[DEAD] Tuesday: Senal SMH-1200 Studio headphones for $70

Cyber Monday is over, and all these offers expired with it…
Harman Kardon SOHOa On Ear Mini for $36
A couple of Prime-eligible marketplace sellers are currently offering the new condition Harman Kardon SOHOa On Ear Mini for $36 per pair with the orders fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon’s own price is $108. A slim-line carrying case and two cables are included, so you have accessories to play with right there even if the headphones fail 🙂
Massdrop x AKG K7XX Red Edition for $200
If you missed it during its previous offerings, it is back, and with five days to go, the open-back over-ear Massdrop x AKG K7XX Red Edition is live again at the members-only retailer for its standard price of $200 with free shipping. Per the description, each unit is individually serialized, and this particular offer has a maximum of 1500 units. Only about 100 have been sold as of the time of writing, so you don’t have to rush if you are 50-50 on it. Shipping estimate is early-to-mid December 2017. Since it is in partnership with AKG, you get a 2-year AKG warranty.
PS: in case you missed the news, Harman (which owns AKG) was purchased by none other than Samsung, who is paying cold hard cash (probably not in trash bags though) for Harman. Samsung’s main interest in Harman is their automotive-related business, so fear not, a “Galaxy K702 Mega Edge Plus” is not coming out any time soon 🙂
[DEAD] Beyerdynamic T1 (Second Generation) + Beyerdynamic A2 Headphone Amp + Extras for $1600
As of late 11/29/16 re-check, this bundle is sold out…
[DEAD] Sony MDR-1000X drop to $350 [either color; limit 3]

This rather mediocre round of Cyber Monday lightning deals expired…
[DEAD] Cyber Monday edition of the Woot-OFF has began
This promotion ended after 24 hours…
[DEAD] Bowers and Wilkins P7 wired for $280 (limit 2)
This sale ended as well… If you don’t mind waiting for them for an unspecified period of time (they are in a “temporarily out of stock” situation), the new condition closed-back square-pad Bowers and Wilkins P7 are on sale in new condition for $280 with a limit of two sets per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual. $280 is also the price of the re-certified model which carries a 2-year warranty and is blessed by B&W.
(REFERENCE ONLY) Deal Survivor: what survived after Black Friday
As of a November 30, 2016 re-check, the majority of the deals mentioned below expired… The original post is after the break un-changed for historical reference (eg if you want to compare to future years or previous years)… I will post a separate post listing some of the remaining deals…
Beyerdynamic DT1770 PRO (250 ohm) for $417
Tesla 2.0 action now, the closed-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO (250 ohm) headphones are on sale for $416.50 at Amazon by Amazon actual along with Huppins/OneCall (fulfilled by Amazon). Also, a marketplace seller “Alto Music” offers them for a similar price when you add the $18 shipping fee to their price. These have their trade-offs so be sure to read negative reviews before buying.
Sennheiser HD 700 for $400 [MD]
If you can’t wait for future discounts, and if you don’t object to waiting until late December 2016 (or you assume you won’t be able to find a better deal by then), the open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD700 is now fully unlocked at members-only Massdrop for $400 with free shipping and a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Massdrop already launched an exclusive headphone with Sennheiser (the HD6xx), so one can assume it is safe to say that it’s safe to buy from them without worrying about warranty issues. The offer ends in about three days from Shop Small Saturday (today = 11/26/16).
The HD700 is between a rock and hard place strategically, squeezed now between the trio of HD6xx/HD600/HD650 and the duo of HD800/HD800S.
[DEAD] AKG N60nc On-Ear ANCs for $150
This sale ended… A trio of recognizable sellers at Amazon (World Wide, HiDEF, Electronics Expo; all three Prime eligible) are offering the new condition AKG N60nc On-Ears active noise-cancelling headphones for $150 with free shipping. The ANC circuit is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery.
PS: on Saturday I will try to assemble a link of some of the “surviving” deals after the Friday-only specials expire, although I suspect a number of the offers will carry through until late Monday or Tuesday.
[DEAD] Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO (250 ohm) for $109
This sale ended… The $100 Beyerdynamic DT 7-8-9 club is getting closer to reality 🙂 The open-back DT990 PRO (250 ohm) is now down to $109 with free shipping, in new condition, at Amazon by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal, so the price is market-driven. It may be a computer-generated price-match of a marketplace seller who has it for $111, but that’s only a guess.
Audio Technica M50x + Fiio A1 + Slappa Case for $129
If you need all three, this is a great deal. You don’t have to use them all three together, some of these bundles are more useful when seen that way. That was a “cold open” to this Buydig eBay offer, the new condition Audio Technica M50X headphone in either black or white, is bundled with a Slappa case and the portable Fiio A1 headphone amp for $129 with free shipping, with a limit of five per buyer. If you need all three, this is a good deal. If you only need two or less, you could wait for future discounts ~ unless you need them all right away.
Massdrop x Fostex TH-X00 for $400
I may have exceeded my lifetime quota of “Fostex the people” jokes, but the Massdrop x Fostex TH-X00 is back on again at Massdrop going for $400 with free shipping with three days left in the offer (from Black Friday) with a reasonable early December 2016 shipment estimate. A total of 450 units are available, so theoretically it could sell out earlier.
V-Moda M100 with BoomPro Headset Mic for $187 with coupon
The previously mentioned Musician’s Friend coupon BLACKFRIDAY or CYBERMONDAY can get you the new condition V-Moda M100 Shadow with a free BoomPro headset mic for $187~ with free shipping.
The “Matte Black” color scheme goes for $13 less regular price compared to the “Shadow”, but the “Matte Black” is not in-stock (estimated shipping is 12/12/16), so their shopping cart does not allow the coupon discount on it.
Meanwhile the white silver is in-stock and about $5 more than the “Shadow” and it too gets the BoomPro mic.
The M100 is the wired closed-back over-ear, which got discounted after V-Moda released a bluetooth version of it. So you see, bluetooth is sometimes beneficial to audiophiles in a roundabout kind of way 🙂
PS: the BoomPro is not a leftover gift, it goes for $30 on its own and averages 4.4 out of 5 based on 680+ customer reviews.
Beyerdynamic DT770 (16 ohm) for $100
Buydig strikes again on eBay, offering yet another variant of the Beyerdynamic DT 7-8-9 line-up, the new condition Beyerdynamic DT770 (16 ohm) for $100 with free shipping, with a limit of five units per customer.
Audio Technica M20X for $25 w/free s&h
Buydig strikes again among the latest eBay deals, they are offering the new condition Audio Technica M20X closed-back over-ear headphones for $25 with free shipping, with a limit of five units per customer. Over 570 units have been sold so far from that particular sale per the stats over there.
[DEAD] NVX XPT100 studio headphones for $69
As of 11/26/16 PM recheck, this returned to $80… On the “named studio headphones who try to actually be studio headphones” front the closed-back over-ear NVX XT100 is further down, going for $69 with free shipping by Sonix Electronix thru Amazon. It ships directly from Sonic, so it is not Prime eligible.
Beyerdynamic T90 Chrome with $40 promo gift card for $300
Per the NewEgg teaser email, starting at 3am ET on Friday, they are offering the new condition Beyerdynamic T90 Chrome Limited Edition along with a promotional $40 NewEgg gift card for $300 with free shipping. The headphone seller is Beach Camera.
[DEAD] Saturday’s Offers: Noontec ANC, Marshall BT, JLab Flanged
These lightning deals run out of juice (aka expired)…
[DEAD] Ends Sat 3am ET: Sennheiser HD598 CS for $100 [limit 2]

