[DEAD] Sunday’s Offers: Cowin, Bluedio, Rowkin, Etc
Sunday is over, and so are its lightning deals…
Audio Technica ATH-AD700X for $99 New or $88 Used
Audio Technica too has a line of affordable open-back over-ear earphones, not just Sennheiser and Grado and the Philips SHP-9500S! The second model in this line-up is the ATH-AD700X, and this is currently on sale in new condition for $99 by Focus Camera directly or thru Amazon (aSavings is them too).
On the other hand, if you prefer used, there is a “Used – Like New” (original packaging) for $88~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.
Used AKG K182 Closed Over-Ears for $57
I don’t know how many people at AKG can itemize all their headphones, but if you happen to be interested in their closed-back over-ear K182, this model is available “Used – Like New” condition (original packaging) for $57~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. This is the best condition for a used item, “Like New”, in original packaging, and it doesn’t mention any issues. Of course there’s always some randomness in used listings, but statistically this is the best used condition description (assuming it’s accurate) you can find.
Pre-order new B&O Beoplay H9i and H8i ANC/BT Over and On-Ears
Another pair of headphones that was announced at CES 2018 is now available for pre-ordering. It is the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay duo of H9i and H8i, an over-ear and on-ear respectively duo of bluetooth with active noise cancelling headphones. Each one is available in two color schemes and their pre-order prices are $499 and $399 respectively, with a late January 2018 release estimate.
Of practical interest, these charge via a USB-C port on the headphones, so you don’t have to fight with the micro-USB cable.
Pre-orders are accepted as follows:
+ H8i for $399 at Amazon actual
+ H9i for $499 at Amazon actual
Used Grado SR125e Open-Back for $116
The new condition open-back Grado SR125e headphones go for $150 at authorized Grado dealers, but if you are a fan of used, at the moment, there is a “Used – Good” condition (cosmetic imperfections; damaged original pizza box) for the very specific price of $116.40 by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual…
PS: “pizza box” is the shape/style of their packaging (unless they changed it in which case the joke is more historical)
PS2: when buying Grados from Amazon, make sure the seller is either the official Grado store (4OurEars), or Amazon actual or Amazon Warehouse Deals actual, or recognizable and trustworthy A/V dealers. Definitely don’t buy from “Just Launched” sellers unless you thoroughly investigate/research them…

[DEAD] Used Plantronics BackBeat Sense Bluetooth On-Ears for $40
As of 1/16/18 recheck, the “fulfilled by Amazon” options are sold out…
This is fulfilled by Amazon which reduces the risk, but it’s sold by an unknown marketplace seller, so there is higher risk than average. It is the white-brown color scheme of the Plantronics Backbeat Sense bluetooth on-ears, offered in “Used – Like New” condition for $40 with free shipping by marketplace seller “Bodyline” with the order fulfilled by Amazon, offered at Amazon Warehouse Deals.
If you are risk averse, or you hate the idea of having to return an item, you may want to avoid this listing!

Their release estimate is early summer 2018, so pretend it’s a Massdrop offering if it will help make the wait less insufferable 🙂
The parallel HDV 820 DAC/amp has no wait, it is already in-stock and shipping at authorized dealers for $2400 as well.
This is one of many new headphones revealed at CES 2018, we are keeping track of them at our CES 2018 headphone summary. I’m adding new releases as fast as I can. This usually takes a couple of weeks of updates before it is finished 🙂 We’ve done these for most major trade shows, you can find all those posts under the New Headphones category.

Used Soundmagic HP200 Open Over-Ears for $76
Soundmagic too has open-back headphones, the HP200, and they are currently available in “Used – Good” condition for $76~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. No further description is given on their condition. Build quality complaints drag their review score to 3.2 out of 5 based a dozen of them, so keep that in mind, especially if you are planning to use them in more challenging situations.
Used Audio-Technica ATH-ANC50iS ANC for $25
We continue our dive into Amazon Warehouse Deals with the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC50iS active noise cancelling headphones. They go for $99 in new condition, but you can get them for about 1/4th of that price in “Used – Very Good” condition by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. For higher risk purchases, a couple of marketplace sellers offer it refurbished for around $20 with free shipping, but shipping directly from them (not Prime eligible). You can also filter the options by Prime on the left hand side. These are powered by a single AAA battery, so a plus for fans of user-replaceable batteries and/or AAA rechargeables. They average 3.5 out of 5 based on 23 customer reviews.
As usual with ANC headphones, if you are not planning to use them for ANC most of the time, you are probably better served getting non-ANC closed-back models with good isolation.
Pioneer SE-MS5T Closed Over-Ears for $40 w/free S&H
We continue with the Amazon Warehouse Deals dive. Because of the price checking that goes with it, a Warehouse Deals dive surfaces both used deals and new condition deals.

Used Bowers & Wilkins PX ANC/BT Over/On-Ears for $295
I just started a mini dive into Amazon Warehouse Deals, so expect some used posts in a row (depending on what I find). As with most things blog, the newer posts will appear above it, not below it, since reverse-chronological order makes the most sense for time-sensitive type of posting.
The new condition Bowers & Wilkins PX active noise cancelling bluetooth headphones go for $400 in new condition, but if you are comfortable with used, you can shave about 1/4th of the price by getting them in “Used – Very Good” condition for $295~ with free shipping at Amazon Warehouse Deals. They have two listings, both are damaged original packaging, with minor cosmetic imperfections on the item (item = the headphones in this case).
PS: I can’t tell from the shape of the earpads/earcups whether these are over-ear or on-ears, thus the all-encompassing “Over/On-Ears” 🙂
Tascam TH-300X Studio Headphones for $35 w/FS
The current Musician’s Friend deal of the day running until Sunday at 8am ET (or earlier if sold out) is the new condition Tascam TH-300X studio headphones (closed-back, over-ears) going for $35 with free shipping. These also have “cousin” brands, so google them up if curious or not familiar.
