New Reference post: the New Headphones of IFA 2017
IFA 2017 is upon us, and to celebrate this, we have began our customary mega round-up post, the New Headphones at IFA 2017. As with previous iterations of CES and IFA reference posts, they will be updated multiple times in the next few days as more and more items are revealed and added to the posts.
Coming early in the day on 8/31/17 will be the official reveal of the LG V30 with its magical audio features 🙂 You can even watch the event live from Berlin (YouTube embedded below):
Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ Earphones Tuned by AKG for $15 with free shipping

This was a daily deal for $12 for two days in a row, so if you prefer to pay less than $15, you can wait for the next time they’ll be in the daily deal rotation (I don’t know when).
[SOLD OUT] Used Creative LIVE Closed Over-Ears for $29
As of 11:56pm ET recheck, the used option got scooped up and is no longer available at this price…
Monoprice Dual Driver Earphones for $9 w/FS
Not as rare as a unicorn, but free standard US shipping is not that common at the Monoprice website, which is why it is a good time when they offer this on select products for a limited time. One such case are the Monoprice Dual Driver earphones, model 14456 (aka the PID), for $9 with free shipping. No coupon needed for this. You can buy as many as you like. This averages 3.9 out of 5 based on 57 customer reviews.

Sale time! The new condition JBL Bassline closed-back over-ear DJ-styled headphones are on sale as a special sale for $25 with free shipping at Adorama.com. A carrying case is included. Here’s a short 360-video of the headphone from the JBL YouTube…
Monoprice 2-in-1 Bluetooth Headphones with External Speakers for $27 w/free S&H
These are not as common, headphones with built-in speakers! Monoprice is offering the new condition 2-in-1 Bluetooth Headphones with External Speakers, model number (aka PID) 15276, going for $27 with free standard US shipping. This is a limited time promotion. No coupon is needed.
Fostex TH-X00 Trio for $400 to $500 at MD
Fostex the Massdrop people! These are biodynamic headphones, not everything Fostex makes is planar magnetic 🙂 Running right now is a trio of Fostex TH-X00 variants (sounds like smartphone-talk) going for $400 in Mahogany, $450 in Ebony, and $500 in Purpleheart. No Ivory 🙂
These are drops that run daily, because of the way the Massdrop website is structured ~ they don’t have a standard / normal listing like Amazon or BestBuy or Newegg and such. Instead they have listings that have to have a starting and ending date. So they keep opening and closing them, so orders can ship quickly.
Yes, these ship quickly by Massdrop standards!
Panasonic RP-HJE120B bluetooth earphones for $33
On the budget bluetooth earphones front, the Panasonic RP-HJE120B, a follow-up on their best selling budget RP-HJE earphones, with bluetooth now, is on sale for $33.31 with free shipping in the red color scheme at amazon.com. Two of the other colors go for around $35, while the white is at $39.
All together they average 3.4 out of 5 based on 98 customer reviews with 13 answered questions. This is not a lightning deal but an organic sale or price-match.
JLab Audio JBuds for $3 (three color options)

They are available in three color schemes, so you can color code them if you are buying for kids or grand kids, or for kids of all ages that keep breaking or losing their earphones.

Gadget Cleaning Kit (six different items) for under $2
This is not a dedicated headphone cleaning kit, but it has a number of accessories that can be used for the maintenance and care of headphones and earphones. Each set contains six different items (three microfiber clothes, cleaning brush, two-sided cleaning pen, 50 paper tissues, spray bottle, air blower). And you can get this AmazonBasics Cleaning kit for $1.94! That’s bang for the buck!
You can buy up to three sets at this price. There is a downside however, it is an ADD ON product, so you must place an order of $25 or more, otherwise Amazon’s shopping cart will refuse to let you buy it. The restriction applies to all, Prime and non-Prime.
This is not a daily deal, so the price is market-driven, it does not have a preset expiration date. In other words, only the Amazon Price Bots know what will happen to its price. And even they probably don’t know until their AI programming tells them 🙂
AmazonBasics Closed Over-Ears for $6.77 [limit 3]
The new condition closed-back over-ear AmazonBasics headphones are on sale again, going for $6.77 with free 2-day shipping for Prime members by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal sale, so there is no preset expiration time. The style looks familiar by off the top of my head I can’t recall its “cousins”. It averages 3.5 out of 5 based on 130+ customer reviews. It is not an Add-On item!
Open-box Meridian Prime Headphone Amplifier for $799
The Meridian Prime Headphone Amplifier is currently available open-box condition (“Used – Like New”) for $799 with free shipping from authorized dealer Gramophone (in Maryland) through Amazon Warehouse Deals. They ship directly from Gramophone in Maryland. The new condition price is $1000.
Still Good: Used V-MODA VAMP Verza Universal Headphone Amplifier for $236
One of the two used listings of this has survived since we mentioned it last week…
… it surfaced (no Microsoft pun intended) during the Warehouse Deals expedition, it is a “USED – Good condition” listing of the V-MODA VAMP Verza Universal Headphone Amplifier going for the very specific price of $236.13 with free shipping, sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual (not marketplace sellers).
To make sure I’m not hallucinating, here’s a screenshot 🙂 [only one of the two listings “survived”]
HIFIMAN Velour Earpads for HE-series for $10 w/free S&H
The HIFIMAN Velour Earpads for their HE-series of headphones, in new condition, are on sale for $10 with free shipping by the Hifiman official store through eBay and through Amazon (free shipping for all but not Prime eligible).
