Beyerdynamic DT-880 Pro (250omh) + Tascam 22WL for $300

Back to eBay, one of the featured offers over there is a new condition bundle, the Beyerdynamic DT-880 Pro (250omh) plus Tascam DR-22WL for $300 with free shipping by Adorama on eBay. Limit five per customer.

The “ohmage” is not mentioned in the listing title but you can find it in the product description, for example, the product code BDDT880P250K and the specifications “Nominal impedance: 250Ohms per cartridge”.

The headphones on their own currently go for $265 at amazon.com, so this bundle makes sense if you have use for the Tascam or you want to trade it or gift it or ebay it.

PS: the DT-880 are semi-open. The 770 are closed and the 990 are open. An easy way to remember this without memorizing the numbers, the 880 is in-between, just like a semi-closed/semi-open headphone is in-between closed and open 🙂

Massdrop: ZMF Master Headphones as low as $300

The ZMF Master Headphones can drop as low as $300 (with shipping included) at Massdrop. There are two versions, one more balanced, one more bassy/warmer. You can select which one at checkout, along with which cable you prefer (XLR or 1/4″ or 1/8″). There is a maximum of fifteen units available for this drop, and it becomes unlocked at 10. Only 2 commits so far. This ends in about five days from today.

PS #1: Massdrop is a members-only website, and you need to have an account with them in order to see the actual products, that’s why I am not posting links, since it redirects to their homepage if you are not logged on to their account. This would create more confusion. Everyone can sign up for their service.

PS #2: if you are not interested in Massdrop offerings, please let me know in the comments or the contact form so I won’t mention them as often.
