V-Moda Crossfade Wireless (Bluetooth) drops to $270

The V-Moda Crossfade M100 were replaced by the “Crossfade Wireless”, a bluetooth over-ear set that took over the mantle at the $300 price. We now have perhaps one of the very first discounts on the bluetooth/wireless model. You can get it for $270 instead of $300 in the Gunmetal Black color-scheme and for $280 in two other color options. The red is the only one not on sale. These are at Amazon, by Amazon actual, with a limit of three per color per customer. They average 4.6 out of 5 based on 150+ customer reviews. They also play music via a standard 3.5mm input, they not Bluetooth-exclusive. They promise 100% recharge in 100 minutes.

Used Shure SRH 144 Semi-Open On-Ears for $20

The Shure SRH 144 semi-open portable on-ears with a folding mechanism are currently available in “Used – Good” condition for $20~ [was $23~] by Amazon Warehouse Deals. There is only one listing with only one unit left, they are marked as “damaged original packaging”. They average 4.2 out of 5 based on 12 customer reviews.

Koss KPH7w lightweight on-ears for $4

The lightweight Koss KPH7 headphones are available in multiple colors, and at the moment, the white color scheme is on sale for $4 per pair, in new condition, and by Amazon itself. The only catch is that they are part of the Add-On program, so you need to place a $25+ total order (of any eligible items, not just these), otherwise the shopping will simply refuse to let you checkout. You can buy five pairs per color. The other colors are $5+. They average 3.9 out of 5 based on 600+ customer reviews.

Etymotic ER 20 earplugs for $13

It looks like Etymotic is price-matching a Massdrop offer, and without the hassle of dealing with Massdrop waiting and such, because the Etymotic store on Amazon, with the order fulfilled by Amazon (so Prime 2-day eligible) is offering their ER20 earplugs for $13 per set. These are available in different colors and configurations, so be sure to pay attention to the size and color options at Amazon, for example, this is the Standard Fit with Clear Stem and Blue Tip in clamshell and this is in polybag.

PS: if you are reading this at high speed, note that these are earplugs, not earbuds. They do not play music. They are intended for hearing protection, reducing outside noise before it gets to your ears.

Massdrop unlocked: Just Mobile Headstand (two colors) for $38 shipped

If you are a fan of proper headphone stands, and do not object to shopping from members-only Massdrop, their offer for the Just Mobile Headstand (available in black or silver) has reached its lowest price, $30 plus $8 flat shipping. You can select the color of your choice during the checkout process. The offer ends in about six days from blog-posting date (they don’t post an expiration date there, only “x days left”, that’s why I am describing the expiration date in this fashion since I don’t know the exact expiration date).