This limited time offer expired… On the budget studio-ish (closed over-ear) headphones front, the new condition Tascam TH-200x are on sale for $19 at Musician’s Friend (free shipping) and Guitar Center (free ship to store or with a $25+ order).

Used Oppo PM-3 Planars for $391 w/free S&H

It is the white color scheme, in “Used – Like New” condition with damaged original packaging going for $391, sold and shipped by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. The previous link only shows the Prime-eligible listings. Remove the Prime-only checkmark on the left-hand side to see all the listings.
I am not sure where Amazon Warehouse Deals got these, maybe they were a trade-in? To make sure I wasn’t hallucinating when I posted this, I took a screenshot 🙂
Beats Solo 3 (Gloss Black) for $220 [limit 3]
It looks like the $220 is perhaps rotating between different color options of the Beats Solo 3 on-ears. Now it is the “Gloss Black” color scheme that is on sale for $220 with free shipping with a limit of three per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual. With the Solo 2 remaining in the line-up and the Beats X on the horizon, it looks like perhaps Apple is trying to replicate an iPhone/iPad type of a “depth chart” with their Solo line-up.
Refurbished Sony MDR-100AAP for $100
The closed-back over-ear Sony MDR-100AAP are available in five distinct unicolors. Four of those colors are available in refurbished condition with a 90-day warranty by Secondipity thru Amazon. This listing shows you the lowest price per color.

PS: the five colors make it easier to buy these are gifts for kids or siblings or grand kids or roommates or relatives or co-workers. The distinct colors makes it easier for them to tell theirs apart 🙂

Beyerdynamic DT1350 with straight cable for $120
