Fiio HS8 Silicone Case for X5 (1st Generation) for $5

If you happen to have the Fiio X5 (first generation) music player and you want the blue official Fiio silicon case/wrapper for it, it is currently available for $5 in new condition by a marketplace seller with the order fulfilled by Amazon. It is not an Add-On item, so you get free 2-day shipping even if you only buy this blue case.

NOTE: the main picture there shows five different cases. You only get one blue case.

PS: this case is only for the first generation X5, not the second generation.

Monoprice Headphone sale (23 options, $0.50 to $60)

The Monoprice store is having a headphone sale good until 9/16/16, featuring 12 over/on-ear headphones, seven earphones (I am filing the neckband thing under earphones), and four silicone eartip bundles. Prices range from $0.50 to $60. Shipping is extra unless a particular item is participating in a free shipping promotion.

DZAT DF-10 Wood IEMs for $23 shipped [MD]

Wood definitely has its fans with both earphones and headphones, which brings us to this newly unlocked offer at members-only Massdrop, it is the DZAT DF-10 Wood IEMs going for $16 plus $7 flat shipping. You have two wood choices at checkout (pictures of both are shown over there). The offer runs for the next seven days (from blog-posting date), and these will ship mid-October 2016.

One unusual accessory included (although perhaps not so considering the “writing” fandom at Massdrop) is that they come with a nature-themed notebook and pen as well, in addition to different eartip sizes and a pouch. You can always make the notebook and pen “on topic” by using them to record headphone-related notes or music-listening notes or headphone audition notes 🙂

PS: no musical pun intended on “notes” 🙂
