RHA CL1 IEMs back in-stock and down to $212

The RHA CL1 ceramic in-ears were in-stock for close to $220, then they run out, then their price went back up to $250. As of this recheck, they are back in-stock, and their price has now dropped to around $212, sold & shipped by Amazon actual.

This is among the new headphones that are being tracked in Version II of the New Headphones Tracker that just went live today!

Used Chord Mojo portable DAC/amp for $450+

There are a couple of “Used – Good” condition listings with scratches but all accessories included offered by a marketplace seller, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, which reduces the risk versus something shipped directly from the marketplace seller.

There’s also a “Used – Acceptable” for $450 that is fulfilled by Amazon. In addition to the scratches, it is missing some of the original accessories. The prices of the used versus $new condition options are a close call depending on your used vs new philosophy.

The marble-y portable DAC/amp averages 4.6 out of 5 based on 81 customer reviews.

UPDATE: I replaced the link above with one that shows all the detailed used listings. For the new condition options, check the main product page.

You can buy as many as you want. The more sporty blue/yellow color scheme is coming next month according to the estimate there.

As more and more of the new models launched around IFA 2017 begin to roll out, the time is right for this new project! I have just began building Version II of the New Headphones Tracker. I am adding headphones to it as we speak. If you want any upcoming models to get tracked, please let me know in the comments!
