15% off Coupon at Monoprice.com (but M560 Planars not eligible)

If you want to get a handful of cables and other accessories, or more capital-type purchases (they have all kinds of things now, not just cables), coupon code EARLYBF (BF = Black Friday, not Boy Friend) gets you 15% off at Monoprice.com until Sunday night (November 20).

Unfortunately their brand new M560 Planar-Magnetic Headphones are not eligible for the coupon even though they are in-stock and ready to ship. I just tried it to be certain, here’s a screenshot proof of that not working:

The coupon works on most everything else, including the Monoprice 11567 Desktop Headphone amp ($98.56 – 15% off = $83.78~).

Audio-Technica ATH-R70x for $283 [MD]

Another offer is now unlocked at Massdrop, the new condition open-back over-ear Audio-Technica ATH-R70x in their black color scheme are going for $275 plus $8~ flat shipping. They come with a 1-year warranty from Massdrop (not Audio Technica). They will ship in mid-December 2016, and the offer is running for the next eight days. Note that these are high impedance headphones, so make sure they fit your arsenal power-wise.

Amazon is not price-matching these, but some marketplace sellers at Amazon are bundling these with a variety of DACs/Amps and other accessories for $350. The DACs/Amps bundled with them are not necessarily ideal for these headphones, but if you have various headphones and music sources, then you can easily add the extra accessories to your rotation.
