The usual terms, up to three per customer, this is indeed sold and shipped by NewEgg proper, not by iffy marketplace sellers…
Back at the Newegg dailies, running until 12/3/21 at 11:59pm pacific time, you can have the new condition wired open-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO (Tesla) for $439 after the limited time $160 off coupon code 93XSD86 over there…
Meanwhile the teasers for the Saturday deals include the 1More truly-wireless. The sale price will go live over there on Saturday, there’s no teaser on the sale price…
If you are a fan of the Monoprice Monolith planar-magnetic headphones and you are in the European Union, you are in luck, because at Amazon Germany, the Monoprice GmbH online shop is offering a 30% off clip-on coupon (in Amazon-speaker they are called “vouchers”) on the new condition Monolith M1070 open over-ears.
As of the time of writing, the current price is 360 euro. Minus 30%, it is just over 240 euro, about 1/3rd of, a very generous coupon. It averages 4.3 out of 5 based on 50 global ratings.
Back with open-back at the NewEGG dailies, running until December 1st in 2021 at 11:59pm pacific time is a $20 off coupon code that brings down the price of the new condition wired open-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO (250 ohm) to $129 after coupon…
On the neckband front, they offer the Soundcore Life bluetooth/ANC critter for $26 with free US shipping…
For older DAPs/PADs, there’s a 32GB Team microSD card for $5 with free US shipping… It’s not that hard/expensive to ship a memory card after all 🙂
Sennheiser can’t quit the “400” number it seems 🙂 They have announced and it is already released, in-stock and ready to ship at Adorama for $250 is their new open-back (yes, OPEN BACK) studio headphone, the “HD 400 PRO”!
It comes with two cables (one straight, one coiled) and the usual 2-year Sennheiser warranty. No bags or carrying case in the official kit…
PS: not to be confused with the existing closed-back HD 400S over-ear headphones…
As we previously mentioned, Amazon Germany “wins” the Philips X2 sale price, but for the newer Philips X3, Amazon USA wins as they are offering it for $199 with free US shipping, up to five pairs per customer. This is sold and shipped by Amazon actual. The Amazon Chermany price is 219 euro. As most of you know, a euro is usually 1.1x of a dollar.
If you are looking for a budget closed-back headphone with nice thick earpads and detachable cable, then $50 is what it takes to get the new condition wired closed-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 400S at authorized dealers such as Amazon and the official online Sennheiser store and B&H Photo and Adorama…
I haven’t seen or touched the HD 400S, but I’ve had an older version, the HD 4.20S, here’s our text and pictures unboxing of that… Sadly the HD 4.20S cable was NOT detachable. So Sennheiser can learn over time 🙂
And now something more utilitarian than hardcore audiophile 🙂 The battle is raging among the ANC/Bluetooth closed-back over-ear headphones with Sony and others making inroads to what once had been considered Bose’s realm.
Competition means discounting and as part of the Black Friday 2021 festivities, the new condition BOSE QuietComfort 45 closed-back over-ear ANC with bluetooth headphone is down to $280 with free US shipping at authorized Bose US dealers including B&H Photo and Amazon actual and Adorama…
Tired of conventional drivers? And have $750 ready to go? That’s how much the Monoprice Monolith AMT headphones have dropped down to, from their standard price of $1000. They have zero customer reviews, so you would be boldly going 🙂
AMT stands for “Air Motion Transformer”. They may look like electrostatics from afar, but they are not. This technology comes from the world of speakers – see Wikipedia and of course your favorite audiophool forums and websites and such…
Needless to say, these are definitely for the boldly going!
It is good to have options! As part of the Black Friday festivities, Massdrop is having a sale on a couple of wired open-back over-ear options for $180 each!
One option is their “own” Sennheiser HD 6XX and the other option is the generally available Sennheiser HD 560S…
Or you can buy them both and spend in the rest of 2022 writing comparison posts on reddit and headfi and Zeosfi and such 😉
The HD 560S goes for $180 elsewhere as well, BUT if your Massdrop order total is $250+, you can earn a $20 promotional bonus as part of their Black Friday bonus promotion…
Just $20 can get you some pretty good headphone audio of the open-back on-ear kind! As part of the Black Friday festivities, four color of the Koss KPH-30i on-ears are down to $20, sold by Koss with the orders fulfilled by Amazon. Yes, that includes the Clear color option! You can buy as many as you like!
As of the time of writing these average 4.5 out of 5 based on 2250+ global ratings!
I have one of these but have yet to prepare the unboxing post and eventual review (because everything is delayed LOL)…
AS part of the Black Friday festivities, Monoprice is having a sale on their Monolith audio gear which includes four over-ear planar-magnetic headphones as follows:
At the same page above, there’s various Monolith powered speakers, subwoofers, tower speakers, bookshelf, etc…
If you are not fond of “magic cables”, there’s also a big Monoprice cable sale with prices starting at $1.50 (eg 1.5m mobile 3.5mm M/M gold-plated)… In addition to 3.5mm cables, there’s RCA, optical TOSLink, and adapters and such…
But that’s not all. They also have a general purpose Black Friday sale with many product categories, including a Portable Audio category that includes more of the consumer-tier headphones and earphones…

Despite its existential adventures, Philips as a headphone maker/branding managed to survive and launch new former hype machine X series open-back headphones.
One of them, the Fidelio X2HR/00 is currently on sale for 98 euro in new condition as part of the Black Friday festivities at Amazon Germany…

+ Panasonic SC-GN01 Gaming Neck Speaker with Built-in Microphone for 134 euro
Which also raises the question, how close to your ear must the speakers be for it to be considered a headphone and not a speaker? Or is it a hybrid speaker-headphone? 😉
For those in the EU, and those who can favorably shop from the EU, for a limited time, as part of the Black Friday festivities, Amazon Germany is offering the new condition wired open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 599 headphones for 91 euro with free shipping in Germany and friends.
