8GB Tensun MP3 Player with microSD for $25 after coupon

If you like to explore budget Chi-Fi mp3 players, the 8GB Tensun MP3 with microSD slot (up to 64GB) drops from $30 to $25 when you enter coupon code R7JWEYMN at checkout, sold by Tensun, with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so it is Prime eligible. It supports various formats and averages 3.9 out of 5 based on 24 customer reviews and has a dozen of answered questions. It also includes a pair of basic-looking earphones.

I haven’t seen or touched this. It is slightly tempting to do a budget chi-fi DAP group review, but I would need 240 hours per day for that 🙂

Panasonic RP-HJE120B bluetooth earphones for $30

Trying to piggy-back on the popularity of the frequently recommended single-figures RP-HJE120 earphones, Panasonic has released a new version with a starting price of $40, but as of the time of writing, the new condition bluetooth version in the blue color scheme, model RP-HJE120B-A, is on sale for $30 at Amazon by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal but an “organic” sale.

PS: in Panasonic-speak model naming, “A” = blue, probably Azure, and “B” = bluetooth.

Used AudioQuest Nighthawk for $349 to $356 [updated]

The AudioQuest Nighthawk wood over-ear headphone is available in “Used – Very Good” condition (cosmetic imperfections, repackaged) for $356~ [was $342~] by Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) actual and for $349 in “Used – Very Good” (original packaging) by Audio Advice (ships directly from them) through AWD.

Monoprice Sonic Solace ANC/BT Over-Ears for $54 + S&H after coupon

Coupon code CHILL15 gets you 15% off many (but not all) products at Monoprice until Tuesday night. Yes, finally, a 3-day coupon, so you won’t miss it and you can find time to plan a purchase, since they have many affordable cables and adapters and such.

Which brings us to the brown/tan color scheme of the Monoprice Sonic Solace ANC + Bluetooth Over-Ears dropping from $64~ to $54~ with the coupon CHILL15. Shipping is extra and varies depending on what else you buy and such. The black color scheme is not on sale, and is not coupon eligible.

PS: I just re-tested their M560 and M1060. Neither of them is eligible for the coupon (they rarely are).
