Open Box Used Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT Over-Ears for $74
Getting the Innerfidelity blessing is helping the Sennheiser HD 4.40 bluetooth over-ear headphones keep their prices at a profitable margin, but if you don’t want to wait for another sale (they were a $100 Amazon deal of the day in late November 2017), there is an alternative, you can get them in “Used – Like New” open-box condition by BLINQ through Amazon Warehouse Deals for $74~ with free shipping.
Speaking of the HD 4.* series and Blinq, they have the HD 4.20s closed-back over-ears wired in “Used – Like New” open-box condition for $41~ with free shipping through Amazon Warehouse Deals. We actually have a text and pictures unboxing of these. Their thick earpads are their #1 feature.
Both ship directly from Blinq and are not Prime eligible…
Titus Audio Symphony Line of IEMs on sale
The Titus Audio Symphony line of in-ears is on sale, and they are all clustered on a single Amazon root listing, with a limit of up to three per earphone per customer. Some of them are available in different color schemes. Free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order. The prices are:

+ the numbers above are rounded for simplicity
Refurbished Sony WF1000X Truly Wireless for $100
The new condition Sony WF1000X truly wireless earphones go for $200 at authorized Sony USA dealers, but if you want to cut the price in half, you can get them in certified refurbished condition for $100 by Secondipity fulfilled by Amazon (Prime shipping) in your choice of black color scheme. The gold/brown/metal/whatever color scheme goes for the same price, but ships directly from Secondipity and it is not Prime eligible.
These appear to have trade-offs however, as they average 3 out of 5 based on 150+ customer reviews at amazon.com and they have a flat “review stars histogram”, something you don’t want to see in a product. Looking at the review-stars distribution alone is a sign of issues and trade-offs so read up on them before buying!
AmazonBasics 5-in-1 Audio Splitter for $7
Belkin is probably the most well known among the little unpowered 5-in-1 audio splitter, but now they have name-brand recognition competition from none other than the BORG of house branding, AmazonBasics! They recently launched eight different colors of a 5 in 1 unpowered audio splitter with seven of the eight colors currently going for $7 each. They average 4.6 out of 5 based on 62 customer reviews.
These are unpowered, so the audio is affected by which headphones you connect to (based on the laws of physics, not magic). You can try it if you don’t believe me 🙂
