[DEAD] SHARKK Bravo hybrid electrostatic headphones for $20 with free shipping
As of a 10/21/17 AM recheck, the price returned to $50 but I will be monitoring the price in case it drops again…
This came out at $300 when it was getting hyped all over the crowdfunding world, but reality hit, and it has been a steadily systematic decline in its pricing. But if you are curious to see what they did and how they failed, $20 is all that it takes to get the new condition SHARKK Bravo hybrid electrostatic headphones, by BREED thru Amazon. Free shipping but it is not Prime eligible. It is ships directly from BREED (that’s the awkwardly named seller’s name).

Latest Headphone Deals Summary [updated]
LATEST UPDATE: November 13 in 2017 at 11pm ET… purged expired deals and added the surviving offers from the last couple of weeks… I am sometimes typing “Amazon Warehouse Deals” as “Warehouse Deals” or “AWD” to save up on space and/or typing…
NEW FEATURE: added “Quickly Jump” categories so you jump directly to categories of interest… it’s been two weeks since our previous update of this summary, so there’s more turnaround than usual…
WHAT IS THIS? This is an on-going permanent tracking post that rounds-up some of the current surviving headphone deals. The prices and availability are of the “Latest Update” date mentioned above. It cannot be updated automatically if something sells out or a price changes…
This is a very long post, more after the break…

[DEAD] Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO (250 ohm) for $149
As of a 10/17 AM recheck the price went up to $179…
It looks like Amazon’s price bots price-matched a marketplace seller, dropping the new condition Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO (250 ohm) closed-back over-ears to $149 with free shipping, sold and shipped by Amazon actual.
This is not a lightning deal, but a price-match, so the expiration date is unknown (either when the other seller raises their price or runs out, or when the Amazon Price Bots decide to change the price based on whatever AI criteria they use).

The shipping estimate for this is December 20, 2017, so it’s “just” two months and change. About half the wait time than before 🙂

Parrot ZIK 3 Bluetooth ANC headphones for $150 after coupon
Good until 10/31/17, coupon code USMUSICZIK100 cuts another $100 off the current price of the new condition Parrot Zik 3 bluetooth with ANC techie-friendly headphones at the official Parrot USA store, making it $150 after coupon with free shipping.
As of the time of writing, the price is $250 before you enter the coupon in the shopping cart. Entering the coupon drops it to $150. You don’t have to login or create an account to test the coupon. Simply add the Zik 3 headphones to the shopping cart, proceed to checkout, and enter the coupon code. The price will drop to $150. Here’s a screenshot:
One of the $100 off is the coupon. The other $100 off is an instant savings discount on the website. As you can see, they are stackable!
They are available in eight (!) different color schemes at the official Parrot USA store. This is their latest model, with Bluetooth, ANC, touch controls on the earcup, custom Zik app, USB Audio (while charging), optional wireless charger, 3.5mm playback, replaceable batteries (and compatible with the Zik 2).
They have an impressive feature set, but they also have their issues though, so be sure to read up on reviews and such if you are not familiar with them. Keep in mind though, most people were reviewing them as $250 and $350 headphones, not as $150 headphones.
I haven’t seen or touched a Parrot Zik headphone, so I know nothing Jon Snow 🙂
