Rosewill RHTS-11002 wood (rosewood) earbuds for $8 w/free S&H
Today’s posts have a wide dynamic range in prices, from a $5 case to $4000 flagships, and now back to single-figures! It is the new condition Rosewill RHTS-11002 earbuds using rosewood material, on sale by Rosewill thru Amazon for $8 with free shipping for all. They ship directly from Rosewill, so they are not Prime eligible. This is almost half the price at NewEgg which is typically a Rosewill haven. Limit 30 per customer. They average 4 out of 5 based on 39 customer reviews.
Open-Box Hifiman HE400S Planars for $199
The Hifiman HE400S planars had resistance in the $220s in used condition at Amazon Warehouse Deals, but they have found a new bottom right now, you can get them in open-box used condition for $199 with free shipping by BuyDig on eBay and by Beach Camera through Amazon Warehouse Deals. BuyDig and Beach are the same company, so you have a choice of marketplace (eBay or Amazon).
Back In-Stock: Focal Utopia for $4000
I’ll do a refresh of the Headphone Tracker later tonight, but in the meantime, the Focal Utopia is back in-stock at its official price of $4000 by Gramofone thru Amazon. This ships directly from Gramofone, so it is not Prime eligible. It gets free slow shipping but considering the price, selecting the fastest shipping option for $more$ is the logical thing to do.
Sentey LS-7501 universal headphone case for $5.15
But wait, there’s more! In addition to the previously mentioned sub-$5 case, Sentey also have their LS-7501 universal headphone case on sale, this one goes for $5.15, sold by them with the order fulfilled by Amazon, with the usual limit of up to 30 per customer. As of the time of writing, this is NOT an Add-On item, so if you are a Prime member, you can buy just one and still get free shipping.
This averages 4.3 out of 5 based on 270+ customer reviews and has 80+ answered questions. Check the aforementioned along with the product description to see what fits and what doesn’t fit. This appears to have different dimensions from the previously mentioned model, and Sentey has one additional model that goes for around $7.
Speaking of Sentey, they have their own $7 in-ears with the uncommon feature of an interchangeable back that offers three different sound signature depending on which one of the three included backs you attach. Check the last picture in the gallery over there for more details. Along with the near 700 customer reviews and 35+ answered questions.
Sentey GS-1402 Universal Headphone Case drops to $5 (limit 30)
The Sentey GS-1402 Universal Headphone Case with a metal zipper, in its black with red accents color scheme is now down to $5, fulfilled by Amazon (Sentey is the seller of record) with a limit of 30 per customer. It averages 4.2 out of 5 based on 80 customer reviews and has about half that number in answered questions. Check the description and the two aforementioned places to see what headphones it might and might not fit.
There is one catch though, it is part of Amazon’s Add-On program, so you must have $25+ in your shopping cart in order to buy it. It wasn’t an Add-On item back when it was selling for $8. A lot of items move to “Add On” status when they get to $5 or less; but not all of them and not all the time. Amazon works in mysterious ways 🙂

Bose Soundsport In-Ears for $40 w/free S&H
The new condition Bose Soundsport In-Ears/Earbuds hybrid is on sale for $40 with free shipping through the Best Buy website as one of their early Black Friday deals. These use earhooks to stay on your ears while a speaker protrusion goes inside your ear but does not create a seal. I don’t know if there’s a formal name for this, basically they prioritize for comfort for people who don’t like in-ears.
Speaking of the Best Buy early sale, they offer the new condition Roku 3 for $50 with free shipping. Roku has many models now, so be sure to compare if you are not intimately familiar. Of audio interest, most of the recent models don’t have a dedicated audio output, but they come with a remote control with a headphone out. Note however that the headphone port may be a close call with some 3.5mm plugs, here’s a picture of it with the VE Monks (from VE Monks review diary). Note also that some may require an active HDMI connection to pipe out audio, so if you need them to play music without having a TV on, check the A/V forums and reviews.
Coming Up: Black Friday Ads digest
In the next couple of days I will begin diving into the published and leaked Black Friday ads looking for headphone-related offers. I will create a new perma-post that will keep getting updated as I discover more. Off the top of my head, there are going to be free after Plenti Rewards Philips earbuds at Rite Aid stores. These should be an easy and comfortable get, since most of the Black Friday brick and mortar crazy traffic is near malls and big superstores like Best Buy and Costco and Tarjay and such.
