Pre-order 1More Quad Driver IEMs for $200

If you want to be among the first to get the new 1More Quad driver IEMs and don’t want to wait for future discounts, they are now available for pre-order for $200 at Amazon.com, with two seller options, Amazon actual or 1More’s Amazon store (fulfilled by Amazon, so you get Prime benefits). 1More’s estimate is April 11, while Amazon’s own estimate is “temporarily out of stock” which could mean just about anything 🙂

PS: the Costco website does not carry the quad drivers (yet?). I can’t check the Costco stores due to lack of superpowers 🙂

Status Audio CB-1 Closed for $55 + S&H [MD]

Status Audio is another one of the brands riding the hype train, with both open and closed headphones sitting side by side on said train. The closed version are currently offered at the members-only but free-to-join Massdrop for $55 plus shipping. The offer runs for the next seven days and it is estimated to ship early May 2017. This too is an “all sales final” offer.

If you don’t want to wait or you are not fond of the Massdrop way of doing things, Status Audio has also set up shop at Amazon with the four headphones they offer fulfilled by Amazon, so you get free 2-day shipping if you are a Prime member. The Amazon price is $79 with free shipping for either the open or closed models.

Koss KDE250 Earphones for $100 + S&H [MD]

This defy conventional categorization, are they earbud-speakers or headphones with a mini earcup or earphones in the true sense of the word? We’ll let the various subcommittees debate this while Massdrop offers the Koss KDE250 Earphones for $100 plus shipping. The offer runs for the next seven days with an early May shipment estimate. This too is an “all sales final” promotion.

AmazonBasics In-Ears with mic/remote for $5~

On the budget side of things, almost disposable pricing, or bed time earphones mayhaps, the new condition AmaznoBasics angled in-ears with mic/remote are on sale for around $5 at Amazon’s own website. Despite the low price, they are NOT an Add-On item, so as a Prime member, you get free 2-day shipping even on one pair of this. Non-Prime members have the usual $35+ hurdle to climb. They also not quantity-restricted (in practical terms), you can get up to 30 per color per customer.
