20% off coupon at Monoprice (expires 7/4/23)

If you are interested in checking out some of Monoprice’s headphones or DAC/amps or stock up on audio cables and other consumables, or most of the other items they sale, the Monoprice website is having a 4th of July coupon promotion!

Coupon MPS20 gets you 20% off the vast majority of products on their website. Some products are excluded, they even made a list of exclusions.

You can search for headphones or DAC/amps, or follow the categories and sub-categories over there to find what you want/need. Or search for Monolith, but do note that some of the Monolith products are not coupon-eligible [you can see them at the aforelinked list].

If you are fond of shopping refurbished and open-box products, they have some headphone-related options there as well!

And don’t forget to stock up on cables!

What’s even better, the coupon can be used three times per customer during this promotion. Each use has a maximum coupon-discount of $2000 per order. The coupon cannot be combined with other coupons!

Have fun Mono-shopping 🙂
