The price was $250 when I posted this, but shortly after went up to $260, which matches the Secondipity thru Amazon (not Prime eligible) price.
Another one of the double-digit utilitarian bluetooth over-ears is on sale, it is the new condition JLab Audio OMNI going for $60 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual. These fold sunglass-style (non-overlapping earcups though) and come with a half-moon tall case to match their folded state of being.

It looks like a marketplace sellers has “tricked” Amazon’s price-bots to automatically price-match its price on this headphone, new condition Panasonic RP-BTD5-K Bluetooth On-Ears going for $72 with free shipping by Amazon actual. It averages 3.7 out of 5 based on 52 customer reviews and they have 24 answered questions. The support NFC and fold flat.
PS: if you are not familiar with Bluetooth-ese, NFC is used only for connecting/pairing bluetooth headphones to sources. NFC is not used for the air flow of music.
One of the popular budget bluetooth over-ear headphones among Amazon shoppers is the Photive BTH3 Over-The-Ear, and it is back on its recurring sale, going for $40 with free shipping, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so they are Prime eligible.

They fold flat so they can fit in the included zippered hard travel case. They support Bluetooth 4.0, but no apt-X. They can also play music via 3.5mm input (not visible in most of the pictures). This is not a lightning deal, so the sale continues until it ends.
This lightning deal expired…
Good until 9:45pm ET tonight, as an Amazon lightning deal, the new condition closed-back BlueAnt Pump Soul Bluetooth On-Ears are on sale for $40 with free shipping in the “White Rose Gold” color scheme. The other colors are not on sale.

If you want to satisfy your Parrot Zik curiosity without breaking the bank, coupon code SALE3 (ends Saturday night) can get you the refurbished first generation Parrot Zik Bluetooth and ANC Over/On-Ears for $72 with free shipping and free returns. The price before the coupon is $80. Two different colors are available. Optionally you can get a 2-year replacement plan for +$25 (I don’t know if the coupon discounts the replacement plan).
These have a lot of techie features, including touch controls, head detection, NFC, custom app (although after the Bose situation it may not sound as appealing), along with Bluetooth and ANC.
On the other hand, if you prefer the newer MDR-1000X headphones over the MDR 100 sale, and if you are willing to go certified refurbished, you can get the MDR-1000X in certified refurbished condition by Secondipity thru Amazon in the black color scheme (Prime eligible) and the silver/white/cream color scheme (not Prime eligible).
The current new condition price for the MDR-1000X is $400 but sometimes they go on sale for $350. However, as of the time of writing, for $400 you can get them bundled with a case and stand (Slappa Hardbody PRO case, and wooden omega (the letter) shaped stand). It ships directly from Beach Camera but Prime members get Prime-like speed for free.
This is a heavily contested price and feature set, with competitors such as the Bose QC35, Beats Studio, Sennheiser PXC and Momentum, B&O, B&W, vying for the $300 to $400 bluetooth with ANC segment.
Good until Saturday night, coupon SALE3 gets you 10% off at Groupon Goods. Using this coupon you can drop the price of the Sony MDR-100 Bluetooth and ANC Over/On-Ears from $185 to $166~ with free shipping and free returns. Two different color schemes are available. This is part of Sony’s h.ear consumer line.
For more deal fishing, check their headphones search results.
This offer expired but they are recurring “guests” of the Gold Box…
This Friday coupon is over, but Monoprice has recurring coupons, so they’ll return. The main question is which headphones will be eligible for which coupons, which we can only find out when the coupons are live so we can “test” them live…

The Panasonic ErgoFit wired earphones are often among the best sellers at amazon.com, especially when you consider they are available in multiple colors that appear in the Top 20. But there’s not a whole lot of profit margin in sub-$10 earphones, so Panasonic is trying to fix that with their new…
… new bluetooth Ergofits, model RP-HJE120B. They are available in “only” four colors (compared to the wired models) and are available for pre-order for $36 to $40 depending on color. They are expected to ship in a few weeks.
Reminder: the 1More Triple driver sale starts at 12pm ET today at NewEgg.

Here’s something that Barnes and Noble has, but Amazon doesn’t! It’s not a Nook. It’s a fashion headphone! The Kate Spade New York Wireless Headphones (bluetooth on-ears) are currently half off, going for $75 with free shipping or free store pickup (where available/possible). They have a built-in rechargeable battery which powers the bluetooth. They come with a travel case.
PS: I can’t tell from the picture whether they can play 3.5mm audio. Assume they don’t unless you find out for certain. I do not know if they have these for demo at B&N brick and mortar stores.
Good until Tuesday night, the new condition 1MORE MK802 Bluetooth Over-Ears are on sale for $100 with free shipping at NewEggFlash by the 1More USA store. They are available in black or blue. I believe they used to be offered at the Costco website, but now all Costco has are 1More IEMs. I have no way of knowing whether any of the Costco stores carry them.
If you are interested in the Beats Solo2 bluetooth on-ears, they are currently on sale for $150 at the Sprint website as one of the accessories they offer. This is the 7th item on that page.
Friday’s daily deals are over…
And now something that won’t make the wallet cry too much. For fans of both Bass and Bluetooth, the new condition Sony Sony MDR-XB650-BT is on sale for $68 with free shipping in three color options (black, blue, red) at Amazon by Amazon actual. Limit up to three per color per customer. They average 4.1 out of 5 based on 430+ customer reviews. They have a 6.7 to 1 “review intensity ratio”.
Three of the five colors of the Powebeats 3 bluetooth exercise earphones are on sale for $130 per pair, in new condition, at Amazon by Amazon actual. These average 3.5 out of 5 based on 1270 customer reviews, and have 200+ customer reviews. They have a very low “review intensity ratio” (around 1.5 to 1), which is a sign of trade-offs and issues.
Monoprice has a headphone sale, an actual sale, not a coupon, their Bluetooth Over-Ears PID 13893 are on sale for $40 plus shipping. The lowest priced Monosaver Shipping appears to be $3.49 for my three test zipcodes (East coast, West coast, in-between). If you purchase any other items that qualify for free shipping, then the shipping fee of this will be reduced or even become zero, depending on whatever factors their computer uses to determine this 🙂
By looking at the pictures above, their earpads remind me a bit of the earpads of the Sennheiser HD 4.20S which are very comfy.
Speaking of Monoprice, their buzz-generating M1060 planar magnetics, revision 2 as dubbed by the interwebs, continues to remain in-stock for $300.
On the budget side of things, the official Jabra eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Jabra Rox Bluetooth earbuds for $24 with free shipping and a six month warranty from Jabra. Limit up to five units per customer.
