Brooklyn Headphone Company headphones for $21

The featured Staples.com deals include the new condition Brooklyn Headphone Company Studio Pro DJ headphones for $21 per pair, with the offer ending by 5/26/15. The listing is almost naked, very little information is given. From the pictures we can deduce they fold, and that different cables are included. You can have them shipped to a Staples store for free. Rewards members get free shipping to their address of choice as well. This is a bit of a pig-in-a-poke type of a purchase since little information is posted over there.

In parallel, at the same place, from the same manufacturer, but in a separate listing/offer, they have the BHC BK9 studio headphones for $27 per pair, with five different color options available. This ends 5/23/15 with the same shipping options as the one above.
