we find good deals for you!
Once upon a time an IEMophile’s mortal enemy, now they kinda forgot about them [= Klipsch IEMs] because they are buried in mountains of new Chi-Fi IEMs 😉
Good until Thursday 4/15/21 at 11:59pm ET [or earlier if sold out] one of them B&H Photo daily deals are the new condition Klipsch R5 Active bluetooth earphones, necklace-style [meaning just a cable, no neckband], going for $20 with free US shipping…
Into the Lagoon we go, good until Tuesday 4/13/21 at 11:59pm pacific time at the NewEgg daily deals is the new condition Beyerdynamic Lagoon Traveler ANC/bluetooth over-ears going for $189 with free US shipping, sold and shipped by NewEgg actual, with up to three per customer at the sale price. No promo code needed for this particular offer…
Welcome to the 1More party! Good until Sunday 4/11/21 at 11:59pm pacific time, Amazon is having as one of their deals of the day a 1More Truly Wireless sale with 11 options, plus two neckband-style, one ANC/bluetooth earphone and the other is the Triple Driver bluetooth neckband earphone.
Prices range from $40 to $102. These are not 13 distinct models, as some of them are offered in different color scheme options. Some of the truly-wireless are the more stubby kind, others are the Airpod-style (with the hanging monkey tail).
I have one 1More here for unboxing and testing but it’s not one of those on sale above; it’s a necklace-style bluetooth…
PS: by “necklace-style” I mean those bluetooth earphones that have a cable that is not hardened like the neckbands…
A sale of Amazfit smartwatches and fitness bands and such at Amazon also includes truly-wireless earphones from AmznFit. They have three different color schemes of their PowerBuds model going for $55…
Note that both the overall customer rating and the customer reviews are a superset of all the different products that reside on the same root product page. To find the reviews specifically for the earphones you have to go to the detailed review page for each color scheme and filter for its reviews (under the “All Formats” option)…
But that’s not all for the Saturday April 10 (2021) Amazon USA Gold Box. Their headliner deal of the day is the new condition JBL Flip 4 waterproof bluetooth speaker going for $60 with free US shipping. This is available in eight different color schemes, handy if multiple people use them in the same household – you can quickly tell who owns what by the color scheme!
One brand that is scoring some points on the budget front is Tribit, and they are one of the Amazon USA Gold Box deals of the day good until Thursday 4/8/21 at 11:59pm pacific time…
Oh, what’s the sale? It’s not tribbles, it’s Tribit bluetooths. A total of 9 options are available including:
+ QuietPlus ANC over-ears for $56
+ two airpod-style truly wireless for $40 to $56
+ and the big star of the show/sale, the Tribit FlyBuds 3 with a charging case that promises 100 hours (!) of playback time. Plus it can be used as a small powerbank (more of interest to smaller DAPs and DACs, today’s smartphones are very hungry for 2600 mAh). The sale price is a very solid $29 with up to five per customers…
As of the time of writing these average 4.5 out of 5 based on 3100+ customer ratings. They are IPX8, bluetooth 5 with low latency, and three sizes of earfins (in addition to the six eartip options). They also promise pairing the moment you open the case, which if working so, simplifies truly-wireless life.
I am planning to buy the FlyBuds 3, so at some point in the future expect an unboxing and review post…
Not one but THREE headphones are participating in the Tuesday NewEgg daily deals good until 3/30/21 at 11:59pm pacific (or earlier if sold out):

+ Anker Soundcore Liberty True truly-wireless (TW) with promised 100-hour battery life (most of it is of course in the charging case, not the earphones) for $36 after promo code
+ I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets irritated when the truly-wireless run out of juice mid-stream, so there’s that 🙂
+ I’m thinking of getting one of the 100-hour-ish TW (not this one) and will be posting unboxing and review ~ in the nebulous near/distant future 🙂
+ 128GB Team Elite microSDXC for $13, or more savings with optional combined purchase discount

