Gadget Cleaning Kit (six different items) for under $2
This is not a dedicated headphone cleaning kit, but it has a number of accessories that can be used for the maintenance and care of headphones and earphones. Each set contains six different items (three microfiber clothes, cleaning brush, two-sided cleaning pen, 50 paper tissues, spray bottle, air blower). And you can get this AmazonBasics Cleaning kit for $1.94! That’s bang for the buck!
You can buy up to three sets at this price. There is a downside however, it is an ADD ON product, so you must place an order of $25 or more, otherwise Amazon’s shopping cart will refuse to let you buy it. The restriction applies to all, Prime and non-Prime.
This is not a daily deal, so the price is market-driven, it does not have a preset expiration date. In other words, only the Amazon Price Bots know what will happen to its price. And even they probably don’t know until their AI programming tells them 🙂
AmazonBasics Closed Over-Ears for $6.77 [limit 3]
The new condition closed-back over-ear AmazonBasics headphones are on sale again, going for $6.77 with free 2-day shipping for Prime members by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal sale, so there is no preset expiration time. The style looks familiar by off the top of my head I can’t recall its “cousins”. It averages 3.5 out of 5 based on 130+ customer reviews. It is not an Add-On item!

Still Good: Used V-MODA VAMP Verza Universal Headphone Amplifier for $236
One of the two used listings of this has survived since we mentioned it last week…

To make sure I’m not hallucinating, here’s a screenshot 🙂 [only one of the two listings “survived”]

Used Bose QC15 ANC Over-Ears for $131 shipped
If you prefer the older Bose Quiet Comfort 15 active noise cancelling headphones, you can get them in “Used – Excellent” condition for $124 plus $7+ shipping at adorama.com. One reason why this particular listing is priced lower is because it is missing the cable with the remote/mic, and missing the airline adapter. If you already have those cables or know how to get easily get them, then their loss is your win.

Used Bowers & Wilkins P9 for $573
Used Premium may sound like an oxymoron, but if it can save you $300+ over the new condition price, it may be a reasonable trade off 🙂
The closed-back over-ear stylish Bowers & Wilkins P9 Premium headphones go for $900 at authorized dealers, but if you are comfortable with used models, used prices start at $573~ in “Used – Good” condition by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.
As of the time of writing, all the used listings there at AWD are by AWD actual, but as always, make sure you pay attention who the seller of a product is at AWD, especially if they are not AWD actual or fulfilled by Amazon, since you don’t have the extra layer of protection of dealing with Amazon’s Customer Service, and Amazon’s shipment facilities, and Prime shipping (if a member).
