Star Wars SMS Audio On-Ears for $50 (1st and 2nd generation)
In a Galaxy of Hype not so far away, both the first generation and the second generation of the officially licensed Star Wars Closed On-Ear headphones by SMS Audio are on sale for $50 per pair by marketplace sellers with the orders fulfilled by Amazon. This includes models for Darth Vader, Chewbacca, R2D2, Storm Trooper, Boba Fett, Tie Fighter, and of course the real hero of Star Wars, the Galactic Empire 🙂
PS: these are new condition.
Audio-Technica ATH-M70x for $218 [limit 3]
The closed-back over-ear Audio-Technica ATH-M70x headphones are currently on sale for $218 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of three per customer. This may be an automated/computer price-match of a marketseller price over there, so it may not last long.
TIP: when shopping at Amazon, always check who the seller of an item is. The higher the price, the bigger the risk if buying something from an unknown or unvetted marketplace seller. This is a screenshot of the above item with Amazon actual being the seller. Pay attention to the center of the red markings of the screenshot below:
AudioQuest Dragonfly 1.2 USB DAC for $80
The color-changing AudioQuest Dragonfly 1.2 USB DAC is on sale for $80 with free shipping or free store pickup (if applicable) at Best Buy’s website. Purchasing this also activates an offer for 22% off your first purchase at HD Tracks.
Beats Solo 2 On-Ears Black for $80 [limit 3]
NOTE: this offer is for Prime members only…
The Helen of Troy of 2015 in the online audiophile world, the Beats that went to the IF Hall of Fame and created existential crises all across the internets are on sale again (the closed-back on-ear Solo 2), in new condition for $80 with free shipping, in the black color scheme, with a limit of three per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual where they average 4.1 out of 5 based on 2460+ customer reviews.
Being Beats it’s interesting that their negatives are high, 15% of the reviews are 1-stars, despite the 4.1 rating. Only 5-stars have more votes. So lots of polarization, 78% of the ratings are either 1 or 5.
Price-Check Comply Massdrop, Better Prices for Prime members on some models
Massdrop has a new offer, fully unlocked, on Comply foam tips that go for $13 plus $2.75 flat shipping. They offer a variety of models (see listing or add to shopping cart to see the options over there).
However, if you are a Prime member (or plan a $49+ Amazon order), some models individually can be had for less at Amazon, the ones shipped or fulfilled by Amazon. For example, the 3pk T500 Medium Black for $12~ [limit 5], or the 3pk S-400 Active charcoal for $11.53 [limit 12]. Charcoal is the color, they are NOT made of charcoal 🙂
Others have the same price, but if you can get free Prime shipping, you avoid the MD shipping fee, eg the 3pk T-400 Blue go for $13 at both places.
There are many model and color combinations, I can’t check them all here.
XDuoo X3 Digital Audio Player for $104 [MD]
This is one of the cases where buying from Massdrop can be a big plus, because I haven’t been able to find this selling from a USA retailer and not shipping from China. So if you are interested in the XDuoo X3 Digital Audio Player, you can get it for $100 plus $4~ flat shipping from Massdrop. Three color options are available for this DAP that has two microSD slots (up to 128GB each). Offer ends in eight days from today and ships June 30 (2016) which is pretty reasonable.
This critter can also support Rockbox (see giant thread on the topic; the usual caveats apply when trying 3rd-party software). This has a different button/design philosophy than the Fiio DAPs, so if you don’t like their approach, this might be an alternative.
With storage prices dropping, you can easily get name-brand 128GB microSD cards for $30 without even waiting for a sale, or you can get 64GB cards for $15 or less.
