Are you going to wear the exact same wardrobe this summer as you did last year?  Many of us will mix and match some of last year’s clothes and accessories with a few new things.  Just last week I found a cool green cotton shirt that works perfectly with a pair of shorts I bought last year.  Summer is a great time to add to your look. New clothes and shoes are a must at this time of year, but you will also look great with new stylish Bose headphones to complete the ensemble.

Face it, many of us spend a lot of time wearing headphones as we commute to work, exercise or simply spend a few leisurely hours outside on the beach or getting pumped up before a concert.  Enter this contest by showing off your new look and you could win a set of fantastic new Bose SoundTrue or Bose FreeStyle headphones.

Bose is synonymous with high quality sound. The Bose SoundTrue headphones feature advanced engineering in a lightweight, stylish design that come in a variety of colours. The foldable ear-cups and matching carrying case make them easy to transport, while the inline microphone simplifies switching between music and phone calls. Bose FreeStyle ear-buds are perfect for that morning run or that worthwhile hour in the gym.  Your music will sound better than ever. Additionally, Bose has introduced some great style into their new SoundTrue and FreeStyle lines of headphones. You don’t want to miss out on your chance to win a set of these great Bose headphones!

HOW TO ENTER: 

 

You must follow Best Buy on Instagram. Take a picture of your unique summer look and share it on Instagram. Include a comment about which pair of Bose SoundTrue or Freestyle headphones would take your summer style to the next level.

Be sure to include @BBYCanada and the hashtag #BoseStyle in the caption.

                           That is all you need to do and you will be eligible to win.

WHAT YOU CAN WIN:

We will randomly select a winner from all qualified entries. The winner will receive a pair of Bose SoundTrue over-ear headphones, a pair of Bose SoundTrue on-ear headphones or a pair of Bose FreeStyle ear buds. Examples of the prizes are pictured here.
