If you are caught in the land between in-ears and classic earbuds [eg the VE Monk+], one option are the Bose earphones that are somewhere in between, and one of their previous generation models (before they switched to the Soundtrue line-up) are on sale for $56 with free shipping at A4C online when you use coupon code SEPTEMBER20 (limited time coupon code). This particular model is the Bose MIE2 with an Android/etc remote/mic, not the iOS 3-button.

[DEAD] Audeze LCD-2 (Aluminum or Bamboo) for $700
These two sales expired as well… Another Audeze LCD-2, this one at authorized dealer Adorama.com until 10/3/16 or earlier if sold out, it is two different options of the LCD-2 going for $700 with free shipping, the Aluminum option or the Bamboo option.
KEF M400 On-Ears for $200
Well-known audio companies have been slowly but steadily flocking to the “fashion headphones” segment of the market, which brings us to the KEF M400 On-Ears now down to $200 with free shipping in three of the four color-schemes available at amazon.com. These have only two reviews, and both complain about the jack acting up. They were posted in April/May 2016, so I don’t know if it got fixed or how many were impacted. #FidelioX2GlueGate2016

Sennheiser HD7 DJ for $90 w/free S&H after $15 MIR
For a limited time only, Adorama.com is offering the new condition closed-back Sennheiser HD7 DJ Headphones for $90 after a $15 mail-in rebate (MIR). Free shipping. They fold, they have detachable cables and earpads, and come with a carrying case. Even without the MIR, the price is pretty good.

FiiO Multifunction Dock (DK1) under $30
Fiio is learning how to play the game, accessories is one of the paths on the stairway to profits and they have a new one, the FiiO Multifunction Dock, model DK1, is currently in-stock and ready to ship for $25 plus $5 flat shipping from Tinbel thru Amazon. Tinbel is an authorized dealer, but this listing is not Prime eligible. If you are a Prime member, and you don’t need it immediately, you may want to wait for a Prime-eligible model.
If you want to optimize for a lower-price or you have Adorama gift certificates they are accepting pre-orders for $20 plus shipping. The lowest shipping price is around $7 (depending on zipcode).
This is compatible with four of their DAPs (first generation X1 and X7, second generation X3 and X5) along with the E17K. In addition to the prominent micro-USB charging prong on the front, the back of the device has an audio Line Out and a micro-USB Power Input. See picture #4 at Amazon’s. The headphone out of the Fiios is on top, so you can just pull it out of the dock and go.
This could be handy, I’m currently putting my Fiio DAP on one of those flexible phone holders when I’m using it on a desk. I can’t charge it with this thrifty setup because the microUSB port is sitting on the bottom part of the phone holder. The dock would also provide a sprawling kind of portable set-up using a portable power brick to power the dock charging the Fiio. I haven’t measured them but those 10,000+ mAh ones could power/recharge the Fiios many times over (they re-charge tablets and 6-inch phones multiple times on a single power brick charge).
Sennheiser Urbanite XL Wireless (BT) for $185
This looks like a price-match of sorts, the Sennheiser Urbanite XL Wireless (Bluetooth), in new condition, are currently going for $185 with free shipping at Target and Best Buy and Amazon by Amazon actual (limit 5) where they average 4.0 out of 5.0 based on nearly 150 customer reviews and with 70 questions peer-answered.
Judging by the new condition prices, it looks like the Momentums are doing better than the Urbanites?
PS: the lowest used priced at Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) start at $139~ in “Used – Good” by AWD actual.
