This coupon expired but it returns every few days or so, so if you missed it, patience is a virtue, it will return in the future 🙂
JBL Coach E40 BT On-Ears for $30
This is a NewEgg “daily” deal, so it is offered for two days. On Day #1 (Friday), promo code EMCSREBE2 gets you the new condition JBL Coach E40 Bluetooth On-Ears for $30 with free shipping. You may have to be a NewEgg email subscriber to use this coupon. On Day #2 (Saturday), it becomes one of the daily deals posted on their ShellShocker daily deals.
PS: I can’t see the benefit of this convoluted way of doing daily deals, but what do I know? 🙂
Monoprice Tube Amp with Bluetooth 15W Compact Stereo Hybrid for $65 w/FS after coupon
Speaking of Monoprice, their Tube Amp with Bluetooth 15-watt Compact Stereo Hybrid, PID 16152, can be yours for $65 with free standard US shipping when you use coupon code 15TUBE over there. This is a limited time offer but I do not know when it expires. This is not a headphone-amp.
10% off headphones at Groupon with coupon (600+ options)
Coupon code SALE3 (short and sweet and easy to type coupon, without any characters that are hard to decipher ~ eg “0” vs “O” ~ try deciphering that while redeeming a gift card with a looooong list of random letters and numbers) gets you 10% off on almost everything at Groupon Goods (the section of their website that sells physical products, not services or food or local events), including headphones. There are over 400 over/on-ears and 280 earphones listed there. Keep in mind, a lot of them are consumer-tier, you are not going to find a Focal Elear there 🙂 You can also use the Search-BOX there to search for brands or types.
The coupon can get you a maximum of a $50 discount per item. You can use it to buy one unit of an offer. If you buy two or more of the same item, only the first unit will get discounted. You can use the coupon on three separate offers. Expires April 13 (2017).
PS: a number of other sellers sell on Groupon, in addition to Groupon actual. Check the description to find clues on who the seller is, and whether returns are accepted. Also check the shipping estimate; while Groupon has improved, it’s still nowhere near Prime speed.
[DEAD] Thurdsay: Monoprice M560 Planars + Tube Head Amp drop to $240 with Coupon AND $0.01+ filler item
This coupon expired but Monoprice brings this back every few days/weeks…
Monster N-Lite Earphones for $10 w/FS with coupon
Newegg managed to do the impossible, it took something as simple as daily deals and turned them into a convoluted process 🙂 The daily deals are offered one day early for people in their emailing list through the use of promo codes. The day after, the daily deals appear in their Shellshocker page. So essentially they are two-day daily deals 🙂
Good until Wednesday night, promo code EMCSREBB5 gets you the new condition Monster N-Lite earphones for $10 with free shipping. The model number for these is ridiculous, six random combinations of letters, “MH NLT IE SLV CU WW”. I bet this will go viral as everyone tells their friends they bought the “MH NLT IE SLV CU WW” and can’t wait t listen to them 🙂
Monday: NAKAMICHI ANC80 Over-Ears for $18
On the budget side of ANC, for Monday 4/10/17 only, promo code EMCSRERK6 gets you the new condition closed-back over-ear NAKAMICHI ANC80 with Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) for $18 with free shipping at NewEgg by NewEgg actual. Limit three per customer. They have four customer reviews over there.
Fiio X1 II DAP for $80 with promo code (Fry’s B&M only)
Another one of the weekly Fry’s personalized promo code offers is headphone-related, this time it is a B&M in-store only offer, on the new condition second generation of the Fiio X1 digital audio player for $80 when you use your promo code. It is available in three colors. Limit one per household. This typically goes for $100, while the first generation goes for $80 at authorized Fiio dealers. The offer runs until Saturday 4/8/17 close of business or earlier if sold out.
This is very YMMV since you have to be able to find it at a local Fry’s B&M store.
I haven’t seen the second generation model, but I have the first generation. So far I posted a text-and-pictures unboxing post. More in the pipeline but no promises on when they’ll get posted 🙂
Audio-Technica ATH-SR5 Bluetooth On-Ears for $100 (B&M Only; YMMV)
Another one of the weekly Fry’s promo code offers (you have to be signed-up for their e-mail list to get a personalized coupon code) is the Audio-Technica ATH-SR5 Bluetooth On-Ears offered for $100 after the promo code. The price before the promo is $200. This offer is available in-store only, so you have to be physically present a Fry’s Electronics store in order to get it. And the usual YMMV caveat with all things Fry’s. Offer ends 4/7/17 or earlier if sold out.
PS: this bluetooth model ATH-SR5BTBK should not be confused with the wired-only ATH-SR5BK. Why are companies able to make very complicated products but cannot have simpler/easier product naming scheme? 🙂
Sennheiser Urbanite XL Over-Ears for $75 with Promo Code (Fry’s YMMV)
This is a YMMV offer, so don’t get too excited just yet! The weekly Fry’s Electronics promo code offers (you get unique coupon codes IF you sign-up for their e-mailing list) for the week of April 2-8 in 2017, include the Sennheiser Urbanite XL closed-back over-ears going for $75 when you use your personalized promo code. The price before the promo code is $150.
If you are not signed up for their emailing list, you can still sign-up and get a promo code to use. That’s the whole point of these after all, to get you to buy things 🙂
The offer is limit one per customer, and can be used online or in-store. All seven colors schemes are eligible.
Availability varies by store and region and zipcode, so again, a big YMMV. Chaos and disorder reigns supreme at Fry’s 🙂
Yamaha EPH-C200 earphones for $5 w/FS after coupon
NewEgg daily deals now last two days instead of one. The first day happens when you use a promo code from the daily Shell Shocker emails. The second day of the deal is when it goes live on their website. This sounds a bit too complicated for a “daily deal” but hey, their roof their rules 🙂
Which brings us to the Yamaha EPH-C200 earphones going for $5 with free shipping with promo code EMCSRERD3. Offer should end Tuesday night.
Beyerdynamic MMX 41 iE earphones for $20
On the budget side of IEMs, for a limited time, you can get the new condition Beyerdynamic MMX 41 iE earphones for $20 with free shipping at NewEgg when you use coupon code EMCSRERB2 over there. The price before the coupon is $25.
[DEAD] 20% off headphones at A4C with coupon
This coupon expired but it is a recurring promotion, I think once a month or something like that…
If you feel like deal-fishing, coupon code MARCH20 gets you 20% off at All 4 Cellular (A4C) until the end of the month. This is a search for headphones but you can search for other things or navigate the sub-categories.
Most items are eligible for the coupon, but not all (eg, daily deals are excluded).
[DEAD] Wednesday: 20% at Monoprice ($300+ minimum order)
This coupon expired…
[DEAD] Klipsch X11 in-ears for $50
This offer expired too…
AUKEY Loops Bluetooth Earphones for $8 w/coupon
AUKEY is like a Chinese competitor/clone to the Anker brand of smartphone and other tech accessories. One of the obligatory product categories serving the smartphone market are bluetooth earphones, and for a limited time, coupon code PXVRO74H drops the price of the AUKEY Loops Bluetooth Earphones from $16 to $8 (it is a 50% off coupon). This is sold by AUKEY with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so if you are a Prime member, you get free 2-day shipping. They are not an Add-ON item (shhh! don’t tell Amazon!).
Audio Technica ATH-AD700X for $79 w/coupon
If you are subscribed to the Fry’s Electronics email newsletter OR if you do not object to signing up for it, you can use your unique promo code that is found in their email newsletters to get the new condition open-back over-ear Audio Technica ATH-AD700X for $79. The offer is good in-store or online (with free shipping). Limit one per customer. Offer ends Wednesday night or earlier if sold out.
These go for $99 at Amazon by Amazon actual where they are actually on sale, with a limit of three per customer. The Amazon sale may be a computer-generated price-match of a marketplace seller over there offering them for $99 as well. This headphone is apparently eligible for AmazonFresh delivery as well, make sure you fish out the broccoli pieces out of the driver enclosure 🙂
[DEAD] Aukey Behind-Neck Bluetooth On-Ears for $8 w/coupon
As of 3/31/17/ recheck, these are sold out and cannot be ordered… Another Aukey headphone is coupon eligible! Coupon code PXVRO74H drop the price of their AUKEY Bluetooth Foldable On-Ear Behind-Neck headphones from $16 to $8. Free shipping for Prime members or with a $35+ order.
They come with a 24-month warranty which is ironic when you consider that some manufacturers sell $300+ headphones with a 1-year warranty 🙂 And you may need the warranty, these lightweight behind-the-neck designs can often break [I am talking in general; I haven’t seen/used this particular model which averages 3.8 out of 5 based on 77 customer reviews].
[DEAD] Reminder: Monday is last day for 20% off eBay coupon
The 20% off eBay coupon promotion expired Monday night 3/27/17…
Reminder, today (Monday 3/27/17) is the last day for the 20% off eBay coupon. Hundreds of items are eligible, I have singled out some of them in the eBay posts, but I can’t cover them all, so check the eBay listings if interested.

