New Weekly Round-up is posted!

Hooray! Not as early as I would have liked but it still got posted before late Sunday night, so you can read it as you wind down for Sunday 🙂 It is a new This Week in Headphoolia with an assortment of topics, a mix of video and text/pictures from across the internets!

You can also catch up with previous editions in the Headphoolia archives. There are 13 of them already!

While no one was watching, Pioneer launched a new headphone, blessed with both “PRO”, “DJ” and “Studio” marketing, it is the closed-back over-ear folding Pioneer DJ HRM-5.

There’s one listing for each condition mentioned above by AWD actual.

It has one customer review that has two sentences in it. So plan ahead before you read it 😉 It has detachable cables and detachable pads (since there is a listing for official replacement pads for it, model HC-EP0402).

Monoprice Mini Headphone Amp for Guitar for $11 w/free S&H

These are eligible for the previously mentioned Monoprice coupon at the Monoprice website but they don’t get free shipping, so they end up costing more than if you buy them from Amazon, where the Monoprice store offers them with free shipping. Go figure 🙂

There are two models, both sold by Monoprice with free shipping but not Prime eligible. It is the Monoprice 611502 Mini Headphone Amplifier for Guitar going for $11, while the Monoprice 611500 Mini Headphone Amplifier for Guitar going for $12. Between them they have almost 100 customer reviews.
