Creative Aurvana Live (closed over-ears) for $49

The closed over-ear Creative Aurvana Live headphones that had their share of recommendation list spotlight are currently discounted. As of the time of writing you can get them in new condition for $49.03 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual (some of the marketplace sellers have them for a few pennies less). This maybe be a price-match of Jet.com or vice versa. The headphones average 4.3 out of 5 based on 250+ customer reviews.

Used Tenqa FIT Bluetooth Earbuds (Exercise) for $9~

I did a lot of groundwork today to organize the way I track the various Amazon deals, and as a result of that, there’s a handful of potential deals that I have earmarked. I’ll have to go through them and prepare posts for the ones that survive price-checks (probably Sunday night), but in the mean time, I am posting some of the used items that have only one left, before they get scooped up.

The sporty Tenqa FIT Bluetooth Earbuds go for $69 in new condition, but as of the time of writing, there is one unit in what is described as “Used – Acceptable” condition for around $9 (nine dollars) by Amazon Warehouse Deals. There is no detailed description of its condition. The “acceptable” condition means higher risk. I don’t know if $9 was a price-typo or it is in really bad shape.

These average 3.1 out of 5 based on 150 customer reviews, so that’s another risk factor to consider. Since AWD is the actual seller, they are eligible for free 2-day shipping for Prime members. Thankfully they are not putting “Add On” restrictions on Used products [don’t give them any ideas!]

Used Schiit Audio Vali SCH-12 Hybrid Amp for $85 [one left]

Schiit Audio time, their Vali SCH-12 hybrid headphone amp is available in “Used – Very Good” condition (cosmetic imperfection, damaged original packaging) for around $85 by Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) by AWD actual, so it is eligible for Prime 2-day shipping. As far as I can tell, there is only one left of this. It averages 4.5 out of 5 based on 52 customer reviews.

PS: it may sell out by the time I check the blog again; unfortunately there is no way to automatically update the post if it sells out.

PS2: speaking of Schiit, the book chronicling the company’s story (383 pages, by Stoddard and Moffat) continues to sell for $5 in the Kindle version. The printed version goes at more typical book prices ($15~). The ebook has Text-to-Speech enabled and you can load it on unlimited devices simultaneously (some of the major book publishers place restrictions on how many devices one can download an e-book you purchased).
