The usual coupon restrictions apply. The coupon expires on 1/31/17. So you can make your own deal, particularly of interest if you find any headphones that are not frequently discounted or have uniform prices everywhere you look.

Sennheiser RS120 RF Wireless system for $55 [limit 3]

If you are looking for an RF wireless headphone system, the new condition Sennheiser RS 120 is on sale again for $55 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of three per customer. You get the base/transmitter and one headset. The headset only works with the transmitter, you can’t use it a normal headphone. They come with rechargeable battery packs but you can also use your own AA and AAA batteries. A couple of potential issues with these is they are quick to drop the connection on silence, and the power cable connection is not user-friendly. This is good old RF wireless, not Kleer technology which is found on the more expensive model of this line.

MF Coupons: 17% off orders of $99+, or 10% off Open Box

Musician’s Friend launched a couple of new coupons that cover a variety of their products. Many of their headphones live under the “Pro Audio” category. I will price-check various models later on on a time-permitting basis, but in the meantime, here are the coupons:

Still Good: Hifiman Edition S Open/Closed On-Ears (white) for $150

One the few now surviving Black Friday deals is the white color scheme of the Hifiman Edition S “Open/Closed Back” Dynamic On-Ear headphones continuing to go for $150 by a handful of known marketplace sellers (Kraft, Hifi Heaven, AudioLAB & Advisor, etc) at amazon.com, a couple of which are Prime eligible… The black color scheme goes for $250… The open/closed happens by removing the outer earcup cover. So technically if one buys both colors, they could interchange the earcup covers and have two variations of black-and-white headphones 🙂

Also continuing at its Black Friday price of $49~ are the Hifiman RE 400 in-ears. These are wired and unbuttoned. The ones with the Android and iOS buttons are no longer on sale.

In-Stock Now: Beats EP Closed On-Ears for $100 (four colors)

The wireless Beats Solo 3 with its “magical” iOS features got most of the attention of the new Beats releases, but their more budget on-ear headphone is now in-stock and on sale, the closed-back on-ear and wired-only Beats EP (it doesn’t even get the Solo name) is on sale and in-stock for $100 Amazon by Amazon actual in four different color schemes with a limit of up to three per color per customer.

This has been added to the Headphone Tracker.

PS: there is a bit of a musical irony to the name, the “Solo” sort of hints of a single and is more expensive than the “EP”, which hints at more tracks 🙂 #BadAnalogies
