Community Reviews

Bose QuietComfort Ultra wireless noise cancelling headphones are being discussed as an open box deal, with the main appeal being premium noise cancelling and the chance to save versus new. Open box units can arrive looking brand new, and some buyers have found better pricing through Bose offers or trade in deals. The main caution is that Best Buy open box grading and fulfillment can be inconsistent, with reports of heavily used items, wrong items, and occasional failures after a short time. A solid option if the savings outweigh the open box risk.

  • The open-box unit can look new, which makes the purchase feel closer to a fresh product.

  • A return started with Bose within one year can result in a brand-new replacement.

  • An Amex card can enable a Bose.com new purchase around $220 after cashback and related offers.

    DealHunter1001

  • Trade-in math can bring the effective price down to about $249 when combining the listed trade-in and Amex credit.

  • Open-box grading can be inconsistent, with "Excellent" sometimes showing heavy use while "Fair" can arrive brand new.

    StrategyFreak

  • An open-box order can ship the wrong item, and online orders may require shipping it back and waiting about seven days for a refund.

    Bondgamer02

  • Open-box purchases can fail quickly, including a device that died when charging and required a warranty replacement process.

    sghov0106

  • Open-box buying can be risky enough that used or open-box headphones may not be worth the savings compared with buying new.

This must be the old version, they made some slight upgrades or revisions to it, I think the newer 1.1 model can do lossless audio via USBC?

And some other minor tweak.

Downvoted because of missing compelling context. One single negative experience isn't everything.

I also had bad luck i guess with open box. Got a shokz mini open run pro 2 in excellent condition. Worked fine for a week or two and died when trying to charge it. Luckily comes with warranty from shokz so they sent me another, not sure if new or another open box. Out of town now when it arrived like 2 weeks after i submitted a claim

Cypress Green would be the regular Quietcomforts, I'm pretty sure. Eitherway if they did find them for $96, seems like a needle in a haystack.

very dependent on situation. Some open box is brand new, whereas others is beat to hell

I will agree there are some gems in the rough, but Best Buy really needs to improve their product grading. Some "Excellent" condition is very heavily used and other "Fair" Condition is brand new

I had a similar bad experience as well. Wrong item was sent . Since it was ordered online , no store would take it back. Had to ship it back and then wait 7 days for refund.

If you have the money go for new. Never buy used headphones/earphones/headsets . Not worth the savings
