Missed Op: Philips Fidelio X1 for $170

Earlier today, Amazon sneaked in the new condition open-back over-ear Philips Fidelio X1 as a lightning deal for $170. Unfortunately they do not include this in their Lightning Deals schedule, so the only way for me to catch it and post it on the site is to check at exactly the time it goes live. Since these deals typically last around four hours, it’s harder to find it and then be able to post it immediately (unfortunately they don’t have a WordPress Brain plug-in yet).

The good news is that this is a recurring deal, so it may return again in the future, and hopefully it may even be featured as one of the daily deals, which are a lot easier to catch since they last 24 hours.
