we find good deals for you!
Hen-Heiser fans, your time has come. Starting at 3am ET on Monday 6/1/20 and lasting for 24 hours [or earlier if sold out], one of the NewEgg deals du jour is the new condition closed-back Sennheiser HD 2.30i on-ears wired headphones going for $35 with free US shipping.
The listing has two color schemes and iPhone (i) and Android (G) button options. I don’t know which combination(s) will be on sale. It will be revealed over there when it goes live…
For Tuesday 5/26/20, headphones are the theme at two of the retailers offering “deals du jour”.
We start at Newegg where they offer the refurbished Klipsch neckband bluetooth earphones for $40 with free shipping and the refurbished Anker Soundcore Liberty Air truly wireless for $39 after promo code 93XPK28 entered in their shopping cart…
And at Best Buy it’s a {PRODUCT RED) offer, the new condition closed-back bluetooth on-ears that go by the name of Beats Solo 3 offered for $180…
With Apple about to launch their “AirPod Over-Ears”, things are going to heat up once again for the most hated “mainstream” headphone brand at the audiophile message boards. It’s now BOSE vs BEATS vs Apple!
While the i-Hype is i-Building for the first Apple-branded over-ear headphones, the little Airpods are the headliner Best Buy daily deal for 5/25/20. It’s the Geek Squared certified-refurbished AirPods with wireless case going for $140. This Geek-refurbished version averages 4.4 out of 5 based on 249 customer reviews as of the time of writing…
Meanwhile at the NewEgg.com dailies they have two offerings:
+ Anker Soundcore Liberty NEO (2019 Upgraded edition) truly-wireless for $33

+ Klipsch Energy Power12 SUB for $119
The Fuji Labs headphones return to the Sunday 5/24/20 NewEgg.co dailies with their new condition closed-back over-ear HD-2000 (aka AUFJ-W-HD2000-WH) going for $30 with free US shipping. This is sold and shipped by the Fuji Labs NewEgg online store.
This is a bluetooth 4.0 headphone with micro-USB connector and LiPo battery…
Not one but two headphones are among the NewEgg.com daily deals for Saturday 5/23/20 as follows:
+ SkullCandy HESH3 wireless over-ears for $50
+ Fuji Labs Sonique II in-ears for $10
And at the Best Buy offers du jour, you can get the Jaybird Tarah necklace-style bluetooth earphones for $45…
It’s all about Sony during Friday 5/22/20, as the headliner of the Best Buy daily deals are Sony audio products:
+ Sony WH-CH700N ANC + bluetooth closed over-ears for $100
+ as fate would have it, we have a text and pictures unboxing of it from two years ago
+ PS: the PORG you see in the unboxing is NOT included with the headphone ~ it is our blog pet 🙂
+ Sony SP-600N necklace-style bluetooth/ANC earphones for $70
+ Sony SRS-XB-22 portable bluetooth speaker for $70
+ XB of course being eXtra BASS; perfect for audiophile jazz listeners 😉

+ also 7″ Sony Android Auto media thing and Sony Audio system and in-dash digital media receiver and Sony 1155W 2-channel Dolby Atmos 4K A/V hometheater; so much SONY today, too many to list here one by one!
Elsewhere, at Amazon Germany, the Huawei P40 smartphones [no GOOGLE PLAY!!!!] are bundled with the Huaweii truly-wireless earphones and a Huaweii smartwatch in great prices IF you don’t care for Google Play and Google Play Services. That’s a HUGE IF. I don’t think I would want to be chasing hacks to run Google Play apps in 2020. This may have been a fun thing to do in 2010, but these days, I just want things that work 🙂
You can feed your DAPs and PADs (phones as DAPs) at the NewEGG.com daily deals with these two microSD cards:
+ 400GB Sandisk ULTRA for $57
+ 128GB Team for $16
+ also: Philips SHB-5950-WT neckband-style earphones for $17 but reviewers NOT happy with it ~ averages 3 out of 5 based on 21 ratings as of the time of writing
If you are looking for an affordable headphone stand, the B&H daily deals [expire Saturday at 11:59pm ET] include their house-brand AURAY HPDS-B headphone stand for $12. It averages almost 5 out of 5 based on 35 customer reviews… While there, you will also find a couple of options for CAD (the brand name, not the Computer-Aided Design) USB microphones ranging from $50 to $80…
I was just checking and I noticed that the products featured in “Massdrop Europe” experiment are all marked out of stock. I do not know if this is COVID-related or BREXIT-related or for another reason. These are products that get physically shipped from Massdrop to a European location, so they can ship from within the EU, so customers do not have to pay customs or deal with long waits and other related customs issues. Of course they have to pay that lovely VAT 🙂
More on this topics and some prices I managed to grab in our previous posts…

If you are interested in a “studio headphone” that actually wants to be a studio headphone and not a fashion/style headphone that uses the name studio to get audio-cred, the new model of the closed-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 280 PRO is on sale for $80 at B&H Photo and also by Amazon actual…
If you are looking for a budget closed-back headphone, you have until Saturday 5/16/20 at 11:59pm eastern to grab the new condition Samson SR-350 for $10 with free US shipping as one of the deals of the day at B&H Photo. This is the “Special Edition” color scheme… Or if you read up on this headphone or already own it and need them in volume, they are selling a 3-pack on the same listing for $24, that’s $8 per headphone…

UPDATE #2: at the NewEgg daily deals they have the new condition closed-back over-ear Sony WH-1000X Mark III (M3) headphones on sale for $238 with free shipping. Judging by the seller (Red Tag Camera) this is like the international model, not the blessed-by-Sony-USA model with a warranty…
The year is 2020, it would have been NICE if the online retailers figured out a way to clearly MARK grey-market items and list the warranty. They’ve turned everything else about selling into a science [just look at all those over-stuffed product pages with all kinds of ads, recommendations, buy-together offers and such]…
