we find good deals for you!
We have a new blog-post on the content side of this blog, a new fun “repurposing” post, re-purposing empty wallet boxes as earphone and DAP cases. It works better than it sounds even, especially with the fancier wallet boxes 🙂
I have many and more repurposing ideas, but transferring them from notes to pictures and blog-posts takes time 🙂 Also part of this series of “Tips and Learnings” we previously posted these:
+ USING BACK TO SCHOOL DOORBUSTERS AS CHEAP CASES

There is another different headphone on the same listing, so if you are reading the customer reviews, make sure you are looking at the correct model [the other one looks like it might be related to the Status OB1]…
Speaking of Amazon, good until 6:05pm ET today, you can get the new condition Brainwavz HM5 Studio Monitor Headphones for $83~ with free shipping. They are 18% claimed as of the time of writing. Since there’s less than 3 hours left, I didn’t want to create a separate post for it…

An update of the Headphone Tracker has another new headphone shipping, it is the Jabra Elite Sport 65t Truly wireless going for $170 by Amazon actual.
CORRECTION: I got the model names mixed up yesterday. The one that WAS on sale at Best Buy for $150 was a different and older model. All apologies for the confusion. Confusion is my superpower it seems 🙂
Best Buy is apparently using the Spanish color names for the three Bose SoundSport Free truly wireless earphones, that’s why you see there Naranja, Azul, and Negro, instead of Orange, Blue and Black. They are not exclusive or new Best Buy colors. Mayhaps they got mixed up, they have a website in Spanish…
The new condition Photive BTH3 Over-Ear Bluetooth (closed-back obviously) headphones are offered for $27 with free shipping for Prime members or $5 flat shipping at the Woot Plus headphone sale which continues until the items offered there sell out. Limit up to ten per customer ~ never too early to start planning Christmas gifts 😉
This particular Photive model goes for $40 at amazon.com where it averages 3.9 out of 5 based on over 4000 customer reviews. It has nearly 800 answered questions, so if you are curious about something about it, chances are it may have been answered. Needless to say, you don’t have to read them all (ha!), both the reviews and the answers have search boxes. Infact Amazon now has a “universal search box” near the review are that searches everything (description, reviews, answers, etc).
It supports bluetooth 4.0 and has a 3.5mm input as well. It comes with a Photive zippered headphone case which you can also use for some of your other headphones, as long as they can fold flat (and fit inside obviously).
This is a good deal especially for Prime members, since you don’t have to pay that pesky +$5 flat shipping fee.
