[DEAD] KZ ZST earphones for $14 to $15

The recurring Amazon lightning deal on these expired, but the sale continues at GearBest which ship from China for free but will take much longer than Amazon to arrive.

Among the lightning deals of the Gold Box at Amazon, good until 12:25am ET on Wednesday, there is a sale on various KZ products. The KZ ZST earphones go for $14 to $15 depending color and mic/remote, and $10 for the replacement upgrade cables. These are Prime eligible with free 2-day shipping for Prime members, or with a $25+ order.

Panasonic RP-HJX5 Drops 360 In-Ears for $10

On the single figures in-ears front, the new condition Panasonic RP-HJX5 Drops 360 In-Ears are going for $9.99, sold by Focus Camera with the orders fulfilled by Amazon so they are Prime eligible. They average 3.9 out of 5 based on 70 customer reviews. Only the Metallic Blue color scheme (model RP-HJX5-A) is on sale. “A” in Panasonic speak is Blue as in Azure.

MEE Matrix 2 Bluetooth Over-Ears: NEW for $68, USED for $39+

The third generation MEE audio Matrix 3 bluetooth headphones are now out, going for $120 in new condition and $84~ in used condition. They support Bluetooth 4.0 with apt-X and AAC, and also play music via 3.5mm input.

But if you want to go bluetooth by saving more, the second generation goes for $68 in new condition by Amazon actual (limit 3 per customer).

Or you can save even more thru Warehouse Deals where the Matrix 2 goes for $39~ in “Used – Acceptable” or $44~ in “Used – Very Good” condition or $47~ in “Used – Like New”. The previous link is the default summary listing. This is the detailed Used only listings.

The Matrix 2 supports the same formats but also supports NFC. I haven’t found anything in the listings of the Matrix 3 mentioning NFC. NFC can be handy if you want to pair/connect by touch. It can be handy if you have an air war between music sources and headsets fighting to make active bluetooth connections. Both come with zippered cases.

Audio Technica ATH-AD500X Open Over-Ears for $66

Things are not as congested in the sub-$100 world of open-back headphones as they are with headphones, and perhaps people don’t focus on this category as much, but apart from the more famous Sennheiser HD 5XX, Grados and SHP-9500S, Audio Technica too has its own line, starting with the ATH-AD500X (mnemonic pro tip: “D” is close to an “O”, “O” as in Open)…

… which are currently on sale for $66 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual. The nearly 500 customer reviews on that listing are intermingled with those of the ATH-AD700X, so if you are reading them, do keep that in mind!
