Sign up for Audible Free Trial, Get 20% off select headphones

Amazon is running a new promotion to encourage people to sign-up for an Audible free trial. After you sign up for the trial, you will receive a promotional credit for 20% off select headphones (priced up to $200). Excluded are Sennheiser, Sony, Beats and Bose from this promotion. The promotion runs until 10/31/17.

I haven’t done this promotion (yet?), so this is based on what the Promotional page says. There are four pages of eligible headphones per the page. Some speakers are also included in the promotion.

TIP: click on the giant banner over there to start the Audible free trial.

They also have a separate page with more detailed Terms and Conditions. Some of the terms that stand out:

+ the promotional credit must be used within 60 days of you receiving it
+ if you’ve had an Audible Free Trial in the last 3 months, you are not eligible for this
+ you will receive an email with the details after you start your Audible trial
+ the headphones must be sold and shipped by Amazon actual (not marketplace sellers)

SOME of THE ELIGIBLE HEADPHONES

+ 1More Triple Driver, Quad Driver IEMs, Piston Fit
+ Koss Porta PRO, KSC-75 clip-ons
+ Libratone Q
+ V-Moda Forza IEMs, Crossfade LP2 Over-Ears, XS On-Ears

V-Moda Crossfade M100 Closed Over-Ears for $150

The “Shadow” color scheme of the new condition closed-back over-ear V-Moda Crossfade M100 headphones are on a clearance sale for $150 with free shipping at Best Buy’s website. These are an older, wired-only model.

Sennheiser HDR 160 Headphones for $49 [limit 3]

Please note this headphone cannot work stand-alone! It is part of the RS 160 wireless system. You need to have a transmitter/base for them too play music. The reason they are sold individually is because you can pair more than one headphone to a transmitter/base, so multiple people can listen to them, or you can continue listening when one pair runs out of battery.

With that out of the way, the new condition Sennheiser HDR 160 Headphones are on sale for $49 with free shipping and a limit of up to three pairs per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual. These average 4 out of 5 based on 100+ customer reviews and they have almost 40 questions answered.

These are part of the previous generation of Sennheiser RS-wireless models and they use KLEER technology. The headphones are powered by two AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries.

Refurbished Monoprice Hybrid Tube Amp w/Bluetooth for $56 w/free S&H after coupon

For regular purchases, Monoprice has two coupons good until Saturday night. Coupon FALL gets you $5 off a $25+ order, while coupon SAVINGS is a percentage coupon, 20% off a $200+, their best coupon these days if you are making a big purchase. Keep in mind, only coupon-eligible items count towards the minimum. Meaning if you have $50 of coupon-eligible items in your cart along with $300 in ineligible, you can’t use the coupon. You must have $200+ in coupon-eligible items.

Separate from those coupons, the refurbished Hybrid Tube Amp with Bluetooth, model 15527, drops from $80 to $56 with coupon code 25WATT entered over there. It also qualifies for free standard US shipping!

Monoprice 10010 Closed Over-Ear ANC for $50 w/free S&H

Monoprice is back with a combo deal: you get free standard US shipping AND a coupon discount as well! Coupon code SD25 (that’s the whole coupon name) gets you the new condition Monoprice Model 10010 Active Noise Cancelling Closed Over-Ears for $50 with free shipping and handling for a limited time!

This is an ANC headphone without bluetooth. The ANC circuit is powered by a single AAA battery, a plus if you are a fan of those versus built-in rechargeables. If you are going to go the way of AAA, investing into rechargeable is a good way to save you money and unnecessary emergency trips to stores to stock up on disposable AAA batteries.

Speaking of Monoprice, their brand new Monoprice M565 Open-Back Over-Ear Planars are now in-stock for $200. They are not eligible for the weekend coupons (as usual with most of their other planar M-series headphones).
