While writing up the free 1-day shipping post, I came upon another discount. The Thinksound ts01 in-ears are on sale for $36 per pair (limit 5) and they are also eligible for free 1-day shipping.

Free 1-Day shipping on select headphones at Amazon

It is the time of the year again for free 1-day shipping promotion, and Amazon offering this for select studio and audiophile headphones. You must manually select 1-Day shipping in your shopping cart to get this (unless 1-day shipping is your default shipping option). No coupon needed. So far, I’ve spotted these headphones being eligible for free 1-day shipping (remember, these must be sold by Amazon.com actual, not marketplace sellers):

+ Shure SRH-1840
+ Sennheiser HD 380 Pro and HD25-1 II
+ the HD 650 are eligible for the promotion, however, they are estimated to be in-stock December 26, which is too late if you are planning to give them as a Christmas gift
+ Sennheiser Urbanite XL
+ V-Moda Crossfade M100
+ V-MODA VAMP Verza Universal Headphone Amplifier
+ Audio Technica ATH-M50xBL or ATH-M50x white

15% off on 70+ headphones at MF with coupon (eg Focal Classic and Pro)

Musician’s Friend has a new coupon code, use code STNICK to get 15% off an order of $49 or more from over 40,000 products which includes 80+ headphones. The headphones are under the “Pro Audio” category. As usual, price check items of interest as MF prices are typically different than Amazon and such. I can’t price-check 80+ headphones on a dime, but of potential interest are the Focal Classic and Professional going for 15% off their regular prices of $350 (= $298) and $400 (= $340) which decidedly beat Amazon’s prices. You can filter by manufacturer using the left sidebar of their page. Coupon expires 12/23/14.

B&M Dec 21-27: Audio Technica sport-fit and core-sport earphones for $5 each

According to the Staples Weekly Ad for the week of December 21-27 (2014) posted on their website under the “Weekly Ad” section, their brick and mortar stores will have the “Audio Technica sport-fit and core-sport headphones” for $5 per pair. The picture shows a pair of earphones and says assorted SKUs but does not specify which particular models are participating. This will likely get clarified on Sunday Dec-21-2014 when the deals go live. Not all their stores carry these, so it is definitely a YMMV.
