Massdrop Grab Bag for $20.50 shipped: Blue Ever Blue In-Ears

Grab bags are popular among some shoppers for their sense of mystery and adventure (or something like that). Massdrop is running another grab-bag sale, this one featuring Blue Ever Blue in-ears. You pay $20.50 with free shipping and for that, you will receive one pair of their in-ears. About half of the people will receive the lowest priced model of the four (the 328R). The rest will get more expensive models. Who gets what is random, so assume you will be getting the lowest priced model, and consider it a “victory” if you get anything else.

The offer is limit two per customer, and comes with free shipping to USA addresses. The offer ends in a week from today or if 2500 units are purchased, whichever happens first.

AKG K3003i Reference In-Ears for $900 [Update: open-box sold-out)

Flagship time on the in-ears front, the AKG K3003i Reference Class in-ears are on the sale swing again, going for $900 (was $930) with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual where they average 4.4 out of 5 based on 23 polarized reviews (no 3-star reviews).

UPDATE (1/7/16): while the new condition price dropped a bit, the open-box on eBay sold-out, while the used prices at Amazon went up… If you prefer non-new, you can get them for $650 in open-box condition with full warranty from RazorDog Audio. This has “less than 10 hours used” per the listing… Contrast that price for the no-warranty but 30-day-return-policy in “Used – Good” condition for $640 by Amazon Warehouse Deals

Used Grado GR10e In-Ears for $359

The new condition price for the Grado GR10e in-ears is $400. As of the time of writing, there is one listing in “Used – Like New” condition (original damaged packaging) for $359~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual (not marketplace sellers). The official Grado store (4OurEars) is the only one selling it there (fulfilled by Amazon), so this may have been a return of a 4OurEars purchase (I am only guessing, I do not have magic powers to know this for certain!).

[DEAD] Hifiman RE 400 In-Ears for $59 (three models)

This particular offer expired too… The Hifiman RE 400 in-ears are on sale for $59 with free shipping, in all three of their variations, the “i” model with a mic/remote for iPhone/Apple-devices, the “a” model with a mic/remote for Android, and the non-letter model without a mic/remote.

Shure SE-215 In-Ears for $89

If you have Amazon Gift Cards burning in your e-pocket and want to put them to work, the Shure SE-215 in-ears are on sale for $89 with free shipping. This is new condition, with either the black or clear color scheme. They have detachable cables which is not as common with in-ears, especially in this price range. They average 4.1 out of 5 with nearly 1900 customer reviews. These are sold by Amazon actual along with various marketplace sellers over there.

Free One Day shipping on 150+ headphones

If you need headphones delivered as soon as possible, for example, trying to beat the Christmas deadline, Amazon is having their usual FREE One Day shipping promotion on a number of products, among which are 150+ headphones and earphones. The numbers are roughly evenly divided among over-ears, on-ears and earphones. You can filter by brand by paging further down on the left side of their page. The selections are focused on popular consumer models, so you will find plenty of Bose and Beats and Audio Technica M-series.

But that’s not all. You can see all participating brands in this promotion, which includes some of the Momentum 2.0 Over-Ears ($250) and a handful of serious Beyerdynamics (12 over-ears). Also thrown in the mix are the good old Sony MDR-V6s ($65).

REMINDER: One Day shipping is available for a limited time and only when Amazon actual is the seller. Fulfilled by Amazon does NOT qualify for this.
