we find good deals for you!
On the budget side of things, and with free shipping regardless of order total, Techrabbit is running a 20 items for under $20 sale that includes the following headphones:
+ refurbished Samsung Level U PRO neckband bluetooth earphones for $20
+ refurbished Plantronics BackBeat Go bluetooth earphones for $10
+ refurbished JBL YurBuds Focus 400 earphones for $5
+ refurbished Sol Republic Tracks HD On-Ears for $18
+ they come with a 1-year warranty from Techrabbit
Sennheiser too is starting to make Black Friday noises. Their new condition Sennheiser HD1 bluetooth neckband earphones are on sale for the very specific price of $144.90 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual. It looks like an automated price-match of two marketplace sellers that have it at the very same price. The earphones average 4 out of 5 based on 65 customer reviews and they have 40 answered questions.
PS: as previously mentioned the HD1 Closed Over-Ears are on sale for $250.
The Hifiman HE-400i planar-magnetic headphones were released prior to the HE-400S. But they both settled in an overlapping price range the last few weeks. Now the HE-400I has gone further down, going for $219 by Hifiman on eBay (you can buy as many as you want) and by various at Amazon including Electronics Expo and the Hifiman store, both of these fulfilled by Amazon.
On the used front, the Hifi Heaven eBay store has them as a USED customer return “Like New” for $180, while at Amazon Warehouse Deals there are various “Used – Very Good” listings by AWD for $175~.
The Hifiman eBay store offers the Soundmagic PL50 in-ears for $50 but the Hifiman Amazon store undercuts themselves by offering them for $39 with free shipping. These are fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get free 2-day shipping. They average 3.1 out of 5 based on a not-so-lucky 13 customer reviews. The complaints are about construction and durability, the praise for the sound.
The Songbird is a discount bird 🙂 The new condition Hifiman RE-600S V2 Songbird In-Ears are now down to $99 by the Hifiman official store thru Amazon (Prime eligible) and also through eBay where their official eBay store is having an early sale of a few (but not all) of their products.
Don’t do this if you hate mail-in rebates! But if you are a seasoned pro of mail-in rebates, NewEgg is offering this Rosewill RCW-H9007 6 ft. Digital Coaxial Audio Cable Male to Male for FREE after an $8 mail-in rebate. You pay $8 at checkout. Free shipping. Sales tax is not included in the mail-in rebate, so that’s on you.
The offer ends Thursday night or earlier if sold out. Limit one mail-in rebate per household. A PDF with the rebate details is available below the egg-y “Add to Cart” button.
The Hifiman store offers the Yuin PK2 actual earbuds for $79, but if you want to pay less and receive them faster, a couple of fulfilled by Amazon marketplace sellers (free 2-day Prime shipping) are offering them for $63 with free shipping at amazon.com. I haven’t heard of either marketplace seller, but because the order is “fulfilled by Amazon”, it makes returns, shipping, payment issues, and such much easier since you just talk to Amazon’s regular customer service. You don’t have to “fight” with the marketplace sellers directly.
More action in the Hifiman eBay store, the more expensive Portable Music Players were too embarrassed of the lower price of this model to have it under their DAP category so instead they pushed it to the “Other” category. Yes, the Otherization of DAPs!
Okay, silliness aside, the new condition HifiMan Mega Mini Media Player is on sale for $99 with free shipping by the Hifiman official ebay store in your choice of silver or gold or gray color schemes.
This can take microSD cards (often called “TF” in Asian tech specs) up to 256GB, and can play up to DSD. They have a long product description over there on the eBay listing, including a Q&A that answers the question whether it “requires a break-in”. I’m afraid to say that the only way to properly break in audio equipment is to use $999 audio cables, play alternative whale songs and pink noise, while wearing the headphones upside down and singing opera. This is known!
The Hifiman eBay store is getting an early start on the Black Friday festivities, they have also discounted their open/closed Hifiman Edition S headphones from $149 to $129 in the black color scheme.
If you prefer to shop at Amazon, or if you want either color scheme, fear not, there are multiple Amazon listings on them for $129 and Prime eligible offered by the Hifiman Amazon store at these prices.
These are dynamic on-ear headphones. Their claim to fame is the “open/close” option which is fairly rare.
PS: the white color scheme’s name includes “lightning” in it. It’s part of the name. It does NOT have a lightning cable connector for Apple devices. To paraphrase REM, it’s part of the “Adventures in Chi-Fi” 🙂

As of 11/18/17 re-check, these sold out and cannot be ordered again…
On the single figures front, the new condition AmazonBasics Closed-Back Over-Ears are down to $7 with free shipping for Prime members. Currently this is restricted to Prime members, it is not an add-on item (fingers crossed) and has a limited of one per customer. It averages 3.6 out of 5 based on 210+ customer reviews. The shape looks familiar but I’m not sure which of the other brands are its “cousins”.
