we find good deals for you!
These are not daily deals but longer running Woot deals until 9/21/20 at 11:59pm central time or earlier if they sell out [and they do sell-out earlier]. These being an Electronics Garage sale that includes:
+ five ASTRO gaming headsets
+ one SoundCore neckband and two truly-wireless bluetooth earphones
+ one SoundCore ANC/BT over-ears for $41
+ by the time I wrote this post, the AirPods sold-out…
The pre-launch of B&H Photo’s Labor Day offerings includes some consumer-tier headphones, among which you can get a $100 ANC/bluetooth over-ear combo, if you don’t want to get into the $300 “Battle of the Giants” but also don’t want to buy from the non-audio budget brands around $50 at Amazon and such…
To cut a long story short, the new condition Sony WH-CH710 is on sale for $98 with free US shipping for a limited time at B&H Photo. As of the time of writing it averages 4.5 out of 5 based on 19 customer reviews…
I haven’t seen or touched this newer model, but we have here a text and pictures un-boxing of the previous-generation model, the WH-CH700N {the PORG is not included ~ it is our “blog pet”}.
One utilitarian and welcome difference for many, when looking at the B&H gallery pictures, the new WH-CH710N has USB-C charging, finally doing away with good old micro-USB.
Speaking of which, I hope there is a recycling program for all the millions and millions of de-commissioned micro-USB cables 🙂
PS: buying from B&H you are guaranteed to get the US model. Some of the marketplace sellers on Amazon are not as reliable, but if you are comfortable with that, a couple of them are selling it for the same price with some freebie accessories (eg stand, case, etc).
For Thursday September 3 in 2020, in the pacific time zone, that’s the Newegg “home” time zone, you can get the new condition Beyerdynamic closed-back over-ear bluetooth “Amiron Wireless” headphone, a Tesla production [not to be confused with Elon Musk’s Tesla], is offered for $419 with free US shipping when you enter promo code 93XPS27 in the NewEGG shopping cart. This is part of their Deals of the Day, which sadly they still keep calling “Shell Shocker”. You know, most jokes have expiration dates 🙂
TCL has been [trying to] make a powerplay in the US consumer electronics market and they have also entered the highly contested ANC/bluetooth combo over-ear headphone market and one of their models, the ELIT400NC is the headliner of the Best Buy daily deals for Sunday 8/30/20 offered for $70 in the midnight blue color scheme… As of the time of writing this averages 3.8 out of 5 based on 150+ customer reviews… This runs Bluetooth version 4.2, not the most recent 5.x
From one of the upstart brands we go to one of the big Japanese headphone brand, Audio Technica, their ATH-DSR5BT neckband bluetooth earphones are on sale for $90 with free US shipping at B&H Photo as one of their deals of the day. This too runs Bluetooth 4.2…
Not a bluetooth but among the Sunday NewEGG daily deals there’s the green/white Pioneer SE-MJ-503-G closed-back on-ears going for the very modest price of $10 with free US shipping. This is another historically highly-contested segment with entries as old as the Sony ZX-series and attempts at it by many relative newcomers (AmazonBasics, Monoprice, etc) to the world of audio…
Monday is not a “bang and blame” day, that’s the weekend 😉 It’s a “bang & olufsen” day at the Woot daily deals where three of their truly-wireless BEOplay models are on sale for $89 to $200. More specifically:
+ E8 Premium for $89
+ E8 2.0 with Qi charging for $140
+ E8 2.0 Motion for $200
As usual, sale ends at 11:59pm central (on Monday 8/24/20 in this particular case) or earlier if any manages to sell out. They come with a 90-day Woot warranty…
Meanwhile necklace-style exercise-bluetooth are part of the Best Buy dailies with the blue-white JBL Endurance Sprint wireless going for $18…
PS: “necklace style” is what I call bluetooth earphones that are connected by a simple cable, which ends up hanging on your chest sort of like a necklace… Not to be confused with the “neckband style” which go behind the neck and typically have some part of the cable hardened [no, not like Attack On Titan, Annie sends her regards] because I suppose few people want a lose cable dancing on the back of their necks and getting caught onto things …behind your back? 🙂
For Wednesday August 19 in 2020, Best Buy is offering as one of their daily deals the new condition Jaybird Tarah bluetooth earphones for $30 in black metallic color scheme. The other color options go for more… These are necklace-style compact-length earphones which, as of the time of writing, average 4.2 out of 5 based on 739 customer reviews…
And for the EU inclined, Amazon Germany is having a KLIM sale with their gaming headset going for 30 euro, while their colorful wired earphones go for around 14 euro [price varies by color scheme] which can also be cannibalized for their generous accessories kit: zippered pouch, extra eartips including two Comply-looking ones, and a splitter cable [so two people can listen to the same music source]
Sony fans, you have until Tuesday 8/18/20 at 11:59pm pacific time to grab the new condition Sony WH-XB900N headphones on sale for $148 with free US shipping in two color options. Up to three per customer at the sale price…

There’s a theme at the Best Buy daily deals and it’s a Sony audio sale that includes the following headphones:
Speaking of Sony audio, Amazon has a sale on select Sony products including a soundbar, bluetooth speakers and TVs. Mayhaps they are price-matching the Best Buy offering?
Speaking of Amazon, Amazon Germany is offering a 90-day free trial to their HD music streaming service with the purchase of 1000+ vinyl records…
Beyerdynamic Days continue at the NewEgg deals of the day, for Wednesday 8/5/20 they have the new condition Aventho bluetooth on-ears going for $249 after entering magical mystical promo code 93XPN96 during the checkout process… This is sold and shipped by NewEgg actual, not iffy marketplace sellers…

