Sennheiser Urbanite XL Over-Ears for $70 [Black, iOS, limit 3]

Urbanites unite and take over! The new condition Sennheiser Urbanite XL Over-Ears, in the black color scheme, with the iOS remote control, are on sale at the moment for $70 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual with up to three pairs per customer. Only this option is currently going for under $100. This is an old school sale, not a lightning deal, so I have no way of knowing when this expires.

You can use these with any music source. The iOS part only means the Volume Up/Down buttons will likely only work on compatible iOS devices, not Androids. These have detachable cables, so you can use a different cable. I don’t remember if you can use any cable or they have a proprietary mechanism. Check the reviews and answered questions over there (or your favorite search engine) if interested. I can’t tell for sure by looking at the product gallery picture #5.

As you can see in our Sennheiser posts, good old Sennheiser has been very active this holiday shopping season with various sales and new product launches too (eg the HD59x Jubilee).

Monoprice MP80 BA/Dynamic In-Ears (with three tuning nozzles) for $59 w/FS

The Monoprice party continues, this time with a brand new in-ear release, so new it has zero customer reviews at the moment at their website!

It is the new condition MP80 BA + Dynamic Driver IEMs are on sale for $70 with free standard US shipping. But wait, there’s more! You can use coupon code ENJOY and get 15% off, making this a $59.50 with free shipping. The coupon expires Christmas night (12/25/17 PM).

That’s the thing with Monoprice coupons, some of the time (but not most of the time) they also work on sale items, so you have to check/test every time if you want to get the lowest price available at the moment of purchase 🙂

It comes with three tuning nozzles that alter the sound signature. The three options per the product description follow the patterns of bright, sub-bassy and neutral-ish (“deliver a more accurate frequency response”). They have close-up pictures of the tuning nozzles [screenshot below]:

Accessories are a leather storage pouch, a cord clip, and silicone eartips.

This could make for an interesting and more complicated review for the boldly-going early-adopters as you would essentially be reviewing three different earphones in terms of sound signature.

And that’s before you go wild and mix different tuning nozzles on each ear! I said “boldly going” 🙂

15% off Monoprice coupon (ends Mon night)

Coupon ENJOY (that’s the name of the coupon, Monoprice is goofy like that with the coupon naming) gets you 15% off many things (but not all things) at Monoprice.com until Christmas night (11:59pm pacific I believe), giving you an opportunity to “correct” some of Santa’s mistakes or accessories some of Santa’s gifts 🙂

None of the Monolith headphones are eligible for the coupon as usual. Also not eligible for the coupon is their Sonic Solace ANC/BT Over-Ears which continue to go for $50 with free shipping.
