[DEAD] Used Yamaha EPH-M100 in-ears for $37 (was $43)

As of a 2/19/15 re-check, the used offers at these prices sold out…

The black color scheme of the Yamaha EPH-M100 in-ears is currently available for $37 (was $43) with free shipping, in “Used – Good” condition at Amazon Warehouse Deals.

This is one of the first headphones subjects/victims that we are doing experimental review diary and unboxing posts… Price updated 1/23/15.

NOTE: this is a newer model, with a more consumer-y sound. It should not be confused with the older EPH-100 in-ears. The difference in the model name is so small, it’s an extra “M”, so it can be easily confused.

Strategy session: lots of new Sennheiser headphones

If you were thinking of getting headphones from some of the existing Sennheiser product lines (Momentum, RS, or bluetooth/ANC), please note that at CES 2015, the company announced, among others, the second generation of their Momentums, new Bluetooth + NFC + ANC versions of Urbanites and Momentums, and a brand new RS-series lineup. As of the time of writing, these are not yet available for pre-order from the major online retailers but some can be ordered through the Sennheiser website at the wallet-lament MSRP prices. I am slowly putting together a list of the new headphones at CES 2015, but I am slightly behind 🙂

Philips SHP9500 over-ear open-back for $78

The Philips SHP9500 over-ear open-back headphones are currently fully unlocked for $78~ shipped at Massdrop, with about seven days left in this promotion. Keep in mind, most Massdrop items take a while to ship. This one has a February 10 estimated shipping date.

If you don’t want to buy from Massdrop, there’s another option, you can get them on eBay for about the same price from eBay seller “deallegend” (100%, 196, ships from California).

These have 50mm drivers, 32 ohm impedance, detachable single-side cable (no mic/remote). As you can see from the detailed pictures, these are open back. The giant L and R printed on the outer side of the earphones may turn some off, but one cannot argue that it’s hard to figure out left from right 😉

Massdrop: ZMF Master Headphones as low as $300

The ZMF Master Headphones can drop as low as $300 (with shipping included) at Massdrop. There are two versions, one more balanced, one more bassy/warmer. You can select which one at checkout, along with which cable you prefer (XLR or 1/4″ or 1/8″). There is a maximum of fifteen units available for this drop, and it becomes unlocked at 10. Only 2 commits so far. This ends in about five days from today.

PS #1: Massdrop is a members-only website, and you need to have an account with them in order to see the actual products, that’s why I am not posting links, since it redirects to their homepage if you are not logged on to their account. This would create more confusion. Everyone can sign up for their service.

PS #2: if you are not interested in Massdrop offerings, please let me know in the comments or the contact form so I won’t mention them as often.
