Costco Members: Sony WH-H900N BT/ANC Over-Ears for $230
Your Costco membership dollars are hard at work. This particular offer is restricted to members-only, so if you are not a member, you cannot buy it, even if you are willing to pay the non-member surcharge. Some of the Costco offers are reserved like this, whether it’s a question of available quantity or agreement with manufacturer or member reward. Regardless…
… the new condition Sony WH-H900N BT/ANC over-ears are going for $230 with free shipping for Costco members. The usual benefits of longer returns and such are available as usual.

Califone CA-2 lightweight on-ears for $5.84
On the budget side of things, the lightweight Califone CA-2 on-ear headphones with a resealable storage bag [given the price, I suppose it makes sense for them to put this in the product title] are on sale for $5.84 with free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order at amazon.com. Expiration time unknown since this is not a lightning deal. They average 3.6 out of 5 based on 25 customer reviews.

Running until Sunday at 8am ET (or earlier if sold out) the current Musicians’s Friend Stupid [that’s what they call it; not an editorial note] deal of the day is the new condition Marantz MPH-4 Closed-Back Over-Ear self-described monitoring headphone for $40 with free shipping and free returns.
Used Soundmagic HP150 Closed Over-Ears for $72
The Soundmagic HP151 are a more recent model, and HP150 closed-back over-ears are harder to find in new condition at a reasonable price. But if you prefer the HP150, they are currently available in “Used – Good” condition (no further details given) for $72~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. There is only one used listing for these at the moment. They average 3.7 out of 5 based on 25 customer reviews.
Used B&O Play H8i ANC/BT On-Ears for $339
In parallel it seems to the B&O H9i, the recently released B&O PLAY H8i bluetooth/ANC on-ears go for $400 in new condition [see Headphone Tracker] but if you want to save some, you can get the black color scheme in “Used – Like New” (damaged original packaging) for $339~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. There is only one used listing for this one.
Used Audeze SINE DX On-ears for $509

This description typically suggests just damaged packaging, but obviously I have no way of knowing for sure for each specific listing.
Sony MDR-1A Closed Over-Ears for $150 w/free S&H
Given the price, this looks like it’s an international model, so if you don’t care about a Sony USA warranty, the new condition Sony MDR-1A Closed Over-Ears are on sale for $150 with free shipping by a marketplace seller through NewEgg, as one of their featured sales. The sale ends on Saturday night.
Monoprice Dual Driver Wired Over/On-Ears for $13 w/FS

Its their new condition Dual Driver Wired Over/On-Ears going for $13 with free standard US shipping. The reviews are split on them though they average 3 out of 5 based on 15 customer reviews.
I can’t tell from the pictures if they are over-ear or on-ear, thus the all encompassing “Over/On-Ears”
Speaking of Monoprice, they have the Headphone Splitter with Separate Volume Controls on sale for $1.09. Shipping is extra but if you buy it together with something else, its shipping fee will be absorbed at least partially. You can buy as many as you want though.
Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT/ANC Over-Ear for $100

Innerfidelity’s favorable review made it harder to find discounts on it 🙂
Refurbished Monoprice M560 for $120, New $150
These two are not eligible for the Monoprice weekend coupons (they work on the M1060 though), probably because they are on sale on their own:
+ refurbished M560 open/closed on-ears for $120 plus shipping
+ if you buy them with something that qualifies for free standard US shipping, it may “absorb” some or all of its shipping fee
+ new condition M560 open/closed on-ears for $150 with free shipping

Planar temptation! BuyDIG is now offering the open-box HIFIMAN HE400i Special Edition (the dark blue chrome color scheme) for $120 with free shipping and free returns. That’s right $120! This is an open-box closeout sale of the “while supplies last” kind. They are open-back over-ear planar-magnetic headphones. Certainly not a bad price! The biggest risk is Hifiman’s quality control with their headphones falling apart, so keep that in mind [check various audio forums for more on that front].
Under “Package Contents” it says this comes with a 1-year warranty. Further down the product listing there’s also an option for a Mack 3-year extended warranty for $20 more.

FOCAL ELEAR Open Over-Ear drops to $699
Down goes Elear! Earlier in the morning when I was deal-fishing at Amazon the FOCAL ELEAR went for $750, but as of the time of writing, two fulfilled by Amazon sellers (Audio Advisor and Audio Fanatic) have dropped to $699 with free Prime shipping. You can also see the big picture with the detailed listing. I don’t know if those two “fulfilled by Amazon” sellers are authorized FOCAL dealers.
The price now matches the FOCAL ELEX at Massdrop which also go for $700. Their “drop” is ending in about one day and change. Unlike the “fulfilled by Amazon” which ships in about two days, the Elex at Massdrop will ship in late April 2018. Patience is definitely a virtue.
