Surprise! The AudioQuest DragonFly Red USB DAC/amp is finally available at a more reasonable used price! As of the time of writing “fulfilled by Amazon” marketplace seller “AmazinSavings” (93%) is offering the Red dragonfly for $150 with free Prime shipping through Amazon Warehouse Deals in “Used – Like New” condition.

Now available: FOCAL Utopia by Tournaine (Gold, Diamonds)
If you want to dazzle everyone at the next audio meet-up, you can’t go wrong with the Focal Utopia by Tournaire headphones, open-back, over-ear, open-wallet, with 18K gold, mounted with 6.5 carats of diamonds for the one “low” price of $100,000 🙂 These are a special order, so there is some wait involved. Anyone who bought lots of shares of Apple or Google or Facebook the day they went public, you have earned this 😉
RHA CL1 In-Ears In-Stock March 7 for $214
As I suspected when I mentioned it last week, a few more days would give us a better in-stock estimate, and they have! As of the time of writing, the new condition RHA CL1 ceramic in-ears have a March 7 in-stock estimate (that’s closer than it sounds because February is a short month) at Amazon by Amazon actual at their sale price of $214.28 with free shipping and up to three pairs per customer at the sale price.
Not to jinx it, but it’s nice of them to bring back something that was out of stock for a while at a sale price. Instead of trying to milk those (im)patiently waiting for it.
[DEAD] Wedn: refurb Parrot Zik: first gen for $55, second gen for $80

If your DAP or PAD (phone as DAP) is compatible with 200GB microSDXC memory cards, the 200GB Sandisk microSDXC Ultra card is on sale for $63 with free shipping by Amazon actual. This is an old school sale, not a lightning deal, so expiration time is not fixed.
FOCAL ELEAR Open Over-Ear drops to $699
Down goes Elear! Earlier in the morning when I was deal-fishing at Amazon the FOCAL ELEAR went for $750, but as of the time of writing, two fulfilled by Amazon sellers (Audio Advisor and Audio Fanatic) have dropped to $699 with free Prime shipping. You can also see the big picture with the detailed listing. I don’t know if those two “fulfilled by Amazon” sellers are authorized FOCAL dealers.
The price now matches the FOCAL ELEX at Massdrop which also go for $700. Their “drop” is ending in about one day and change. Unlike the “fulfilled by Amazon” which ships in about two days, the Elex at Massdrop will ship in late April 2018. Patience is definitely a virtue.
Definitive Technology Symphony 1 Executive Over-Ears for $100
A marketplace seller fulfilled by Amazon is currently offering the new condition Definitive Technology Symphony 1 Executive Over-Ears with ANC and bluetooth for $100 with free shipping and handling. They are closed-back (as almost all the ANC and bluetooth headphones are). Not much is available on these on this product page, so DuckDuckGo is your friend 🙂
Pioneer SE Monitor 5 Closed Over-Ears for $761
We go from a $13 item to a $761 item 🙂 The new condition Pioneer SE Monitor 5 closed-back over-ear headphones are currently going for the very specific price of $760.67 with free shipping by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal and it doesn’t look like it’s a price-match.

Controversy: Venture Electronics owner threatens shopping ban for customers who leave reviews lower than 5 out of 5
There is an on-topic controversy of the earbud kind the headphones sub-reddit. The owner of Venture Electronics, the makers of the famous VE Monk earbuds, threatened to ban any customer who leaves a customer review that is less than “5 out of 5” on their website. This obviously did not sit well with consumers as it is a bad practice. I’ve written an opinion blog-post on this. Spoiler alert: it’s a bad idea!
I will monitor the situation and decide what to with regards to future VE deal-posts here depending on whether/how the company/owner attempts to clean up their act.
Refurbished AKG K840 KL (Kleer) Wireless On-Ears for $120
If you are a fan of the KLEER digital wireless technology (as opposed to RF or IR found in lower cost products), also part of the weekly Harman website deals is the recertified AKG K840 KL On-Ears going for $120 with free 2nd-day air and a 1-year warranty. Limit up to five per customer.
I didn’t know AKG too had Kleer technology headphones. Sennheiser used them in their RS160 and above previous-generation wireless but they switched apparently to their own technology with the newer RS**5 models. This being an on-ear is a more mobile setup, with the transmitter looking more like a smartphone power-bank than a 50s scifi ground control device 🙂
Refurbished AKG K3003i In-Ears for $500
No, we have not turned into an AKG blog 🙂 The weekly deals of the Harman/JBL online stores have just come out and they happen to have a handful of headphones this week, headlined mayhaps by the recertified AKG K3003i In-Ears going for $500 with free 2nd-day air shipping and a 1-year warranty. The sales typically run Monday up until Sunday (or earlier if sold out). Limit up to five per customer for this model during this sale.
Refurbished AKG K845 BT Bluetooth Over-Ears for $100
It’s A Song of AKG and Bluetooth! The White Walker color scheme of the AKG K845 BT closed-back over-ear bluetooths is on sale for $100 with free 2nd-day shipping and a 1-year warranty at the official Harman Audio store. This is part of their weekly sales which start on Mondays. The Night Watch (black) color scheme is not sale.
Refurbished AKG K495 ANC On-Ears for $70 w/free 2nd-day Air
Monday is here which means another round of weekly deals at the official Harman/JBL stores. The sales including the recertified AKG K-495 ANC On-Ears going for $70 with free 2nd-day air and 1-year warranty.
Many of the six customer reviews there complain of bad construction and breakage, so keep that in mind, especially if you are planning to use them in adventurous situations or have a bigger head (the full extension puts more pressure on a fragile headphone). I’ve had a different model of their on-ears and it just broke off at the extension area without any rough handling. Because of my not so tiny head, I had to wear it fully extended. So if you hate returns/exchanges, this is a higher risk item.
AKAI Project 50X Closed Over-Ears for $25
They are back on the sale cycle, they are the new condition AKAI Project 50X Closed Over-Ears going for $24.99 with free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order. Limit up to three pairs per customer. They went as low a $18 last summer where they were doing the “falling knife” thing.
They are folding, and as you can tell by the pictures and the name, they are an Audio Technica M50x “homage” 🙂 Their accessories may be worth about half the price of the headphones, two pairs of cables are included (detachable), along with an adapter and a leatherette pouch. They average 3.5 out of 5 based on 220+ customer reviews.
