The shipping estimate will be revealed when the offer goes live on Friday at 9am eastern.
It will be interesting to see whether, depending on the shipment estimate date, these may cannibalize some of the HD 6XX potential sales and current orders.

The third of the manufacturer B&O Play headphone offers is the closed-back wireless (bluetooth) with ANC (active noise cancelling) H8 model, going for $200 with free shipping by marketplace seller “Deal Plan It” but this time they are only offered by their eBay store. Their Amazon prices are higher. They are available in two color options, the Gray Hazel color-scheme and the Argilla color scheme.
This offer expired… Good until Wednesday 11:59pm ET (or earlier if sold out) the blue color scheme of the closed-back over-ear Senal SMH-1200 studio headphones are on sale for $60 with FREE next day delivery.

Massdrop is now offering their Massdrop x Focal Elex Headphones for $800 with free shipping. One thousand units will be available and serialized. The first 500 buyers will get a serial number under 550. This is based on the Elear and to a lesser extend the Clear.
The offer went live on Monday 12/18/17 at 9am eastern time.
Since it is a Massdrop-FOCAL co-operation, it comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty. They ship April 30 in 2018, so patience is a 4.5 month virtue in this case 🙂 We are buying before Christmas and getting them after Easter. It may feel like 33 years but it’s only 4.5 months!
The closed-back on-ear wireless (bluetooth with Apple’s secret sauce) Beats Solo 3 headphones are on sale again for $200 with free shipping in the black color scheme at Amazon by Amazon actual. Up to three pairs per customer at the sale price.
Speaking of Beats, three of the five Beats Studio 3 Wireless are on sale for $320 (their standard price is $350).
Another headphone offer has become “fully unlocked” (= lowest price under this offering) at the members-only but free-to-join shopping website that is Massdrop. It is the new condition GermanMAESTRO GMP 8.35 Mobile Headphones going for $150 with free shipping. These are rugged closed-back headphones with a detachable cable.
The offer runs for the next three days and change (from blog-posting date) and it is estimated to ship in mid-January from Massdrop, with all sales final. There is no mention of warranty on the product listing page.
PS: I’m guessing they are over-ears based on the pictures. The product listing does not say.
Done they go! The new condition Sony XB950N1 Bluetooth + ANC Over-Ears are now down to $118 with free shipping, in either color scheme, sold and shipped by Amazon actual. Limit up to three per color per customer. This is not a lightning deal, so expiration date unknown.
Optionally, if you are a Prime member and pay with one of the two Prime credit cards, you will get 20% back as a statement credit = $23.60 in this case.
Monday 9am eastern is when the all new Massdrop FOCAL ELEX headphones will go live on the Massdrop website for $800.
In the meantime, for less than 1/10th of that price, and delivery in about two business days (if a Prime member) you can get the older new condition closed-back over-ear FOCAL Spirit One S for $70 with free shipping, sold by AudioLAB with the orders fulfilled by Amazon.
The closed-back wired over-ear Monoprice 8323 are one of the sub-$40 bang for the buck headphones (with interchangeable cable to boot). Piggy-backing on their popularity, Monoprice has now released a bluetooth version with apt-X support, the model 24735 (a side-effect of the temporally-based sequential way hey name their products, they couldn’t have a model name with 8323 in it)…
… and this bluetooth model is now on sale for $25 with free standard US shipping at the Monoprice website. No coupon is needed, the price you see is the price you pay! This is a limited time offer, expiration date unknown.
I haven’t seen the bluetooth version, but I have the old-school model. Despite their size and expansion on your head when you wear them, they just barely fit on my head. I have an above average head size/volume, but by no means the largest one, so keep that in mind! I rarely have head-size “just barely fits” issues with over-ears.
As of a 12/21/17 recheck, this is sold out and cannot be ordered…
A new low, defeating the Black Friday and Cyber and Green Monday prices, the new condition Bose Quiet Comfort 25 closed-back over-ears with active noise cancelling (no bluetooth) are down to $149 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual in the black color scheme with the Apple/iOS remote control buttons. They have a detachable cable.
PS: you can use these with any device. The iOS buttons means that volume control only works on iOS devices. The middle button (play/pause) should work with any phone or other devices that is capable of using those signals.

This lightning deal expired, and this has established a new lightning deal price bottom of around $35. Previoulys it had been $40~…
Clearance time! The new condition Tivoli Audio RSBLK Radio Silenz, in the black or walnut color scheme, are on sale for $20 per pair by Colorado’s “Listen UP” with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get free 2-day shipping. Most of the seven customer reviews are not happy, so be sure to research them if you are not familiar with them.
The new condition open-back over-ear AKG K612 headphones range from $120 to $125 by a trio of marketplace sellers with the orders fulfilled by Amazon. The one I recognize from the trio is the Audio Watt Store, but I do not recall if they are an authorized dealer.
Amazon’s own price is $199, so even with the 20% statement credit offer, you get a better deal paying $125.
A quarter of Sony headphones are also participating in the Prime Credit Cards 20% Statement Credit promotion. This works for Prime members who pay with either of the Prime credit cards (VISA or Store).

Another headphone participating in the Prime Credit card promotion is the new condition semi-open over-ear Samson SR 850 headphones. You pay $32.80 at checkout. If you pay with either one of the two official Prime credit cards (VISA or store card), you will receive 20% back a credit when your credit card statement closes (that’s $6.56).

We have here a Text and Pictures Unboxing of the headphone. This has a long ass cable (that’s a technical term!).
This is a limited time offer, expiration date unknown. The offer is running while you see it mentioned on the individual product pages. If you don’t see it mentioned, it means it expired!!!
This offer is only available if you have a Prime credit card (VISA or Store Card), you are a Prime member and you are willing to pay for the purchase with one of those two credit cards.
IF yes to all of the above, the Prime Statement Credit Promotion now gives you 20% back (instead of the usual 5%) when you purchase select qualifying items. The products must be sold and shipped by Amazon actual, not marketplace sellers.

Old school time! The new condition open-back famous Koss KSC75 clip-on headphones are currently on sale for $10 per pair, at Amazon by Amazon actual with up to three pairs per customer! Free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order. This is not a lightning deal, so expiration time unknown. They average 3.9 out of 5 based on 2500+ customer reviews.
The new condition Technics RP-DJ-1210 headphones go for $100+ in new condition, but if you are comfortable with used, you can get them “Used – Acceptable” condition (major cosmetic damages, repackaged, still usable) for $51 with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.
Given the description, this is a higher risk purchase, thus the lower price. If you hate returns, you may want to avoid it as the risk is higher of deal-killer issues with this type of a description. On the other hand, the description may be exaggerated, so they may end up a good deal. As they say, luck favors the bold (And the bald).

Yet another offer has blossomed into a fully unlocked flower at Massdrop [such flowery language today!], it is the new condition E-MU Teak Headphones w/ Removable Cable going for $500 with free shipping.
