Among the sneak preview items listed Tuesday: LSTN headphones and speakers at savings up to 50 percent, a Segway personal transporter at 20 percent savings, baby clothing (20 percent off) and a Luno Wear men’s watch (35 percent off). Sample pricing of LSTN headphones currently: $29 for earbuds, $59 for over-ear headphones with wood housings and $199 for a Bluetooth speaker.
