I bought i9s from Nordstrom Rack for $29 compared to Apple's AirPods that start off at $159. 😱
I have been looking for a good pair of wireless headphones for the longest especially to use for when I am working out. Currently, to purchase the basic model of Apple AirPods costs $159 with the non-wireless charging case. I have seen them as low as $139 if purchased new on sale at Walmart, Best Buy, or Amazon. Still, for me that is a hefty price for something that can be easily lost.
I had tested out a few dupes of the wireless AirPods without any luck. For me it was either the sound was great, but the pods themselves were too big for my ears or vice versa with the sound quality lacking and the pods fitting just right. I was beginning to feel a bit like goldilocks when I finally came across the answer to my problems. I was searching through Nordstrom Rack and came across these.
I purchased the black pair with a white case. With shipping and tax included it ended up being $29. At the time of making my purchase the all white pair was not available. As a brunette I am happy to have a black pair. This way it is a little less noticeable when I have the pods in. Black tends to camouflage better with my hair color.

My Final Order Summary
Normally, this transaction would have been $29, which is still a GREAT deal. However, I had a HauteLook credit of $20. This pretty much paid for the headphones themselves, so all I had to pay was the shipping and tax. My cost was a grand total of $9! Compared to the original cost of the item at $49.99. I got 80% off!
Tip: my credit was from points I had accumulated over time for being a HauteLook member.
Bonus: I will be receiving points towards my HauteLook/Nordstrom Rack account for this transaction as well as 1% cash back through RetailMeNot.
Hindsight 20/20: I would have bought the 2 pack of headphones if I had known I was going to love them as much as I do! This way I could have given the 2nd pair away as a gift for a friend's birthday or even Father's Day, which is right around the corner.
I hope you are as successful as me with your purchase! Let me know below if you bought anything else from HauteLook or Nordstrom Rack after signing up!
