Deal Details
Bose.com [bose.com] has refurb QuietComfort 35 II headphones for $159.
Yes it's refurb, but it's direct from Bose, and is the lowest outright price I've seen that doesn't need a military discount, Prime credit card discount, etc.
$20 cheaper than the $179 price that was offered earlier, and $40 less than the $199 sale price of a new unit.

Bose's refurbs contain the same 1-year Warranty as a new unit.
You can pay with a CC that adds an extra year of warranty on refurb products, such as Chase credit cards.
Free return shipping within 90 days (vs. eBay store's 30 days)

Black [bose.com] $159

Silver [bose.com] $159

Rose Gold [bose.com] $159

Midnight Blue [bose.com] $159 (temporarily OOS)

If you purchase from Bose through their eBay store they come with a two year warranty (via Allstate) instead of just a one.

At this price, absolutely, if you value sound. It's a little light on features, but it's comfortable, has excellent sound, and at this price, it's a steal.

Yes, Bose's eBay site does give a 2-year Allstate warranty, but only allows for a 30-day return window. The Bose.com website gives a 90-day return window.

I bought with a credit card (Chase Freedom, 5% cash back via PayPal Key) that extends the 1-year warranty by another year, making it a 2-year warranty anyway. Plus with the added benefit of getting 90 days to test it out rather than just 30.

A lot of credit cards don't offer that year on refurbished

Chase (Freedom), which I used, does offer Extended Warranty in this particular context. See screenshot below from its Guide to Benefits.

You can also read about this nice little perk here [mouseprint.org].

Not sure why this is downvoted.

I bought 2, used $20 off new user coupon, used AMEX with $30 off $200 and went through cashback portal for extra 2%.

Order total needs to e $200 to use coupon and AMEX deal.

People are hating because it's Refurb, even though it's Bose refurb and I trust that as much as Apple direct refurbs, very good quality control and they make sure it's basically new.
I guess people would rather spend $180 on new, than $159 on refurb.

I could see why

Bose refurbs are as solid as Apple's but $21 is too small of a difference for most to just buy a "new" set

That being said $160-180 is still far better value than buying the newer QC45, these are the most comfortable headphones on the market bar none

My new user code is only 20 off 199.00. However I called sales and they applied a one time courtesy 20 off code.
