And now we head to the other end of the price spectrum, the good old lightweight Panasonic RP-HT21 on-ears are on sale at Jet.com for $5 with free shipping. Their shopping cart has a built-in volume discount, if you are increase the quantity, the price drops by about a quarter for each additional unit.
Not much info is available at Jet, but these have over 3200 customer reviews at amazon.com with an average of 4.3 out of 5. Note that these are open-back headphones, so there is leakage in both directions.
Note also that Jet fulfills orders of their own and also farm them out to various other sellers throughout the country. Unlike Amazon that shows upfront who the actual seller is, you won’t see it on the Jet website unless you are about ready to place the order. It may not be an issue for a $5 pair of headphones but if you are buying something expensive or something that you want to have warranty from an authorized dealer, this is something to pay attention to.
