The JLab Epic 2 bluetooth earphones are on sale at the moment in all three color schemes, in new condition, for $80 with free shipping by JLab with the orders fulfilled by Amazon (Prime eligible).

Back In-Stock: Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 SE

I just checked-upon some of the upcoming and out-of-stock headphones in our newly-updated Headphone Tracker, now with CES 2017 headphones added, and it looks like we have one model that is back in-stock, it is the Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 SE (SE = Special Edition) going for $250 with free shipping. This is competing in the “BT + ANC Over-Ear” segment that has been received renewed focus from many manufacturers.

Heads Up (Tuesday 9am ET): Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X Gaming Headset for $120

The Massdrop-Sennheiser ship (okay, this is not a TV show, relationship) has a new product. Going live for the first time on Tuesday 1/17/17 at 9am Eastern time is a brand new gaming headset, the “Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X” which is based on Sennheiser’s existing PC 373D model.

The Massdrop model’s price will be $120, while the current price of the existing PC 373D is twice that, so while it may not be HD-6XX levels of crazy, it may get busy and bumpy.

NOTE that the shipping estimate is mid-March 2017, that’s two months away. Since this is a collaboration with Sennheiser, you get the 2-year warranty, with Senn’s blessings.

Beyerdynamic DT990 Limited Edition PRO 250 ohm (All Black, Straight Cable) for $140

Focus Camera is offering the new condition open-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT990 Limited Edition PRO 250 ohm (All Black, Straight Cable) for $140 everywhere (on their website, eBay, Sears, Jet, Rakuten, Walmart, Amazon), but the safest place to buy it from Focus at the moment is fulfilled by Amazon. This means they ship from Amazon’s facilities (and Prime 2-day eligible for members), and if you have any issues or problems, you deal with Amazon’s customer service and payment system instead of directly from Focus).

PS: does anyone have a complete collection of all the variations of the Beyerdynamic DT 770-880-990 including the limited editions? They’d need a whole wall of their own! 🙂

PS2: the whole DT990 line-up of the Limited Editions (all black) is also running at Massdrop (32 or 250 or 600 ohm) for $220 plus $8~ flat shipping.
