This bonkers new Woot deal, for instance, brings the WH-1000XM5 down to just $227.99… in “grade A” refurbished condition. That’s obviously not an ideal buying setup, as refurbished gear tends to come with a number of inherent disadvantages compared to the same gadgets in brand-new condition, but for what it’s worth, today’s offer (which is only good today and tomorrow) includes a full 1-year warranty.
That doesn’t change the fact that you need to settle for Sony WH-1000XM5 units (available in a single black colorway) with “minimal cosmetic damage”, but it should definitely strengthen Woot’s “like-new functionality” promise even further. Of course, if you’re still not sold on the idea of purchasing a refurb at well over two Benjamins, you can always spend… well over three Benjamins at Walmart for a new unit marked down by a hefty $85 of its own.