Back to NewEGG’s dailies, they also offer the refurbished Jabra Evolve 75e neckband-style bluetooth earphones and these ones have Skype affections. They go for $50… There’s also a 2-bay QNAP NAS for your networked music needs [just make sure the Cylons don’t get it and then it will play their version of “All Along The Watch Tower” non-stop!].
To the other side of the pond we go, Amazon GErmany’s dailies are headlined by bluetooth. It’s the Soundcore truly wireless ranging from 38 to 85 euro, and the August [no, not the month, the product name] closed-back over-ears [more square than round ear cups] going for 36~ euro…
Some could argue that speakers are headphones that are just not very mobile 😉 And speaking of which, Woot is having a daily deal of Harman Kardon speakers and soundbars, with five options, $250 to $600…
We don’t want the iPhone/iPad users to feel left out, so here’s a deal for them. Good until Sunday 8/2/20 at 11:59pm central time [or earlier if sold out] Woot is offering the new condition Apple AirPods PRO truly-wireless truly-Apple [ha!] critters for $220 with free shipping for Prime members and a one year Apple warranty.

+ the Best Buy dailies have a trio of related items as follows:
Not to be outdone, Woot is having a Random Tech Sale that includes the following trio of head-audio products:
And finally at the NewEGG dailies they have Plantronics BackBeat GO 600 bluetooth over-ears for the very good price for $27…
Sunday is here and the Best Buy dailies have two audio-interest products. First up, the new condition Jaybird Tarah bluetooth earphones [necklace style] going for $30 [averages 4/5 on 600+ customer ratings as of the time of writing]…
Then for prepaid music listeners, you can get a 1-year prepaid TIDAL Premium music subscription for $65 for the first year [cannot append to an existing live subscription]. This comes out to a very nice $5.5~ per month. Note that this is the standard resolution service, similar to Spotify, Apple Muzak, etc. Their Hi-Res service costs more and it is not included in this offer…
Elsewhere, at the NewEgg Daily Shockers you can get the new condition bluetooth (with a battery block type thing) Pioneer SE-CL5=BT earphones for $15…
Samsung couldn’t just stand having simple names for their truly-wireless, so they have now “Galaxified” them. One of the Amazon deals of the day is the new condition Galaxy Buds+ Plus truly-wireless going for $140 with free US shipping. These come with a Fast Charge wireless chargepad with a cooling fan. One per customer at the sale price. As of the time of writing, they average 4.7 out of 5 based on 170+ customer ratings…

+ SOL REPUBLIC Jax 1-button wired earphones for $13
+ eMedia FD05107 Piano Keyboard Starter Pack For Dummies for $80
‘
PRO TIP: you can use a music keyboard as part of your headphone testing. I have been doing this ever since I got my previous music keyboard. Now that I upgraded from Casio to a higher Yamaha model, even more so 🙂
Some may have Friday on their minds, others may have Sennheiser. If the latter, good for Friday 7/17/20, one of the Best Buy deals du jour is the new condition Sennheiser Momentum truly-wireless set going for $160.
The congestion in the market at all price ranges, from CrapPods to AirPods, and the dominance of the Apple AirPods and its clones is putting some price pressure on the headphone-name-brands to bring their prices closer to earth ~ instead of some of those high-brow high-profit-margin prices 🙂
This of course opens up the whole audio company vs tech company debate, but that’s a story for another day…
Judging by the price and the 90-day Woot warranty, I suspect this is the international version, but if you don’t mind that, you can get the new condition Sony WH-1000X M3 bluetooth/ANC over-ears for $220 as one of the Woot deals of the day, with free shipping for Prime members. Limit two pairs per customer at the sale price. This is considered by many as topping *GASP* BOSE on ANC 🙂
Sale ends on Tuesday 7/14/20 at 11:59pm centauri time or earlier if sold out…
Embrace the BASS! Embrace Bluetooth!:) If there are any audiophiles still left reading this post, the headliner of the Best Buy daily deals for Thursday July 9 in 2020 is the new condition closed-back Skullcandy HESH3 bluetooth over-ears for $45.
As of the time of writing this averages 4.3 out of 5 based on 1450 customer ratings… Best Buy is also including a separate “Experts” review rating, but their “experts” are of the Tech Radar and Trusted Reviews kind. An ant spends more time reviewing a breadcrumb before it picks it up to take it back to the ant hill 😉 Silver linking they include rtings.com 🙂

At the B&H deals du jour it’s the closed-back Polsen HPS-A40 headphone that has a 3-level bass adjustment [I know, you cynics will say, “bad”, “worse” and “OMG it’s really bad”] for $50 with free US shipping… Optionally you can purchase this together with an AURAY headphone stand and get a 20% off discount on the price of the AURAY stand…

It is only available in black. It has NFC. Note that this is part of their “Extra Bass” line, so opera, classical, audiophile jazz, etc you may not like the “transformation” of the music with these 🙂

Truly wireless is the name of the game for now, until Apple releases the over-ear “Air Pods” and all of sudden the unwashed mashes will “discover” over-ear headphones. Hopefully a percentage of those will actually explore more audiophile over-ear headphones 🙂
