Whoa, they fell to $23.99 today! Hope you get a chance to get the price difference back from Amazon if you paid more.

They were that price earlier. Only in black, though. Silver ones still at $26.99.

I liked the silver ones a lot more though, so I was ok with paying the $3.

Oh, I see. I paid $31 for mine a month ago. Don't feel bad. I feel like at the price I paid, it was still excellent value. You're just getting it with the added bonus of bragging about the price you paid.

Been wearing the wolverines for 30 mins and so far I really like them. I normally have trouble with fitment with this style of buds but so far so good! I haven't tried running or anything as of yet though.

Amazon.ca has by far the best tech deals in Canada. Just picked up 32gb of ddr4 RAM and 2x240gb ssds for 150 and 160 respectively. They have timed deals on individual components. Tough to beat an 80% discount.

Sale is over, sorry. I'll post the next ones. In their sale promos there's usually one or two really good deals that last 12 hours or less.

Silver is $23.19 today.
12 hour lightning deal. You can contact Amazon and get the price difference.

Right now and until April 30th you can buy a $50 gift card from Amazon.ca and get a $10 promotional credit applied to your account. Just buy the gift card and enter this code at check-out:

0416GIFTCA

I believe the promo credit can be applied to anything sold by Amazon. Check redflag deals hot deals forum for more info.

The wolverines aren't nearly as good as my Jaybirds. They are much heavier and don't have as good a sound quality.

How significant is this difference in sound quality? Just curious. I don't believe any of us were going for audiophile quality when we picked these up at the price point that we did, but it would be interesting to know how they stack up as nearly all of us would agree the sound quality at least isn't ear cancer levels of bad but and excellent entry price point vs the price of Jaybirds.

Also, the wolverines aren't the same sporty style as the Jaybirds, so I would agree they probably wouldn't be as good for sports and physical activities. The cheetah and swift might be better comparables.

Nice. I nabbed mine. I believe this works only for Amazon gift cards (and not others like PSN, iTunes etc.) but you can easily send it to yourself and save an additional $10 on regular purchases.

I also read it's once per account, so if you have multiple accounts or want to take advantage again on a significant other's account, you can.

As in only one $10 credit per account? I can't load up on $500 worth of gift certificates?

That was kind my plan.

Just tried it. You can only buy one card. Code is invalid after that. Oh well still a great deal. Wish I knew about it before I just made a big order!

Meant to post this on Saturday, but the deal you posted was for the gold ones. I had checked, and silver was still $26. But I'm still happy with the price, lol.

AND, they just arrived at my office a little while ago. Synced em up with my phone and my work laptop. They're awesome!

Glad you like them though.

Good think you guys didn't load up $500 or $2k of cards only to get $10.
