The Android version is not on sale.

All together these average, as of the time of writing, 4 out of 5 based on 50 customer reviews. While these are not earbuds in the classical sense, I hesitate to call them in-ears as well since they are of the stubby kind. I’ll leave the full debate on what to call them to the various forums after they get tired of hyping the all new Sennheiser HD 560S. Good thing I didn’t order the HD 6XX or the 598 Jubilee 🙂

PS: for those not familiar, HH Gregg was a brick and mortar electronics chain on the Eastern side of the country that eventually succumbed to the “internet era” in 2017 and closed all B&M stores. It decidedly out-survived Circuit City and Electric Avenue [no, not the song, the song is timeless]!

Last Call for Prime Dayz 2020: Microsoft Surface 2 for $200

One last deal before we say goodbye to the Prime Dayz of 2020, it is the new condition Microsoft Surface 2 headphones going for $200 for Prime members during the “Prime Daze” 🙂

PS: as a fan of the Zune, I feel I must needs mention Microsoft’s poor management record on music/audio, OMG THEY KILLED ZUNE, you BASTARDS! In addition to Zune, they also launched newer music efforts which they also killed off shortly thereafter:)

PS2: of course not just Microsoft has a bad music record, The Great Satan of Search (aka Google) is pulling the plug on their own Google Play Music-selling digital store and killing off their nice “Google Play Music” app and forcing you to …create a YouTube channel if you want to have online access to your previously purchased music and playlists.

PS3: what do you expect when the tech world has become an archipelago of walled-garden island-monopolies?

PS4: wow that’s a great line in PS3, I will keep using it 🙂

Wednesday EU Prime Deals: Beats, Kygo, Denon, Panasonic, Philips, Etc

Denon is having an Amazon Germany sale as well with their AH-GC30 ANC/bluetooth over/on-ears (I can’t tell from the picture) going for 169 euro in the black color scheme…

They also had a sale on the Denon AH-D7200 (which is also the name of an older Nikon DSLR) but as of the time of writing this one is sold out…

In addition to the previously mentioned offers, Amazon Germany is having a big Beats sale that includes the Studio 3 Wireless for 180 euro, the Solo 3 Wireless (Club Collection) for 123 euro, the PowerBeats PRO earclip earphones for 180 euro, the Beats EP closed wired on-ears for 55 euro, and lots more.

Sony WH-1000XM3 ANC/BT Over-Ears with Sony Xperia 1 SD855 Smartphone for $750

If you happen to need a Sony smartphone and an ANC/bluetooth over-ear headphone, what a coincidence, among the Day #2 Prime Deals you can get a combo from Amazon actual that has the Sony WH-1000X M3 with the SONY Xperia 1 for $750 with free US shipping.

The Xperia 1 smartphone is factory unlocked with USA warranty, with a 6.5″ OLED 21:9 4K display, 128GB UFS 2.1 on-board storage, Gorilla Glass 6, IP65/68, dual SIM hybrid, Snapdragon 855, 6GB RAM, microSDXC slot, no headphone jack but bluetooth 5.0 with apt-X HD, released May 2019. The WH-1000X M3 is now the previous generation model, a closed-back over-ear with ANC and bluetooth.

Speaking of this line of headphones, the latest model, the WH-1000X M4 is also on offer at Best Buy daily deals for $298 with a $25 Best Buy gift card as a bonus… The same offer continues at Amazon Prime Days

Starts Wedn 12:30pm ET: Shure KSE1500 (or KSE1200) Electrostatic Earphone System

Wednesday is Day #2 of the Amazon USA Prime Day and sometimes it does pay to dig through the “Upcoming” lightning deals, because what a surprise for audiophiles! Starting on Wednesday 10/14/20 at 1230pm eastern time, they will have a lightning deal on the new condition Shure KSE1500 Electrostatic Earphone System. The price before the sale is $2999.

This is not a Prime-only deal, but it is a Prime Early Access, which means Prime members can buy it at 12:30pm ET at the sale price, while non-Prime-members can buy it starting at 1pm ET. I doubt something so niche within a niche will sell out within half an hour, so you should have plenty of time to get it if you are not a Prime member.

BUT if you are worried, you can start a 30-day Free Prime Trial and buy it right away when it goes live…

Note that on the same listing there’s the KSE1200 which has a price of $1999 before the sale. Sometimes a lightning deal teaser shows the “root” item of a multi-item listing, instead of the item that will be on sale.

In other words, the KSE1500 will most likely be the one on sale, but there’s also a chance it will be the KSE1200, and an even smaller chance that it might be both…

Note also that the lightning deal teasers do not say which one will be the seller of the deal. In this case, Amazon actual and marketplace sellers are offering the KSE1500, while the KSE1200 is only offered by a marketplace seller.

Wednesday Schedule at Amazon USA Prime Day #2

Our previous post talking about the Shure KSE electrostatic lightning deal got too long, so I’m having a separate post to outline some of the potentially interesting headphone/audio-related items that are scheduled to go live in the Amazon USA Prime Day #2.

I’m not posting links for each product because this post would take forever to write. You can find all the headphones by filtering the Gold Box / Prime Day lightning deals on the left hand side for “Headphones” or “Electronics”. Electronics is a superset because it also has the various headphones that are listed there but it takes longer to traverse.

