JBL J22 earphones for $10 w/free s&h

Headphones big and small make their way to the eBay Deals. Right now eBay seller “AutoCareDepot” (98%) is offering the JBL J22 earphones for $10 with free shipping, in new condition, in either the black color scheme or the white color scheme. Limit of 50 per color per customer. These are straight up earphones, no mic/remote. A pouch is included.

Monoprice 10243 Over-Ears for $20

The Monoprice 10243 over-ear closed-back headphones (not to be confused with the blockbuster 8323 model) are currently on sale for $20 by marketplace sellers with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, which means free 2-day shipping for Prime members. These only have three customer reviews, so perhaps they are better suited for the curious and the explorers 🙂

AKG K240 Studio headphones for $50 w/free s&h

These average 4.3 out of 5 based on 690 customer reviews at amazon.com where they also have 91 questions answered.

Senal headphone pouch for $10 w/free s&h

If you just need a headphone pouch and nothing else, the Senal headphone pouch is going for $10 with free shipping at B&H Photo. It fits their own Senal headphones, but also other headphones of similar (or smaller) size. Check the dimensions in the “Specs” tab and the 29 customer reviews for more on fit and usage.

New release: Senal SMH-1200 Studio for $150

A new studio headphone is released, now in-stock and ready to get to your ears for $150 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo. These are closed-back over-ears with detachable cable and replaceable ear cushions and 40mm drivers.

These are above in terms of price and model number to the well-received Senal SMH-1000, which at the moment go for $90, or $110 in a bang for the buck bundle that includes the Fiio E6, an extra set of sheepskin leather earpads, a headphone pouch, and a headphone holder. The Fiio E6 alone goes for $20+.

HifiMan RE400i In-Ears for $55

The Hifiman RE-400i in-ears (lower case “i” for mic/remote) is currently on sale for $55~ with free shipping by BlinQ thru Amazon. This ships directly from BlinQ so it is not eligible for Prime shipping benefits.

A4C coupon gets you 20% sitewide

You are not going to find flagship headphones at A4C, but coupon code WRAPITUP will get you 20% off everything they carry, and everything gets free shipping. You will typically find older models and mostly sub-$100 items. Check their website, especially the Audio category to see what they have.

Shure Headphone Carrying Pouch drops to $6

The nice Shure Headphone Carrying Pouch, model HPACP1, is now down to $6 at Amazon.com by Amazon actual. Not to jinx it, but it’s not part of the Add-On program as of the time of writing, so if you are a Prime member, you can get just one of these and get free 2-day shipping. Non-Prime members have the usual $35+ free super saver shipping.

Limit 30 pouches per customer. This fits the various Shure studio and DJ headphones listed over there, and any other headphone with similar or smaller size. This is a soft pouch, so it won’t protect against rough treatment, but it can keep dust and coffee drops and such away. I’ve been using one for 2+ years and it’s holding up very very well. I will post a review on it once I go into a “writing spree”.
