[DEAD] AKG N60nc On-Ear ANCs for $150

This sale ended… A trio of recognizable sellers at Amazon (World Wide, HiDEF, Electronics Expo; all three Prime eligible) are offering the new condition AKG N60nc On-Ears active noise-cancelling headphones for $150 with free shipping. The ANC circuit is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery.

PS: on Saturday I will try to assemble a link of some of the “surviving” deals after the Friday-only specials expire, although I suspect a number of the offers will carry through until late Monday or Tuesday.

[DEAD] Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO (250 ohm) for $109

This sale ended… The $100 Beyerdynamic DT 7-8-9 club is getting closer to reality 🙂 The open-back DT990 PRO (250 ohm) is now down to $109 with free shipping, in new condition, at Amazon by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal, so the price is market-driven. It may be a computer-generated price-match of a marketplace seller who has it for $111, but that’s only a guess.

Audio Technica M50x + Fiio A1 + Slappa Case for $129

If you need all three, this is a great deal. You don’t have to use them all three together, some of these bundles are more useful when seen that way. That was a “cold open” to this Buydig eBay offer, the new condition Audio Technica M50X headphone in either black or white, is bundled with a Slappa case and the portable Fiio A1 headphone amp for $129 with free shipping, with a limit of five per buyer. If you need all three, this is a good deal. If you only need two or less, you could wait for future discounts ~ unless you need them all right away.

Massdrop x Fostex TH-X00 for $400

I may have exceeded my lifetime quota of “Fostex the people” jokes, but the Massdrop x Fostex TH-X00 is back on again at Massdrop going for $400 with free shipping with three days left in the offer (from Black Friday) with a reasonable early December 2016 shipment estimate. A total of 450 units are available, so theoretically it could sell out earlier.

V-Moda M100 with BoomPro Headset Mic for $187 with coupon

The previously mentioned Musician’s Friend coupon BLACKFRIDAY or CYBERMONDAY can get you the new condition V-Moda M100 Shadow with a free BoomPro headset mic for $187~ with free shipping.

The “Matte Black” color scheme goes for $13 less regular price compared to the “Shadow”, but the “Matte Black” is not in-stock (estimated shipping is 12/12/16), so their shopping cart does not allow the coupon discount on it.

Meanwhile the white silver is in-stock and about $5 more than the “Shadow” and it too gets the BoomPro mic.

The M100 is the wired closed-back over-ear, which got discounted after V-Moda released a bluetooth version of it. So you see, bluetooth is sometimes beneficial to audiophiles in a roundabout kind of way 🙂

PS: the BoomPro is not a leftover gift, it goes for $30 on its own and averages 4.4 out of 5 based on 680+ customer reviews.

[DEAD] Monoprice 15494 Portable USB DAC/amp for $50 w/free S&H

As of a 12/1/16 recheck, this is dead and gone, no longer available on their website… The Portable USB DAC/amp, model aka Product ID 15494 is on sale for $50 with free shipping at the Monoprice website as one of their Black Friday specials. Because it’s on sale and it gets free shipping too, it’s not eligible for the 20% off coupon code BF2016 (I just tried it, it doesn’t work on it).
