The Harman Audio store on eBay is offering the new condition AKG K619 DJ headphones for $29 with free shipping, in three different color schemes (black, red, blue). These are closed-back on-ears. However, do check reviews, multiple people are complaining these are very fragile physically, so that’s probably factored in the big discount.

The Amazon Gold Box deal of the day for Saturday 7/18/15 is the new condition Motorola S11-Flex HD Bluetooth Headset (solid frame, behind the neck) for $34.99. You can buy as many as you like. Woot is the seller of record but the order is fulfilled by Amazon.com, so you get the usual free 2-day Prime shipping or with a $35+ order. Which is why the $34.99 price is important, because you have to buy something else, or at least two of these for free shipping if you are not a Prime member. These average 3.5 out of 5 based on over 1300 customer reviews. They also have 220+ questions answered by other amazon.com customers. The offer ends by 3am ET on Sunday or earlier if they sell out.

Also going for $30 is the T1-E in blue or transparent gray.
These kinda look like teeth, which may (or may not) make them a good gift idea for anyone working in dentistry 🙂

The closed-back over-ear first generation Sennheiser Momentum in the brown color scheme are currently available in refurbished condition for $84 plus $6 flat shipping by Adgtron thru Amazon Warehouse Deals. They ship directly from Adgtron, so no Prime shipping benefits. There are listings of these under both Used and Refurbished so check the different tabs over there to see where the best prices are (they do change). The other two colors go for $100+ from various sellers.
The closed-back over-ear Shure SRH 1540 (not to be confused with the 1440/1840 open-back duo) is currently available in “Used – Good” condition for around $387 by Amazon Warehouse Deals while the the “Used – Very Good” condition goes for $412~.
The new condition Thinksound on1 on-ear headphones go for $200 at the moment, but if you prefer used, you can get them in “Used – Like New” condition (original damaged packaging) for $150 by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. There’s only one listing at the moment in used condition. They average 4.5 out of 5 based on 41 customer reviews. These are of the wooden kind.
There are multiple used listings of the Philips SHB7150FB/27 bluetooth headphones at Amazon Warehouse Deals in “Used – Very Good” condition. If the price is not right, you can also keep an eye on it – sometimes when the available used quantity is not moving fast enough for their pricing computers, their prices drop. But I have no idea how their computers decide how to do this, so this is very YMMV. They average 4 out of 5 based on 29 customer reviews.
The closed-back over-ear Shure SRH 940 are currently available in refurbished condition for $199 with free shipping by Audiotopia thru Amazon Warehouse Deals. These are refurbished by Audiotopia with a 30-day money-back guarantee from them. This ships from an Amazon warehouse, so you get free 2-day Prime shipping if a member.

The frequently discussed Sennheiser HD 700 “deputy” of their flagship line-up is now fully unlocked at members-only Massdrop for $480 with free shipping. The offer just launched today, with seven days left to go. Note however that shipments will begin August 3rd, so if you need it quickly, this is not it. It is free to join Massdrop, but because some of the items offered are below MAP (minimum advertised pricing), the Internet Price Police does not allow them to open it without requiring people to sign-in and login.
TIP: before buying this, if you are not already familiar, it may be a good idea to do some research on amps that go with it.

UPDATE (7/13/15 AM): the $100 spots are all full, and so are the $120 spots. About 2/3rds of the $140 spots remain.
UPDATE (7/12/15 AM): two spots opened at the $100 price, but they probably won’t last long! The $120 is 100% full and there’s plenty of space (2/3rds available) at the $140 price level…
Headroom has a Kickstarter project, their Telos Acoustics Fujisan in-ears have just launched on Kickstarter. Already all the $100 options have been filled up, the next spot is $120 that gets you the earphones along with six pairs of eartips and a leather carrying case. About half of the $120 spots have been filled. The next spot is $140, then $160, then $180. Stingy internet, no one pledged more than $120 or less than $100 (no earphones at that price). Estimated delivery is October 2015. With 29 days left, they already have 28% of their funding goal in.
These will have a general release (outside Kickstarter) on December 1st with a starting price of $300 according to the Telos website. Per that, the naming signifies an attempt to make an endgame IEM of sorts. Just posted are the Innerfidelity measurements
IF you like practical bang for the buck repurposed earphone cases, you may want to check your local brick and mortar household stores or sections. while strolling at Bed, Bath and Beyond (Linens and Things is out of business, so I can no longer confuse the two), I noticed two different sizes of reclosable soap dish boxes going for 99c regular price, and available in multiple colors, including almost see-through/transparent. One opened briefcase-style, the smaller one opened up top. For bonus points, you can line it with bubble mailer or other protective material so the earphones won’t bump against the sides.
Plus, there is something priceless when you are at the office or at a coffee shop and you open a soap dish box and pull out earphones – on-lookers can get confused and/or entertained 🙂
Other stores (including dollar stores) probably have them as well at similar prices. I just spotted them at BBB.

Since Monoprice rarely offers free shipping on their website, and they have them on sale at the same time, this is a good opportunity to scoop them up. If nothing else, for $18, the Monoprice 8323 gives you a frame of reference when participating or reading various forum discussions.
