No news of a Jaybird X3 release, but in the meantime four of the six color schemes of the Jaybird X2 Sport Bluetooth Earphones are on sale, in new condition, for $80 per pair, at Amazon by Amazon actual. As usual, convenience and special features (eg exercise) are the raisons d^etre of these earphones so obviously for the same price, you can get plain wired in-ears that perform better audiophile-wise. These average 3.4 out of 5 based on 4000+ customer reviews and have 540+ answered questions.

Colorfly C3 DAP for $50 [MD]
The “DAP undercurrent resurgence” (sounds like a good name for an essay post!) is not just happening at the high-end. Even the sub-$50 market is getting fresh DAPs, perhaps in the mini void left after Sandisk lost interest in preserving the “magic” of the Clip+.
To cut a long story short, good for the next eight days is the Colorfly C3 digital audio player going for $47 plus $3~ flat shipping at members-only Massdrop. This plays up to FLAC and WAV and has 8GB on-board storage but fear not, it also takes microSD cards up to 64GB. With card prices continuing to drop, this is thrifty way to go.
No warranty information is mentioned in the listing. Shipping estimate is mid-November 2016.
