ORIGINAL POST
According to the schedule posted at NewEggFlash Headphones, starting at 5am eastern on Monday 7/17/17 (in case you are too hyper to fall asleep after the return of Game Of Thrones), there will be a sale on two Audio Technica open-back headphones, the AD900x and the AD500x. As the “D” in the name hints at, they are open-back. Remember our little mnemonic, “D” is shaped almost like an “O”, O for Open πŸ™‚

The price and the seller will be revealed when they go live. There are no hints of them ahead of time. Here’s a screenshot of the teaser to make sure I am not hallucinating πŸ™‚

Audio Technica ATH-AD1000X Open-Back with $60 eGift Card for $229

The same combo is back with another similar promotion. “aSavings” an the internet imprint/persona of Focus Camera, and through the NewEgg website, they are offering the open-back over-ear Audio-Technica ATH-AD1000X headphones for $229 with free shipping and a $60 promotional NewEgg e-gift card.

If you don’t see the aSavings offer there, look for it in the Sidebar over there under “Best Service Sellers”.

The e-gift card can be used at NewEgg, not at aSavings (which is good and more flexible) within one year of issuance. While this promotion is running (until Saturday 7/16/17), the e-gift card will be emailed to you a few days after purchase automatically. There’s no coupon code to enter. If you don’t see the e-gift card mentioned on the listing, it means the offer expired. See screenshot below:

PS: that “D” lost in the middle of the product name is what signifies that they are open-back. The models without the “D” are closed. One simple mnemonic to tell them apart is that “D” is close to an “O” as in Open πŸ™‚

Now shipping: Audio Technica ATH-DSR9BT with Pure Digital Drive for $549

UPDATE: Blog-post title correction: the price is $549, not $600!

Amazon’s own listing is a nebulous “Usually ships within 1 to 2 months”. This headphone is a Bluetooth 4.2 with support for aptX HD, aptX, AAC and SBC codecs.
