Used JLab Omni Bluetooth Over-Ears for $70~
Bluetooth headphones may not win any audiophile awards, but when you want to move around and don’t want to deal with cables creating trouble or even ruining your headphones, bluetooth can be a compromise, at least for some. The new JLab Omni folding bluetooth over-ears go for $100 in new condition, but if you are cool with used headphones, they are available in “Used – Good” condition for $69 or “Used – Very Good” for $71.50 or “Used – Like New” for $73 by Amazon Warehouse Deals. There are many listings, so this may perhaps create price pressure and further drop prices (this is only a theory).

+ Shure SRH-1840
+ Sennheiser HD 380 Pro and HD25-1 II
+ the HD 650 are eligible for the promotion, however, they are estimated to be in-stock December 26, which is too late if you are planning to give them as a Christmas gift

15% off on 70+ headphones at MF with coupon (eg Focal Classic and Pro)
Musician’s Friend has a new coupon code, use code STNICK to get 15% off an order of $49 or more from over 40,000 products which includes 80+ headphones. The headphones are under the “Pro Audio” category. As usual, price check items of interest as MF prices are typically different than Amazon and such. I can’t price-check 80+ headphones on a dime, but of potential interest are the Focal Classic and Professional going for 15% off their regular prices of $350 (= $298) and $400 (= $340) which decidedly beat Amazon’s prices. You can filter by manufacturer using the left sidebar of their page. Coupon expires 12/23/14.
B&M Dec 21-27: Audio Technica sport-fit and core-sport earphones for $5 each
According to the Staples Weekly Ad for the week of December 21-27 (2014) posted on their website under the “Weekly Ad” section, their brick and mortar stores will have the “Audio Technica sport-fit and core-sport headphones” for $5 per pair. The picture shows a pair of earphones and says assorted SKUs but does not specify which particular models are participating. This will likely get clarified on Sunday Dec-21-2014 when the deals go live. Not all their stores carry these, so it is definitely a YMMV.
