Back in the day, you had one pair of headphones for everything, and they weren’t very good at anything (picture the Sony Walkman metal headband and foam ear pads). Now that there are unlimited options, it can seem like you need a different pair for every occasion. Not so. Most people only need a solid set of noise-canceling headphones and some workout-ready earbuds, both of which are included in Bose’s enticing new eBay sale.
The audio company actually sells factory-refurbished gear through its own eBay account, backed by the same one-year warranty as new products, so that’s a good page to bookmark. And right now, QuietComfort 35 Series I headphones are $150 off and SoundSport Free wireless earbuds are $80 off. That’s a savings of over 40% on both. And while discounts are expected on refurbished gear, this is an especially good (and semi-secret) sale, as the QuietComfort cans are selling for $30 more on the official Bose website.
You can check out some of the specs below, or if you’re ready to buy, just head on over to eBay. They’re both over 84% sold out at the time of writing, so the discounts won’t last.
QuietComfort 35 Series I Wireless Headphones
It should be noted that there is now a Series II version of these (currently $50 off), but this original model features active noise canceling, up to 20 hours of playback and synthetic leather ear cushions.
SoundSport Free Wireless Headphones
These workout-specific headphones have garnered praise from publications like Men’s Health and GQ, and it’s because they just sound so much better than your typical sweat-resistant pair. They offer up to five hours of playback and include a charging case that will recharge them twice over.
