Used Master & Dynamic MH40 Over-Ears for $225

The Master & Dynamic MH40 closed-back over-ears have a $400 regular price in new condition at authorized dealers, but if you go the Way Of The Used, you can almost cut in the price in half, assuming the discounts color-schemes are the ones you like (or at least do not object to). So off to Amazon Warehouse Deals we go…

… where Audio Advice (they have two B&M stores in North Carolina) is offering the brown color scheme in “Used – Very Good” condition (original packaging) for $225 with free shipping through Amazon Warehouse Deals. This ships directly from them, so it is not Prime eligible.

On the other hand, if you like the convenience of Prime, the Gunmetal color-scheme is offered in “Used – Very Good” condition (minor cosmetic imperfections; damaged original packaging) for $234~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.

Back In-Stock: 5pk of black Cosmos headphone drawstring pouch for $12

The gray color scheme has been steadily in-stock, but the black color scheme was sold out until recently. But as of this recheck, the 5-pack of Cosmos-branded drawstring headphone pouches is back in-stock in the black color scheme [CORRECTED LINK] for $12 as well. Check the product description for dimensions and the customer reviews (over 70 of them) to see what fits and what doesn’t.

I bought one of these a couple of years ago for review purposes, but I can’t find them. I have to dig deeper 🙂 I hadn’t opened them yet, so I don’t know how good they are. The one I have been using for over 3.5 years (and it held up pretty well) is the Shure HPACP1 whose price went up in recent weeks. A review of that is in the pipeline as well 🙂
