we find good deals for you!
We start Sunday with a new headphone deal of the day, this one is good until Sunday 12/27/20 at 11:59pm eastern, at B&H Photo, it is the new condition CLEER Flow ANC/Bluetooth Over-Ears for $60 with free US shipping…
This uses bluetooth 4.2 with NFC, has 3.5mm audio input as well, includes a carrying case and charges via micro-USB. However, despite the older BT version, it supports all the audiophile-friendly standards, LDAC, apt-X HD, apt-X and AAC.
The normalization of bluetooth continues with CANJAM hype 🙂 These goofily named bluetooth over/on-ear [not sure which one it is] are available at the Massdrop website for $45 with free US shipping with a mid-May shipping estimate. There’s no mention of warranty in the listing…
“This” refers to the closed-back M&O MOOH-BE00BT, which come with a case and the usual (charging cable, audio cable, etc). These play with 3.5mm and over Bluetooth 4.0 with apt-X support.
They also come with a flat headphone stand. It is an unusual stand, it holds them folded, with one earcup resting on the flat stand. This is not a hanging stand [see pictures over there, easier than me trying to describe it here]. You can select in the shopping cart whether you want a clear or black stand.
Depending on the shape of the earcups of your other headphones, if/how they fold, and how their weight is balanced, they may or may not fit on these [unlike conventional standing stands that can fit most headphones].
Do you like purple headphones? If so, you can get a pretty, pretty, pretty good deal on the new condition FOCAL Listen Chic bluetooth over-ears, they are on sale for $169 with free US shipping at B&H Photo… The other three colors go for $299…
This is not a daily deal, so I do not know when the price will change…
Optionally you can purchase the headphone together with an AURAY headphone stand with a 20% off discount on the price of the AURAY (not the headphone)…
They come with a 2-year warranty, a carrying case, detachable cable (for 3.5mm listening) and charging cable. The bluetooth is version 4.1 with apt-X support.
I must admit, the green and blue color schemes look nicer than the purple, but not $130 nicer for sure 🙂
PS: if you don’t want them purple Listen Chics, please feel free to send them to me. I will unbox and review them eventually 🙂
Running up until 11:59pm eastern time on Saturday 2/29/2020, at B&H Photo of New York, you can get the new condition Audio Technica ATH-DSR-5-BT neckband bluetooth earphones for $120 with free US shipping. These support apt-X HD and the user manual is linked-to at the forelinked product page. No customer reviews of it over there…
We land back in Germany with the headliner deal of the day at Amazon.de ~ thanks to a 50 euro off clip-on coupon (you have to click on the little box before the coupon name ~ while logged on to an Amazon account because it stores the coupon in your account) you can get the new condition Vonmahlen bluetooth on-ears for 129 euro in your choice from three stylish color schemes.
This is the first time I’ve seen this brand so I know nothing (Jon Snow). The earcups rotate 180 degrees and the hinge folds 90 degrees. It promises up to 21 hours of playtime. They come with a nice case, extra earpads and cables (charging and 3.5mm audio for wired playback). It supports bluetooth 4.2 with apt-X. They average 4.8 out of 5 based on 24 customer reviews over there…
Mayhaps a price-match of the Best Buy daily deal, but Amazon actual is currently offering the new condition MEE Audio Matrix 3 closed-back over-ear bluetooth headphones for $80 with free shipping and handling with up to six per customer at the sale price. This is an apt-X low latency model, of interest for TV and video viewing as well. It has bluetooth 4.0 with apt-X and promises up to 24 hours battery life. It also plays music via 3.5mm input.
Note that there are multiple different models on the same listing, so you have to filter the customer reviews for this particular model…
For a limited time [and not eligible for the weekend coupon], the Monoprice website is offering the new condition Monoprice 8323 with bluetooth closed-back over-ear headphones for $20 with free standard US shipping. Limit up to twenty pairs per customer at the sale price.
This is a newer model based on the wired 8323s. 8323 was their Monoprice PID, and because of the way their website works, new products get assigned new and unique PIDs. Thus the PID for the bluetooth 8323 is actually 24735 🙂 The customer reviews of the two are mixed together so keep that in mind ~ the vast majority of them there are for the older wired model.
