Bose SoundTrue In-Ears for $70

The Bose SoundTrue in-ears, without a mic/remote, in your choice of black or red color schemes, are on sale for $70 with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual.

Now, these are called “in-ears” but they are kinda in-betweens. They don’t form a seal like true in-ears, and they are not sitting outside your earhole like earbuds. They have little mini-speaker-like protrusions that go in your ear but they don’t form a seal. Perhaps of interest if you have trouble with in-ears and air seals and such.

Moshi Moonrock In-Ears for $27

On the adorable/adorkable in-ear front, the Moshi Moonrock in-ears, in three color schemes (lime-green, red, white) are on sale for $27 per pair, in new condition, at Amazon by Amazon actual. You can buy as many as you like. The other two color schemes (pink, black) are not on sale.

These come with a custom-made carrying case. The earphones plug into the case, while the cord loops around its base. They have a 1-button remote/mic, and average 4.4 out of 5 based on 280+ customer reviews. Their unique packaging and pastel-ish colors make them a good candidate as a gift or part of a gift bundle.

PS: these are not edible. They are not made of moshi ice cream 🙂

Xiaomi Piston Dazzle Edition In-Ears for $6 w/free s&h

Sennheiser HD 280 + JBL J22a for $85 w/free s&h

This is a bit of an unusual deal in that headphones from a different manufacturer are included for free with the purchase of a headphone from another, but regardless, if you can use them, why not? Let’s start from the beginning…

NewEgg has a new 48 hour sale for their e-mail newsletter subscribers. Some offers require promo codes, such as the one we are about to mention:

Promo code EMCAXNK22 gets you the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro studio headphones (closed-back, over-ear) for $85 with free shipping, and with that, you will also automatically receive for FREE the JBL J22A In-Ears. The promo code brings the price down from $100 to $85.

The “A” in the JBL J22A name stands for Android (button/mic), not MFI.This can be confused because Apple and Android start with an “A” and in the internet era almost everything [exaggeration] has an “i” in its name, not just MFi products (made for iPads/iPhones/iPods).

These offers end 11:59pm pacific time on 9/22/2015 or earlier if they sell out.

The Yamaha EPH-100SL in-ears have now dropped to around $88 at Amazon by Amazon actual {corrected link}, with a limit of five per customer. However, the shipping estimate is a vague “ships within 1 to 2 months”, so if you need them by a specific date or occasion, keep that in mind.

Massdrop Final Audio Design Grab Bag for $49 shipped

Members-only Massdrop is having another grab bag promotion. This time four different Final Audio Design IEMs of four different price levels are participating. One grab bag means you will get one of the four – randomly. You pay $49 with free shipping. Offer ends in 7 days or when 1000 units are purchased, whichever happens first.

The four IEMs participating:

  • Adagio II: 38% of units ($49)
  • Adagio III: 38% of units ($69)
  • Heaven II: 16% of units ($129)
  • Adagio V: 8% of units ($209)

So in the worst case scenario, you will receive the Adagio II. Also, if more than 500 units are purchased, Massdrop have three more advanced IEMs from the Final Audio Design line-up that will be added, one unit of each. So up to three lucky members will get an IEM of $350 or higher.
