AKG K619 On-Ears for $30 (multiple colors)

The closed-back on-ear AKG K619 headphones, some could argue a tastefully bassy headphone, is currently on sale for $30 in multiple color options at the AKG mothership, Harman Audio. However, note that this is a fragile headphone per multiple reports, so unless they fixed production/material, hold on tight to the warranty and receipt!

Open-box Sony MDR-Z7 w/full warranty for $589

If you are interested in the Sony MDR-Z7 and you are trying to triangulate between new condition ($700) or used, there is a middle ground option that gets you the full warranty, an open-box in original packaging from authorized dealer OneCall through their eBay store for $589 with free shipping. As of the time of writing, they have three available.

Yamaha EPH-100SL In-Ears drop to $88

The Yamaha EPH-100SL in-ears have now dropped to around $88 at Amazon by Amazon actual {corrected link}, with a limit of five per customer. However, the shipping estimate is a vague “ships within 1 to 2 months”, so if you need them by a specific date or occasion, keep that in mind. Often Amazon has a conservative estimate to prevent disappointments, so they may ship earlier but it is by no means guaranteed. They average 3.9 out of 5 based on 166 customer reviews and have 24 questions answered.

Able Planet Travelers Choice On-Ears for $8 w/free S&H [updated]

UPDATE (9/16/15): you can now get them for less, $8 with free shipping, and in multiple colors of your choice at BuyDig.com. Physically they look a lot like the AmazonBasics On-Ears but I don’t have them both in hand, so I can’t compare.

On the budget $10 on-ear front, you can the Ableplanet Travelers Choice On-ear headphones, available in four different colors, from the Staples website. Free shipping to a local store. If you are a Staples rewards member (free to join), you get free shipping to your address of choice. These are plain wired on-ears, no ANC (a plus considering some of the Able Planet ANC sound).

PS: if you have Staples Rewards, don’t forget to use them towards this purchase!

Koss KPH7 Lightweight On-Ears for $3 [limit 5]

Everybody gets Koss! At the moment, the lightweight on-ear black Koss KPH7 headphones are on sale for $3 per pair, in new condition, with a limit of five per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual. The only downside to this is that they are part of the Add-On program, so you must place a $25+ order before your shopping cart allows you to make a purchase. The restriction applies to Prime members as well. Five of these = $15, so you would still need $10+.

Two more colors of these are on sale for just under $5 per pair, also part of the Add-On program, and with a limit of five each as well.

Massdrop Final Audio Design Grab Bag for $49 shipped

Members-only Massdrop is having another grab bag promotion. This time four different Final Audio Design IEMs of four different price levels are participating. One grab bag means you will get one of the four – randomly. You pay $49 with free shipping. Offer ends in 7 days or when 1000 units are purchased, whichever happens first.

The four IEMs participating:

  • Adagio II: 38% of units ($49)
  • Adagio III: 38% of units ($69)
  • Heaven II: 16% of units ($129)
