KZ Earphone Sale: ATR for $6, ZS3 for $8, ZST for $12 [Free S&H from China]

KZ earphones are now available from various Prime-eligible sellers if you prioritize quick delivery over lower price. But if you are not in a hurry to receive them quickly, then you can get them at a lower price with free (slow) shipping from China.

A couple of KZ models are currently on a flash sale at GearBest as follows:

+ the KZ ZS3 earphones with detachable cable for $8

+ the KZ ZST Wired On-cord Control with detachable cable for $12
+ this is the colorful “Colormix” edition – the picture over there explains 🙂

+ the KZ ATR earphones for $5.67

These come with free Unregistered Air Mail (slow shipping) from China. Other shipment options are also available but not free. But except for Expedited shipping, the “Registered Air Mail” and “Priority Line” are fairly low and much lower than the price of the earphones.

Heads Up: Monday 5am ET: Audio Technica AD900x and AD500x sales

UPDATE: the start time has been changed to 12pm ET instead of 5am ET…

ORIGINAL POST
According to the schedule posted at NewEggFlash Headphones, starting at 5am eastern on Monday 7/17/17 (in case you are too hyper to fall asleep after the return of Game Of Thrones), there will be a sale on two Audio Technica open-back headphones, the AD900x and the AD500x. As the “D” in the name hints at, they are open-back. Remember our little mnemonic, “D” is shaped almost like an “O”, O for Open 🙂

The price and the seller will be revealed when they go live. There are no hints of them ahead of time. Here’s a screenshot of the teaser to make sure I am not hallucinating 🙂