I’ve had the wired model and certainly for the price it was a great deal but note that if you have a big head, this may be a tight fit. I could just barely fit inside and they do take up volume on your head when expanded.
They come with apt-X, and considering the price, one has to wonder exactly what the licensing fee for apt-X is and whether some of the more high-end headphone manufacturer (s’ fans) are using the apt-X fee as an excuse to justify the lack of it 🙂
PS: don’t forget to also check their Overstock sale of nearly 500 items for some randomness…
Among the Thursday 11/8/18 daily deals at the Best Buy website, you can get the new condition closed-back over-ear MEE Electronics Matrix3 bluetooth headphones for $60 with free shipping or free store pickup where possible/available. But that’s not all. Best Buy is also bundling with this the MEE Audio Bluetooth transmitter.
The headphone on its own has nearly 1000 customer reviews, it averages 3.9 out of 5 at amazon.com…
At the chagrin of some audiophiles, combo Bluetooth with ANC over-ear headphones are all the rage these days, so every manufacturer and their sister brands are trying to grab a piece of the pie. Which brings us to one of the NewEgg deals du jour for Tuesday, promo code EMCSEEPU3 gets you the new condition Philips SHB9850NC/27 ANC/BT Over-Ears for $48 with free shipping. This runs on Bluetooth 4.0 with apt-X and AAC support.
The Best Buy daily deals have also triggered a price-match of this at Amazon by Amazon actual, it is the new condition Audio-Technica ATH-DSR7BT closed-back over-ear bluetooth headphones using the recently revealed A-T “Pure Drive” hype-technology/buzz-word. Limit three per customer at Amazon. They support apt-X HD.
If you are looking for a solid bluetooth over-ear headphone with a bit of a bass favor, eBay seller “Buzz Tronics” (New York) is offering the new condition V-Moda Crossfade Wireless (bluetooth closed-back over-ears) for $128 with free shipping. Up to three pairs per color per customer. Four colors are available. The various colors are handy if you are buying them for members of the same household or office, so you can easily tell them by color, eg Kid #1 has the red, Kid #2 has the silver, Kid #3 has the black.
On the other hand, if you are a more apt (pun intended) to favor apt-X technology in your bluetooths, the new condition V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless in the Rose Gold color scheme (the only color with apt-X support) is currently on sale for $201 with free shipping by Amazon actual with up to three pairs per customer at the sale price. This is not a lightning deal, so expiration time is unknown…
Good news, bad news! If you wished there was a bluetooth version of the legendary Koss Porta PROs, we have both! A brand new wireless (bluetooth 4.1 with apt-X) version is now available for purchase at Massdrop. The bad news is that it goes for $75. Up to three headphones per customer. The drop is limited to US (free shipping) and Canada.
Seven more units need to get purchased before this offer unlocks. The drop ends Sunday night. It will ship in late May 2018 and it comes with just a 1-year warranty, not the legendary Koss limited lifetime warranty.
This is a feast of trade-offs and silver linings… A hard case is included. No NFC.
However, if you don’t want to wait for Massdrop, for $5 more you can get them from KOSS fulfilled by Amazon. $80 wiht free shipping ~ free 2-day shipping for Prime members. Two days is faster than late May 2018 🙂 Amazon does not have a limit, you can buy as many as you want.

Saturday is gone and with it it took its daily deals. So poetic 🙂
The new condition Creative Aurvana Gold Bluetooth and ANC Over/On-Ears [can’t tell based on the unusual shape of the earcups] are currently on sale for $80 with free shipping at Amazon, offered at this price by both Amazon actual, and the Creative Labs Amazon store. This is an older model, as indicated by the bluetooth 3.0, but it supports apt-X and AAC. They also play music via a 3.5mm input and come with a travel pouch.
If you are looking for a low cost utilitarian bluetooth earphone that even supports apt-X, for a limited time, coupon code 8KQXPCX6 will drop the price of the new condition AUKEY Latitude from $26 to $18 with free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order. The coupon is a 31% off discount on the current price. These average 4 out of 5 based on 720+ customer reviews and have 100+ answered questions.

