TDK WR680 On-Ears (Bluetooth) for $20

We have a couple of back to back basic bluetooth on-ear headphones, think more utility than audiophility (new word, because as they say, language is a living thing), starting with a white-red color scheme of the TDK bluetooth WR680 On-Ears going for $20. These are sold by a marketplace seller (looks like they has 16 units available) with the order fulfilled by Amazon.

TIP: in situations like these, with one marketplace seller offering something in limited quantity, it likely means that these are available at only one Amazon Warehouse, so non-Prime shipping estimate will vary wildly depending on how close you are to the warehouse that has them. And “close” is a relative term, in terms of delivery times, not close as in distance in miles, because of the way the whole shipping delivery system is setup (hubs, airports, regional carriers, pricing, etc, etc).
