KZ ZS6 In-Ears for $29 w/free S&H from China [two colors]
UPDATE: it is now 11.11 in most of Asia, and the price of these dropped to $29 with free slow shipping from China in the black or red color schemes..
The 11/11 sales are just around the corner but why wait? GearBEST has a sale on all three TWO colors of the KZ ZS6 earphones going for $32 with free shipping in the black or red color schemes. This ship from China for free, but it is slow shipping. There are options to get faster shipping in the shopping but they are not free. But these are small things, so it shouldn’t cost much (depending on location, etc, etc, etc).
For more KZ action at GearBest, check all the KZ products they carry.
PS: the green color was on sale for $29 in mid October but not the other two colors.
PS2: the green sold-out as of 11/10/17 AM re-check…

Sennheiser HD 630VB Closed Over-Ears with Variable Bass Control for $290
It looks like Amazon’s price bots may have automatically price-matched marketplace sellers on their website, making the new condition Sennheiser HD 630VB Headphone with Variable Bass and Call Control going for $290 with free shipping, sold and shipped by Amazon actual. Up to three pairs per customer from Amazon actual (you can buy more from the marketplace sellers but warranty situation from them is uncertain). Amazon’s own estimate is “usually ships in 5-7 business days”.
This is a lesser known and rather unusual headphone given the Sennheiser line-up. It has Variable Bass control through a rotary dial on the earcup, and even though it’s not wireless, it has on-earcup volume and call controls. It is a closed-back over-ear that folds (collapsing style).
It averages 4.4 out of 5 based on 31 customer reviews, and has 20 answered questions by the internet people.

Massdrop Objective 2 (O2) Headphone Amplifier for $95 + S&H [MD Daily Droppings]
This is a “daily dropping” at Massdrop. That’s not an official term though. Their term is “In-Stock Drops”. This is for products that they have available at their facilities and they can ship much faster than their usual drops.
I’m calling them “daily droppings” because each drop (offer) opens and closes on a 24 hour basis. So don’t worry about the countdown clock in cases like this, the drop will re-start after the current incarnation expires.
One of these is the new condition Massdrop Objective 2 (O2) Headphone Amplifier going for $95 plus shipping. They will ship two to three business days after the daily drop closes. Their 24-hour days are more like office-hour days than calendar-day days 🙂
ALL THE MASSDROP DAILY DROPPINGS
This is the list of all their In-Stock Drops. I still prefer to call them as “Daily Droppings”, it’s more memorable and more self-descriptive and funnier 🙂
The current rotation of “Daily Droppings” includes:
- Massdrop x Fostex TH-X00 for $400 or $500 (Ebony)
- AKG M220 for $50 [or $45 with the Rakuten coupon)
- CEntrance DACport Slim for $100
- Massdrop x AKG K7XX (Black or Red Edition) for $200 each
- Sennheiser PC37X Gaming Headset for $120
