Ends July 23: Daily FOCAL headphone giveways (Listen Over-Ears or Spark earphones)

UPDATE: Last Call! This daily FOCAL giveaway promotion ends on Sunday July 23!

Reputable online dealer OneCall, which is also the B&M A/V dealer Huppin’s in the city of Spokane (Washington) [yes, Gonzaga, Go ZAGS!] is an authorized FOCAL dealer and until July 23rd in 2017, they are running a daily giveaway of FOCAL headphones.

The prizes are either the FOCAL Listen over-ears (wired or bluetooth) and the Spark earphones (wired or bluetooth). One person will win a pair every day. It is not clear which one of the four models you’ll win on that particular date or whether you have a choice. You can register for this promotion every day.

The promotion is administered by Gleam, and requires a login using email or Facebook or Amazon or Instagram. The page shows the total number of entries, so you can look at those and decide whether you want to take a shot at them. You can enter every day until the promotion ends.

To make it easier to find this, I am adding a link to this in the Sidebar of the blog.

Used Bowers & Wilkins P9 for $573

If you are tempted by the Bowers & Wilkins P9 flagship headphones but don’t want to pay the new condition full price, Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) comes to the rescue, sold by AWD actual (not iffy sellers) starting at $573~ in “Used – Good” condition. There is one listing at this price, but there are four of them in “Used – Very Good” for $611~, so there is a possibility of price pressure building over time if they don’t move fast enough to Amazon’s price-bot algorithms’ satisfaction. There’s also a “Used – Like New” in damaged original packaging for $650~. The new condition price is $900 at most sellers, except for Audio Advice which has it for $800.

Thursday: Best Buy Sale for Rewards Members Only: Sony, Beats, Bose, Sennheiser HD 558

Best Buy has a rewards members only sale on Thursday until 11:59pm central time for Rewards members only. You have to login with your Best Buy account and be a “My Best Buy Members” rewards member. This is an Early Access sale that ends on Thursday at 11:59pm central time.

They are calling it a Black Friday in July, so I’m assuming whatever survives the rewards members will become available for the general population on Friday (but I could be wrong). Amazon may price-match some on Friday if/when they become available to the general population and not behind the members/log-in wall.

The headphones are as priced in the screenshot below. The Sennheiser Audiophile headphone is the good old HD 558 open-back over-ear. The Beats X drop to $100 when you add them to the shopping cart. The rest of them are as the screenshot shows. “View Image” with your browser or open it in a new window to see a larger version…

PS: if you are curious about this device, B&H also has over there its 27-page PDF manual. This is a link directly to the PDF file.

Starts Friday 5am and 12pm ET: Half a dozen Little Dots on sale

If you are a fan of the Little Dot headphone amps, half a dozen of them are scheduled to go on sale on Friday either at 5am ET or 12pm ET at NewEgg FLASH.

Some will go live at 5am ET, others at 12pm ET. The actual start time over there may get readjusted slightly. For example, the previously mentioned Audio Technica ATH-AD*X sale shifted to later in the day.

NewEgg FLASH only has a thumbnail teaser. They do not reveal who the actual seller of these is going to be, and they don’t reveal the sale price until the sale goes live. So these are the two unknowns. Here’s the teaser for two of them:
