Fully Unlocked at Massdrop: Meelectronics IEM Grab Bag, AKG K181 DJ, BeyerD T90

Members-only Massdrop is probably going to add a few more new members this week. Three new offers were launched today (they have about seven days left from blog-posting date here) and all three of them are fully unlocked (which in their own lingo means the lowest price possible under this particular promotion). The three items are the AKG K181 DJ UE on-ear headphones going for $80 shipped and the Beyerdynamic T90 Tesla for $450 shipped. The third item is not an …item…

MeElectronics Grab Bag Temptation

… No I am not going in Yoga mode 🙂 It is a Grab Bag of sorts. You pay $25 plus $3 flat shipping and you are guaranteed to receive one of three IEMs. Most people will receive the M-Duo Dual-Drivers (55%). Some will receive the second generation A151P (balanced armature, 35%), while one in ten (literally) will receive the M6 Pro (which go for $50 at amazon). The Duos also go for about that price. I’m not sure what the price of the second generation A151 is, but the first generation goes for $40. So regardless, $28 will get you earphones that are worth more than $28! You can buy two of these, shipping is an extra $1 for the second item. So if you buy two, you pay $54 total. You cannot select which ones you receive – luck decides that for you – that’s what makes it a Grab Bag. Given that 55% are M-Duos, even if you buy two, you may receive two M-Duos (or any other combination).

But that’s not all. Shoppers who buy these will be entered into a drawing. The prizes include the upcoming MeElec Pinnacle P1 in-ears ($200 price), the AKG K7XX Massdrop edition, and the Shure SE425. If even more people join in, two more prizes will be added, the Shure SE535 and an unspecified flagship with a four figure price.
