Massdrop Brainwavz IEM grab bag for $25 w/FS

If you like the randomness of “grab bag” style offers, members-only Massdrop is running one for Brainwavz IEMs for $25 with free shipping. For that, you will receive (randomly chosen by fate) one out of five possible IEMs: the S0, or S1, or S5, or M100 or ProAlpha. Each customer can buy one or two grab bags. The offer has 760 units available during this run, which continues for the next seven days (or earlier if the quantity is depleted). They will ship mid-January 2017.

They have 12 “prizes” that keep unlocking as more units get purchased. Up to twelve people will receive the more expensive “prize” instead of “one of the five”. Most of the prizes are the Brainwaz B150 earphones, but there is also one Hifiman HE-350, an AKG K7xx, and a Fostex The People TH-x00 Mahogany. The last three being over/on-ears, not earphones.

Sennheiser HD 598 CS down to $100

Another headphone returning to Black Friday pricing is the new condition closed-back over-er Sennheiser HD 598 CS going for $100 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three per customer… Also pay attention to the used prices, as the $100 new-condition sale may squeeze them temporarily further down as well… They average 4.2 out of 5 based on 220+ customer reviews so far, and the recurring sales will likely lead to both more customer reviews and more used options since consumer-returns are inevitable (unless something is a very limited availability or “magical” product)…

Refurbished Sony MDR-1000X BT/ANC for $300

It didn’t take Secondipity long to come up with “certified refurbished” Sony MDR-1000X, they are currently going for $300 with free shipping, sold by Secondipity thru Amazon. They ship directly from Secondipity and they are not Prime-eligible.

“Certified Refurbished” as used by Amazon in their own such-branded listings means that the products get a minimum of a 90-day warranty. It doesn’t mean that they are (or are not) manufacturer refurbished. In this particular case, the product description states specifically they are manufacturer refurbished, but Amazon’s own “certified refurbished” tag means (in their own words): “This Certified Refurbished product is tested and certified by the manufacturer or by a third-party refurbisher… Only select sellers who maintain a high performance bar may offer Certified Refurbished products on Amazon…”.
