I just bought the 660NC from a few days ago when this deal was first posted. I also already have a cheaper 510BT. The noise cancelling works okay, i'm kinda new to noise-cancelling headphones. Sound quality may be better than my 510BT, but that could just be a placebo. The headphone itself is in physical good shape, clean with what appears to be new cushions. The headphone has a custom name so they didn't reset or do anything electrical with the phone. Overall I would be 100% happy with the purchase if only the headphone didn't just stop outputting sound randomly, unless I disconnect and reconnect. I don't know if it's a defect with these specific headphones, or an issue with this model. My experience with JBL from my 510BT headphone isn't great either, it has quirks as well. Overall for $20, can't complain. But I wouldn't buy JBL new ever again.

Go + Play 3 are probably the best bluetooth speakers in its class if not encompassing all bluetooth speakers (battery). Better than Auras, Bose and Sonos in its category.
Retail:
$399.99 Best Buy
$449.95 Amazon Brand New
Aura 3's went on sale for $100 recently, slick deal.
Onyx Studio 8's are on sale refurbished right now for $129.99 on Woot
Onyx Studio 7's are on sale refurbished right now for $119 on Amazon Renewed.
For $20 more you can get Go+Plays that blow Studios and Auras out the water with a 2 year warrant from Allstate. https://www.ebay.com/itm/156428451357
Would this make a good PC speaker for music/gaming?
I'd say this is more for room audio. You won't get much stereo seperation, if any. Probably better off with a soundbar or speakers with separate channels.
You're paying extra for the wireless, portability, and battery. They aren't really needed for a PC that always sits in the same location.

Yes, I use these and Auras and the entire room sounds like a arcade room. They have good separation of treble and bass unlike the Auras which have very good bass (subs inside that tiny speaker) but weak treble but overall still good especially if you get then sub $101. Theres a reason why BMW premium sounds on their 5 series packages and up are outsourced to Harman Kardon for the last 30 years.
Plug in for best experience. You can also take these outdoors on picnics, to the beach etc and they will perform better than all bluetooth speakers including all ultimateears, yes, all except for those in the PartyBox category but then will still outperform highs and mids in that category as well.
I bought from previous deal and returned. Whereas this is portable, the fabric outer sleeve and down-firing woofer makes this pretty high risk for being damaged while outdoor camping and such. It's really a movable table-top room speaker, from my experience.

Yes, the thing with HKs are that they either last a year or a decade. The last models have an issue of attracting dirt because of their fabric, no problems indoors but can be an issue outdoors. I have several HK products from 10+ years ago, I also had an issue with HK within a few months, YMMV.
You just really need to hear and experience for yourself, theres nothing else to it. If you don't like a product from eBay or Amazon, just return it, simple as that. There is literally no risk anymore. But if youre a lazy person who doesnt get returns on time etc, that may become an issue. Refurbished products are perfect to try and use or keep especially with the Allstate 2 year warranty but I wouldnt risk that, I would just return within 30 days, many places like Amazon and Woot will still let you keep the product
