20% off Amazon Warehouse Deals with coupon (PRIME ONLY)

If you are an Amazon Prime member, coupon code WDEARLY or WDEARLY20 (I forgot which one works) gets you 20% off Used purchases at Amazon Warehouse Deals. From the tests I made by putting things in the shopping cart, the coupon only works for items sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) actual, not for items sold by marketplace sellers through AWD. Search for your headphones of interest there, or browse by category.

I’ll post additional posts if I find any crazy things that got discounted while multi-tasking other things. You can also check the previous Used posts here to see if any of them would be even more tempting with the coupon.

UPDATE: the coupon works for multiple items in your shopping cart, it’s not one item per customer!

PS: The coupon expires by Prime Day… I don’t know when the coupon expires…

Free Beats Solo 2 Bluetooth On-Ears with select Mac purchases

Here’s one tangible outcome of the Beats purchase by Apple, free Beats! As part of their Back to School promotions (I guess it’s never too early to start those), Apple is offering a free pair of Beats Solo 2 Bluetooth On-Ears with the purchase of select Macs (desktops or laptops). Meanwhile select iPads get a free pair of Powerbeats 2 bluetooth earphones.

This happens in the shopping cart when you add both the eligible device and the eligible headphones. The shopping cart deducts the price of the headphone making it free. If you get an eligible iPad, you can instead get the Solo 2 bluetooth on-ears but you have to pay an extra $100 out of your own pocket (instead of getting the Powerbeats earphones for FREE). Details at the promotional Apple page.

Sony MDR-S70AP Foldable On-Ears for $20

The Sony MDR-S70AP foldable on-ears, in the white-brown color scheme, are currently going for $20 by a marketplace seller with the order fulfilled by Amazon so they are Prime eligible. Not a lot of information is available on these. They might be a Japan-only product that found its way to an Amazon warehouse.

PS: the earpads remind me of the “telephone receiver” style, eg in Shure SRH 144/145.

In-Stock Now: Onkyo Iron Maiden Official On-Ears for $299

One of the two, OneCall, is also offering the same item through their eBay store. These headphones average 4.1 out of 5 based on 43 customer reviews at Amazon.

Used Beyerdynamic DT 1770 for $417+ [Open Box for $460+]

The Beyerdynamic PRO 1770 closed-back Studio headphones currently go for $600 in new condition at authorized dealers (be VERY VERY VERY careful when you see iffy listings offering them for $300), but if you want to save some, you can get them in used condition starting at “Used – Good” for $417 and “Used – Very Good” for $444~ at Amazon Warehouse Deals. There are many listings of “Very Good” so there’s a reasonable chance of supply putting pressure on future prices.

Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Over-Ears (Ivory) for $236 Apple or $259 Android

If you are interested in the second generation of the closed-back over-ear Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 headphones, and you like (or do not object) to the Ivory color-scheme, it is currently on sale for $236 in the Apple (iOS) version and $259 in the Galaxy (Android) version, with a limit of five each per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual.

When they say iOS/Android, they mean the cables. The headphones are the same, the type of cable determines what functions work with each OS type (eg Volume, Play, etc). You can buy cables separate or use cables from other devices. While iOS is certain to work with Apple’s own iOS devices, there’s still some YMMV on the Android front since many manufacturers are doing many things their own way 🙂
