5pk Cosmos Drawstring Headphones Pouches for $12

A five pack of Cosmos Drawstring Headphones Pouches is going for $12 in the black color scheme (back in-stock since the last time I checked) and in the gray color scheme. The black color scheme is a lot more popular review-wise, it has 80 vs 3, and it averages 4.5 out of 5.

Check dimensions of the bag (inner and outer) along with the customer reviews and answered questions to get a feel of what headphones fit in these. I have these, and I plan to review them, but I have to find them first. They are in a box somewhere 🙂

Used Schiit Magni 2 Uber for $152 [WAS $143]

UPDATE 5/20/17 AM: this is going in the wrong direction, it went up $9 since the original post last night.

If you prefer to buy Schiit Audio products from Amazon instead of directly from Schiit Audio, especially if you are a Prime member (since you get free 2-day shipping), you can get the Magni 2 Uber Headphone Amplifier in “Used – Very Good” condition (small scratches, damaged original packaging) for $152~ [WAS $143~] with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) actual. Only one of the listings is from AWD actual, so it may be gone by the time you read this.

The new condition price of this at Amazon is $179 while it is $149 plus mandatory shipping at the Schiit website. To get Prime-like shipping you may have to upgrade to more expensive shipping (varies by location/zipcode).

Speaking of which, the ebook written by the company’s two co-founder about the company’s history is on sale for $3.82 in the Kindle format (over 380 pages). It averages 4.8 out of 5 based on 23 customer reviews.

Refurbished Sony MDR-1000X ANC and BT for $260

On the other hand, if you prefer the newer MDR-1000X headphones over the MDR 100 sale, and if you are willing to go certified refurbished, you can get the MDR-1000X in certified refurbished condition by Secondipity thru Amazon in the black color scheme (Prime eligible) and the silver/white/cream color scheme (not Prime eligible).

The current new condition price for the MDR-1000X is $400 but sometimes they go on sale for $350. However, as of the time of writing, for $400 you can get them bundled with a case and stand (Slappa Hardbody PRO case, and wooden omega (the letter) shaped stand). It ships directly from Beach Camera but Prime members get Prime-like speed for free.

This is a heavily contested price and feature set, with competitors such as the Bose QC35, Beats Studio, Sennheiser PXC and Momentum, B&O, B&W, vying for the $300 to $400 bluetooth with ANC segment.
