Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight On-Ears for $6.35

Flashback to the Walkman and cassette tape era, the lightweight but open-back Panasonic RP-HT21 are on sale for $6.35 each, in new condition, at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three per customer. These stood the test of time and are used in volume at various places (eg schools), which is why you see multi-packs on the listing, including 100-packs 🙂 They average 4.3 out of 5 based on over 4200 customer reviews.

Now shipping: B&O PLAY H4 Bluetooth Over-ears for $299

The headphone stork is bringing in even more new releases. The new B&O PLAY H4 bluetooth closed-back over-ear headphones in the “charcoal gray” color scheme are now in-stock and ready to ship for $299 with free shipping by authorized dealer Onecall through Amazon. More marketplace sellers have it now, check the detailed listings [updated 2/25/17]

These ship from OneCall (Eastern Washington, the only persona of Huppin’s – think Gonzaga!), but if you are a Prime member, you receive Prime-like shipping speed even though they don’t ship from Amazon’s own facilities. This is thanks to a lesser-known Prime benefit, where some retailers agree to ship some items at Prime speeds. You can recognize this on listings (while logged on with a Prime account) by looking at the highlighted areas in the screenshot below:

They support Bluetooth 4.2 and promise up to 19 hours of music playback before recharging. They also play music through a standard 3.5mm input. B&O has an ever-increasing number of H-series headphone models. This particular model does not have ANC, which for some may be considered a plus.

Beats by Dr. Dre Tour2 Active Exercise Earphones for $50

To The Dre we go, where B&H Photo is offering the Beats by Dr. Dre Tour2 Active for $50 with free expedited shipping. Active refers to their intended use as exercise earphones, not active noise cancellation. This is a limited time offer, but expiration date is unknown (to me). Three of the five colors are on sale: the default black-red, the siren-red, and the titanium.
