Earsonics Velvet IEMs for $533 [MD]

IEMs are multiplying like bunnies these days, it’s a fully time job keeping up with them. And this is happening across the board, it’s not just bandwagon consumer price-tier models. Which brings us to the Earsonics Velvet IEMs, currently fully unlocked at Massdrop for $520 plus $13~ flat shipping. This is an “all sales final” offer, and is running for the next eight days (from blog-posting date). They come with a 1-year warranty from MD and ship mid-to-late October 2016.

Their claim to fame is a tunable sound signature, a tool is included to switch between the three options. Or you can use your Jedi mind powers to change the position 🙂

Vsonic GR02 Bass Edition In-Ears for $25 [MD]

Another offer is now unlocked at the members-only shopping-club Massdrop, it is the Vsonic GR02 Bass Edition going for $22 plus $3~ flat shipping. It comes with many colorful eartips (an easy way to tell left from right as I discovered with the Monk Plus) and a basic pouch and a 1-year warranty from Massdrop (not the manufacturer). Considering the price, worrying about the warranty is probably not a big deal. The shipping estimate mid-to-late October 2016, and the offer is running for the next 8 days (from blog-posting date).

If you don’t want to wait that long, and you are a Prime member, you can get them for $30 from “Lend Me UR Ears” with the orders fulfilled by Amazon. “Lend Me UR Ears” is in Singapore, but “fulfilled by Amazon” means they sent a box of items to an Amazon USA warehouse and they get shipped with all the other shipped-by-Amazon items.

[DEAD] Thur: AudioQuest Dragonfly 1.2 USB DAC/Amp for $75

This daily deal expired, but the price after expiration is $80, not that far off… This was a daily deal in early September and it’s back now for Thursday, AudioQuest Dragonfly 1.2 USB DAC/Amp going for $75 with free shipping (or store pickup if available) instead of its new-usual price of $80. This is not the latest model. The V1.5 goes for $100 (regular price).

OOPS! I forgot the link, this is the Best Buy link.
