5pk of Cosmos Gray Headphone Pouches for $10.50 total [updated]
As of 7/1/16, the prices increased by $1 for each option…
ORIGINAL: If you need multiple basic headphone pouches with drawstring and don’t want to pay the $5 for the previously mentioned Shure, there’s another budget option at Amazon. You get this 5-pack of Cosmos brand pouches for $10.50 $9.50 total. These are roughly 10.75″x 8.5″ in height and width. They have six pictures of them over there. As you can tell from the pictures, this a gray type of a color.
They also have the 5-pack in black (same dimensions) for $12 $11. These have 70+ customer reviews with a 4.6 out of 5. I bought these for review purposes, but I haven’t even taken them out of their …bag yet *sigh* 🙂
Both options are fulfilled by Amazon, so you get free shipping if you are a Prime member or with the usual $49+ threshold for non-members.
[DEAD] Used Fiio K5 Headphone Amp with Docking Station for $89
As of 7/26/16 recheck, the used prices start at $110+…
Shure HPACP1 Headphone Carrying Pouch for $5 [not Add-On now]
Good news and bad news. The bad news is that the price is slightly higher since we last mentioned it. The good news is that it has been liberated from the Add-On Program, so if you only want to get this and nothing else, and you are a Prime member, you get it and with free shipping and no other purchase necessary.
This refers to the Shure HPACP1 Headphone Carrying Pouch. It has a limit of 30 per customer. This is an item flying under the radar, it’s hard to find by searching at Amazon for some reason. I’ve been using it for many years and it’s pretty solid. It’s on my list of things to review.
It is made to fit Shure’s closed over-ears line-up of 840/440/240 and 750/550 DJ, so headphones of that ballpark size should fit.
It should go without saying that this won’t protect from impact, but from scratches, dust, dirt, liquids (if they avoid the bag’s opening), and such.
Brainwavz IEM Grab Bag for $22 shipped [MD]
If you are an adventurous spirit that enjoys participating in wild games of “Grab Bag”, Massdrop is back with another Brainwawz IEM grab bag promotion (they call it “blue box”). You pay $20 plus $2 flat shipping and you are guaranteed to receive one pair of IEMs from six different models. Your choice is determined randomly. Half of the participants [participators sounds more scifi though] will get the Jive, while the rest will be split between five different models.
This offer is limit two units per customer with a maximum of 1000 units available as part of this pearly-dew-drop drop. In addition to that, they have five prizes that unlock depending on how many units are sold. The “prizes” include a trio of AKG headphones and the biggest prize is the Fostex TH-X00. So five out of 1000 units, that’s 0.5% chance of winning per unit purchased. (NOTE: this is a ballpark number, the actual calculation is a lot more complicated because you have to factor in how many units one person bought, and which ones of the offers unlock).
