we find good deals for you!
The Sony MDR-S70AP foldable on-ears, in the white-brown color scheme, are currently going for $20 by a marketplace seller with the order fulfilled by Amazon so they are Prime eligible. Not a lot of information is available on these. They might be a Japan-only product that found its way to an Amazon warehouse.
PS: the earpads remind me of the “telephone receiver” style, eg in Shure SRH 144/145.
In a parallel promotion to the On-Ears, the official Onkyo Amazon store is offering the new condition IE-FC300 In-Ears for $30 with free shipping in the violet, white or red color schemes. Meanwhile the IE-HF300 goes for $50 in the black/silver.
While the previous Onkyo post was on the bang-for-the-buck side of things, this one is at the other end of the spectrum, it is the fandom premium! For fans of Iron Maiden, the official licensed Iron Maiden ED-PH0N3S On-Ears are back in-stock and ready to ship for the fandom-premium price of $299 with free shipping by Onkyo through Amazon.
The listing says this was co-developed with Steve Harris, with 200+ development days, and 20+ Onkyo engineers and things like that.
Onkyo has their own Amazon Storefront and there, among the 36 items currently offered (not just headphones), they have their ES-FC300 on a (clearance?) sale. These are new condition. The white FC300 and the violet FC300 go for $40 per pair.
As of 7/7/16 recheck, these ones sold-out: Meanwhile the Onkyo ES-HF300 On-Ears in the black/silver color scheme go for $50.
Shipping is free, from Onkyo, so it’s not eligible for Prime. Check the other Audio items at their Amazon Storefront for potential deals.
On the budget side of bluetooth on-ears with a 3.5mm audio input, the new condition Tenba Remxd in either black or white are on sale for $21 by the maker, with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so it has the usual free shipping terms. They average 3.9 out of 5 based on 375+ customer reviews and have 39 questions peer-answered. Volume is a scroll wheel, not up and down buttons.
The Westone UM Pro30 in-ears go for $400 at authorized dealers, but if you are comfortable with open-box, you can get them for $300 in “Used – Like New” Open-box condition from authorized dealer OneCall through Amazon Warehouse Deals and the OneCall eBay store (two units available).
The new condition Beyerdynamic A20 Headphone Amplifier is currently on sale for $450 with free shipping and a limit of five units per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual and a few marketplace sellers. It looks like it could be a computer-generated price-match. The amp averages 4.8 out of 5 based on 14 customer reviews and has 13 questions peer-answered.
PS: today’s posts are a mix of used and new condition items. I try to mention “new condition” in the blog-post to make sure it’s not confusing. Used, Open Box and Refurbished items mention that in both the post and the post title. This is a side-effect of doing online shopping immersions. You jump from one thing to another, and if there are discounts and sales, all kinds of random things surface 🙂
UPDATE: As Allan pointed out in the comments, Amazon’s regular price is $456. This may be an error on the Amazon website or may be the amp’s price went up lifting all other prices? As of 8pm ET, it goes for $450 by Amazon actual and some marketplace sellers there, $500 at some authorized dealers (Sonix, Focus, Zorro, Adorama) and $600 at others (OneCall, Beyerdynamic USA own store).
If you are looking to get the previous generation Klipsch in-ears in new condition from an authorized dealer, the Klipsch IMAGE S4 II In-Ears are offered for $50 with free shipping with a limit of five units per customer by BuyDig’s eBay store. This is eBay’s so-called Mystery Deal of the Day.
Another area of contention among today’s “digital headphones” is the combination of Bluetooth and ANC, and one of those, the Definitive Technology Symphony 1 is available for $260 in “Used – Like New” condition by a couple of recognizable sellers through Amazon Warehouse Deals. One of the two, OneCall, is also offering the same item through their eBay store. These headphones average 4.1 out of 5 based on 43 customer reviews at Amazon.
The Beyerdynamic PRO 1770 closed-back Studio headphones currently go for $600 in new condition at authorized dealers (be VERY VERY VERY careful when you see iffy listings offering them for $300), but if you want to save some, you can get them in used condition starting at “Used – Good” for $417 and “Used – Very Good” for $444~ at Amazon Warehouse Deals. There are many listings of “Very Good” so there’s a reasonable chance of supply putting pressure on future prices.
Further down the page you can also find “Used – Like New” open-box options by authorized dealers (Electronics Expo, OneCall) starting at $460. The two listings from OneCall are also available through their eBay store.
