A handful of “fulfilled by Amazon” marketplace sellers appear to be in a price war (human or machine controlled price war, I do not know) on the new condition A-Audio A01 Closed-Back over/on-ears The lowest price is now $30, fulfilled by Amazon, so if you are a Prime member, you get free 2-day shipping and Amazon customer service, which is an extra layer of protection when buying from marketplace sellers, since the products are under Amazon’s control (in their facilities/warehouses), so if there are any issues or shenanigans, Amazon will fix it, you don’t have to hope rando-seller is honest.
NOTE: there are multiple different models on the same Amazon product page. The ones on sale for $30 are the A01, not to be confused with the A02 Legacy or the A11 Lyric which go for much more. They have detachable cable (either side), and come with a luxury travel case and cable with mic/remote.
I am not quite sure whether the A01 is over-ear or on-ear. The Amazon page is confused and so is the A-Audio website which (in addition to the browser security complaints) has a 404 error where the user manuals for the A01 and A02 models should be.
So this is a bit of a higher risk purchase…
PS: you can see a picture of the travel case in gallery picture #4 at Stacksocial.
