we find good deals for you!
Running for the next two days, the new condition Massdrop CTH + SDAC DAC/Amp is fully unlocked at Massdrop for $320 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty. The estimate there says it will ship in late February 2018, so keep that in mind, that’s 3.5 months from blog-posting date! This is based on Cavalli Audio and Grace Design components as outlined at the page over there.
Note again that this will ship at the end of February 2018!
If you like blue/black color-scheme in-ears, the new condition Panasonic RP-HJX5 Drops 360 In-Ears are available for $10, sold by Focus Camera with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get free 2-day shipping. You can buy as many as you like. They average 3.8 out of 5 based on 72 customer reviews.
The Monoprice Monolith M560 planar-magnetic open/close headphones are available in “Used – Good” condition (cosmetic imperfections; damaged original packaging) for $150 [WAS $144~] or in “Used – Very Good” condition for $153~ at Amazon Warehouse Deals. They average 4.2 out of 5 based on 60+ customer reviews.
Another deep cut, the new condition Atomic Floyd MiniDarts in-ears have a 50% off clip-on coupon at amazon.com that drop their current price by 50% off. As of the time of writing, they go for $191~. The coupon drops it to $95.50 with free shipping. It has two customer reviews, one happy, one unhappy.
PS: clip-on coupons are something you just click, you don’t have to type anything.
A few months ago Sennheiser renamed their Momentum line to “HD1” in the US market, allegedly because of naming rights and such. Their wired HD1 closed-back over-ears are on sale in new condition for $250 at Sennheiser’s own shop and at B&H Photo and Amazon actual in two different color schemes and with iOS or Android buttons.
The closed-back JBL E45BT Bluetooth On-Ears are included for FREE when you purchase the new condition 15.4″ late 2016 MacBook PRO with TouchBar (16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Retina, Radeon PRO 450, etc) for $1799 at B&H Photo in gray or black. You also get one year of the Microsoft Office subscription. This is a limited time offer.
Fostex the people! [oops! wasn’t I supposed to stop saying this?] The new condition Fostex TR-90 (250 ohm) semi-open headphones are down to $99 with free shipping by “AudioDeluxe” with the orders fulfilled by Amazon. The other variations go for $109+.
This is a relatively newer line of Fostex headphones that unfortunately does not follow the Beyerdynamic number scheme. In Beyerdynamiclandia, DT-770 is closed, 8 is semi-open, 9 is open. Makes sense. In Fosterlandia, 7 is open, 8 is closed, and 9 is semi-open. No pattern! Harder for a mnemonic 🙂
These are dynamic headphones, not planar magnetics.
On the budget side of things, the new condition AamzonBasics In-Ears with a 1-button remote/mic and a flat cable are back down to $5 each, in new condition, in two color schemes, with up to three pairs per color per customer. Not only that, but [not to jinx it] as of the time of writing they are not marked as ADD-ON items, even though they are so low in price. This means Prime members can get just one pair and get free 2-day shipping.
They average 3.6 out of 5 based on 600+ customer reviews, with an under 3:1 “review intensity ratio”, a sign of trade-offs and potential issues. Check reviews and such. They are $5 after all, not a $1000 flagship 🙂
It’s coupon time on eBay with a new 7-Day Coupon Promotion running until next Monday at 8am pacific (November 20, 2017). The coupon code PSHOPEARLY gets you 20% off the price of items individually priced at $25 or higher. You can get up to $50 off using the coupon. So anything that sells for over $250 will instead get a flat $50 off discount.
Over 120 eBaY sellers are participating and there are almost 2000 items at Portable Audio. Of those, there are over 460 of them that are headphones.
Of those 120+ previously mentioned ebay stores, perhaps the most recognizable in terms of headphones is the PitBull Audio eBay store. They have over 200 listings under headphones.
Remember the coupon only works on items that have an individual price of $25+, not a shopping cart of $25+ in various sub-$25 items.
I have to run some AFK tasks, so I can’t dig into the listings and check for deals right now, but check them out, especially PitBull since good deals tend to fly away quickly.
As usual, some brands and some products may not be eligible for the coupon for various reasons (restricted by manufacturer, seller’s choice, etc).
If you are fond of “New – Other” eBay conditions (instead of New sealed in box) for a discount, the BuySPRY eBay stores is offering the “new – other” condition (opened original retail packaging with potential blemishes and such) Beats X bluetooth earphones for $75 with free shipping in the black or white or blue color schemes. The other colors sold out. Limit up to three per color per customer. Over 330 units sold so far from this listing per the page over there.
Note that the listing says nothing about warranty, so assume it comes without a warranty?
