we find good deals for you!
Fan of carbon fiber headphones? The Phiaton Fusion MS 430 are now down to $55 with free shipping, from a marketplace seller with the order fulfilled by Amazon actual. These fold and have a detachable cable with “ambidexterous inputs” (you can put the cable on either side). They also come with a case. Here’s a cutaway view of them – JPEG file.
PS: I spent some quality time at Amazon Warehouse Deals, I will be posting more used deals in the next few hours as I process them…
Monoprice has another headphone and earphone sale and at the bottom of the sale, they have replacement earpads for the now semi-legendary 8323 headphones. The replacement earpads are available in four different colors (red, white, grey and the default white) and go for $4.25 each.
What is frustrating with Monoprice is that their free shipping promotions are moving targets which is probably causing them to lose potential impulse purchases.
Studio and DJs get most of the headphone hype, but drummers too have some dedicated headphones and one such, is a featured eBay Deals, in new condition, sold by Focus Camera’s eBay store, it is the Beyerdynamic DT770 M 80 (80ohm) offered for $110 with free shipping with a limit of five per buyer.
