we find good deals for you!
We have the first discount of the new Galaxy Hype, the new condition Galaxy Buds PRO, in three color options, are on sale for $170 at the Woot website, one of their daily deals until Wednesday 2/10/21 at 11:59pm central time (or earlier if sold out)…
In other daily deal action, at the Best Buy dailies they have:
+ Skullcandy Method bluetooth necklace-style earphones for $30
+ feed the DAPs: 256GB SanDisk ExTreMe PlUs micro-SDXC for $58
+ wireless mini projector for $100
The Thursday February 4 in 2021 daily deals have gone headphone-crazy!
We start at the NewEgg daily deals where we have multiple options:
+ refurbished Sony XB-650-BT “Extra Bass” bluetooth overons for $25
+ Save the FLACs: 10TB WD Elements USB 3.0 desktop HDD for $160 after coupon
+ and the star of the day, the new condition open-back over-ear Beyerdynamic Amiron Home with Tesla technology going for $369 after promo code 93XQF89 entered in the shopping cart
+ sold and shipped by NewEgg itself
Next up we visit the Best Buy dailies where Skullcandy has their Indy Evo truly-wireless on offer for $40…
Last but not least, Woot has another Random Audio sale among their Thursday daily deals with a total of 20 options including:
+ five reburbished Audio Technicas from the ATH series including models from “Solid Bass” (WS-660-BT-BRD for $62) and “Sonic Fuel” and QuietPoint
+ JVC LIVE 650-BT-NC ANC/bluetooth over-ears for $120

