Sony MDR-1ADAC Headphones for $340 w/coupon [MF Rewards]
We continue highlighting some of the potentially interesting headphone sales using the Musician’s Friend Rewards member coupon code EXTRA15, this time it is the Sony MDR-1ADAC Headphones in either silver or black going for $400 before coupon. With the coupon, the price drops to $340. As the DAC in the name hints at, these have a built-in DAC. The shipping estimate for this is early July 2016.
This can be had for less if you don’t need to buy a new condition model with the Sony USA warranty. See next post for more.

15% off 71 Headphones at Musician’s Friend with Coupon [Rewards members only]
If you are a member of the Musician’s Friend rewards program (free and easy to join), they have an Early Access coupon code promotion, coupon EXTRA15 gets you 15% off nearly 12,000 items. When you drill down the PRO Audio categories, a total of 71 headphones are eligible for this promotion. I will go through them and price-check and post separate posts for any that stand out.
One unknown in this sale is that the Fostex T50RP Mark III Semi-Open Studio headphones are part of the promotion. They go for $160 before coupon. They also have a $50 mail-in rebate. Looking at the Mail-In Rebate Terms (see annotated screen-shot below), I am not sure whether the coupon would invalidate the rebate eligibility:
NOTE: I do not know when the coupon code expires…
