Solid deal. It's basically this vs waiting for the sony ult's to drop to 80 on secondipity. The 720's I think drop to 40-60 there. If you want new and from amazon then the posted deal is the way to go.
I have the sony ults from secondpity. The biggest negative of them is that they're insanely bulky. I listened to everything best buy had on demo, and agree with most comments online about the ults being better than the 720's. The difference isn't that big, though. If you're looking for BT headphones and scared by the 200+ price point, then these are such a good value, and I wouldn't feel like you're missing out by not getting the xm4 xm5 or quiet comforts.

If you are going the route of bose refurbished, make sure you check the battery life within the return period (90 days i believe). I got my bose 700 as refurbished from bose, and the battery life is not great.
In terms of comfort, i think that bose is much better (based on my experience with qc35, bose 700, sony 720, sony xm4). In terms of performance, bose is better than sony 720. but I'd rate xm4 to be at par with qc35 or bose 700, if not better. i especially like the customizability of xm4 through the app.
if you can still get it at $140, I'd go with the bose refurbished while keeping an eye on the battery life. i understand the cost is almost double, but something like this will last a while.

Interesting. I'll do just that. For battery life do we just run a loop for a few hours?

There are probably better methods out there but this is what i used:
- at full charge, see how many hours playtime is mentioned (does it match with specs? if not, by how much does it miss the specs?)
- play for a couple of hours and recheck time remaining; does it match? (so if you have played it for 2 hours, does it say 15 hours remaining, when full charged was 17 hours remaining)
- do these a few times to see if there is consistency, and if you can live with it (for example if plan is to use it for long flights)
also, just be aware that the bose ear cushions will likely fall apart in a few years but can easily be replaced with original parts.

Got 3 refurbs from secondipity around $44 a few months ago.
I would spend more and go for the XM4 because there is a night and day difference. The NC on this is bad. I bought the 720n's it for the kids and not me.

Bose is for sure better but more expensive. If it's that nice bose refurb on here yesterday, and you don't mind paying more, for sure just get those and call it good.

It has ANC. Can it block the noise in the airplane or the gym compared to a cheapest Bose ANC headphone?
I have these and XM4, Bose QC15. Both XM4 and QC15 are whole different level of ANC but at home I prefer these for their weight, less physical pressure as well as ANC pressure when enabled. Got them refurb for $50

FYI these are returnable until January 31, so could always order them and return if price drops.

These were better than the beats but sound wise the soundcore sounded and felt a lot better . They are both on sale multiple places for $70-80
