Sennheiser CX Earbud Grab Bag for $29 shipped

If you are interested in the Sennheiser CX series earbuds, members-only Massdrop has another “grab bag” promotion. You pay $25 plus $4 flat shipping, and for that you receive one pair that is either the CX 1.00 (60% of the people), or one of the more expensive models (2.00 or 5.00). Randomness decides what you get, but in the worst case scenario, you get the CX 1.00. Limit two per customer during this sale which ends in about five days (from blog-posting date).

In addition to that, they have some bonus items that will be randomly won by buyers. The more units get purchased, the more bonus items get unlocked. These appear to be gear from other recent or on-going drops (TH-X00, DACport Slim, etc). The chances of getting one of these are fairly low.

These purchases will ship late April 2016, so keep that in mind if you need them to get here yesterday 🙂

Used Koss UR 40 Over-Ears for $25

The over-ear Koss UR 40 headphones, which Koss describes as “hybrid closed/open”, are available in “Used – Very Good” condition (minor cosmetic imperfections, damaged packaging) for $25~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD). The free shipping terms are the same as the Amazon mothership for items that are sold by Amazon/AWD or fulfilled by AWD. Items that ship directly from marketplace sellers have their own shipping prices and options. They average 4.3 out of 5 based on 200+ customer reviews. I haven’t used these, but as you can see in the pictures, there is plenty of open-ness with those speaker grills.

[DEAD] Audio Technica M40x drops to $65

This limited time sale expired… The Audio Technica M40x closed-back over-ears are slowly bubbling upwards, as the M50x is slowly discovering that hype is a double-edged sword. Which brings us to a limited time sale on the M40x, currently going for $65 with free shipping with a limit of one per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal, so I don’t know when the sale ends. This headphone averages 4.6 out of 5 based on 700+ customer reviews.
