Thanks for checking out our Open Box and Closeout products! These items have been deemed open box for a variety of reasons, including being returned from a customer or online reviewer, slight blemishes in the finish, or for one reason or another our trusted QC inspections team came across a speaker brand new from our factory that had a bit of personality to it ;) But don't worry, these speakers have been acoustically tested and perform perfectly! Open-Box specials offer savings on Aperion Clearus In-Wall&In-Ceiling speakers. All Clearus Open-Box products look and perform "like new" and carry a Five (5) years warranty.
