Amazon’s price bots were not baited into price-matching… As of this update, it is not price-matched at amazon.com.

PS: the “B1” model is bluetooth but not ANC. The “N1” is both. And both of them are “Extra Bass”.

So many deals, so little time! Also part of the Prime Deals is yet another sale, it is a 20% off automatic discount when you add the products and proceed to Checkout, over 70 audio products including Beyerdynamic headphones are participating. More on these as I go through them (and everything else)…
Google’s first (and only so far) generation of the Chromecast Audio critter is back on sale again, going for $25 with free shipping by GOOGLE’s eBAY store with a limit of up to five units per customer.
Also on sale, online and in-store for $25 at Staples.com. Free shipping depends on your Reward membership status and/or order total. You can also select store pickup if you want to avoid a shipping fee.
We have a useful text and pictures unboxing here, but no review yet 🙂 This is what’s included in the box, so in terms of reusable accessories, you get a yellow interconnect (two ring / three pole), a microUSB to USB cable, and a USB AC charging head.
The same combo is back with another similar promotion. “aSavings” an the internet imprint/persona of Focus Camera, and through the NewEgg website, they are offering the open-back over-ear Audio-Technica ATH-AD1000X headphones for $229 with free shipping and a $60 promotional NewEgg e-gift card.
If you don’t see the aSavings offer there, look for it in the Sidebar over there under “Best Service Sellers”.
The e-gift card can be used at NewEgg, not at aSavings (which is good and more flexible) within one year of issuance. While this promotion is running (until Saturday 7/16/17), the e-gift card will be emailed to you a few days after purchase automatically. There’s no coupon code to enter. If you don’t see the e-gift card mentioned on the listing, it means the offer expired. See screenshot below:
PS: that “D” lost in the middle of the product name is what signifies that they are open-back. The models without the “D” are closed. One simple mnemonic to tell them apart is that “D” is close to an “O” as in Open 🙂
NewEgg is back with a promotional gift card offer, good until Saturday 7/16/17. You can get the new condition closed-back on-ear BeyerDynamic DT1350 Limited Gold Edition for $125 with free shipping, along with a $25 promotional NewEgg e-gift card. The e-gift card will be emailed to you a few days after the purchase, and will be good for a whole year. The seller is Focus Camera, not NewEgg actual. It will ship from Focus Camera.
This is not a head to toe gold headphone, it only has gold accents, eg the outside of the earcups.
As of 7/12/17 re-check, the AKAI 50X Closed Over-Ears has increased from $19~ to $25~.
As the stock traders like to say, this is like trying to catch a falling knife. The prices of the AKAI 50X closed-back over-ear studio-ish headphones, aka Audio Technica M50X name-a-likes, keep on dropping! As of the time of writing, you can get them in new condition for the very specific price of $19.43 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual. Limit up to three per customer.
This offer is available to everyone, not just Prime members. At this point, one could buy them for accessories and experimentation and cannibalization. They come with two 6-inch cables (coiled and straight), a leatherette pouch, and a 1/4 to 1/8″ adapter. They average 3.5 out of 5 based on 68 customer reviews.
They were going for $26 when I posted the Latest Deals Summary last week.
The new condition AmazonBasics Closed-Back Over-Ear Headphones are now down to $6.87 [WAS $7.83] with free shipping at Aamzon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three units per customer. As with other AmazonBasics headphones, they appear under different brand names. Their design looks familiar, but I don’t recall which other brands share this design. They average 3.6 out of 5 based on 100+ customer reviews.
I haven’t heard the above, so I know nothing about them. They should not be confused with the bang-for-the buck darling that is the AmazonBasics On-Ears which are not on sale, and they, along with their Monoprice and other branded cousins got praise. Of interest if you want a tastefully bassy portable lightweight headphone for modern music genres. They may be a Prime Day deal later, but they are too popular to get a big discount like the over-ears above. The On-Ears have over 3300 customer reviews versus just 100 of the over-ears.
It turns the model participating in the lightning deals is the Sony MDR-XB950 B1 for $98, not the N1!

This lightning deal expired, but fear not! The option without the 3-year warranty has now been scheduled to be a Tuesday Lightning Deal.

