Another headphone is on sale, part of the Monoprice Memorial Sale Audio sale, it is the new condition Metal Dynamic On-Ear Headphones offered for $35 instead of their usual price of $50. No coupon is needed, this is a straight up sale.
Shipping is extra, options vary by zipcode, and look to be $7+. Unlike earphones that are small and packaged lightly [eg the Triple XXX IEMs], over/on-ears take up more space, which means more expensive S&H fees. However, one way to get a lower price on shipping is to buy it together (in the same shopping cart) with another item that is eligible for free shipping.

This is not a coupon but a sale! The Monoprice XXX Triple Driver IEMs is on sale for $40 plus shipping for the Memorial Day shopping weekend. Because IEMs are small, most zipcodes qualify for the $2.49 Monoprice Saver (3-6 business days).
UPDATE: this is part of a larger Headphone and Audio sale for the Memorial Day weekend.
