3pk of 2-inch earcup covers for $2.82

Because I love the juxtaposition of high and low prices, we now go to the single-figures end of the spectrum, a 3-pack of 2-inch “Top Stage” (brand name) GMC04-Q6 Studio Headphone foam covers are offered for $2.82 at Amazon by Amazon actual. Limit up to 30 sets per customer. As the price hints, they are an Add-On product, so you must needs place a qualifying order of $25+ in order to be “allowed” to buy them. They average 4.3 out of 5 based on 1320+ customer reviews. Both them and the answered questions have clues as to which headphones they fit and which they don’t.

PS: you can buy 3000 of these earcup covers for the price of the previously mentioned AK380 DAP 🙂

Used Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO (250 ohm) for $525

Beyerdynamic DT770 (16 ohm) for $100

The headphone action continues on eBay, where Buydig is offering the new condition closed-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT770 (16 ohm) for $100 with free shipping. Limit up to five units per customer.

PS: if you are not familiar with their famous DT 7-8-9 line-up, be sure to read-up on it. They have many variations, with ohm going from 16 to 600, PRO and PREMIUM options, along with limited editions of some models.

PS2: an easy way to remember the model numbers is this: the higher the number, the more open they are. 770 is closed, 880 is semi-open, 990 is open.

NewBee basic headphone stand for $5

It is not an Add-ON item (shhhh! don’t tell them), so if you are a Prime member you can buy this and nothing more, and still get free 2-day shipping.