AUKEY is fond of coupons! Coupon code J6IEQT56 discounts the current price of the new condition AUKEY EP-B44 Bluetooth Earphones (with apt-X) by 47%. The current price is $28, so with the coupon it will be just above $14. This is fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get free 2-day shipping. Or with a $25+ order for non-members. This apt-X critter averages 4.1 out of 5 based on 28 customer reviews, and comes with a 24-month warranty. It supports bluetooth 4.1, and the earshells are magnetic (you can wear them like a necklace).
It does not say when the coupon expires…
If you wished someone made a bluetooth version of good old Monoprice 8323 closed-back over-ear headphones and put them on sale and gave them free shipping, you’ve come to the right post 🙂
Monoprice Headphone #24735 is the 8323 with bluetooth (apt-X) currently on sale for $25 with free standard US shipping. The free shipping is a bigger deal than the discount in price. It has earcup controls (instead of annoying little buttons on the perimeter underside of the earcups.
Based on the pictures they look similar to the 8323 (which I have), but I have not seen or touched the 8323 with Bluetooth (aka the #24735), so I can’t compare them.
Speaking of Monoprice, if you are looking for something to test headphone isolation and active noise cancelling, and you also need adjustable temperature hot water for your coffee/tea/etc, the Monoprice Strata 1.7L Electric Kettle is on sale for $36 with free standard US shipping. This is AC powered. It will be ruined if you put it on stovetop!

Another one of the new CES 2018 headphones is now in-stock and ready to ship! In either the black or the blue color schemes, you can get the new condition JLab Epic Sports exercise bluetooth (4.2, apt-X) earphones for $100 with free shipping, sold by the JLab Audio Amazon store, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get them in two days or so.
As usual with new releases, these are for the early adopters, the “brand fans” and the reviewers. If you don’t need/want them right away, it’s smarter to wait for a few weeks to read more reviews and see whether there’s any discounting.
You can get a summary of the Stock Situation of some of the new CES 2018 headphones at our just updated Headphone Tracker …tracking post 🙂
If you don’t want to chase these in the lightning deals, they are on sale in a more conventional fashion at the moment, the new condition Avantree Bluetooth 4.0 Over-Ears with apt-X go for $35 with free shipping (sold by Avantree, fulfilled by Amazon so Prime eligible). They claim up to 40 bluetooth hours per charge, they also play music via 3.5mm input and come with a 24 month warranty.
Optionally, when scroll down to the “Special offers and product promotions” section of the Amazon product page, you will find ten different combined purchase discounts. Some are coupons, others are “add both to cart”.
The closed-back wired over-ear Monoprice 8323 are one of the sub-$40 bang for the buck headphones (with interchangeable cable to boot). Piggy-backing on their popularity, Monoprice has now released a bluetooth version with apt-X support, the model 24735 (a side-effect of the temporally-based sequential way hey name their products, they couldn’t have a model name with 8323 in it)…
… and this bluetooth model is now on sale for $25 with free standard US shipping at the Monoprice website. No coupon is needed, the price you see is the price you pay! This is a limited time offer, expiration date unknown.
I haven’t seen the bluetooth version, but I have the old-school model. Despite their size and expansion on your head when you wear them, they just barely fit on my head. I have an above average head size/volume, but by no means the largest one, so keep that in mind! I rarely have head-size “just barely fits” issues with over-ears.
This sale is back! The new condition V-moda Crossfade II Over-Ears in the Matte Black color scheme drop from $329 to $229 in the shopping cart when you enter coupon code CYBERDEALS in the checkout page (you have to enter an email address to enter the coupon; you don’t have to fill up the rest of data fields).
Or if you prefer apt-X, the Rose/Gold Color Scheme which is the only one of the three colors that supports Qualcomm’s apt-X drops from $349 to $239. Yes, the coupon is $110 off for this model, and $100 for the other one.
The white color scheme is not eligible for the coupon. All these at Adorama.com.
Meanwhile the first generation of this headphones continues to be on sale for $180.
