Beyerdynamic T5p (2nd Gen) and Fiio E12 amp and 64GB microSD for $999

Headphone bundles are expanding in creative ways these days, now with memory cards too 🙂 The second generation of the Beyerdynamic T5p Tesla headphones are bundled with the FiiO E12 Mont Blanc Portable Headphone Amplifier and a 64GB Lexar microSDXC memory card, all together going for $999 with free shipping by Beach Camera thru Amazon.

This ships from Beach Camera’s facilities, but thanks to a recent expansion of the Prime program, Prime members still get free 2-day shipping on this particular offer, even if it doesn’t ship from an Amazon facility. You can tell this by looking at the details in the product page, highlighted in the screenshot below:

PS: if you are puzzled as to where to put the memory card, well, it won’t go into the headphones and it won’t go into the Fiio amp, but it can go anywhere microSD* cards are accepted 🙂

PS2: if you are not interested in the Fiio amp, an alternative is to get the headphones only (no Fiio, no Lexar) in Open Box condition from authorized dealers with full warranty, currently going for $888 at Amazon Warehouse Deals from either OneCall (West Coast) or Electronics Expo (East Coast).

PS3: you only see the “Prime” logo/option if you are a Prime members logged on to a Prime account.

PS: this is the mobile version, thus the “m”. Not to be confused with the DX350p which is the portable version, thus the “p”. At least they didn’t call it HD25-1ii Iiim Iip 😉

It takes USB Audio and has two 1/8″ physical outputs, digital and headphone-out. Its list price was $99 from what I recall, but somehow the Amazon listing switched it to $53~.
