Music is the universal language, which means that almost everyone appreciates receiving an upgrade to their listening experience during the holiday season. Unfortunately, premium sound technology doesn’t come cheap, which can make it tough to fit one high-end speaker or headphone into your gift-giving budget, let alone multiple.
Thankfully, we’re going to let you in on a little-known secret that will help you spread some holiday cheer far and wide: Bose offers one of the best refurbished product programs in the entire industry, and for a limited time (until December 21st, to be precise) they’re offering you an additional 10% off with the coupon code HOLIDAY-REFURBISHED-10.
Everything You Need To Know About Bose Certified Refurbished
Whatever biases or preconceptions you have about buying refurbished, forget them. Bose delivers the same standards of care in repackaging, repairing (if necessary), and cleaning their refurbished products as they do in making them to begin with. And because they supply all of the usual product accessories, rigorously test each refurbished product before sale, and include the same one-year warranty they supply with their new products, there’s no downside to opting for refurbished.
In fact, there are some very important upsides, beginning with the cost savings. Each refurbished product from Bose will cost you on average $50 less than it would new, and with an additional 10% off that price thanks to the above-mentioned coupon code, you can buy sweat-proof headphones for your athletic friend and portable speakers for the student in your life without doing nearly as much damage to your holiday gift budget.
There’s also the important matter of the environment. Recycling products with skill and care, the way Bose does, seriously cuts down on their carbon footprint, since so much of the total emissions release occurs in the manufacturing stage. By offering a robust refurbished program, Bose isn’t just helping out your wallet, they’re also doing Mother Nature a solid.
Still not sold? We’re showcasing some of our favorite Bose offerings to inspire you and make the job of holiday gift giving that much easier. And please note: all prices listed below are before the additional 10% savings supplied by the coupon code HOLIDAY-REFURBISHED-10, meaning they’re even more affordable than featured.
Refurbished Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II
If you’re looking to find the perfect gift for a runner, gym addict or otherwise fitness-conscious person, look no further than the QuietComfort Earbuds II. They offer big, immersive sound in a lightweight, sturdy package, as well as some of the best noise cancelling available today, so ambient noise — traffic, coffee shop chatter or the sound of other people lifting weights — will never again take you out of the zone. With IPX4 certification, meaning they are sweat- and splash-proof, coupled with their intuitive touch controls, these are a phenomenal option for anyone who wants to work out distraction-free.

Refurbished Bose QuietComfort 45 Headphones
Bose’s signature headphones truly have to be experienced to be appreciated. They may share a silhouette with dozens of competitors, but the sound quality, noise cancelling and overall comfort are worlds apart. The long-lasting battery can deliver up to 22 hours of music before requiring a recharge, while the built-in microphone offers exceptional call quality, making these as reliable for work as they are for play. We even love the included protective carrying case, which helps make these headphones a travel essential, especially when long flights are involved.

Refurbished Bose Smart Soundbar 900
This splurge-worthy item is the ideal gift to give yourself. Everyone focuses on having the biggest, thinnest TV, but once you’ve gone beyond a certain size, resolution and refresh rate, it’s time to ditch the built-in television speakers for something better — like the Smart Soundbar 900, for example. The thin, sleek unit sits comfortably on any TV stand, offering immersive sound to help bring to life whatever you’re watching, from sports to action movies to nature documentaries. And with native support for Dolby Atmos, Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Spotify, you can use it to enjoy all your favorite content regardless of service.

Refurbished Bose Bass Module 700
A soundbar is a great upgrade over your television’s built-in (and likely paltry) speakers, but if you really want the cinema experience from the comfort of your living room, you need the kind of thumping sound only a subwoofer can deliver. The Bass Module 700 offers the same sleek, wireless design of the soundbar (in fact, they pair nicely together!) but delivers a complementary sound, filling out the deep lows produced by drums or the resonance of a bass guitar, but more than that, it will allow you to feel every car chase, gun fight or cinematic explosion. Want an immersive home cinema? The Bass Module 700 is a must.

Refurbished Bose Portable Smart Speaker
Sharing the look and dimensions of an old-school lantern, the Bose Portable Smart Speaker fills your room up with sound rather than light, with a 360-degree speaker array delivering crisp sound and deep bass. The included handle makes it easy to carry, and with 12 hours of battery life, a sweat-proof design and easy integration with Apple Airplay 2, this is also a great option for picnics, pool parties and other outdoor events.

Refurbished Bose SoundLink Micro Speaker
If you’re after ultimate portability, you can’t do better than the aptly-named SoundLink Micro. This thing is small enough to fit into most coat pockets, easily tucks into bags and backpacks and has a sturdy strap attached to the rear allowing you to attach it to shower rods, tent poles or bike handlebars with ease. Don’t let the small size fool you, either: this Micro is mighty, packing big sound into a compact, sweat-, dust- and weather-resistant package that can pump out up to six hours of tunes before needing a recharge.