+ Klipsch Reference speaker wireless options
+ AmazonBasics 80W bookshelf pair of speakers for $50
+ A/V components from Pioneer, Klipsch, Vizio
+ bluetooth speakers and “suitcase turntable” too
Apple created some current (and more future) confusion with their naming of their over-ear headphones also as Airpods. Just appending the “Max” at the end of the name is not enough for quick consumer disambiguation. Regardless…
… the headliner of the Monday February 1st, 2021 daily deals at the Best Buy website is the geek-stink-breath (TM Green Day) aka Geek Squad refurbished Airpods PRO truly-wireless going for $200 in the white color scheme with a 90-day warranty…
One of the NewEgg deals du jour for Monday January 25 in 2021 (yes, just eleven months until Christmas) is the refurbished Sony CH-700N ANC/Bluetooth over-ears offered for $48 with free US shipping, sold and shipped by marketplace seller VIP Outlet through the NewEgg website.
This is now the previous generation model, and we have here a text and pictures unboxing of it here…
BUT that’s not all, NewEgg’s dailies also have two more earphones of the bluetooth kind as follows:
+ Anker Soundcore Life P2 airpod-style truly-wireless for $34
+ refurbished Anker Soundcore Liberty truly-wireless for $21 after the limited time promo code
+ this promises up to 100 hours battery life (combination of charging-case and on-earphone batteries)
+ this is sold and shipped by the official Anker online store through the NewEgg website
Meanwhile among the B&H daily deals you can get the new condition Motorola Verve Loop 200 necklace-style bluetooth earphones for $12 with free US shipping…
Then we head on to the Best Buy dailies where we find two items of potential head-interest:
+ Corsair HS60 wired gaming headset for $45 as part of the Corsair sale
+ Geek-Stink-Breath (TM Green Day) certified refurbished Samsung Galaxy Buds+ truly-wireless for $50 with a 90-day warranty
Good until Sunday 1/24/21 at 11:59pm central time (or earlier if sold out), Woot is offering as one of their deals of the day the new condition Samsung Galaxy Buds Live truly-wireless earphones for $110. Three “mystic” color options are available but one per customer at the sale price. They come with a 90-day Woot warranty. Shipping is free for Prime members (must needs connect your Prime-Woot accounts, a one-time activity). Otherwise you pay the standard flat calendar-day shipping fee (I think it’s $6 nowadays)…
Speaking of Galaxy Buds, their brand new “hype train du truly-wireless” “Buds PRO” are, as of the time of writing, in-stock and ready to ship for their starting price of $200 at Amazon by Amazon actual in the Phantom Silver and in the Phantom Black color schemes…
If you prefer the Phantom Violet, that one is expected to be in-stock February 5. Keep in mind though Amazon’s estimates, especially for low-supply / high-demand items are rather volatile and change as the minutes and the hours go by…
The brand new $200 Galaxy Buds PRO are the peak of Galaxy anti-Airpods hype train, but if you want to pay less and get a previous generation model, for Wednesday 1/20/21, one of the Best Buy daily deals is the Geek-Squad refurbished Samsung Galaxy Buds Live for $80 with a 90-day warranty…
Meanwhile at Woot there’s a many and more accessories sale of the electronics and technology kind that includes cables, chargers, audio-ish gear and such. Nothing big or name-brand audio-wise but more on the trinkety side of things 🙂
Monday 1/18/21 is headphones day at the Best Buy daily deals it seems, with the following offerings:
+ closed-back over-ear bluetooth Sennheiser HD 458 BT for $100
+ bluetooth 5, apt-X, AAC, apt-X LL, USB-C charging
+ Skullcandy Indy Evo truly-wireless for $50
+ AVerMedia Video Conferencing Kit 317 for $70 includes AverMedia AH313 headset with detachable microphone and USB Type A connector
+ and shaving machines if you want to test the ANC of your headphones 😉
Another variant of the Woot Electronics Garage Sale good until 11/24/21 at 11:59pm central time is running. These are longer-running than daily deals but items do sell-out ~ just page-down over there and you’ll see quite a few sold out…
BUT as of the time of writing, three audio-related items remain in-stock as follows:
+ RHA TrueConnect truly-wireless for $70
+ Klipsch R-2650-CSM II in-ceiling speaker for $100
+ Onkyo CS-265 Home Audio System with CD, Hi-Fi Stereo System, & Bluetooth for $150
Meh has joined the truly-wireless party once again, their Sunday 1/17/21 daily deal is a 2-pack of Airbuds Air3 truly-wireless going for $29 plus shipping. You can’t buy one, they are sold in 2-packs. Shipping is free for paying Meh-members.
The cases are charging cases, and hold up to four charges each, and since they are the same model, you have more flexibility in usage! They are bluetooth 5, with extra eartips included.
Per the Meh listing, it says they come with lifetime warranty, which is linked-to in the Meh specs page. This is the warranty page.
Also per the Meh listing, these are sold at Nordstrom Rack (NR) for twice as much ($30 for one pair at NR versus $29 for two pairs at Meh).
The official name of the bundle is TH15-8UD5-F0R-U, while the official name of the product is WL14681. I’m sure this is something thousands of you were very eager to learn and memorize 🙂
Good until Saturday 1/16/21 at 11:59pm pacific time, or earlier if sold out, the headliner of the Amazon USA Gold Box deals of the day is a sale of 1More headphones, more specifically five truly-wireless options ($50 to $80) and two neckband bluetooth earphones including the Triple Driver neckband bluetooth earphones going for $60…
Thanks to the thicker neckband, these promise up to seven hours playtime and they support LDAC and AAC. They run bluetooth 4.2…
When the deal went live in the early hours of Saturday the sale also included the wired Piston Fit in-ears in the gray color scheme with $8 for up to four per customer BUT as of the time of writing this sale is over and they all go for $15 each…
Samsung has now revealed their new Samsung Galaxy S21 flagship smartphones for which they are having pre-order store credit bonuses along with more generous than usual smartphone trade-in promotions (up to $700 credit on select Galaxy, iPhone and Pixel models)…
OF headphone interest, they revealed the new Galaxy Buds PRO truly-wireless which have been building some pre-release hype (mayhaps as a counter-weight to Apple/Beats hype?). Not only that, but they were the Opening Act of the presentation, they were the first product revealed and Samsung spent considerable time on them!
The video embed below starts playback right at the Buds PRO segment:
Samsung made some bold statements about these (as it is often the case with hype-presentations). These are the notes I took while watching it live:
All this hype can be yours in three colorful color scheme options for $200 at B&H Photo and Amazon actual and such…
OR if you buy it from the Samsung.com store, where you can optionally get it for $150 with an eligible trade-in. This should not be confused with the “up to $700 smartphone trade-in promotion”. The $50 trade-in credit is separate and for the Buds. Not sure exactly how it works: the trade-in info is buried in the fineprint. It is mentioned on the left of the blue “BUY NOW” button at the top right corner of the page over there.
This is YMMV because sometimes I see them as orderable and sometimes as unorderable. This can happen with some combination of Amazon servers de-syncing and high-demand items, or something like that. Anyway, as of the time of writing I’m seeing the black color scheme of the new condition Samsung Galaxy Buds truly-wireless on sale for $49 with free US shipping and one per customer. The other colors are either not on sale or unorderable.
Given that, consider this as a very YMMV deal. This deal has helped propel it to the #3 spot in the Best Selling Earphones at Amazon…
NOTE that the “Buds” are an older model, the first generation in this line released in February 2019 per Wikipedia…
So this $49 on-and-off sale should not be confused with the brand new just-released $200 Galaxy Buds PRO…
PS: a couple of the previous Galaxy Buds models are also on sale, the Buds+ for $110 and the Buds Live for $140, eg at B&H Photo…
If you are a fan of Meh, which tries to keep alive the original pre-Amazon spirit of Woot, their Sunday 1/3/21 daily deal at the Meh website are Braven Fry bluetooth earphones. And you have two options:
+ one pair of Braven Frye truly-wireless for $19
+ two pairs of Frye bluetooth necklace-style earphones for $19
Shipping is extra BUT if you are signed up to their for-pay membership plan, you get free shipping…
UPDATE: under “Electronics” at the Woot daily deals they have the new condition Samsung Galaxy Buds+ (Wireless Charging Case included) in the BTS Special Edition (oh my *faint Beatle-mania style*) for $90, one per customer, with a 1-year Samsung warranty…
Happy New Year, may 2021 bring you great headphones and audio gear, until the rest of the schiit gets fixed 🙂
We start with the headliner of the Best Buy daily deals, they are the Geek-Squad certified refurbished AirPods PRO going for $170, with a 90-day warranty…
Under Electronics of the Woot daily deals they have the new condition Beats Solo ANC/bluetooth closed-back on-ears going for $150 in the light-blue or dark-blue color schemes with a 1-year warranty…
And if you want to sharpen your senses during critical listening sessions, there’s a 2-pack of 30g tins of TeaPigs premium organic matcha for $35 under the Woot “Grocery and Household” daily deal…
For a limited time during the Christmas Day weekend, coupon code AIR25 gets you 25% off the new condition Creative Outlier Air truly-wireless at the Creative Labs online store, dropping them from $80 to $45.
In comparison this goes for $50 at the Amazon Creative Labs store. The other two color options there go for much more, and they are actually different models.
So if you look at the customer reviews over there, make sure you filter them by the customer reviews of this particular model. You can find the pre-filtered reviews here. Sadly Amazon does not calculate a rating score for these and with nearly 500 customer reviews, I can’t calculate them myself on the fly 🙂
They promise up to 10 hours of battery life in the earphones, with a promise of two refills inside the included charging case (USB-C connector thankfully). They are IPX5 rated, with bluetooth 5.0, AAC and apt-X…
The Apple Airpods PRO truly-wireless with wireless charging case, model MWP22AM/A, are a Best Buy daily deal for $223 for Monday but that offer is handily defeated by critically-acclaimed B&H Photo of New York and by Amazon actual offering them for $200 with free US shipping. These have the Apple H1 chip, and you can make the most of them if you are part of the Apple i-eco-system…
Meanwhile the AirPods non-pro with wireless charging case, model MRXJ2AM/A, are going for $160 at Amazon actual and at B&H Photo….
OR if you want a lower price, the AirPods with a charging case (model MV7N2AM/A) go for $130 with free US shipping at B&H Photo…
In addition to their various deals du jour, Woot is also running various other promotions that run for multiple days, sometimes up to a month. One such longer-running sale is very audio/music-centric, it’s another incarnation of their Stocking Stuffer sale and it includes:

