These are products that may have a scratch or two, or may just have dinged packaging.In each case, Amazon gives you a clear description of the product's condition, so you can determine if it's worth it for you. If it is, go for it. If it's not, pass.Warehouse Dealshavetheirown section of Amazon, and theirown landing page.They're also listed under the "Used" section of an individual product's page.

That search is over.As with the P7's, my full review is available below, but I'll give you the highlights. These over-ear headphones are comfortable, and don't sound compromised.Like all Bluetooth headphones, the audio will be compressed between your phone and the headphones (less so if you're listening to lossy audio, or streaming), but you don't hear it. What youdo hear is great music.Connectivity is rock solid. They block out a lot of noise (they don't have active noise cancelling, though). If you're looking for a pair of Bluetooth headphones, but don't want to sacrifice quality, these are for you.B&O Play Beoplay H8 Bluetooth Headphones, Warehouse Price $342.41 ($415 New)Full ReviewA bluetooth speakerSony's H.ear Go speaker is actually a lot like the Beoplay H8 headphones: Wireless without compromise.You can use this as a Bluetooth speaker (as I did in my fully review, available below), but you can also connect to it through Wi-Fi, or a cable.
