Samson SR-80B Semi-Open Over-Ears for $25 w/FS {ends Sat PM}

Budget semi-open action at the B&H Photo daily deals and this offer runs until 4/10/21 at 11:59pm eastern or earlier if sold-out. It is the new condition semi-open wired over-ears that is the blue-black color scheme of the Samson SR-850B going for $25 with free US shipping. Only this color scheme is on sale. Up to six pairs per customer at the sale price…

This is one that can be called a studio headphone, a very basic one without modern amenities, but look at the price 🙂

As of the time of writing it averages 4.5 out of 5 based on 62 customer reviews over there, and 4.6 out of 5 based on 4100+ ratings at Amazon…

And as fate would have it, we have a text and pictures unboxing of the original color scheme. The cable is not detachable…

I no longer have it, so there’s no review planned (unless I get it or borrow it again)…

Thursday: Tribit FlyBuds 3 (100 hour) truly-wireless for $29 [limit 5]

One brand that is scoring some points on the budget front is Tribit, and they are one of the Amazon USA Gold Box deals of the day good until Thursday 4/8/21 at 11:59pm pacific time…

Oh, what’s the sale? It’s not tribbles, it’s Tribit bluetooths. A total of 9 options are available including:

+ QuietPlus ANC over-ears for $56

+ two airpod-style truly wireless for $40 to $56

+ and the big star of the show/sale, the Tribit FlyBuds 3 with a charging case that promises 100 hours (!) of playback time. Plus it can be used as a small powerbank (more of interest to smaller DAPs and DACs, today’s smartphones are very hungry for 2600 mAh). The sale price is a very solid $29 with up to five per customers…

As of the time of writing these average 4.5 out of 5 based on 3100+ customer ratings. They are IPX8, bluetooth 5 with low latency, and three sizes of earfins (in addition to the six eartip options). They also promise pairing the moment you open the case, which if working so, simplifies truly-wireless life.

I am planning to buy the FlyBuds 3, so at some point in the future expect an unboxing and review post…
