Good until 3:10pm ET today, the Brainwavz Truss under desk dual headphone hanger is on a lightning deal for $11 with free shipping (for Prime members; or with a $25+ order) sold by Brainwavz with the order fulfilled by Amazon. It averages 4.8 out of 5 based on 360+ customer reviews.
The HTC 10 got good marks for its audio performance, so if you are interested in using it as a DAP, and you are comfortable buying higher risk used smartphones, it is offered in B-stock USED condition for $200 by eBay seller BidAllies (98.2%, New Jersey).
Coupon PSCHOOL20 drops the price by 20% off, making it $160. The coupon expires 8/17/17 at 3am ET.
This has a microSD slot, and 4GB of RAM, and powered by the Snapdragon 820. The HTC 10 is the last major phone from HTC to have a 3.5mm headphone jack. The newer HTC flagships are without a headphone jack.

Tuesday’s offers expired, but fear not if you missed it ~ Brainwavz products are recurring at the Gold Box…
And now to … audio fashion! More specifically, for tube fans! The “”Happiness is a Warm Tube” t-shirt is available in three different colors and various Men and Women sizes for $13 each, sold and shipped by Amazon actual, so Prime members get it in about two days. Since this is filed under clothing, it is eligible for Free Returns if you don’t like it.
Earpad sale! The Shure HPAEC440 Replacement Ear Cushions are on sale in new condition for the very specific price of $7.09 with free shipping by Adorama on eBay and Adorama directly.
If you are planning to use them with other headphones, check measurements, reviews and such first. One detailed Amazon customer review says these are a great fit for the Sony V6 and MDR-7506.
Keep in mind all Shure earpads are grouped together in the Amazon listing, so if you are reading reviews and answered-questions, make sure they are referring to this particular model (HPAEC440) and not one of the other ten (!).

Thursday’s lightning offerings have expired as Thursday is now gone, into the history books and the rear view mirror of history 🙂
The price of the cable remains 99c, but the free shipping promotion ended. So strategically, this now is best to be added to a larger order where it’s so small and lightweight it won’t affect the S&H fee much (if any)…

If you want to decorate your V-Moda Crossfade On-Ears with different color shields, and don’t want to break the bank with new condition pricing, and want to put your Prime membership to work (or you are planning a larger purchase to get free S&H as a non-Prime member), then…
… to the Amazon Warehouse Deals we go where a variety of Used V-Moda Crossfade On-Ear Metal Shields are on sale going for $8+ depending on color. Red is $8.44, Deep Purple is $8.64, Gold is $10.38, etc. The link in this paragraph shows the lowest price per color.

Another one of the Prime Day Deals is a 20% off IN-CART sales on a variety of well-known Music Instruments and Gear. Add to cart to see the sale price. More on these as I find time to go through them…

Also on sale, online and in-store for $25 at Staples.com. Free shipping depends on your Reward membership status and/or order total. You can also select store pickup if you want to avoid a shipping fee.
We have a useful text and pictures unboxing here, but no review yet 🙂 This is what’s included in the box, so in terms of reusable accessories, you get a yellow interconnect (two ring / three pole), a microUSB to USB cable, and a USB AC charging head.

This is an organic sale, not part of the daily lightning deals. The new condition Brainwavz Krudul Duo Earphone Storage Management System Hanger is currently on sale for $9 each, by the Brainwavz Amazon store, with the order fulfiled by Amazon, so if you are a Prime member, you get this with free 2-day shipping (shhhh, don’t tell them, it’s not an Add-ON item!).
Non-Prime members have a $25+ threshold (it appears that perhaps Amazon maybe adjusting the $25+/$35+ threshold for non-Prime members based on different items. This one is easier to ship free since it’s a tiny little thing).
You can buy as many as you like. Expiration date is unknown since it’s not a lightning deal. It averages 4.3 out of 5 based on ten customer reviews.
On the “Phones as DAPs” front, the Nokia 6 is finally coming to the US market (with Google PLAY access and USA warranty), July 10 is the estimate, and Amazon is accepting pre-orders for $230 in the Standard version for $180 in the Prime Exclusive With Ads version.
GSM Arena reviewed the Chinese version a couple of months ago, and found the headphone output “impressively clean”. It takes microSD cards and runs Android 7.1, so you have flexibility there.

The official Hifiman Amazon store is offering new condition Velour Earpads for the HE-series of headphones for $10 with free shipping each through Amazon. They are not Prime eligible, but everyone gets free shipping. As of the time of writing, 12 units are available. They average 4.1 out of 5 based on 33 customer reviews, and they have 14 questions answered, both good places to check how well they fit your headphones of interest.
Speaking of Hifiman, their sale continues, check under the Hifiman posts. I will post a “deal summary” type of a post of surviving deals later today.
One of the recent flagship smartphone that has been flying under the radar but it is doing quite well audio-wise is the HTC 10. If you are interested in getting this as a phone or as a phone-DAP, it is currently on sale with a special promotion at Sprint: you can either buy it outright for $240, or sign up for a 24-month $10 per month installment plan.
It has 4GB RAM, 32GB on-board, and a microSD slot that supports up to a theoretical 2TB microSD card, so plenty of space for music. The battery is embedded, so you have to use external battery packs for uninterrupted playback. It is running Android 7.
There are quite a few reviews of this with some focus on the audio performance including Android Ad Central and GSM Arena (bottom half of this page).

And now some lightweight reading 🙂 The 511-page “The Technology of Binaural Listening (Modern Acoustics and Signal Processing)” (March 2013) in hardcover is on sale for $106~ by Amazon actual. A couple of sub-90% marketplace sellers have it for under $100 shipped, but they are not Prime eligible. The sale is such that the used prices are higher than the new condition prices. The hardcover is lower than the Kindle even.
There are two ways to look inside at the above Amazon page. The Kindle sample shows the first paper of the book (“Introduction to Binaural Processing”), while the “Look Inside” on the hardcover shows random pages throughout the book. The combination of the two can help you get a pretty good feel on whether this is something you’d be interested in.
A total of 18 research papers are included. This is not a consumer-facing book.
