Beyerdynamic DT1350 On-Ears for $120

As I was price-checking some of the older recap posts, one Black Friday era promotion is back, the closed-back on-ear Beyerdynamic DT1350 with straight cable are going for $120 with free shipping at adorama.com. No coupon, no rebate, this is a sale price at the moment. I do not know when it expires.

Used Sony MDR-7502 for $24 + S&H [corrected]

And now something used, the Sony MDR-7502 closed-back on-ears are available in “Used – Demo” condition for $24 plus shipping at Adorama.com which is an authorized dealer. Shipping is additional and starts at $3.75 and varies by zipcode.

PS: correction, the post-title had a typo, “7520” instead of “7502”. The post-text was correct. Normally a typo doesn’t make a big difference, but in this case, the 7520 is also an actual headphone that costs an order of magnitude more than the 7502, matching the 20 vs 2 🙂

VE Monks Plus Earbuds (all blue) for $8 [MD]

They are back! $8 is the ticket for this thrifty hype train! Massdrop is back with an all-blue color scheme of the VE Monks Plus earbuds. They go for $5 plus $3 flat shipping. These are true earbuds, but that’s not all. You have an option to get a model with mic/remote for $5 more (iOS or Android options), and they also have another +$5 option that gets you an accessory pack.

The offer is running for the next seven days from blog posting date (New Year’s Day) and will ship late January 2017.

I don’t have this all-blue model, but I have the red, here’s the useful text and pictures unboxing and an on-going slow-moving review diary.

This is what was included with the red color scheme:
