Especially of interest to Call of Duty fans, Groupon Goods is offering the Munitio Nines Bullet Earbuds for $40 with free shipping, available in three color schemes (black, gold, silver). As the name suggests, these have a bullet-style shape and design. They are available with an Apple remote/mic and with an Android remote/mic. They come with a 2-year warranty from the manufacturer, and Groupon Goods offers free returns if you don’t like them.

Amazon actual is offering the new condition Panasonic RPHV096K Basic Earbuds (black color scheme) for $3.38 per pair, with a limit of five per customer.

The restriction applies to all, including Prime and PrimeFresh members. These are old-school earbuds, no protrusions that go inside the ear plane. They average 3.6 out of 5 based on 130+ customer reviews. Earbuds are typically a matter of convenience and disposability, not an audiophile-priority purchase.

MEEAudio Bluetooth Sale for Nov-20 at Amazon (three options)

The ever-expanding Amazon Gold Box daily deals for Friday Nov-20-2015 include a trio of MEE Audio (the artist formerly known as ME Electronics) products. On the utilitarian front, the MEE Audio AF18 Bluetooth Sports Earbuds (4.4 out of 5 with 63 customer reviews) go for $23 with a limit of three per customer. There’s only one color scheme. The “sportiness” is achieved by earfins and a button-esque earphone base. It’s easier to look at the many pictures in the product description than me trying to describe it with words 🙂 These can only be used with bluetooth, there’s no 3.5mm input.

Staying with bluetooth but moving to the over-ear basshead category, the MEE audio Air-Fi Rumble, with “Enhanced Bass” in their name to ensure bass heads don’t miss out, are on sale for $40 per pair in either the blue-white or black-red color schemes. Limit three per color per customer. These average 4.4 out of 5 as well but with 170+ customer reviews and has 20 questions answered if you are curious about them.

Samsung Earpods for Galaxy S6, S6 Edge for $7

The earpods (that are totally not cloned after the Apple earpods) that Samsung includes with their Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge smartphones (time flies so fast, these are already “previous generation” phones, it’s crazy, but I’m digressing), are also available on their own, in non-retail packaging, going for $7 per pair at Amazon.com. That’s Amazon’s own price, but they have it as an Add-On item, so you’d need a $25+ order in order to get it.

On the other hand, a couple of marketplace sellers over there are offering it for $7.50~ with free shipping, both of them shipping from somewhere in the State of New York. These earpods average 3.8 out of 5 based on 360+ customer reviews.

Samsung Earpods for Galaxy S6/S6_Edge for $8

BluTek is fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon’s own inventory will be in-stock on September 17 (2015).

Francois et Mimi Bluetooth 4.1 earbuds for $20

Bluetooth earbuds are continuing to go down in price, near the disposable price range if you often lose or break them. Yet another one to join the $20 party is the Francois et Mimi Bluetooth 4.1 going for $20 per pair, sold by a marketplace seller, with the order fulfilled by Amazon.

Monoprice Sale (includes 8323 colorful earpads for $4.25)

What is frustrating with Monoprice is that their free shipping promotions are moving targets which is probably causing them to lose potential impulse purchases.

PS: I haven’t listened to them extensively, but I recall once at a busy/loud coffee house how I could still notice how bad/earbudy they sounded. Then I remembered they were $4 shipped with 3-button remote/mic 🙂

Aug 30 – Sept 5: 20% off various brands at Staples stores

Staples stores have only a small part of a headphone company’s line-up, and obviously they tend to focus on the consumer end of the market.

The sale prices will be factored in, no coupon needed.
