Heads up: Massdrop 10 Year Anniversary Sale on Tue & Wedn

If you are a fan of some of the headphones sold at Massdrop, we have a heads-up alert for you! They are planning their 10-Year anniversary sale on Tuesday 10/11/22 and Wednesday 10/12/22!

The sale will include, among others:

+ Sennheiser PC 37X gaming headset for $69

+ Hifiman HE-4XX for $129

+ Hifiman HE-R7DX for $79

+ more sale items will be revealed per the link above
+ Massdrop is in the pacific time zone (Los Angeles time)

Koss Porta PRO X down to $29 [and IN-STOCK]

The headphone hobby can be prohibitively expensive for many people, but there are exceptions! One such exception is right here right now! The Massdrop variant of the Koss Porta PRO, the “X”, the old-school retro open-back on-ears is back in-stock at Massdrop and it’s on sale for $29! With the legendary KOSS limited lifetime warranty!

Shipping is free with orders over $125. Five of these can get you to free shipping. Give them as gifts, trade them, keep an extra pair for work, and so on!

These are an “in-stock drop”, so they ship in two business days after purchase. It’s not the “legendary” Massdrop long wait!

I have this but I haven’t prepared the unboxing post yet. I haven’t posted a headphone unboxing in two years. I’m a very productive audiophool blogger 🙂

Saturday: Skullcandy earphones, $7 to $17

One of the Saturday 10/8/22 Woot daily deals is a sale on new condition Skullcandy earphones, one wired, two necklace-style bluetooth, and one truly-wireless, ranging in price from $7 to $17 per pair. They come with a 1-year Skullcandy warranty. Sale ends at 11:59pm central time or earlier if sold out.

PS: in typical Woot fashion, things that don’t sell out, they often get re-cycled in future Woot daily deals or Woot Plus or Woot-OFF sales…
