Wedn (EU): Phiaton, Cowin, Necklace, Jaybird, Etc

Yesterday they had Sony Walkmen DAPs, today (Wednesday) the Amazon Germany Gold Box sales includes a pot pouri of headphones including the Cowin E7 PRO ANC/BT over-ears for 52 euro, the Phiaton BT 330 NC on-ears (with ANC/BT too), a couple of unknown brand gaming headsets, and half a dozen bluetooth necklace earphones…

PS: by “necklace earphones” I mean the ones that have a cable connecting the two earpieces but don’t have a 3.5mm audio input, so the cable loops around your neck like a … necklace.

BUT WAIT, there’s more! There’s also a Logitech x Jaybird sale that includes various UE bluetooth speakers but also half a dozen Jaybird earphones. From the necklace department they have the Freedom for 49 euro and the Freedom 2 for 69 euro, while from the “truly wireless” they have the Jaybird RUN for 119…

PS2: we actually have a text and pictures unboxing of the Jaybird Run here. I posted it 13.5 months ago and almost forgot 🙂
