As of a 3/6/15 re-check, only the red color scheme of the Beats Solo 2 on-ears remains on sale for $150 per pair, in new condition, at Amazon by Amazon actual.

Some of the color schemes of the latest Beats Solo 2 on-ear headphones (yes, the ones that generated a big debate among audiophile circles when they found their way to the *gasp* Inner Fidelity Hall of Fame) are on sale for $150 at Amazon and Best Buy.

Senal SMH-1000 Studio with free pouch for $70 [buy 3 sets for $180]

New York’s B&H Photo has a new sale on Senal Studio headphones. The more famous SMH-1000 with a free Senal storage pouch are offered for $70 with free shipping. If you need more, in multiples of three sets, page further down over there for a 3-pack for $180 (= $60 per set). The 3-pack also receives a free pouch per headphone. The freebies are included automatically, you don’t have to lift a finger 🙂

The less famous and lower priced SHM-500 are offered for $39 with free shipping. Or you can buy a 4-pack for $129 (= $32.50~ per headphone). No free pouches for the 500s.

BKHC Bluetooth Earphones for $24

On the colorful bluetooth basic earphones front, as part of the Staples website’s weekly deals (they call them daily deals, but they typically follow the weekly deal pattern), they are offering the BKHC bluetooth earphones for $24 per pair, in five different colors. Offer ends by 3/10/15 (unless they sell out).

These look very similar to the Urge Basics model which average 3.8 out of 5 with 45 customer reviews at amazon and go for $35. I haven’t seen either model, so my guess is only based on the webpages.
