Beyerdynamic Custom i On-Ears for $27 w/FS [max 3]

Doorbuster time! NewEgg actual is offering the new condition Beyerdynamic Custom i On-Ears for $27 [WAS $30] with free shipping with up to three pairs per customer. You just have to add it to the shopping cart to see the price; no promo codes, no mail-in rebates!

It has adjustable bass (three position physical slider on the earcups), removable earcup shields (16 designs included), detachable single-entry cable (but has 3.5mm inputs on each earcup so you can listen to two music sources at the same time). Per the “Specs” it includes a custom case.

This looks very very similar to the Custom Street On-Ears – see our Unboxing and Review Diary of the “Custom Street”. I am not sure what their differences are (other than the name). If they are similar, this is definitely a great value!