Good until Sunday 12/6/20 at 11:59pm eastern time, B&H Photo is offering as one of their deals du jour, the new condition Roland CS-10EM in-ears for $50 with free US shipping… This average 4.5 out of 5 based on 14 customer reviews as of the time of writing…

Meanwhile the Chi-Fi festivities continue at Aliexpress where you can also filter the search results by only looking at marked 11-11 sales. Just like other holidays, 11-11 is more of a state of mind now, it’s not a mere 24 hour period 🙂 Like Black Friday is the whole week, if not the whole month 🙂
The Wednesday 11/11/20 Best Buy deals du jour have a bit of an audio theme to them as the headliner is the SONOS 5 wireless Smart speaker going for $400…
Of truly-wireless interest, they have a Master and Dynamic sale that features:
+ MW-07 GO truly wireless for $160
+ MW07 PLUS truly wireless for $225 in four different color schemes
Judging by the increase in headphones in daily deals, mayhaps retailers, marketers and manufacturers have “upgraded” headphones as some of the hot buy items during the 2020 holiday shopping season ~ an with good season given the COVID situation…
As teased yesterday, among the Wednesday 11/4/20 NewEgg daily deals they have the new condition Sennheiser Momentum Free necklace-style bluetooth earphones on sale for $70 with free US shipping…
Staying with Sennheiser, at the Amazon Gold Box they are offering the new condition IE 80S BT earphones for $200 with free US shipping with up to three pairs per customer. These are neckband-style (hardened) with also a hardened earhook mechanism…
And at the budget side of things, at the Best Buy dailies, the headliner is the new condition Skullcandy Sesh Evo truly-wireless for $25…
Sennheiser is back at the Best Buy daily deals for Saturday October 31st in 2020. No, it’s not a Halloween edition of a headphone 🙂

+ one pair of Braven Frye truly wireless
+ two pairs of Frye necklace-style bluetooth earphones
The model number is W35-8R4V3N, although I’m not sure which one of the two options is the model number. That’s what the Meh website says. What can I say about this other than… meh? 🙂
Sennheiser returns at the Best Buy dailies for Friday October 16 in 2020 with their new condition CX-400BT truly-wireless earphones going for a Sennheiser-y price of $150 with free store pickup or free shipping…

Meanwhile necklace-style exercise-bluetooth are part of the Best Buy dailies with the blue-white JBL Endurance Sprint wireless going for $18…
PS: “necklace style” is what I call bluetooth earphones that are connected by a simple cable, which ends up hanging on your chest sort of like a necklace… Not to be confused with the “neckband style” which go behind the neck and typically have some part of the cable hardened [no, not like Attack On Titan, Annie sends her regards] because I suppose few people want a lose cable dancing on the back of their necks and getting caught onto things …behind your back? 🙂
