we find good deals for you!
The official Samsung USA online store is having a doorbuster of sorts, they are offering the new condition Gear IconX Truly Wireless earphones on sale for $50 in three different color schemes to choose from.
These are bluetooth wireless, with 4GB built-in storage as well. They average 3.8 out of 5 based on 150+ customer reviews, but most of them bought them at notably more than $50.
Trending among the latest eBay Daily Deals, Secondipity is offering the closed-back over-ear Sony MDR-1000X bluetooth with ANC headphones in manufacturer refurbished condition for $180 with free shipping in black or beige, with a limit of up to five pairs per customer. They come with a 90-day warranty. They support apt-X and Sony’s own LDAC.
In new condition, these go for $250 at authorized dealers, so that’s a $70 question difference between new and manufacturer refurbished.
But that’s not all, the second generation, with a slightly different name, the awkwardly-named “WH-1000X M2” are in-stock and shipping for their starting price of $350.
So if you are going to get the previous generation model, you might as well pay half the price of the “latest generation”!
Back to Audeze. Their Deckard Class A DAC/amp goes for $700 in new condition at authorized dealers, but if you are willing to go “The Way of The Used”, then there are some options:
+ SOLD OUT as of 9/30/17 recheck: in B-Stock condition for $489 at RazorDog Audio
+ in USED condition for $524 + shipping at Adorama with a 90-day warranty and 30-day return policy
+ with shipping added to the total price, you can get it to $539 with free shipping by Adorama on eBay
We have a mini trilogy of Fiio posts. We start with a new arrival at US shores, shipping from Amazon USA (fulfilled by Amazon), so Prime members can get it in two days or so, instead of a long slow shipping wait and customs kerfuffles.
“It” refers to, in this case, the new condition Fiio Q1 Mark II (second generation) a native DSD portable DAC/amp going for $100 with free shipping, sold by the Fiio store [recently launched on Amazon], with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get free 2-day shipping.
This second generation model supports up to DSD 256, and can handle up to 384kHz/32 bit PCM.
The first generation model continues, it is currently going for $70. It does not support DSD and can go up to 96kHz/24-Bit. The first generation averages 4.2 out of 5 based on 110 customer reviews, and has nearly 90 questions answered.
The second generation is so brand new, it doesn’t even have any reviews yet. It was added to the Amazon website just a few days ago.
Fiio fans, fret no more! Sorry, I ran out of f-words 🙂 Okay, enough nonsense. Fiio joined the trend of companies opening up virtual Amazon storefronts, by opening up their own Amazon store, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon. This means they are shipped from an Amazon USA warehouse, with free 2-day shipping for Prime members, or the usual $25+ free super-saver-shipping for non-members.
As of the time of writing, the store has a subset of the Fiio line-up, currently having their odd-numbered F-series of IEMs, and the second generation Q1 DSD DAC/amp.
It’s raining new headphones these days. Another new Chifi earphone is shipping, from the USA and fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members can get it in two days or so. It is the new condition Fiio F9 in-ears in the red color scheme, sold by FIIO’s Amazon store, with the order fulfilled by Amazon.
The black color scheme is not yet available. They average 5 out of 5 but only based on four customer reviews.
UPDATE #1: but wait, there’s more! the special edition of the F9, in the red color scheme, with an L-shaped plug, is also shipping fulfilled by Amazon for $90 with free shipping!
UPDATE #2: the black F9 SE (with L-shaped plug) is also in-stock for $90!
So you have a choice. Picture #2 in the product gallery of each one of the above options shows you the shape of the plug (straight vs L-shaped).
The new condition Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter is on sale for $9 with free shipping with no minimum purchase requirement at Adorama.
It also goes for $9 but free shipping is conditional at at Amazon by Amazon actual and at B&H Photo. At Amazon, you have to be a Prime member to get free 2-day shipping (or with a $25+ order), while at B&H you need a $49+ order for free shipping.
Another option is free store pickup at Walmart or free shipping with a $35+ order.
Needless to say, one should not expect this to perform like a $1000+ DAC and amp system 🙂
Alto Music is offering refurbished closed-back over-ear Audio Technical M40X headphones for $44 with free shipping through eBay and through Amazon. They ship directly from Alto Music.
Their eBay listing says these are manufacturer refurbished with full warranty. Their Amazon listing does not specify any details.
