Monoprice M1060 Open Over-Ear Planars for $224 with free shipping after coupon
FriYAY is here and with it we have the usual duet of Friday-and-Saturday coupons for Monoprice.com. Coupon KNOCK is $5 off orders of $25 or more, while the coupon KNOCK2X is 20% off orders of $150 or more. The minimum amounts must needs be reached with products eligible for the coupon, not a mix of eligible and ineligible items. You can still buy ineligible (for the coupon) items in the same shopping cart, they just won’t count towards the $250 minimum. The coupons end Saturday night…
As usual, your humble correspondent has tested all the Monolith headphones (I have a shopping cart with all of them in, and add/remove and do the math if more than one is coupon eligible). Only one of the Monolith headphones is eligible, but it has also been discounted since the last time the coupon was out, so we have a bigger discount.
The new condition Monoprice M1060 Open Over-Ear Planars are on sale for $280 but they are also eligible for 20% off coupon code KNOCK2X dropping them to $224 with free standard US shipping!
If you are buying these, since they get free US shipping, they can “absorb” partially or fully the shipping cost of other items that are not eligible for free shipping. So it might be a good opportunity to add cables, adapters and other small things. Like this $2 Monoprice earphones with a 1-button remote/mic, or mayhaps this $1.09 splitter with separate volume controls.

Sennheiser RS 160 Wireless (KLEER) for $100 w/FS [limit 5]
UPDATE: it has now been price-matched by Amazon actual (limit up to three per customer)…
A bit of a doorbuster! Authorized Sennheiser dealer B&H Photo has launched a limited time offer on the new condition Sennheiser RS 160 digital wireless for $100 with free expedited shipping with up to five pairs per customer at the sale price!
These are previous generation model, and use KLEER technology, which Sennheiser is not using for their latest generation RS*5 models. So if you are a fan of KLEER. From what I recall, the RS 160 is the lowest priced model in their previous RS-lineup to have KLEER. The ones below (eg RS 120) did not have KLEER.
This is a system, you have a transmitter/base and a headset. They work together. They are not intended to be used separately. You can pair additional headsets to one transmitter/base, so more than one person can listen to the same music/video.

The closed-back over-ears Sony WH-CH700N is the “leader” of this CH-series with both bluetooth and ANC and NFC [why NFC in headphones?] and 3.5mm playback, and it is going for $198 with free shipping in the black color scheme by World Wide Stereo through Amazon.
The “second in command” is the Sony WH-CH500 Stamina Wireless, a closed on-ear model, going for $78 by DataVision thru Amazon. These do not support 3.5mm playback, no ANC, but they have NFC.

PS2: the WH-CH700N should not be confused with the WH-H900N which is a different line and it is on sale for $230 for Costco members.
