PS: the earbud looking thing on the left side of the first gallery picture there is actually the outer shell. Both earheads are like the one on the right side. It can be confusing if you never saw these before. No mic/remote.

They may be able for free store pickup if any of your local stores have them. Conventional shipping to your home is free with an order of $50 or more. Offer ends 8/1/15.

PS: they call them earbuds, they are a bit in-ears, but not quiet – perhaps one could call them very shallow in-ears, since they don’t go that much. They average 3.2 out of 5 based on over 7800 customer reviews at amazon.

iFrogz plugz mobile for $5 w/free shipping

If you like free shipping and are looking for a basic earbud as a car or bag throwaround or emergency backup, the iFrogz plugz mobile earbuds in the white or blue color schemes are on sale for $5 with free shipping at Zagg.com.

They have a mic and remote with wheel volume control (judging by the picture there). You also get four eartip sizes. IF you are a Rewards member, you get free shipping. Otherwise you can get them shipped to your local Staples store for free. They are only available online, so there’s no store pickup option.

Needless to say, don’t throw away your CIEMs 😉 These are perhaps the type of things you keep in the car or the office or the backpack or hand them off to house guests so they won’t raid your collection 🙂

Massdrop: Sony Z7, PHA-3, TTpod T2, etc

A new quartet of offers were added today at members-only Massdrop. As of the time of writing, none of them are fully unlocked, but they have seven days to go, plenty of time for the deals to pickup momentum and reach their lowest price possible (= fully unlocked in their lingo). They are:

Motorola S11-Flex HD Bluetooth Headset for $34.99

The Amazon Gold Box deal of the day for Saturday 7/18/15 is the new condition Motorola S11-Flex HD Bluetooth Headset (solid frame, behind the neck) for $34.99. You can buy as many as you like. Woot is the seller of record but the order is fulfilled by Amazon.com, so you get the usual free 2-day Prime shipping or with a $35+ order. Which is why the $34.99 price is important, because you have to buy something else, or at least two of these for free shipping if you are not a Prime member. These average 3.5 out of 5 based on over 1300 customer reviews. They also have 220+ questions answered by other amazon.com customers. The offer ends by 3am ET on Sunday or earlier if they sell out.

Since Monoprice rarely offers free shipping on their website, and they have them on sale at the same time, this is a good opportunity to scoop them up. If nothing else, for $18, the Monoprice 8323 gives you a frame of reference when participating or reading various forum discussions.

July 12-18: 20% off entry-level Philips headphones

At Staples brick and mortar stores, for the week of July 12-18, they are having a 20% off sale on Philips headphones and earphones. They typically carry entry-level models, so don’t get too excited, there won’t be any X1 or X2. The price range shown in the Weekly Ad is for regular prices ranging from $10 to $50. So definitely not X1/X2. They probably have mostly earphones with occasional over/on-ear or bluetooth, but this may vary by store and region.

Bose SoundTrue Semi In-Ears (iOS) for $117

Shhhh! Don’t let the audiophiles see this! The Bose SoundTrue semi in-ears with buttons for iOS devices are currently on sale for $117 with free shipping at Amazon.com. These are on the same product page as the Freestyle models, so pay attention if you are changing the OS or color-scheme options over there. These are neither classic earbuds not in-ears. They have a speaker-protrusion that crosses the earhole plane (not a scientific term) but it does not create a seal. Speaking of Bose, a number of other items in their line-up are discounted at authorized dealers with the Dads and Grads season, including their QC20i ANC in-ears going for $250 (in-cable rechargeable li-ion battery).

Add-On Headphones: Koss KPH7 for $4.14, Panasonic RPH-JE-120 for $5

The price is right but the catch of these offers is that they are part of Amazon’s Add-On Program, which means you must place an order of $25 or more in order to buy them. The restriction applies to everyone, including Prime members. You can use any combination of eligible physical products to get to $25+ (sold or fulfilled by Amazon). Both the prices and the Add-On status of products can change. These are as of the time of writing of this post.

On the featherweight on-ears front, the good old Koss KPH7 on-ears in the black color scheme go for $4.14 per pair, with a limit of five per shopping cart. The other five color options currently go for $6+. They average 3.9 out of 5 based on 320+ customer reviews. Note these, just like the Panasonic HT-21 are open and leak music!

On the earbuds front, the green color scheme of the Panasonic RP-HJE-120 goes for $4.99 per pair, with a limit of five per customer. If you max out on five of these, you are still $0.05 short of reaching the $25+ minimum. They average 4.4 out of 5 based on over twenty thousand (!) customer reviews.

Used MEElectronics Sport-Fi M6 for $8

The sporty MEelectronics Sport-Fi M6 are available just under $8 in the black color scheme in “Used – Like New” condition by Amazon Warehouse Deals. The other colors, also used, go for $8.50 or more.
