As of a November 30, 2016 re-check, the majority of the deals mentioned below expired… The original post is after the break un-changed for historical reference (eg if you want to compare to future years or previous years)… I will post a separate post listing some of the remaining deals…

Grace Design x Massdrop m9XX DAC/Amp for $500 [MD]
Dave Matthews may think the Grace is Gone, but Massdrop shoppers think otherwise, because the Grace Design x Massdrop m9XX DAC/Amp is now fully unlocked for $500 with free shipping, in early-to-mid December 2016. The offer is running for the next four days (from blog-posting date). This is another one of the Massdrop Signature “x” products.
Beyerdynamic DT1770 PRO (250 ohm) for $417
Tesla 2.0 action now, the closed-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO (250 ohm) headphones are on sale for $416.50 at Amazon by Amazon actual along with Huppins/OneCall (fulfilled by Amazon). Also, a marketplace seller “Alto Music” offers them for a similar price when you add the $18 shipping fee to their price. These have their trade-offs so be sure to read negative reviews before buying.
Sennheiser HD 700 for $400 [MD]
If you can’t wait for future discounts, and if you don’t object to waiting until late December 2016 (or you assume you won’t be able to find a better deal by then), the open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD700 is now fully unlocked at members-only Massdrop for $400 with free shipping and a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Massdrop already launched an exclusive headphone with Sennheiser (the HD6xx), so one can assume it is safe to say that it’s safe to buy from them without worrying about warranty issues. The offer ends in about three days from Shop Small Saturday (today = 11/26/16).
The HD700 is between a rock and hard place strategically, squeezed now between the trio of HD6xx/HD600/HD650 and the duo of HD800/HD800S.
Klipsch S4i II In-Ears for $38 w/free S&H
Buydig is back yet again with another eBay featured promotion, it is the new condition Klipsch S4i II in-ears going for $38 with free shipping, with your choice of black or white, with a limit of five units per customer. They have a 3-button MFi remote.
PS: later today I will go through the posts and summarize what is still “alive” after Black Friday. I suspect some of the offers will continue until Cyber Monday, but I can’t tell for certain until I go through them.
Hifiman HM700 DAP + RE-400 In-Ears for $158
More price-checking surfaces a DAP + IEM combo, the HIFIMAN HM700 DAP bundled with the Hifiman RE-400 in-ears is now down to $158.40 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual. By default the HM700 is bundled with good old earbuds.
UPDATE: Oops, I forgot, the price is discounted because the RE-400* in-ears are discounted to $50~, so the combo is tracking the in-ears price. Side-effects of posting after midnight 🙂
