Sennheiser HD 280 PRO Closed Over-Ears drops to $80

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

Samson SR-350 Closed-Back for $10 [or buy 3 for $24] {ends Sat PM}

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…

It averages 4.5 out of 5 based on 16 customer reviews at B&H…

This should not be confused with the more famous Samson SR-850 headphone [see our text & pictures unboxing] which also goes by a Superlux and other names (I think)…

UPDATE: meanwhile at the Friday daily deals, there’s some headphone action elsewhere as follows:

+ at Best Buy you can get the Skullcundy Indy truly wireless [semi-long stems] for $50, and if you want to store your music on external Samsung USB-C SSDs, they have a couple of them on sale

+ at NewEgg they have the Anker Soundcore Vortex bluetooth over-ears for $35 after entering the promo code shown over there ~ while this promotion is running
