2pk of Mudder Stick-On Headphone Hooks for $7

A 2-pack of the Mudder Stick-On Headphone Hooks is currently on sale for $7 by the seller, with the order eligible for Prime shipping benefits because it is fulfilled by Amazon. For that, you get two hooks and two stickers. Check the pictures and the dimensions to see whether you may find these more useful than general-purpose household hooks (eg there is a non-stickable 2-pack at Walgreens stores for $2.xx). There are only four reviews, three 5-stars and one 1-star for these, so perhaps these may be of interest to explorers and reviewers and risk-takers 🙂

SoundPEATS B10 Earbuds for $7

On the single-figure side of things, if you are a fan of angled earbuds (or perhaps shallow in-ears is a better categorization for them), the SoundPEATS B10 wired earbuds on sale for $7 per pair, in new condition, by the manufacturer, with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so it is eligible for free 2-day Prime shipping (even if you only buy one pair) or a with a $49+ order for non-Prime members. You can buy as many as you like (well, the limit is 30 but from a consumer perspective, it’s almost the same thing). These average a respectable for the price 4.4 out of 5 based on 200+ customer reviews.

Used Mook Headphone Book 2012 (CD journal Mook) for $14+ [ships from Japan]

Headphone magazines are a rarity, but if you are a fan of them, and you can read Japanese or just want to get them for the pictures (ha!), multiple Japanese sellers are offering the Headphone book 2012 (CD journal Mook) with prices starting at $14.41 shipped. All ship from Japan with low cost shipping (as default) so they will take a few weeks to get there unless you upgrade to faster shipping. There are many listings for these currently at Amazon Warehouse Deals. To be clear, this is in Japanese, not English!

As far as I can tell, they made an English-speaking version of these a couple of years ago, but I haven’t found a newer english version yet. I do have the one they published in English, it’s pretty good ~ it is on my bottomless list of things to review in the future 🙂

Star Wars SMS Audio On-Ears for $81+ (Second Edition)

In a very closed-back galaxy with most of the sound-stage evaporating in deep space, the second generation of the officially licensed SMS Audio Star Wars on-ears is dropping in price, you can get them as low as $81 fulfilled by Amazon. Check each individual item for the various seller options. No surprise there, but the more expensive of these are the Darth Vaders for $99 with free shipping from GoHastings.

Interesting ~ the First Editions are also bubbling around in a similar price range (around $90).
