The white Tascam TH-02-B studio-ish headphones had been steady at $15 the last few weeks but not the black model. However, right now, the black model is on sale for $15 as well at Amazon.com by Amazon actual. But that’s not all. Tascam has a mail-in rebates promotion (purchase period ends 12/31/14), and among them is a $5 mail-in rebate (MIR) on the TH-02 and a $5 MIR on the TH-MX2 as well. The rebate limit is one for each headphone model, but Amazon lets you buy as many as you want at $15 (but only one of them is eligible for the $5 MIR)… These average 4.1 out of 5 based on 208 customer reviews.
