Headphones return to the Musician’s Friend daily deal, this until Monday at 8am ET (or earlier if sold out), it is the new condition wired closed-back on-ear V-Moda XS foldable in the white-silver color-scheme going for $60 with free US shipping…
This is an older model, before ALMOST every single on-ear became bluetooth 😉
And they are baaaaack! Beyer Dees at the Newegg dailies, this running until 6/4/22 at 11:59pm pacific time, the new condition wired open-back over-ear DT 990 PRO (250 ohm) going for $104 after using limited time promo code SSBT427 over there. Sold and shipped by NewEgg. Crypto accepted!
As you can see, the new coupon price for these DT 770/880/990 has dropped to $104, in a time where everything else is going up. Shhhhhh, don’t tell them they forgot to increase prices 😉
If you are a fan of open-box headphones, Sennheiser’s good old wired open-back over-ear HD 650 is offered in open-box condition for $249 plus shipping (starts around $10) at ADorama’s website. Per the listing this only ships to US addresses…
Needless to say, plenty has been written about the HD 600, 650, 6XX, the 5-series, and the competitors from other manufacturers, so the search-engine is your friend if interested in various trade-offs and comparisons.
Good until literally the end of the month (5/31/22 at 11:59pm central time – or earlier if sold out) it is the return of the 19th variant of the Random Audio sale that features 13 audio products including these headphones:

Per the listing over there, nearly 5000 units have been sold so far from Massdrop…
Not one, but two headphones! Good until 5/19/22 at 11:59pm eastern (or earlier if sold out), New York’s B&H Photo is offering as a bundle TWO of the new condition wired closed-back on-ear Sony MDR-ZX110-AP headphones with 1-button mic/remote in the black color scheme for $20. That’s $10 per headphone!
I haven’t had this particular model, but I had the ZX-310 and the ZX-100, and the one thing I remember is that (mayhaps) these were tuned for coffee shops. In a quite room (eg at home) they sounded like $10 headphones, but in coffee shops they were very usable.
PS: if the name rings a bell, a few months ago one of the hype YouTube reviewers “discovered” this headphone and tried to start a “discovery hype train” about it LOL

We are posting like the good old days, its our fifth post in a row today, and as fate would have it, it’s another Hifiman sale, the HE-560 V4 Premium (Adorama exclusive) for $300 at Adorama directly or you can buy it by Adorama thru Amazon for the same price…
I’m not familiar with the latest happenings in the world of Hifiman, so do check with your favorite forums, websites and video-sites for details and recommendations.
One name that keeps popping up that happens to be at the same price of $299 is the Sundara open-back over-ear planars (eg Amazon)…
PS: global correction, just in case, if you see “oven back” on this blog, it’s just a typo for “open back” 🙂
PS2: yes, I am working on a new website, “Cooking for Audiophiles” and that’s where the term “oven back” comes from 😉 #FakeNews
On the other hand, if you are looking for double-figures open-back over-ear headphones, two of the Philips models are currently on sale at Amazon. The SHP-9500 goes for $60, while the SHP-9600 goes for $73~…
These are sold by marketplace seller “Phototech” with the orders fulfilled by Amazon…
We have at this blog, from five years ago (!), a text and pictures unboxing of the SHP-9500S model. Sadly I didn’t keep these. I should have kept them! SAD!
Various well-known audio sellers at the Amazon website (including the official Hifiman Amazon store) are offering the new condition Hifiman HE-400SE planar-magnetic open-back over-ears for $109 with free US shipping. This is not a daily deal, so expiration date is unknown (to me)…
Check with your favorite audio websites, blogs, youtubes and forums for details and recommendations as there are many and more Hifiman options out there these days…

Better yet, this will ship in late April, it is an “in-stock drop”, not a “patience is a virtue” drop 🙂
For more offerings, check their 10-Year Anniversary sale…
During the NAB 2022 trade show festivities, B&H Photo is having a value-bundle for those looking for three studio headphones for one better price!

We have a “delayed gratification” deal alert! The complaint has always been that the options in under $100 open-back over-ear headphones are very few, and few-to-non-existent in planar magnetics.
Well, Massdrop x Hifiman are changing this right now. As part of their 10-year anniversary sale, for a limited time (ends by 4/25/22), they are offering the new condition wired open-back over-ear Hifiman HE-X4 planar-magnetics for $99. As of the time of writing, over 2500 units have been sold per the Massdrop website.
The “delayed gratification” part? Per the listing, this will ship in mid-June 2022. This being late April 2022, that’s almost two months from now. In a world of instant gratification, that’s a near eternity!
But if you can wait…
PS: there’s no mention of warranty in the listing. They accept returns within 30 days of delivery in new/unused condition.
Party on Wayne! It is April 20! And what a coincidence, Massdrop is having their 10-Year April Anniversale featuring 17 Massdrop-X co-branded headphones, three of which are IEMs and four are gaming headsets.
Of the audiophile over-ears, they have Dan Clark Aeons, Sennheiser HD-XXX options, Hifiman planars, and one each from Focal, BeyerDee and Senor Speakers (aka Mr Speakers)…
The IEMs are Noble, Grell and JVC…
This is a limited time offer…

Then at the Woot daily deals, under “Clearance” they have the new condition Razer Nari Essential Wireless 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset: THX Spatial Audio for $40… Note that these ship in the (theoretically and hopefully) more environmentally-friendly frustration-free packaging, not the retail packaging…
