Friday is over and so are its lightning deal offerings…
AmazonBasics 5-in-1 Audio Splitter for $7
Belkin is probably the most well known among the little unpowered 5-in-1 audio splitter, but now they have name-brand recognition competition from none other than the BORG of house branding, AmazonBasics! They recently launched eight different colors of a 5 in 1 unpowered audio splitter with seven of the eight colors currently going for $7 each. They average 4.6 out of 5 based on 62 customer reviews.
These are unpowered, so the audio is affected by which headphones you connect to (based on the laws of physics, not magic). You can try it if you don’t believe me 🙂
Rooth C&P Earplugs for $9 to $18 plus S&H [MD]
Hearing protection may not be as exciting as a new pair of headphones or a new DAP or a new DAC/amp, but music appreciation depends on hearing, so this is of utilitarian interest if nothing else…
Offered back on once again, unlocked at Massdrop is the new condition Rooth C&P Earplugs for $18 plus shipping.

Vivian Acrylic Headphone Stand for $9
The new condition Vivian Acrylic Headphone Stand is currently available in either the black or the clear color scheme for $9, sold by a marketplace seller with the order fulfilled by Amazon. This is not a lightning deal.
I bought the clear color scheme to make blog-pictures of headphones more useful (you can see more of the headphone body), and I just posted our customary Text and Pictures Unboxing. A review is coming in a couple of weeks or so.
We have eight pictures in the unboxing! The one below shows the over-ear Philips SHP-9500S mounted on it, the picture taken from above. The SHP9500S headband is 1.5 inches wide. There’s plenty of room left [measurements and such will be in the upcoming review!]:
PS: speaking of unboxings, I should have an unboxing of the Tennmak PRO in-ears late tomorrow, assuming it arrives as scheduled.
Repurpose this: K-Cup Drawer for Earphones and Accessories
And now another wild idea from our “Repurposing Department”. If you like to store your earphones and their assorted accessories in a drawer-style configuration, here’s a repurposing idea: use the storage drawers for K-cups! You can get a very estimate of the available space based on the size of a K-cup.
For example, this $13 Mind Reader Anchor Triple Drawer has three drawers. Each drawer holds 12 K-Cups, in rows of two. So you know the size of the drawer, it is two K-Cups wide, six K-Cups deep, and one K-Cup tall. They have different colors/styles on the same listing. Some of them include a free basic milk frother. Do not use that to change the sound signature of your headphones 😉
I can’t tell from the picture whether these things are stackable. They are intended to hold K-Cup machines, so they should be more than strong enough to hold a headphone stand with heavy headphones on it.
Some DAPS can also fit inside. For example, the Fiio X1 DAP is less than two K-Cups wide, less than one K-Cup tall, and less than three K-Cups deep.
PS: all apologies to coffee purists for subjecting you to and/or triggering you with K-Cup mentions 🙂
3ft Monoprice MIDI Cable (5-pin DIN) for $0.92
If you are planning an Amazon order, this is something to append to your order. The new condition 3-foot Monoprice MIDI Cable with 5 Pin DIN Plug (Black, model 108532) is currently on sale for $0.92 by Amazon actual. You can buy as many as you like but this is an Add-ON item, so your order total must be $25+ regardless of Prime membership status.
Speaking of Add-On items, this 3.3 foot C2G/Cables to Go USB Extension Cable is on sale for $1.67. This is a USB 2.0 cable, male on one side, female on the other (thus, an extension cable). The 2 meter version (6.6ft) goes for $3 and the 3 meter (9.84 ft) goes for $2.78.
All the items mentioned in this post are Add-ONs but they have no purchase quantity limits, so you can get to $25+ by any combination of the above cables.
