Phones as DAPs: pre-order Nokia 6 for $180 to $230
On the “Phones as DAPs” front, the Nokia 6 is finally coming to the US market (with Google PLAY access and USA warranty), July 10 is the estimate, and Amazon is accepting pre-orders for $230 in the Standard version for $180 in the Prime Exclusive With Ads version.
GSM Arena reviewed the Chinese version a couple of months ago, and found the headphone output “impressively clean”. It takes microSD cards and runs Android 7.1, so you have flexibility there.
Used Sennheiser HD7 DJ Closed for $84 + S&H
If you missed them when they were more readily available, and if of all the millions of Sennheiser headphones it is the Sennheiser HD7 DJ Closed Back Over-Ears the one you want, they are available in “Used – Demo” condition for $84 plus shipping (starts at $8 and varies by zipcode) at authorized dealer Adorama.com.
PS: their used gear urls have spaces in them which may confuse some web browsers, so you can use this search results link. But note that if/when they sell out, you will no longer see it there.
Bose SoundSport Wireless (bluetooth) for $135
Shhhh! Don’t let the audiophiles see you read this post. It has two of the four triggering Bs 😉
The various color schemes of the Bose SoundSport Wireless (as in bluetooth) are on sale for $135 with free shipping at some authorized dealers, including Adorama.com and Amazon and B&H Photo.
PS (SPOILERS): the other two triggering Bs being Beats and (Extra) Bass(y)…
Sennheiser Momentum In-Ears (RED, iOS) for $66
It looks like a marketplace seller has baited Amazon’s Price Bots to discount the red color scheme of the iOS buttons version of the Sennheiser Momentum in-ears down to $66.23 at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three per customer. The other color/OS combos go for $100.
NOTE that this is a previous model. Sennheiser abandoned the Momentum branding in the US market and at CES 2017 they relaunched the line as “HD 1”. The equivalent HD1 in-ears go for $100 at the moment.
Blue MO-FI (powered, wired, over-ears) for $245
The Blue LOLA Closed Over-Ears (wired, unpowered headphones) continue to be on sale for $137 (ship in 1-3 months; limit up to three per customer), but now the sale is joined by their Mo-Fi Powered Headphones (wired, powered, closed-back) going for $245 by Amazon actual. The shipping estimate for these is 2-5 weeks. Amazon’s shipping estimates can be conservative at times, however, if you need something by a specific date or a specific occasion, do not assume they’ll arrive faster or on-time.
A quick refresher on the Blue Microphones line-up. The powered Mo-Fi were their claim to fame, along with their unique design. Then came Lola (a wired, unpowered, un-wireless headphones). Then at CES 2017 they introduced a trio of new headphones. Mo-Fi got a follow-up in the powered headphones category with the Sadie. They also entered two new market segments, planar-magnetics with the Ella (how does it sound with Ella Fitzgerald?), and bluetooth with the Satellite.
