Monday: Alesis pair, NuForce TW [Heads Up: Tuesday Sennheiser HD 2.30G]

Two audio related daily deals can be found at B&H Photo for Monday September 7 in 2020 as follows:

+ NuForce BE Free8 truly-wireless for $20

+ Alesis Elevate 3 Mark II studio monitor pair (20W, 3″ two-way, Active) for $50

Not headphone-headphones but earmuff-headphones are among the Monday Gold Box (USA edition) where they have Walker’s Razor Slim passive earmuffs ($19 to $40) and electronic Game Ear Razor Slim ($32 to $88)…

Meanwhile in their teaser for Tuesday, the NewEGG daily deals tease they’ll have a daily deal (on Tuesday, not today) on the Sennheiser HD 2.30G closed-back on-ears. The teaser shows the white “Galaxy” version but other colors/options may also be on sale. It’s hard to tell now because the promotion is not active…

Wedn: AT bluetooth earphones, Artiste non-BT Wireless, Galaxy Buds, Etc

No big time products in the Wednesday July 29 (2020) daily deals but more of the utilitarian kind as follows:

+ at the Best Buy dailies there’s the refurbished Samsung Galaxy Buds truly-wireless going for $60 [Geek Stink Breath certified)

Sunday: JBL, Yamaha, TCL, 1-Year Tidal, Etc

Sunday brings us some audio-related action in the major online retailer daily deals…

We start with New York’s B&H Photo where two name-brand audio products are on sale:

+ JBL EON612 Two-Way 12″ 1000W Powered Portable PA Speaker with Bluetooth Control for $250 after automatically-applied in-cart coupon

+ Yamaha PX3 Stereo Power Amplifier (300W at 8 Ohms) for $300 after automatically-applied in-cart coupon

A day without a headphone at the NewEgg dailies is rare, today they have the new condition JBL LIVE 650-BT-NC, which as the code-names suggest is bluetooth with active noise-cancelling, going for $100 after entering the promo code shown over there…

It’s music subscription time at the Best Buy deals du jour, where $100 gets you a 1-year subscription to TIDAL. This will automatically renew at the $120/year rate for the following year(s) ~ unless you cancel it…

But that’s not all. There’s also some headphone action. TCL is making its big power play these days, and into headphones they have also dived into, and their MTR-0100-BT neckband-style bluetooth earphones go for $18. But apparently they haven’t invested in a humanly-readable product naming scheme 🙂

And for the Europeanly-inclined, Amazon Germany is offering the new condition LETSCOM truly wireless, the Airpod-style with the hanging legs, for 21 euro…

Various audio offers at B&H Mega DealZone

New York’s B&H Photo has daily daily-deals. Every few months they have a big event where most of their daily deals return, but all together as a big MEGA DEAL-ZONE. So if you missed any of these offers when they were the deal of the day, this is your chance at them once again…

It is only available in black. It has NFC. Note that this is part of their “Extra Bass” line, so opera, classical, audiophile jazz, etc you may not like the “transformation” of the music with these 🙂

NewEGG seems to have an unwritten rule of one headphone offer per day at their daily deals and Wednesday’s offer is the new condition Pioneer SE-MJ-553-BT-R closed-back on-ear bluetooths in the red color scheme going for $26 with free US shipping…

Last but not least, for the vinyl junkies or player collectors, one of the B&H Photo daily deals is the new condition Thorens TD 201 manual 2-speed turntable with built-in amp going for $250. It is available in two color options [device color, not sound coloration color!]…

SHOCK! did you notice something today? All these offers and not a single “truly wireless” earphone. There is hope for the audio world after all 🙂

Good until Thursday at 11:59pm eastern time [or earlier if the bundle sells out], New York’s finest B&H Photo is offering this Audio Technica Turnable + Bluetooth Speaker bundle for $99 with free US shipping.

The turntable is the good old AT-LP60BK-BT in the black color scheme, a well-regarded model averaging 4.5 (out of 28 customer reviews) at B&H and 4.2 out of 5 (based on nearly 4400 customer reviews at amazon.com)…

The turntable includes two RCA cables and a replacement stylus. It has Line and Phono outputs and of course a “bluetooth output”

The bundle includes a bluetooth speaker as well. There is a picture of the round top-buttoned bluetooth speaker but not much in the way of details other than it has 10W output, has a 1/8″ input, and a microSD slot as well.

EU: Sony CMT-SBT20B Micro System for 57 euro

And now something old school. If you don’t need a full audiophile hifi system setup but still have use for *GASP* speakers, this new condition Sony CMT-SBT20B is on sale for 57 euro at Amazon Germany by Amazon.de actual. You can buy up to three per customer at the sale price. Free shipping within Germany comes in handy because this is a 4.6kg box, so international shipping is gonna cost…

For just that, you get two speakers, and the main box which includes CD playback (with a tray, not a top loader), and USB input (eg flash drives) and bluetooth audio and of course 3.5mm audio input. There’s also NFC (pairing can be an exercise in frustration if the airwaves are congested in the area where you are trying to pair things) and a good old FM radio tuner to boot.

BREAKING! Monoprice launches Monolith High-End Cassette Tape systems

UPDATE: April 3 (2019): with magic cables and centuries-long burn-ins, it may be a good idea to expicitly point out that this had been an April Fool’s Day joke by Monoprice for 2019 🙂

It is quite trend on Bandcamp, especially among lo-fi and noise-pop style bands to have their music not only available in digital, CD and vinyl BUT also a cassette tape.

So perhaps it is not surprise that today, April 1 (2019) Monoprice decided to reveal their brand new Monolith Cassette Tape series of audio products. As of the time of writing, there are three products with prices ranging from $200 to $1300.

The new products are doing very well in the initial reviews just posted at the Monoprice website 🙂

So if you are comparing prices, factor all these benefits in the price as well. For example, there are 45 items in the Over-Ears category
