Sennheiser HD 280 + JBL J22a for $85 w/free s&h
This is a bit of an unusual deal in that headphones from a different manufacturer are included for free with the purchase of a headphone from another, but regardless, if you can use them, why not? Let’s start from the beginning…
NewEgg has a new 48 hour sale for their e-mail newsletter subscribers. Some offers require promo codes, such as the one we are about to mention:
Promo code EMCAXNK22 gets you the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro studio headphones (closed-back, over-ear) for $85 with free shipping, and with that, you will also automatically receive for FREE the JBL J22A In-Ears. The promo code brings the price down from $100 to $85.
The “A” in the JBL J22A name stands for Android (button/mic), not MFI.This can be confused because Apple and Android start with an “A” and in the internet era almost everything [exaggeration] has an “i” in its name, not just MFi products (made for iPads/iPhones/iPods).
These offers end 11:59pm pacific time on 9/22/2015 or earlier if they sell out.