These used options are no longer available at this price…
As of 7/12/17 AM re-check, this used offer run out… They apparently had more than the shopping cart thought…
Another clip-on coupon at Amazon, a rather unusual pair of earphones that try to (partially) solve the carrying the earphones problem. They are a wristband you wear, and when you need to play music, you unfold them and start listening. When you are done, you turn them into a wristband again and carry on 🙂
They currently go for $20, but until 7/11/17 PM, they have a 30% off clip-on coupon, dropping their price from $20 to $14. Only the ones sold and shipped by Amazon actual are eligible for the clip-on coupon. The ones sold by other sellers do not get the coupon. As of the time of writing, the brown and blue color schemes are eligible for the coupon. The rest are not.
They average 3.5 out of 55 based on 13 customer reviews. Check the picture gallery at Amazon for more pictures, one of which you can find below:
A mini doorbuster at Amazon, sold by Amazon actual, it is the new condition Panasonic RP-HJX5 Drops 360 In-Ears going for $10 with free shipping for Prime members or with a $35+ order. You can buy as many as you like. They are not a lightning deal. Only the blue color scheme (metallic blue) is on sale like this. The other two colors go for 2X to 3X in price.
All together they average 4 out of 5 based on 60+ customer reviews.
Electronics have coupons good, good until 7/11/17 PM, a clip-on coupon at Amazon (you don’t type anything, you just clip the coupon on the website while logged on to your account) is a 25% off discount on the current price of the Atomic Floyd SuperDarts Titanium In-Ears dropping them from $327~ to $246~. They have three customer reviews, the first one of which is a pictorial unboxing of the red-themed packaging.
This only works if Amazon actual is the seller. They are the only seller at the moment for this item. Here’s a screenshot if you’ve never encountered Amazon coupons:
Hide your wallets. The planars are coming! The official Hifiman store is now offering the new condition HE 560 planar magnetic headphones for $500 with free shipping with the orders fulfilled by Amazon (Prime eligible) and also through their official eBay store.
The sale has also propagated to NY’s B&H Photo. All these options are a lot safer than the iffy and unknown marketplace seller offering them for $400 through Walmart a few weeks ago.
The Blue Microphones Satellite bluetooth headphones where the last to roll out when Blue expanded their headphone line-up. It remains at $400 in new condition, but if you don’t want to wait for discounts and you are comfortable with used condition headphones, they are available in “Used – Good” condition for $295~ at Amazon Warehouse Deals and they have multiple listings in “Used – Very Good” for $314~. Since there are multiple listings, price pressure may lead to further discounting in the future.
In other Blue Mic action, their unpowered LOLA sale ended, now both colors go for $250. However, there is some hope, because Amazon’s own price did not go up, they just yanked their own offer, so the lowest price is $250 by other sellers. It is possible that when Amazon’s own offer returns, it may be at the sale price. Most of the times it is not, but you never know.
However, the powered Mo-Fi in the black color scheme continues to go for $210 with a 2-4 weeks shipping estimate.

A rather busy Sunday of Lightning Deals includes the black color scheme of the KEF M500 Hi-Fi On-Ear Headphones going for $200 with free shipping until 5:44pm ET tonight. The price before the sale was $300 last night. The Black/Aluminum was a lighting deal a couple of days ago for $200 as well.
If you like wine-pink (okay, Bordeaux Pink) colored headphones, you are in luck! The Bordeaux Pink color scheme of the new condition closed-back Sony H.Ear MDR-100AAP are on sale for $109 with free shipping by Beach Camera with the order fulfiled by Amazon, so you get free 2-day shipping.
If you prefer a different color, the Lime Yellow goes for $119. You can see all the colors on the same listing, but only these two are on sale thusly.
These are wired, no bluettooth, no ANC, no Extra Bass. They almost feel naked without any buzzwords 🙂 They average 4 out of 5 based on 47 customer reviews.
PS: I can’t easily tell from the pictures if they are over-ear or on-ear. But they are closed-back for sure, and they fold.
Pricing of the Urbanite series, between the Over-Ears and the On-Ears, the different colors, and the iOS and Android options is literally all over the place. Throwing darts is more predictable than trying to predict.
Which brings us to the new condition closed-back over-ear Urbanite XL Over-Ears in the Denim color scheme with the iOS remote/mic, on sale for $93 with free shipping. It is currently restricted to Prime members with a limit of up to three units per customer.
The iOS/Android is basically the remote control on the detachable cable. You can use these headphones with any device. The only difference is what remote control functions will work with non-iOS devices. Or you can use your own cable, or purchase a Sennheiser Android cable. In other words, don’t let the “iOS” scare you away 🙂
All these versions together average 3.9 out of 5 based on 350+ customer reviews, and have over 130 answered questions. Their in-stock estimate date is July 12 (2017).
If you love this price and you are not a Prime member, you can start a 30-day Free Trial, which will also let you participate in the Prime Day Festivities, and you can always cancel it before the 30 days if you don’t want to be charged. Caution though, a Prime membership is addictive once you have it 🙂
The next closest price is the Black iOS version go for $113~ and this one is open to all customers, not just Prime members.
It’s KEF Day today 🙂 While the new condition closed-back on-ear M500 is $200 Lightning Deal, if you prefer the K400 On-Ears instead, you can get them in “Used – Very Good” condition (repackaged) for $112~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual (AWD). This is the black color scheme. The other used color go for more, closer to the $200 new condition price.
PS: as usual with AWD, make sure you check who the seller is, and avoid the “Just Launched” and low rated and iffy looking sellers. Buying “fulfilled by Amazon” adds a layer of protection, since you deal with Amazon’s own customer service in case of problems.
The 6-hour lightning deal of the new condition KEF M500 Hi-Fi On-Ear Headphones in the Black/Aluminum for $200 expired and it is back to $300.
But remaining is a “Used – Like New” option for $181~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual on the Black/Aluminum color scheme.
The headphones average 3.8 out of 5 based on 60 customer reviews, and have eight questions peer-answered.
