Good until Sunday FEB-10-2019 at 11:59pm eastern time, the new condition NuForce BE Free8 truly-wireless earphones are on sale for $80 with free shipping as one of the daily deals at New York’s finest B&H Photo… These support apt-X LL (no, not LL Cool J, but Low Latency) and AAC. But there’s only so much battery you can stuff in the “truly wireless” types, so their official playback estimate is four hours… On the other hand, wired headphones have (theoretically) unlimited playback time 🙂

EU: AmazonBasics In-Ears for 2 euro
On the budget side of things, Amazon Germany is offering the new condition AmazonBasics In-Ears for just 2.36 euro and you can buy as many as you like at this price. This is not a lightning deal, so the price does not have a ticking clock ~ but it can go up and down according to the whims of the Amazon AI system… This price is only available in the blue color scheme without a mic/remote. The black without mic/remote goes for 4+ euro, while the other options go for more.
These average 3.6 out of 5 based on 120+ customer reviews, so read up on them, but keep in mind, there’s only so much one can demand out of a 2 euro pair 🙂
There is a CATCH however ~ this is marked as an ADD-ON item, so you must place an order of 20+ euro on products that shipped or fulfilled by Amazon. Their shopping cart will let you know when you are good to go.
You can also reach the 20 euro minimum by buying nine pairs of these, it can be any combination of these and any other shipped/fulfilled products.
This is open to everyone, it is not a Prime-only offer like the AKG K612s…
PS: speaking of low-priced Add-On items, you can get the new condition five-meter Wentronic 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable for 2.40. It averages 3.4 out of 5 based on 34 customer reviews though…
EU: AKG K612 open over-ears for 90 euro
AKG is now touching three continents. An Austrian company, purchased by Harman Kardon, which in turn got purchased by Samsung. So it has local affiliations regardless. Which brings us to Amazon Germany, offering, for Prime members only at the moment, the new condition open-back over-ear AKG K612 PRO headphones for 90 euro.
Not a bad price if you happen to be looking for open under 100 euro from the EU. Note that there are plenty of models in this AKG line, so research them all if you are not already familiar with them…
EU: Sennheiser HD660S for 389 euro
The price is on a downward trend at the moment for the new condition Sennheiser HD 660 S open-back over-ear headphones, they are currently on sale for 389 euro from Amazon Germany actual.
This of course is competing with its other siblings, the good old HD600 and HD650 from traditional audio retailers, and the relatively new HD6XX from Massdrop. In the US, you can get two HD6XX headphones for the price of one HD660 S which is more expensive than Europe. In the EU on the other hand, Massdrop prices include customs/duties/taxes and shipping, bringing the prices closer together depending on location. Plus there’s the matter of warranty…
