[DEAD] AKG K553 Closed Over-Ears for $89 w/free S&H
This daily deal expired but it returns every few weeks at Musician’s Friends, so if you missed it, wipe those tears away 🙂
Don’t stop AKGing!

This is one of multiple K5** options, so if you are not familiar with them, google them around. The price is certainly right on this one though.
Bose Quiet Comfort 25 ANC Over-Ears for $160 [limit 3]
If you have been trying to catch it on sale for $160, it is going for $160 with free shipping sold and shipped by Amazon actual as of the time of writing with up to three pairs per customer. “It” refers to the new condition Bose Quiet Comfort QC25 closed-back over-ear active noise cancelling headphones. These do not have bluetooth/wireless. This is the black color scheme with the iOS remote buttons.
This is not related to the Bose, but it is also on sale at Amazon and I don’t want to create a separate post for it, it is the new condition Syncwire Toslink digital optical audio cable going for $6.07 with free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order.

Beyerdynamic Custom “i” On-Ears for $23 w/free S&H [limit 3]
You can’t go wrong with this price if you need a pair of closed-back on-ears that come with lots of accessories and enable you to listen to two different sources at the same time without any additional hardware. They also have a 3-position bass slider that changes the sound signature.
Running until Monday night (or earlier if sold out), you can get the new condition closed-back Beyerdynamic Custom “i” On-Ears for $23 with free shipping. All you have to do is press “add to cart” to see the prices. There is no coupon and no rebate. You just proceed to checkout and pay $23. Limit up to three pairs per customer. These are sold and shipped by NewEgg actual, not iffy marketplace sellers.
I haven’t seen the “Custom i” model, but it looks very similar to the “Custom Street” which I have and here we have a review diary and a text and pictures unboxing of these right here!
The “Street” in the name and the box picture are foreshadowing that these are designed to grab a hold of your head (so they won’t fall off while skating?)…
I need to develop a reviewing process because my current “hippie” approach of doing things is not very productive review-wise 🙂

Razer, the gaming company, is also dabbling into “analogue” headphones, with a 3.5mm input and no wireless or gaming features. An old fashioned headphone. And their Razer Adaro DJ Analog is currently going for $40 with free shipping by a couple of marketplace sellers that are fulfilled by Amazon which is an extra layer of protection… One of those two sellers is also selling them for the same price at their own eBay store, it is the Digital Outlet MP3 (99.2%, California), a familiar name from the good old days of mp3 players. The headphones average 3.5 out of 5 based on 150+ customer reviews at Amazon and have about half that many in answered questions.

Monoprice 8323 with Bluetooth (apt-X) for $25 w/free S&H
If you wished someone made a bluetooth version of good old Monoprice 8323 closed-back over-ear headphones and put them on sale and gave them free shipping, you’ve come to the right post 🙂
Monoprice Headphone #24735 is the 8323 with bluetooth (apt-X) currently on sale for $25 with free standard US shipping. The free shipping is a bigger deal than the discount in price. It has earcup controls (instead of annoying little buttons on the perimeter underside of the earcups.
Based on the pictures they look similar to the 8323 (which I have), but I have not seen or touched the 8323 with Bluetooth (aka the #24735), so I can’t compare them.
Speaking of Monoprice, if you are looking for something to test headphone isolation and active noise cancelling, and you also need adjustable temperature hot water for your coffee/tea/etc, the Monoprice Strata 1.7L Electric Kettle is on sale for $36 with free standard US shipping. This is AC powered. It will be ruined if you put it on stovetop!

Sennheiser HD231G On-Ears for $20 w/free S&H
Ending on Thursday night of this week (or earlier if sold out), you can get the new condition Sennheiser HD 231G closed-back on-ears for $20 with free shipping by NewEgg actual with up to five pairs per customer at the sale price. The “G” stands for Galaxy which means it has Android-style 3-button remote on the remote (instead of iOS style or a single button). Other than the buttons, this works with all devices regardless of OS.
PS: usually the button incompatibility is the Volume UP/Down, play/pause work on most combinations of devices [but I obviously haven’t tested them all!].
