Samsung Galaxy Buds Prime sale: Live for $80, Buds 2 for $100, PRO for $120 [Prime]

And now something more of the utilitarian kind, Samsung truly-wireless, also participating in the Amazon Prime deals of 2022! These are the US version. There’s also International (grey-market) and used and refurbished and dubious options at Amazon at lower prices.

We start with the Buds PRO going for $120 in three color schemes, along with the Urban X.

Then we have the Buds 2 going for $100 in four color schemes.

Next up it’s time for the Buds Live model on sale for $80 in three of the five color schemes.

Shure SRH-1540 Closed Over-Ears for $350 [Prime]

And now a closed-back over-ear wired headphone. The good old Shure SRH-1540 but in new packaging is on sale for $350 with free US shipping as part of the Prime deals of 2022 at Amazon by Amazon

This concludes our mini burst of Prime Deals. I obviously can’t post them all but you can peruse them in three pages of headphone offers for Prime Day 2022.

KZ ZS10 PRO IEMs for $40 [Prime]

Chifi too makes a guest appearance at the 2022 Prime deals with the new condition wired mic/remote KZ ZS10 PRO IEMs with four balanced armatures and one dynamic driver going for $40 with free US shipping.

This is fulfilled by Amazon, which means you can have it in your hands in a matter of hours (depending on how close you are to Prime delivery). Versus buying it from China/Hong-Kong with a much longer delivery wait time.

1More Triple Driver IEMs for $46 [Prime]

Another hype-headphone that (according to some/many) has been overshadowed by chifi is on sale at the Prime deals of 2022. It is the new condition wired 1More Triple Driver going for $46~ with free US shipping, in two color options.

As fate would have it, as of the time of writing it has exactly 11,111 customer ratings. We should get a lottery ticket or something 😉

If electrostatic IEMs is your jam, one of the Prime 2022 offerings is the new condition Shure KSE-1500 Electrostatic IEMs on sale for $2100 with free US shipping. Prime members only as with most of the Prime deals.

PS: I should congratulate myself for resisting the temptation to repeat the utterly annoying line “come on Barbie let’s have an electrostatic party” 😉

Shure SE-215 In-Ears for $80 [Prime]

Once upon a time a shoe-in at the $100-ish IEM recommendations, the Shure SE-215 has been overshadowed by a wave of Chifis.

But if you are still interested in it, it is currently on sale for $80 in various color options in the 3.5mm cable with mic/remote at Amazon as part of the Prime Deals of 2022.

Sennheiser HD 599 SE Open Over-Ears for $100 [Prime]

Sony WH-1000X M4 ANC/BT Over-Ears for $228 [Prime]

Sony too is in the Prime Deals game with the new condition closed-back over-ear WH-1000X M4 ANC/BT headphones on sale for $228 with free US shipping, sold and shipped by Amazon actual, available in two color options.

Keep in mind the X4 is no longer the latest model. The WH-1000X M5 was recently released but it goes for almost twice (!!!) as much, currently at $400.

SPEAKING of Sony, but not part of the Prime deals, marketplace seller “Video & Audio Center” is offering the black color scheme of the ANC/BT closed-back over-ear WH-CH710N headphones for $68. Limited quantities. This is sold and shipped by the marketplace seller, not Amazon herself.
