Sennheiser HD 660 S shipping Saturday from Amazon actual

If you prefer to buy audiophile-level headphones from Amazon actual, and not from any of the many marketplace sellers there (authorized or not), and you want to buy the new Sennheiser HD 660 S, we have good news for you! Amazon actual estimates that they will have it in-stock on February 17, Saturday! This as of the time of writing ~ as time goes by, the estimates change…

Sol Republic Replacement Headbands start at $5

On the replacement accessories front, for fans of compatible SOL Republic headphones with the user-replaceable headbands, a couple of colors are on sale and Prime eligible and *fingers crossed* not Add-On items. The red replacement headband goes for $5 (offered by two sellers if you need more), while the blue color scheme goes for $6. The rest go for $8+. They average 4 out of 5 based on 150+ customer reviews.

Lightweight On-Ears: Koss KPH7V for $3.42, Panasonic RP-HT21 for $5.40

If you are looking for old school lightweight on-ear headphones, for kids or guests or other semi-disposable uses, a couple of different well-vetted models are on sale at Amazon as follows:

+ Koss KPH7V Violet color scheme for $3.42 (limit 3)

+ Panasonic RP-HT21 black/silver for $5.40 (limit 3)

Both of these are Add-On items, so your order total must be $25+ in products shipped or fulfilled by Amazon, otherwise their shopping cart won’t let you buy them. So you can instead “append them” to a larger Amazon order if you are not close to $25 right away.

Razer Adaro DJ Analog Headphones for $40 w/free S&H

Razer, the gaming company, is also dabbling into “analogue” headphones, with a 3.5mm input and no wireless or gaming features. An old fashioned headphone. And their Razer Adaro DJ Analog is currently going for $40 with free shipping by a couple of marketplace sellers that are fulfilled by Amazon which is an extra layer of protection… One of those two sellers is also selling them for the same price at their own eBay store, it is the Digital Outlet MP3 (99.2%, California), a familiar name from the good old days of mp3 players. The headphones average 3.5 out of 5 based on 150+ customer reviews at Amazon and have about half that many in answered questions.

Beyerdynamic Byron BT In-Ears for $79 [limit 3]

When they came out, the Beyerdynamic Byron BT (bluetooth) earphones were going for $100, but as of the time of writing, they are on sale for $79 with free shipping by Amazon actual with up to three pairs per customer at the same price. All three Byron models are on the same page, so keep that in mind if you are reading customer reviews and answered questions.

Sennheiser CX 3.00 In-Ears for $19

More sales on the Sennheiser front, this time it is less than what the ATM spits out 🙂 The new condition Sennheiser CX3.00 in the red/black color scheme is on sale for the very specific price of $18.57 by Amazon actual with up to three pairs per customer. It looks like a group price-match of marketplace sellers. The other two color options go for $21. Free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order.

If you need something to get you to $25+ if you are not a Prime member, there are a couple of things we posted earlier today, a Belkin 5-in-1 splitter and Brainwavz earpads.

Belkin Rockstar 5-Jack Headphone Audio Splitter for $7.49

If you prefer to get a recognizable name-brand splitter (instead of various unknown brands), the black color scheme of the new condition Belkin Rockstar 5-Jack Headphone Audio Splitter is on sale for $7.46 with free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order. This is unpowered, so the number and type of headphones you connect to it will affect things (an engineer/physicist could probably do back of the envelope calculations, given the specs of each headphone connected).

Sennheiser HD 559 Open Over-Ears for $86

It’s discounting season in SennheiserLandia! Their entry-point into their new 59s open-back line-up is on sale! The new condition HD 559 is on sale for the very specific price of $85.71 at Amazon by Amazon actual with up to three pairs per customer at the sale price.
