EU: Shure SRH-840 Closed Over-Ears for 105 euro

Shure may surely sound like a Germanic type of company that goes along with the Sennheiser-Beyerdynamic-AKG trio, but it was actually founded in Chicago. But mayhaps to attract the European audience, as of the time of writing, their new condition closed-back over-ear studio-y SRH-840 headphones are on sale for 105 euro at Amazon Germany, sold and shipped by Amazon.de actual, not iffy marketplace sellers…

This is part of the well-known studio-y line-up starting with the lesser known 240A, then the formerly-frequent guest in the “$100 recommendations” SRH-840, then the SRH-940. There’s also the “new line-up” with the 1XX0 that has both open and closed headphones…

Tue: Sennheiser HD 2.30 [i/G] Closed On-Ears for $30

+ NuForce BE Free8 truly-wireless for $20

+ Alesis Elevate 3 Mark II studio monitor pair (20W, 3″ two-way, Active) for $50

Not headphone-headphones but earmuff-headphones are among the Monday Gold Box (USA edition) where they have Walker’s Razor Slim passive earmuffs ($19 to $40) and electronic Game Ear Razor Slim ($32 to $88)…

Meanwhile in their teaser for Tuesday, the NewEGG daily deals tease they’ll have a daily deal (on Tuesday, not today) on the Sennheiser HD 2.30G closed-back on-ears. The teaser shows the white “Galaxy” version but other colors/options may also be on sale. It’s hard to tell now because the promotion is not active…

Sunday: refurbished Klipsch S2m In-Ears for $20

If you want to try out Klipsch earphones on the down low, the Sunday 9/6/20 NewEgg deals of the day include the refurbished Klipsch S2m in-ears going for $20 with free US shipping, sold and shipped by NewEgg actual.

Sony WH-CH710N ANC/Bluetooth Over-Ears for $98

The pre-launch of B&H Photo’s Labor Day offerings includes some consumer-tier headphones, among which you can get a $100 ANC/bluetooth over-ear combo, if you don’t want to get into the $300 “Battle of the Giants” but also don’t want to buy from the non-audio budget brands around $50 at Amazon and such…

To cut a long story short, the new condition Sony WH-CH710 is on sale for $98 with free US shipping for a limited time at B&H Photo. As of the time of writing it averages 4.5 out of 5 based on 19 customer reviews…

I haven’t seen or touched this newer model, but we have here a text and pictures un-boxing of the previous-generation model, the WH-CH700N {the PORG is not included ~ it is our “blog pet”}.

One utilitarian and welcome difference for many, when looking at the B&H gallery pictures, the new WH-CH710N has USB-C charging, finally doing away with good old micro-USB.

Speaking of which, I hope there is a recycling program for all the millions and millions of de-commissioned micro-USB cables 🙂

PS: buying from B&H you are guaranteed to get the US model. Some of the marketplace sellers on Amazon are not as reliable, but if you are comfortable with that, a couple of them are selling it for the same price with some freebie accessories (eg stand, case, etc).

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? 🙂
