB7150FB/27 for $41
There are multiple used listings of the Philips SHB7150FB/27 bluetooth headphones at Amazon Warehouse Deals in “Used – Very Good” condition.

But I have no idea how their computers decide how to do this, so this is very YMMV. They average 4 out of 5 based on 29 customer reviews.
