Anyone have this that can comment on it being worth the price? Bose makes good stuff but my guess is the returns are diminishing at this cost.

It is good price. Specially since it is from Bose direct so you're not dealing with an eBay third-party.

However, this model does not have a mic so you can't use it as a speakerphone. For me that's a dealbreaker.

Most of my Bose products (10ish) are refurbished and none of them arrived with defects or scratches. When a pair of headphones failed within the warranty period, they sent me a brand new replacement in retail packaging.

If I didn't have two flex I would jump on this. Stereo is way better than all these mono speakers forcing you to buy two. Though my two flex has better left and right due to being spread apart.

This model is stereo (actual stereo) versus the Flex and others that are mono and require two speakers for stereo.

I have this one and also had the Flex (still have it) and I think it sounds amazing and better than anything like it out there. I paid much more for mine and don't regret it at all.

That's what I said. Not sure how you read it wrong. I have 2 flex and can spread them apart so the stereo is wider.

If you're seriously thinking about getting this, you should pop at this price. My local Meijer had one marked down to $249, but I didn't pop on it because I didn't need it. My Flex SE refurb from Woot came in a Bose white box with Refurbished printed on the box, and it was like new condition. You will likely not see this price again.