TEAC P90 DAP: open-box for $259 or new-condition for $353
If you are comfortable taking a chance on open-box eBay items, eBay seller “Tony’s AV” (99.6%, Southern California) is offering the open-box TEAC HP-90 DAP in the black color scheme, for $259 with free shipping. There is only one unit available in black, and two available in the red color scheme.
If you prefer new condition with full manufacturer warranty, you can get this from World Wide Stereo on eBay for $353~ with free shipping when you enter coupon code C20SPRING until Monday night.
PS: the open-box for $259 is NOT eligible for the coupon. I discovered it while price-checking the new condition that is eligible for the coupon.
PS2: there is a $10 overlay screen-protector for this that is Prime-eligible at Amazon. This is obviously a clear screen protector, they show the red DAP in the picture.

Chesky Audiophile Classical Collection for $9 to $11.50 with coupon
And now a break from the eBay scavenger hunt for some music! Chesky records have released a new Classical Audiophile collection featuring 19 tracks with about 1.5 hour playtime. It is available for $12 in 44/16 or $15 with some (not all) tracks at 96/24 (there’s also a couple at uncommon sample rates, 88/24 and 48/24).

Hot eBay coupon: 20% off from Select Sellers ($50 Max Discount)

Let’s start from the beginning. eBay just launched a brand new “flash sale” coupon, coupon C20SPRING gets you 20% off products priced $25 or more from 42 participating retailers. Maximum discount with the coupon is $50, so it caps at $250 purchases. So strategically, you get the biggest percentage + amount discount on products circling $250. Coupon expires 3/27/17 PM.
Eligible sellers include World Wide Stereo among others, so this is loaded with headphone-related products. The promotional page has over 400 products eligible for this promotion!
Drilling further down in the listings, there are over 270 headphone listings participating in the promotion. Since there is a variety of sellers, make sure you check each listing to see product condition, warranty, whether they are authorized or reputable dealers, and things like that.
I will try to find time to go through these in more depth, but unfortunately I am not IBM’s Watson, just a 900 MHz Celeron-brain 🙂
