This sold out fairly quickly. As of 5pm ET, it’s already out of stock and cannot be ordered…

It’s Eggbuster time at NewEgg! They are offering the older new condition Bose MIE2 earphones for $40 with free shipping, sold by NewEgg actual, at the NewEgg website and the NewEgg Business website. The sale ends next Wednesday or earlier if sold out.

They have a speaker-y protrusion that enters the ear canal but does not create a seal. So you can hear the outside world, but since you won’t get a seal, you won’t get an ideal sound either. As it goes with the Bose reputation, convenience and comfort are their priorities and/or areas of expertise.
