Brainwavz Headphone Hangers: Hengja for $12, Truss for $13

In addition to the earpads a couple of Brainwavz headphone hangers are on sale. Their Hengja goes for $12 each, while the Truss (you can hang two of them) goes for $13.

Or if you want to optimize for a lower price, there is a variety of alternatives at Amazon.

Brainwavz Velor and Memory Foam Earpads for $16.50 each [updated]

Earpad hoarding time? A number of Brainwaz earpads are on sale at Amazon, sold by Brainwavz’s own store but Prime eligible (fulfilled by Amazon). They are not part of the lightning deals. Among the participating products:

Harman Kardon SOHOa On Ear Mini for $36

A couple of Prime-eligible marketplace sellers are currently offering the new condition Harman Kardon SOHOa On Ear Mini for $36 per pair with the orders fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon’s own price is $108. A slim-line carrying case and two cables are included, so you have accessories to play with right there even if the headphones fail 🙂

Make Your Own Deals: 15% off Target site-wide, $25/$100+ BB w/VISA Checkout

You can also make your own deals with a couple of general purpose deals available. At BestBuy.com, if you pay with VISA Checkout, you get a $25 off discount on an order of $100 or more. The offer expires by 12/25/16.

Meanwhile both Target stores and the Target website have a 15% off almost everything on their website. The terms and condition state specifically that Bose and Sonos are among the excluded items.

Phones as DAPs: LG V20 with JBL E40BT Bluetooth On-Ears and 7″ LG tablet and Power Bank for $800

Another new deal that emerged since the previous update of the Headphone Tracker (notable changes there are marked in BOLD) is that the LG V20 freebie train is getting more wagons if you are willing to buy it unlocked and not from carriers. Its price from authorized with USA warranty dealers is $800. If you buy it from B&H Photo you will receive three freebies:

  • JBL E40BT bluetooth on-ear headphones (choice of black or white color scheme)
  • 7-inch LG tablet – the 8GB G Pad (Black)
  • 10500 mah ASUS power bank

All useful freebies in their own right, which means you can also use them as Holiday gifts 🙂

This is the North American variant of the phone (model US996), with carrier flexibility and USA warranty. 64GB of on-board storage plus a microSD slot and removable battery, along with “Quad DAC”, Nougat out of the box, and things of that nature.

Massdrop x AKG K7XX Red Edition for $200

If you missed it during its previous offerings, it is back, and with five days to go, the open-back over-ear Massdrop x AKG K7XX Red Edition is live again at the members-only retailer for its standard price of $200 with free shipping. Per the description, each unit is individually serialized, and this particular offer has a maximum of 1500 units. Only about 100 have been sold as of the time of writing, so you don’t have to rush if you are 50-50 on it. Shipping estimate is early-to-mid December 2017. Since it is in partnership with AKG, you get a 2-year AKG warranty.

PS: in case you missed the news, Harman (which owns AKG) was purchased by none other than Samsung, who is paying cold hard cash (probably not in trash bags though) for Harman. Samsung’s main interest in Harman is their automotive-related business, so fear not, a “Galaxy K702 Mega Edge Plus” is not coming out any time soon 🙂

[DEAD] Ends Tue 3am ET: $10 off purchases of $25+ in print books

This promotion expired…

I kept forgetting to post this, but it’s better late than never I guess. Sound and audio books are not discounted as frequently as other books, which makes this a good opportunity, coupon code HOLIDAYBOOK gets you $10 off purchases (not rentals) of $25 or more in new condition printed books sold by Amazon actual. Books sold by marketplace sellers or “fulfilled by Amazon” are not eligible. Amazon proper must be the seller. The offer expires at 3am eastern on Tuesday 11/29/16 [updated]. The coupon works on all books, not just sound/audio books.
