Xiaomi Piston 3 In-Ears for $21 (Prime eligible, safe seller)

Xiaomi opened up their own mini Amazon store, so if you wanted to jump on the Xiaomi and/or Pistons bandwagon without having to worry about getting fakes, you can get the Pistons 3 in-ears for $21 from the Xiaomi Amazon store with the order fulfilled by Amazon for $21. So free shipping for Prime members, or with a $49+ order for non-Prime members. These average 4.3 out of 5 based on 17 customer reviews.

NOTE that some of the items are fulfilled by Amazon, others ship from Xiaomi and take longer to arrive. Check each individual listing and its associated shipping estimate. For example, the Mi Hybrid In-Ears ship from Xiaomi and have a long shipping estimate.

PS: these are all the headphones available in the Xiaomi-Amazon store.

A-Audio Elite HD Chrome/Black In-Ears for $20

The Staples online daily deals (separate from the offers in their Weekly Ad) have been flying under the radar for a while as many people don’t associate Staples with electronics deals. But they have some good deals and because they are not as “famous”, some of the deals are able to linger longer there than they would on a high volume electronics website like NewEgg or Amazon.

Regardless, the A-Audio Elite HD Chrome/Black In-Ears are currently on sale for $20 per pair at Staples.com. Free shipping if you are a Rewards member. Or free shipping to a local store for everyone. Offer ends 4/23/16.

UPDATE: these also go for $20 at the flash sale site MorningSave (the same people who run Meh.com). I do not know if they charge shipping since it doesn’t say.

Used Sony XBA H3 Hybrid 3-way In-Ears for $175 to $187

The “BA” is unmistakable in the model name, it’s balanced armature time, the Sony XBA H3 Hybrid 3-way In-Ears have many listings at Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD). The lowest price is currently $175 in “Used – Good” with many more listings for $187~ in “Used – Very Good”. It looks like there is price pressure on them, perhaps that one “Used – Good” may be the dam that is holding back the discounting. Even if this price is not right, you may want to keep an eye out for them in case of future discounts (not guaranteed that they will drop further though ~ speculation based on patterns).
