FREE 3-Month TIDAL Music Subscription [new customers]

For new customers only, Groupon is offering a FREE 3-Month TIDAL Music Subscription. After the three months expire, you will be automatically converted to the $10/month service. This is the standard service, not the higher-resolution “HiFi” service.

Speaking of music apps, free for a limited time is the “pro” version of the “RadioApp PRO” by Tal Shrestha on iTunes. You need an iOS device or Windows running iTunes to get it. If you get it from Windows, you don’t even need to have an actual Apple device to grab it for future use.

Advanced Sound Accessport Lightning DAC/Amp for $45 [MD]

For Lightning-connected iPhone, iPod and iPad devices, Massdrop is offering the new condition Advanced Sound Accessport Lightning DAC/Amp for $45 with free US shipping for the next five days and change (from blog-posting time). This will ship in late April 2018 from Massdrop by the vendor. There is no mention warranty in the listing.

PS: compatible devices are iPhones 5 (and later), iPod Touch 5 (and later), iPad Mini 2 (and later), all the iPad PRO and Airs, and iPad 4 Retina (and later).

Blue Ever Blue Earphone Grab Bag for $24 w/FS [MD]

If you like the quasi-mystery and randomness of grab bags, Massdrop is back with another Blue Ever Blue grab bag running for the next five days and change (from blog-posting time). You pay $24 with free US shipping and for that you are guaranteed to randomly receive one of the following earphones:

To make the most of a grab-bag, assume that you are going to get your least desirable item from the list. If that’s okay with you proceed. If not, maybe save that money and put it towards the outright purchase of the item of choice 🙂

You can buy up to ten grab-bags per customer, but keep in mind, each selection is random, there’s no guarantee you will receive unique items if you buy more than one. Especially since one of the earphones has a 50% chance.

These will ship in early May 2018 with all sales final as usual. You can’t return them if you don’t like your randomly selected choice.

Monoprice Hard-Cases (Weatherproof) sale

If you like to store your headphone and audio gear in weatherproof hard cases but don’t want to pay the big bucks for the manufacturer custom-cases or buy the more expensive name-brand products, one option is the Monoprice Hard Sale of their house-brand weatherproof cases. Check the pictures and dimensions of each case of interest to see whether it would fit your intended use. This is a limited time sale, but expiration is not mentioned.

I did not test these two coupons to see if they work with any of the 23 above, try it if you are interested in buying any of them. The coupons expire Saturday 3/31/18 11:59pm pacific:

+ PLAY5 is $5 off orders of $25+
+ PLAY20 is 20% off orders of $150+
