Asia shopping: 11 11 Sales are happening now!

The Black Friday of ASIA is today 11/11 (in a global time zone kind of fashion)! Check your favorite Asian retailers for a variety of sales, including Aliexpress (check their Fiio sales and XDuoo sales) and GearBEST where a number of their KZ earphones and XDuoo gear are on sale. Use the search bars at those websites or use the various banners/offers higlihghted on their main sites. Happy hunting 😛

Monoprice M600 Open Over-Ears for $100 w/FS

We have a group of offers at the Monoprice website, starting with week #2 of their Early Black Friday sales headling, headphone-wise, by the new condition open-back over-ear Monoprice M300 headphones, a name certainly not not an homage to the good old Sennheiser HD 600 🙂 This headphone is currently on sale for $100 with free standard US shipping, instead of its standard price of $130. It is not eligible for the weekend coupons. Limit up to 20 per customer at the sale price.

Monoprice is also running a limited time Home Theater sale with a variety of systems, speakers, subwoofers, mounts and the obligatory (and necessary mind you) audio accessories.

Back to the headphones, they also have a sale on one of their new recently released bluetooth headphones, the new condition BT-400 Closed Over-Ears go for $33 with free standard US shipping. Just like the previously mentioned 8323s, these too support apt-X.

Monoprice 8323 with Bluetooth Closed Over-Ears for $20 w/FS

For a limited time [and not eligible for the weekend coupon], the Monoprice website is offering the new condition Monoprice 8323 with bluetooth closed-back over-ear headphones for $20 with free standard US shipping. Limit up to twenty pairs per customer at the sale price.

This is a newer model based on the wired 8323s. 8323 was their Monoprice PID, and because of the way their website works, new products get assigned new and unique PIDs. Thus the PID for the bluetooth 8323 is actually 24735 🙂 The customer reviews of the two are mixed together so keep that in mind ~ the vast majority of them there are for the older wired model.

I’ve had the wired model and certainly for the price it was a great deal but note that if you have a big head, this may be a tight fit. I could just barely fit inside and they do take up volume on your head when expanded.

They come with apt-X, and considering the price, one has to wonder exactly what the licensing fee for apt-X is and whether some of the more high-end headphone manufacturer (s’ fans) are using the apt-X fee as an excuse to justify the lack of it 🙂

PS: don’t forget to also check their Overstock sale of nearly 500 items for some randomness…

Sunday: Monoprice XXX Triple Driver IEMs for $30

Good for Sunday only, coupon code VET25 drops the price of the new condition Monoprice XXX Triple Driver IEMs from $35 to $30. They come with free standard US shipping, so you get them delivered for free [unlike Prime, a rarity at Monoprice]. IF you want many more of these or you are planning a larger order of eligible items, coupon VET150 gets you 20% off orders of $150. Mayhaps they are all getting Triple XXX IEMs for Christmas this year? 🙂

These average 4.4 out of 5 based on 88 customer reviews at the Monoprice website…
