Jaybird X3 Sport Bluetooth Earphones for $100

They are back on sale again, all three colors of the new condition Jaybird X3 Sport Bluetooth earphones are on sale for $100 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual. These average 3.8 out of 5 based on 530+ customer reviews, and have over 100 questions answered. They have a very low “review intensity ratio” (48 vs 18, less than 3:1), which suggest here are potential issues and trade-offs, so be sure to read up on them before buying.

Sennheiser IE80 In-Ears for $207 [limit 3]

Two back to back Sennheiser IE in-ear sales. First up, the new condition Sennheiser IE80 go for the very specific price of $206.61 at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three units per customer.

These average 4.3 out of 5 based on 300+ customer reviews. They have just under a 7:1 “review intensity ratio” at the moment. The more reviews are published, the more useful the “review intensity ratio” is since it can “absorb” review aberrations (haters, lovers, shills, the confused, the clueless, etc).

Sennheiser IE60 In-Ears for $117 [limit 3]

Sennheiser sale time continues! The new condition Sennheiser IE60 in-ears are currently on sale for $117~ at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three units per customer. This is not a lightning deal.

Massdrop x Noble X Universal IEMs for $250

If you want Noble without the sticker shock, fully unlocked at the moment at Massdrop are the Noble X Universal IEMs (another one of their exclusives) offered for $250 with free shipping. This offer runs longer than usual (it is good for the next 14 days from today) and will ship late May 2017. As usual, all sales final so keep that in mind. These are universal, not custom, which is why they can be delivered relatively quickly (in terms of MD speed).

Sennheiser CX 3.00 Earphones for $27

All three different color schemes of the Sennheiser CX 3.00 earphones are currently on sale for the very specific price of $26.67, with a limit of up to three per color per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual. They average 3.9 out of 5 based on 360 customer reviews over there. Their review intensity ratio is just over 7:1.

PS: the “Review Intensity Ratio” is a metric I use to look at the intensity in the reviews, the lovers (5-stars) versus the haters (1-stars). This metric alone should never be used to make a purchase decision, but it is a handy data point.

Thinksound rain 9mm Wood In-Ears for $35 w/FS

This is fulfilled by Amazon, which reduces the risk a bit, it is the new condition thinksound rain 9mm Wood In-Ears going for $35 in the silver/cherry color scheme. Since they are exactly $35, non-Prime members get free shipping too (the usual SuperSaver slower shipping)

First Harmonic IEB6 IEMs for $20 w/FS [MD]

Used Sennheiser Momentum In-Ears for $50

If you want to get a piece of Sennheiser Momentum “history” (they are rebranded as HD1 in the USA), stay tuned to the used Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) listings for the Momentum In-Ears in the Black-Chrome iOS version. There are currently many listings as “Used – Very Good” condition for $50~ by AWD actual, and given the number of units, other things equal, time should put some pressure on those prices and drop them further down. As usual with these type of things, your guess is as good as mine as to when and by how much…

Refurbished Klipsch In-Ears: R6 for $20, R6i for $25

On the Klipsch earphones front, a couple of models are discounted in certified refurbished condition by Beach Camera thru Amazon (Prime eligible).

1Voice Audio Blast Copper earphones for $16.50 to $21

Copper “Moscow Mule” cups are all the rage these days, so the copper mania apparently jumped to earphones as well. 1Voice is offering 100% copper earphones, the “1Voice Audio Blast”.

1Voice has a few models, this is the “Blast” model, not to be confused with the “Bliss” or the “Bang” or “Boom”. Their product naming scrabble bag only has words beginning with a “B” 🙂

The Titus Audio Symphony Line Conductor earphones, in the black or titanium color-schemes are on sale for the very specific price of $52.49 at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three units per customer. Multiple models are on the same listing, so be sure to filter the customer reviews for this particular model (the “Conductor”) ~ but as of the time of writing, they have only one, and it’s a 1-sentence review 🙁 They come with a zippered case and with two different kinds of eartips (memory foam and silicone) in multiple sizes.

Klipsch X11 earphones for $50 with coupon

Another Klipsch is a NewEgg daily deal. The Klipsch X11 earphones are offered for $50 with free shipping. For Monday, coupon code EMCSRECE6 drops them to $50 for NewEgg newsletter subscribers. On Tuesday, they will move to the open for all to see in the Shellshocker Deals.

PS: I don’t know why NewEgg is complicating something as simple as daily deals. And I don’t know why after so many years, their Shellshocker deals page requires constant mouse work to see them all, instead of expanding them all in place. But what do I know? I’m just a web monkey 🙂

Orderable again: 1More Triple Driver Lightning Cable IEM for $139

The Lightning cable edition of the 1More Triple Driver in-ears are not participating in the limited-time Amazon deal (I’m trying not to say “lightning deal” because this is an earphone with a lightning cable), so if you are interested in them, they are order orderable again at Amazon for $139.