We have an early start of the Saturday daily deals at the Meh website where their deal du jour is a 2-pack of JVC Xtreme Xplosives Deep Bass necklace-style bluetooth earphones going for $20 total plus shipping (unless you are a paying Meh-member).
At the risk of sounding like a master of the obvious, the product name slightly hints that these are might just be bassy, very bassy, extremely bassy, explosively bassy. I personally haven’t seen or heard them or read about them, so I cannot comment 🙂
Sunday 3/21/21 brings us a couple of bluetooth earphone options in the NewEgg daily deals as follows:

I recently picked up a variant of this (the “DJ”) but have yet to open it… The clearance price was low enough to be lower than the price of the included accessories alone (case, cables, etc)…

+ Skullcandy Method bluetooth necklace-style earphones for $30
+ feed the DAPs: 256GB SanDisk ExTreMe PlUs micro-SDXC for $58
+ wireless mini projector for $100
The launch of the over-ear Apple Airpods at $550 has an unintended benefit for the other manufacturers in the $300ish range of the consumer-popular ANC/bluetooth over-ear combos. They are now about half the price of the Apple product, making their price (that once may have looked high) look more reasonable!
And if among those competitors it is the Sony WH-X1000 M4 the one you want, it is currently on offer at Adorama’s website for $278 with free US shipping in either the black or the silver color scheme with two FREEBIES included automatically by Adorama:
+ Morphie 20,800 mAh powerbank, not a toy powerbank!
+ currently goes for $40 at Adorama’s
+ microfiber cleaning cloth (the more gadgets you have, the more of these are useful?)
Speaking of Adorama, check their on-going Audio sale which includes a number of headphones, some of which we already mentioned below…
This is a limited time offer but not a daily deal. From the department of utilitarian closed-back over-ear bluetooths with wired 3.5mm audio input as well the Anker official store through the NewEgg website is offering the new condition Vortex Wireless for $26 with free US shipping. This is shipped by the Anker store, not by NewEgg…
This promises up to 20 hours of bluetooth playback, and comes with an 18-month warranty. It is however charging via micro-USB and runs Bluetooth 4.1 but then again, it’s only $26 🙂 A travel case is included which, considering the price, may be worth the price of admission on its own (you also get a 3.5mm and microUSB cables).
And for those studying for the Headphones SAT and Achievement tests, the full model name of this is A3031011b 🙂
The Thursday February 4 in 2021 daily deals have gone headphone-crazy!
We start at the NewEgg daily deals where we have multiple options:
+ refurbished Sony XB-650-BT “Extra Bass” bluetooth overons for $25
+ Save the FLACs: 10TB WD Elements USB 3.0 desktop HDD for $160 after coupon

+ sold and shipped by NewEgg itself
Next up we visit the Best Buy dailies where Skullcandy has their Indy Evo truly-wireless on offer for $40…
Last but not least, Woot has another Random Audio sale among their Thursday daily deals with a total of 20 options including:

+ Klipsch Reference speaker wireless options

+ A/V components from Pioneer, Klipsch, Vizio
+ bluetooth speakers and “suitcase turntable” too
Apple created some current (and more future) confusion with their naming of their over-ear headphones also as Airpods. Just appending the “Max” at the end of the name is not enough for quick consumer disambiguation. Regardless…
… the headliner of the Monday February 1st, 2021 daily deals at the Best Buy website is the geek-stink-breath (TM Green Day) aka Geek Squad refurbished Airpods PRO truly-wireless going for $200 in the white color scheme with a 90-day warranty…
Good until Saturday 1/30/21 at 11:59pm eastern, B&H Photo offering the new condition black color scheme of the Google Pixel Buds for $59 with free US shipping… These are kinda getting lost in the Airpods and Galaxy Buds hype ~ just like the Pixel phones *ZING* 🙂
Having said that, these are necklace-style bluetooth earphones, not truly-wireless…
One of the NewEgg deals du jour for Monday January 25 in 2021 (yes, just eleven months until Christmas) is the refurbished Sony CH-700N ANC/Bluetooth over-ears offered for $48 with free US shipping, sold and shipped by marketplace seller VIP Outlet through the NewEgg website.

+ this is sold and shipped by the official Anker online store through the NewEgg website
Meanwhile among the B&H daily deals you can get the new condition Motorola Verve Loop 200 necklace-style bluetooth earphones for $12 with free US shipping…
Then we head on to the Best Buy dailies where we find two items of potential head-interest:
