Sennheiser IE80 In-Ears for $170 [update]
UPDATE: you can get them for $170 with free shipping at Sonix Electronix using the $10 off coupon code shown there (coupon 80WESTHF). Thanks to Allan for pointing it out!
ORIGINAL POST: Herding cats is easier than keeping track of all of Sennheiser’s headphone models, which brings us to the Sennheiser IE80 in-ears on sale for $180 with free shipping with a limit of three per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual. This has a “December 3” in-stock estimate, so keep that in mind.
Audio Technica M50x + Fiio A1 + Slappa Case for $129
If you need all three, this is a great deal. You don’t have to use them all three together, some of these bundles are more useful when seen that way. That was a “cold open” to this Buydig eBay offer, the new condition Audio Technica M50X headphone in either black or white, is bundled with a Slappa case and the portable Fiio A1 headphone amp for $129 with free shipping, with a limit of five per buyer. If you need all three, this is a good deal. If you only need two or less, you could wait for future discounts ~ unless you need them all right away.
Massdrop x Fostex TH-X00 for $400
I may have exceeded my lifetime quota of “Fostex the people” jokes, but the Massdrop x Fostex TH-X00 is back on again at Massdrop going for $400 with free shipping with three days left in the offer (from Black Friday) with a reasonable early December 2016 shipment estimate. A total of 450 units are available, so theoretically it could sell out earlier.
V-Moda M100 with BoomPro Headset Mic for $187 with coupon
The previously mentioned Musician’s Friend coupon BLACKFRIDAY or CYBERMONDAY can get you the new condition V-Moda M100 Shadow with a free BoomPro headset mic for $187~ with free shipping.
The “Matte Black” color scheme goes for $13 less regular price compared to the “Shadow”, but the “Matte Black” is not in-stock (estimated shipping is 12/12/16), so their shopping cart does not allow the coupon discount on it.
Meanwhile the white silver is in-stock and about $5 more than the “Shadow” and it too gets the BoomPro mic.
The M100 is the wired closed-back over-ear, which got discounted after V-Moda released a bluetooth version of it. So you see, bluetooth is sometimes beneficial to audiophiles in a roundabout kind of way 🙂
PS: the BoomPro is not a leftover gift, it goes for $30 on its own and averages 4.4 out of 5 based on 680+ customer reviews.
Beyerdynamic DT770 (16 ohm) for $100

[DEAD] Monoprice 15494 Portable USB DAC/amp for $50 w/free S&H

Because it’s on sale and it gets free shipping too, it’s not eligible for the 20% off coupon code BF2016 (I just tried it, it doesn’t work on it).
Coupon: 20% off at Monoprice (eg Desktop Head-Amp for $79)
For Friday (November 25, 2016) coupon code BF16 gets you 20% off near site-wide at Monoprice.com (some products and brands are excluded). Among items of interest is the Monoprice 11567 Desktop Headphone amp dropping to $79 after coupon ($98.56 – 20% off = $78.85).