Also note that I’m not including below any of the consumer-popular headphone brands such as MPOW, Aukey, TaoTronics, etc…

+ starts 3:40am ET: 1More Stylish dual driver IEMs

+ starts 7:35am ET: 1More Piston Fit in-ears

+ starts 9am ET: 1More Piston Fit neckband bluetooth earphones
+ this just in here, but I won’t be able to unbox it, take pictures and post them by the time the lightning deal goes live 🙂

+ starts 9:05am ET: KZ ZS10 PRO In-Ears
+ the teaser says 20% off
+ the product page already has a $4 off coupon, so it’s a good idea to clip the coupon to your Amazon account (sounds complicated, but you just click on the empty little square preceding the offer text) as soon as possible
+ price before the sale $49 – $4 off coupon = $45
+ HOWEVER, there are multiple options on the listing (colors, with/without microphone) so it is not guaranteed that the lightning deal will be on the variant that is shown above; you will know for sure when it actually goes live

+ starts 9:45am ET: JVC Flats lightweight on-ears

+ starts 1pm ET: Shure KSE1500 Electrostatic Earphone System

+ starts 3:55pm ET: Tribit QuietPlus Active Noise Cancelling Headphones
+ this has a $20 off clip coupon on the listing; add it to your account, these are often (but not always) stackable with the lightning deal discount

+ starts 4pm ET: Philips Performance PH805 bluetooth over ears
+ price before sale $149

+ also through the day three Edifier speakers and a KEiiD stereo shelf system

Shure AONIC 50 BT/ANC Over-Ears for $299

The Prime Day party continues with Shure, their AONIC 50 bluetooth and ANC combo closed-back over-ear headphones are a Prime day lightning deal going for $299 at Amazon actual

Speaking of which, good for a very limited time only is the new condition Shure SE-425-CL in-ears going for $188 with free US shipping. As of the time of writing they are 59% claimed…

UPDATE: also participating in the promotion are various KZ in-ears at everyone’s favorite Chi-Fi prices 🙂

[DEAD] EU deal: Open Over-Ear Philips X2HR/00 for 112 euro

UPDATE: as of 10/14/20 recheck, this offer is dead in that the lowest price shown is $200~ and Amazon’s own offering is gone, so there is some hope it may return if it got pulled for some reason. The fact that Amazon’s own price hasn’t gone up is a little bit hopeful 🙂

Philips has “reactivated” as they have also launched the X3 which currently goes for $250 at Amazon USA, but if you are looking for the previous generation X2HR, it goes for 113 euro at Amazon Germany

The 112 euro is an “organic” price, it is not a Prime day deal, so anyone can buy it…

Philips SHP-9600 Open Over-Ears for $103 for Primes

If you are dying to try out the new Philips SHP-9600 [yes, the follow-up to the legendary 9500], and if you are a Prime member [or willing to start a new 30-day free trial] they are offering the new condition SHP-9600 over-ears for $103 with free US shipping thanks to a Prime-only discount…

On the other hand, if you are not sold on the new model and must needs get the previous generation, the SHP-9500 is sold by a marketplace seller (fulfilled by Amazon) for $80.

We have here at this blog a text and pictures un-boxing of the SHP-9500S, which sadly, though a mistake of my own, I no longer have 🙁

PS: for more Prime Days deals, check our on-going round-up here at this blog…

Used Sabaj D2 DAC/amp for $28 [NEW for 34 euro]

This is a general purpose “organic” deal, not a Prime deal, so anyone can get it. Furthermore this is mixed USA/EU, so please do pay attention to the location of each item mentioned below…

If you are in (or shopping from) the Amazon USA, Amazon Warehouse Deals actual has in “Used – Like New” condition the Sabaj D2 DAC/amp for $28 with free US shipping. This is in the silver-black color scheme. The new condition price is $42 in either color scheme.

As of the time of writing, it averages 4.2 out of 5 based on 55 ratings at Amazon USA, and 3.9 out of 5 based on 35 ratings at Amazon Germany [mayhaps those East Germany gymnastics judges are audiophiles as well?].

USED: EU Prime Days: 20% off select items Warehouse Deals

Prime Day 2020 is well under way in the European Union and if you are fond of fishing for good used deals, AND if you are a Prime member (or don’t mind starting a free 30-day trial), a number of the European Amazons are offering 20% off the current used prices of gear that are sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals (not by the marketplace/3rd-party sellers over there).

Here’s an example of the offer at Amazon Germany. You can find the offer in the other EU Amazons by going to their Warehouse Deals pages…

EU: Focal Spark In-Ears for 19 euro

This is not a Prime Deal, anyone can buy it, I run into it while surfing around looking for Prime Day deals. Illel Hifi of Paris through Amazon France is offering the silver color scheme of the Focal Spark in-ears in new condition for 19 euro. The other colors go for more.

Headphones invade Amazon UK Prime Day deals (HD599 SE, NW-A55L, M50X, MSR7B, AKG, Etc)

If you can shop favorably from Amazon UK [remember, for those in the EU, the Brexit shopping changes will come in 2021, so you can still get them now as before], the first day of Prime Day 2020 is up and running at Amazon UK and it has plenty of headphone offers and music-related headphones, including:

DAPs
+ Sony Walkman NW-A55L digital audio player for 129 GBP in four (!) color schemes
