Sennheiser HD1 BT/ANC On-Ears down to $200

Down go the HD1! The new condition Sennheiser HD1 bluetooth with active noise cancelling headphones are on sale for $200 with free shipping in either color scheme at Amazon by Amazon actual. Limit three per color per customer. This is not a lightning deal, so the expiration time is unknown. They are either a sale or a price-match of somebody else.

Powerbeats 3 return to $110

It’s Brideshead Revisited. Okay, $110 revisited for the exercise bluetooth earphones that go by the name of Powerbeats 3, on sale at this price at Amazon by Amazon actual with one pair per color per customer at the moment.

Apple is just too popular. AppleTV’s return to Amazon sold out quickly, but they remain orderable.

Starts Friday 9am ET: Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Headphones for $150

Massdrop back with another new product launch happening this Friday 12/22/17 at 9am eastern time! It is the brand new Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Headphone that will be offered for $150 with free USA shipping.

A total of 5000 units will be available as part of this drop. The first 500 purchases will get a serial number under 550. They are described as a modern take on the spirit of the HD 580 with new 150 ohm drivers. A 2-year manufacturer warranty is included since these are a co-operation with Sennheiser.

The shipping estimate will be revealed when the offer goes live on Friday at 9am eastern.

It will be interesting to see whether, depending on the shipment estimate date, these may cannibalize some of the HD 6XX potential sales and current orders.

Advanced Sound S2000 IEMs for $20 w/FS [MD]

Unlocked already, the new condition Advanced Sound S2000 IEMs are going for $20 with free shipping to US addresses at members-only Massdrop. The offer runs for the next five days and change (as of posting time). At checkout, you can select whether you want one with a 1-button remote/mic or no mic/remote at all ~ for the same price. They include a drawstring pouch and additional eartips. All sales final. They ship from the vendor in mid-January 2018. There’s no mention of warranty on the listing, but hey, it’s a $20 earphone 🙂

PS: all the Massdrop posts here have either [MD] or mention the word in the blog-post title, so if you are not interested in Massdrop, you can ignore those posts; or if you are interested, you can look forward to them 🙂

PS2: there are over a dozen headphonalia (headphones, amps, etc) that are currently offered as “normal” sales at Massdrop. They ship within a week after you purchase them. They call them the “in-stock drops” and we have a running summary of those in our Massdrop Tracker permanent post. Bookmark that if interested!
