Yamaha EPH-100SL In-Ears for $85

The Yamaha EPH-100SL In-Ears are one of the earphones that you may find in $100 recommendation lists, just like the Shure SE-215s, and those recommendation are probably what’s keeping their prices fairly steady. But as of the time of writing, the EPH-100SL are on sale for $85 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual (limit 5) and B&H Photo. It looks like a price-match maybe. You may have to login to your account at the retailer to see the price if you are not already logged in.

NOTE: Amazon is changing how it shows the discounts, it is moving away from showing dramatic discounts off the List Price, so what you see as the “discounted from price” may be something else. More on this development/experiment at New York Times and the Consumerist and eCommerceBytes.

UPDATE: speaking of Yamaha, they are running a limited promotion with Amazon, you get Amazon Gift Cards up to $300 with purchase of select Yamaha products (speakers, keyboards, guitars, etc). No headphones are part of this promotion though.

Monoprice 8320 In-Ears for $3 each [or $5 shipped for 1 unit]

From the “How Low Can You Go” department, the Monoprice 8320 In-Ears are on sale for $3 per pair, in new condition, with a limit of 20 units per customer. However, shipping is not free, so you have to factor that in the price. They are lightweight, so if you buy up to three units, you pay $2 flat USPS First Class Mail shipping fee.

Or if you are planning to do the high-roller coupon offer, you can add them to the bundle and add one in everyone’s birthday/holiday gift sock 🙂

But if you just want one, you can get it for $4.98 with free shipping from the Monoprice eBay store.

PS: these are not earbuds. The official Monoprice picture shows the outer shell on the left hand side, which looks very much like an earbud. The actual in-ear part is shown on the right hand side of the official picture.

Free Beats Solo 2 Bluetooth On-Ears with select Mac purchases

Here’s one tangible outcome of the Beats purchase by Apple, free Beats! As part of their Back to School promotions (I guess it’s never too early to start those), Apple is offering a free pair of Beats Solo 2 Bluetooth On-Ears with the purchase of select Macs (desktops or laptops). Meanwhile select iPads get a free pair of Powerbeats 2 bluetooth earphones.

This happens in the shopping cart when you add both the eligible device and the eligible headphones. The shopping cart deducts the price of the headphone making it free. If you get an eligible iPad, you can instead get the Solo 2 bluetooth on-ears but you have to pay an extra $100 out of your own pocket (instead of getting the Powerbeats earphones for FREE). Details at the promotional Apple page.

Brainwavz IEM Grab Bag for $22 shipped [MD]

If you are an adventurous spirit that enjoys participating in wild games of “Grab Bag”, Massdrop is back with another Brainwawz IEM grab bag promotion (they call it “blue box”). You pay $20 plus $2 flat shipping and you are guaranteed to receive one pair of IEMs from six different models. Your choice is determined randomly. Half of the participants [participators sounds more scifi though] will get the Jive, while the rest will be split between five different models.

This offer is limit two units per customer with a maximum of 1000 units available as part of this pearly-dew-drop drop. In addition to that, they have five prizes that unlock depending on how many units are sold. The “prizes” include a trio of AKG headphones and the biggest prize is the Fostex TH-X00. So five out of 1000 units, that’s 0.5% chance of winning per unit purchased. (NOTE: this is a ballpark number, the actual calculation is a lot more complicated because you have to factor in how many units one person bought, and which ones of the offers unlock).
