We have a mini “eBay Trilogy”, starting with the Best Buy eBay store offering the new condition Sony MDR-EX15-AP Earbuds in the black color scheme for $6 with free shipping or free store pickup (where possible). Limit three per buyer. They forgot to put “Sony” in the listing title so it’s probably flying under the radar.

Refurbished Bohm ANC Bluetooth On-Ears for $38 w/free S&H
They are back in-stock in the black/silver color scheme, on the fashionable bluetooth/ANC front, if you are comfortable with manufacturer refurbished items, the black/silver color scheme of the Bohm Bluetooth and Active Noise Cancelling on-ear headphones are on sale for $38 with free shipping by A4C on eBay. Both Bluetooth and ANC are utilitarian features, so these types of headphones are best used in situations where Bluetooth and/or ANC is necessary/needed. Over 1400 units got sold so far from this particular offer per the statistics shown on the eBay listing over there.
If you buy two or more of these (or other participating items from the A4C eBay store), for a limited time, they have a 5% discount on the whole purchase. 5% off in this case drops it to $36 per headphone.

LG giving free B&O Play H3 In-Ears with select V20 purchases
In a press release that came out yesterday, T-Mobile says that if you purchase the LG V20 from them, you will be able to get a free pair of B&O Play H3 In-Ears from LG. The H3s are NOT included in the box by T-Mobile. The press release points to the LG V20 website for redemption details. You may have to to register the phone to get it. The exact details of the redemption are not known since the phone is not even out yet.
Another unknown is whether you get the first-generation H3s or the second generation. The list price for both is $150, so price alone can’t tell.
If you are only interested in the H3, a marketplace seller at amazon.com (Prime eligible) was able to snag the H3s that were part of the LG G5 launch promotion and is selling them for $100 in new condition. There are no reviews to this listing, so this is for the boldly-going 🙂 These are presumably the first generation?
Having said all that, the price of the LG V20 is still up in the air. T-Mobile did not reveal a price, but AT&T lists it for $830. It is also offered through the installment plans that bandaid (verb) the initial sticker shock, but the price is still the same (30 months of $27.67 per month). It is also eligible for “Next” and Trade-In promotions (the H3 appear to be in the Trade-In promotion).
Verizon’s press release says they will carry it but it’s NOT on their website yet. Sprint has it on their website with a “Coming Soon” but no price or order details yet.
The V20 is generating some headphone-related interest/hype, Quad-DAC and all. Here’s one post by Android Authority talking V20 audio, and many and more posts and forum threads across the interwebs.
Monoprice Bluetooth On-Ears #11947 for $20 w/free S&H
Free shipping is a rarity at Monoprice.com, especially for lower priced items, but one of their latest weekend specials is the Monoprice Bluetooth On-Ears Model 11947 in a yellow-black color-scheme (popular with bees) going for $20 with free shipping with a limit of 10 per customer. It averages around 69% based on 150+ customer reviews. It is folding and comes with a basic drawstring pouch. As far as I can tell from the picture, it does NOT have a 3.5mm audio input, it is Bluetooth-only.
Meanwhile their weekend coupons are here, SPICE gets you $20 off an order of over $100, and PUMPKIN gets you $5 off an order of $25+. The coupons end Saturday 10/8/16 night. Of coupon interest (among the many other audio-related things they carry):
+ Monoprice Desktop Headphone Amp, Product ID 11567, plus filler item (eg 3.5mm mobile cable) to get the total slightly over $100 and use the coupon, dropping the price to $80~
+ Monoprice Stereo Hybrid Tube Amp with Bluetooth, product ID 13194, for $130
+ Portable USB DAC/amp, model aka Product ID 15494 for $55 after coupon
+ but if your order total is $100+, you can use the $20 off coupon, bringing the price further down