This is a lesser known and not as widely available headphone, so much so that it is offered by a marketplace seller fulfilled by Amazon, it is the new condition PENDULUMIC STANCE S1+ Wireless going for $109 with free Prime shipping. The wireless part is bluetooth 4.0 with apt-X support. Fans of rechargeable batteries may like this because it is powered by an internal battery but can also use a AAA battery. It has an AKG-style two-level headband, and averages 3.8 out of 5 based on 50+ customer reviews.
These lightning deals expired, but if you missed them, fear not ~ they are recurring guests of the Gold BOX…

The MEE audio Matrix2 Bluetooth Over-Ears currently go for $70 in new condition and $41+ in Used Condition, but this week, another option has emerged, manufacturer refurbished and sold by MEE Audio, for $40 with free shipping, with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get it in two days or so.
This is how the refurbished condition sold by MEE Audio’s Amazon store is described in the listing:
Matrix2 is the easy name. Its model number is AF62, and it supports Bluetooth 4.0 with apt-X and AAC, NFC support for pairing, 3.5mm audio playback as well. And a 90-day warranty as a manufacturer refurbished product. It averages 4 out of 5 based on nearly 700 customer reviews and has over 200 answered questions, so much is known about it.
The new condition Audio-Technica ATH-DSR7BT with their “Pure Digital Drive” technology go for $300 at authorized dealers, but if you want to save some, you can get them in “Used – Very Good” condition (cosmetic imperfections; damaged original packaging) for $239~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals.
They average 4.4 out of 5 based on 31 customer reviews. They support AAC, apt-X HD, and such.
As of 11/18/17 re-check, the used options are sold out…
If you do not object to Bluetooth 3.0, the Creative Aurvana Gold headphones are available in “Used – Like New” condition for $53~ with free shipping at Amazon Warehouse Deals.
These support Bluetooth 3.0, with apt-X and AAC, with NFC support (NFC is used for touch-pairing as opposed to over the air dog-fights), touch controls, 3.5mm audio playback, and such. They average 3.4 out of 5 based on 54 customer reviews and they have 18 answered questions.
The third generation MEE audio Matrix 3 bluetooth headphones are now out, going for $120 in new condition and $84~ in used condition. They support Bluetooth 4.0 with apt-X and AAC, and also play music via 3.5mm input.
But if you want to go bluetooth by saving more, the second generation goes for $68 in new condition by Amazon actual (limit 3 per customer).
Or you can save even more thru Warehouse Deals where the Matrix 2 goes for $39~ in “Used – Acceptable” or $44~ in “Used – Very Good” condition or $47~ in “Used – Like New”. The previous link is the default summary listing. This is the detailed Used only listings.
The Matrix 2 supports the same formats but also supports NFC. I haven’t found anything in the listings of the Matrix 3 mentioning NFC. NFC can be handy if you want to pair/connect by touch. It can be handy if you have an air war between music sources and headsets fighting to make active bluetooth connections. Both come with zippered cases.
This lightning offering expired…
The new condition MEE audio AF18 bluetooth earphones go for $26~ by Amazon actual (limit three per customer) but if you want to shave some more off the price…
… you can get them in “Used – Very Good” condition (cosmetic imperfections; damaged original packaging) for the very specific price of $11.33 by Amazon Warehouse actual. Free 2-day shipping for Prime members.
It averages 3.6 out of 5 based on 220+ customer reviews. It has Bluetooth 4.1 with apt-X support.
We have a value bluetooth earphone price war of sorts! Mayhaps jealous of the $20 Vava Moov daily deal, Taotronics has dropped the price of their new condition TaoTronics Bluetooth earphones to $20 in the black color scheme. These too support apt-X and have their own “CVC 6.0” noise cancellation.
They average 4.3 out of 5 based on nearly 650 customer reviews and have nearly 50 questions answered. The noise cancelling mayhaps explains the thicker body, because ANC hardware does not happen in a vacuum [puns intended?]
Free 2-day shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order. If you are close to $25 and you need a boost, here are a couple of ideas:
+ 10ft AmazonBasics HDMI Extension Cable (male/female) for $2~ (limit 3 per customer)
+ Pack of 4 Melitta Pour-Over Cone with Ceramic Cup for $5.69
