Beyerdynamic Custom Street On-Ear Headphones for $109 for Everyone [updated]

UPDATE 7/13/16 at 4:52pm ET: I don’t know if it’s a feature or a bug, but Amazon’s product pages are changing the default standard prices as prices drop, creating confusion. For example, the Custom Street were going for $150 yesterday, but now looking at the price at the product page you’d think that $111.38 is their normal price. I’ll monitor the situation to see if there’s a method to the madness or computers-gone-wild. The $149 in white is also offered by Amazon actual, so it’s not a case of different sellers having the featured spot. Here’s a screenshot right now versus the screenshot at the bottom of this post from Tuesday morning:

UPDATE 7/13/16 at 10:52am ET: We have one “survivor” from yesterday’s madness, it looks like the Prime Day deal put pressure on the regular price, so the Beyerdynamic Custom Street On-Ears in the black color scheme are going for $109 with free shipping for Everyone. The $99 Prime Day Deal expired. These started at $150 for non-Prime members early on Tuesday and kept dropping until they settled on $109…

The post below is the Prime Day adventure for …posterity?

[DEAD] Prime Day Headphone Deals Summary: Beyerdynamic DT880 PRO (250), Shure SE-215 with Gift Card, and Many More

Prime Day 2016 was a wild and fun adventure, but it’s over. If nothing else, it was good Larry Brown approved practice for Black Friday. There was one factoid about the headphones sales, the official Amazon twitter account tweeted this earlier in the day, during the Prime Day sales. And by earlier I mean the wee hours of the morning, 4:35am Amazon (pacific) time:

All the offers below expired…

The Amazon Warehouse Deals coupon also expired…

[DEAD] Sony MDRZX770BT Bluetooth Over/On-Ears for $48

The six hour deal window closed on this too… This is a lightning deal that is part of the Prime Deals and it ends by 3:15pm Eastern (or earlier if sold out), it is the Sony MDRZX770BT Bluetooth Over/On-Ears for $48 with free shipping for Prime members. It averages 4.1 out of 5 based on 139 customer reviews.

PS: when I say “Over/On-Ears”, it means I can’t quickly figure out if they are Over-Ear or On-Ear. It is total Prime madness today, so I only give it 3 nanoseconds 🙂

[DEAD] B&O PLAY Beoplay H7 Bluetooth Over-Ears for $299

This Prime offer expired too… Just like the Beyerdynamic Customs, this too is an “Add to Cart” type of deal. The price you see on the product page for the B&O PLAY by Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H7 bluetooth over-ears is $400+, but when you add them to the shopping cart, the price drops to $299. This offer is available on all three color schemes.

[DEAD] Brainwavz Hybrid Memory Foam Earpad Black PU/Velour for $15 [PRIME]

One of the many Brainwavz items participating in Prime Day 2016 (use your browser’s search feature to search for “Brainwavz” there to see them all scheduled) is the Brainwavz Hybrid Memory Foam Earpad Black PU/Velour offered for $15 with free shipping for Prime members. Offer ends 5:34pm ET or earlier if sold out. It is 28% claimed as of 12:49pm ET. Two more Brainwavz ear pads are going live at 6:29pm ET.

[DEAD] Recertified Bowers & Wilkins P5 On-Ears (white) with 2yr warranty for $99 [EVERYONE]

This offer expired too but the refried B&Ws with the 2year warranty are occasional visitors to Amazon’s lightning deals, so they’ll probably return in the future… This is not part of the Prime Day Deals, so everyone can buy it, it is the white/ivory color scheme of the closed-back on-ear Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones in recertified condition with a 2-year warranty (same as the new ones) for $99 with free shipping at Amazon. Limit five per customer.

[DEAD] AmoVee Acrylic Headphone Stand for $10.24

This expired as well…

Since I spotted the accessories pattern, now I have to follow it, in a quantum self-fulfilling prophecy kind of way 🙂 I’m not sure that sentence will make sense when I read it tomorrow morning but here’s the AmoVee Acrylic Headphone Stand going for $10.24 as part of the Prime Day festivities. This is good until 2:19am ET on Wednesday or earlier if sold out. The price before the sale was $12.80 last night when I did the schedule post.

There are five different designs on the same listing, so you have to check its filtered review list, which is the vast majority of the posted reviews.

[DEAD] Brainwavz Truss Metal Under Desk Dual Headphone Hanger for $11 [PRIME]

This deal met the hanger too… Perhaps there is a method to the madness of the Prime schedule, start the day with headphones, and then offer accessories for the just purchased headphones 🙂 About an hour ago, two Braiwavz earpads went live at $13 each, now we have the Brainwavz Truss Metal Under Desk Dual Headphone Hanger going for $11 for Prime members. The price before the sale was $16.50. It averages 4.8 out of 5 based on 130+ customer reviews. Offer ends by 1:30am ET on Wednesday.

[DEAD] Brainwavz HM5 Velor [sic] Memory Foams for $13; Non-Velour also $13 [PRIME]

This earpad duo of duos expired as well…

[DEAD] Sennheiser PC 350 Special Edition 2015 for $90 [PRIME]

This Prime deal ended too… Ooops, I missed this one earlier on, also part of the Prime Madness, presumably good until 3am ET on Wednesday, it is the new condition Sennheiser PC 350 Special Edition 2015 going for $90 with free shipping. The price shown on the page is $127, and with the sale in smaller font “Your price at checkout is $89.99”.

[DEAD] Phones as DAPs: ZTE Axon PRO for $279 [PRIME]

This offer expired but this phone-as-DAP is frequently discounted, so if you missed it, chances are more offers will come for it in the future… From the “Phones as DAPs” department, the unlocked no-contract ZTE Axon PRO (the PRO part in the name is important as the non-PRO version is not as good) is on sale for $279 with free shipping at Amazon.com for Prime members in another “Add to Cart” promotion. The price before you add it to the shopping cart is $330.

[DEAD] Sennheiser HD 218i On Ears for $15 [PRIME]

[DEAD] Shure SE-215 with $20 Gift Card for $99 [PRIME]

This six-hour time lord took this one too… One of the most famous perhaps headphones among the ones in the Prime Days schedule has a limited time offer that went live, it is the Shure SE-215 In-Ears in the Clear color-scheme bundled with a $20 Amazon Gift Card for $99 with free shipping. The typical price for the SE-215 without the gift card is $99 at authorized dealers in new condition. Offer ends by 3pm ET or earlier if sold out.
