Not sure what happened to their new condition inventory. Maybe the hype train ate it all? 🙂

Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight On-Ears for $4.40 [limit 3]
If you are looking for a lightweight old-school design (think Sony Walkman cassette and CD player era) that is open-back, they are back on sale. The good old Panasonic RP-HT21 have stood the test of time and they are on sale again, in new condition, for $4.40 per pair, with a maximum of three per customer at the sale price by Amazon actual. They are however an Add-ON item, so you must place an order of $25+ in eligible/qualifying products, otherwise their shopping cart will simply refuse to let you buy them.
PS: they are on the same listing as a different model, so make sure you are looking at the correct customer reviews. I don’t know why Amazon or the manufacturers do this, it’s very annoying when you hav two different products on the same listing. It’s one thing to have different colors or at least different variants of the same product, but totally different products is, as Spock would say, iLLOGICAL!
KOSS KPH30i Rhythm Lightweight On-Ears for $20 + S&H [MD]
It is back! Come listen to our dairy air(e)! Running for the next five days and change (from blog-posting date; Massdrop does not show an exact expiration date, that’s why I’m posting the expiration like this) is the new condition Koss KPH30i Rhythm Beige Lightweight On-Ears for $20 plus shipping. They come with the famous KOSS limited lifetime warranty as Koss and Massdrop are co-operating. All sales are final however.
They will be shipped in mid March 2018 by Massdrop. They come with a non-detachable dual-entry cable with mic/remote.
Speaking of Koss, I just posted a text and pictures unboxing of the KOSS KSC-75 earclips, a “rescue” from the clearance bin of a brick and mortar store. I listened to them for the first time last night, they sound a lot better than they look 🙂

Refurbished AKG K514 Mark II Semi-Open for $20 w/free S&H
Mayhaps AKG needs to license “Don’t Stop Believing” and turn it into “Don’t Stop AKGing” 🙂 For about the price of the vinyl album containing that song, you can buy from the official Harman online store the refurbished AKG K514 Mark II semi-open headphones. That’s $20 with free shipping and handling and they come with a 1-year warranty. They have the iconic “two story” headband.

Now shipping: the new Sony MDR-1A M2 Closed Over-Ears
An update of the New Headphones Tracker has another in-stock alert for one of the headphones revealed at CES 2018. It is the follow-up to the Sony MDR-1A, the confusingly named Sony MDR-1AM2 (which makes more sense when you break it into MDR-1A M2), going for $298 with free shipping, its starting price at B&H Photo and by Focus Camera through Amazon (not Prime eligible). Amazon own listing remains as “temporarily out of stock” which could mean anything in terms of delivery date…
