Bose QuietComfort 3 ANC Closed-Back Over-Ears with $20 eBay Gift Card for $140

Another promised Black Friday Ads deal has gone live. It is the new condition Bose QuietComfort 3 ANC headphones (closed-back, over-ear) offered for $140 with free shipping, one year warranty, AND a $20 eBay gift card. These are sold from the official BOSE eBay Outlet store, so they are as legit as they can be.

These are all the BOSE Black Friday deals at their eBay store. They have the QC25 for $179 as new or $159 as manufacturer refurbished.

The QC3 is has a built-in rechargeable battery, while the QC25 are AAA powered (a plus for fans of reusable rechargeable AAAs).

The QC25 is also available for $179 at a number of other retailers, including Bose Quiet Comfort QC25 Closed ANC for $179 at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon by Amazon actual (limit 3 per customer)

Hifiman Edition X V2 Planar Over-Ears for $1199

This one got lost in the shuffle when I posted the previous Hifiman deals, it is the new condition Hifiman Edition X V2 down to $1200 with free shipping by various sellers thru Amazon and by the official Hifiman and World Wide Stereo stores on eBAY. These too are planar magnetic, over-ear, over-the-universe headphones 🙂

Floyd Rose FR-18M Mahogany Over-Ears for $99

More from the eBAY, the new condition Floyd Rose FR-18M Mahogany Over-Ears are on sale for $99 with free shipping, with up to five pairs per customer. They are sold by the “iDJ Now” eBay store (99.8%, New York).

These come with a luxury fold-flat wood case (see gallery pictures over there for all the wood). The earcups of the headphones are of wood as well. Fans of wood unite and takeover!

eBay Ad teases Bose QuietComfort 3 ANC for $140

The eBAY Black Friday ad has been revealed and there is only one headphone there, it is the Bose QuietComfort 3 ANC over-ears offered for $140. The eBAY ad does not specify the sellers of the offers, or the condition of the product, so we won’t know until it goes live. Bose has an official outlet store there, but this headphone is not in their store right now.

I integrated their offer into our Black Friday Ads summary, which should not be confused with other tracker post, an on-going round-up of LIVE BF headphone deals.

JBL Everest 710 Bluetooth Over-Ears for $125

Among them is the new condition JBL Everest 710 Bluetooth Over-Ears in the gunmetal color scheme offered for $125 with free shipping. This is sold by Electronics EXPO through the NewEGG website. Limit three per customer.

But this appears to have propagated through the interwebs as well, a trio of sellers offer it for the same price fulfilled by Amazon, and so does the Harman Audio eBAY store and the official JBL / Harman store. It’s a small internet world 🙂

Audio Technica ATH-ANC9 ANC Over-Ears with $30 Spotify Gift Card for $109

BuyDig is competing with itself on this headphone. Now their eBay store is offering the new condition Audio Technica ATH-ANC9 ANC Over-Ears for $109 with free shipping AND a $30 Spotify gift card. Not a bad bundle if you want the headphones of course. Note that this is a 3-months of service at the $10 tier, I don’t know how this would work for other Spotify plans that have different monthly prices.

Audio Technica ATH-DSR7 BT Over-Ears for $130

Wow! Crazy discount time! The new condition Audio Technica ATH-DSR7 BT over-ears are on sale for a limited time for $130 with free shipping by Best Buy on eBay (the first link) or by Best Buy directly.

This is the “deputy” model of the ATH-DSR9-BT that made their debut a few months ago with AT’s claims of the “Pure Digital Drive”.

As of the time of writing, these have not been price-matched by amazon.com.

In a parallel sale, the leader of this line-up, the new condition ATH-DSR9BT have a more modest sale, they are going for $449 with free shipping by Dell Home and by Best Buy on eBAY and by Best Buy directly.

This one has been price-matched by a trio of fulfilled by Amazon sellers (Turntable Lab, AudioLAB, Quantum). Amazon actual remains at $550.

This is in a similar price as the new condition of the previous generation, the MDR-1000X goes for $228 at Amazon by Amazon actual.

It comes with a 90-day warranty from them, and a 30-day return policy. Limit up to five per customer.

Seller-refurbished is typically higher risk than manufacturer-refurbished which is typically factored in the prices.

The 7th generation Nano is the first to use the new Lightning connector. It also has a headphone jack, and supports bluetooth 4.0. For more on the Nanos, dig into Wikipedia.

Refurbished Sony WI-1000X Neckband BT Earphones for $200

The Sony WI-1000X neckband bluetooth earphones (that came out at the same time as the WM-1000X M2 over-ears) go for $300 in new condition, but if you don’t want to wait for future sales and want to save some now, you can get them in manufacturer refurbished condition for $200 by Secondipity on eBay and by Secondipity through Amazon (not Prime eligible).

Hifiman HE-400i Planar Magnetics drop to $219

The Hifiman HE-400i planar-magnetic headphones were released prior to the HE-400S. But they both settled in an overlapping price range the last few weeks. Now the HE-400I has gone further down, going for $219 by Hifiman on eBay (you can buy as many as you want) and by various at Amazon including Electronics Expo and the Hifiman store, both of these fulfilled by Amazon.

On the used front, the Hifi Heaven eBay store has them as a USED customer return “Like New” for $180, while at Amazon Warehouse Deals there are various “Used – Very Good” listings by AWD for $175~.

HifiMan Mega Mini Media Player for $99 [three color options]

More action in the Hifiman eBay store, the more expensive Portable Music Players were too embarrassed of the lower price of this model to have it under their DAP category so instead they pushed it to the “Other” category. Yes, the Otherization of DAPs!

Okay, silliness aside, the new condition HifiMan Mega Mini Media Player is on sale for $99 with free shipping by the Hifiman official ebay store in your choice of silver or gold or gray color schemes.

This can take microSD cards (often called “TF” in Asian tech specs) up to 256GB, and can play up to DSD. They have a long product description over there on the eBay listing, including a Q&A that answers the question whether it “requires a break-in”. I’m afraid to say that the only way to properly break in audio equipment is to use $999 audio cables, play alternative whale songs and pink noise, while wearing the headphones upside down and singing opera. This is known!

Hifiman Edition S Open/Closed Dynamic On-Ears for $129

The Hifiman eBay store is getting an early start on the Black Friday festivities, they have also discounted their open/closed Hifiman Edition S headphones from $149 to $129 in the black color scheme.

If you prefer to shop at Amazon, or if you want either color scheme, fear not, there are multiple Amazon listings on them for $129 and Prime eligible offered by the Hifiman Amazon store at these prices.

These are dynamic on-ear headphones. Their claim to fame is the “open/close” option which is fairly rare.

PS: the white color scheme’s name includes “lightning” in it. It’s part of the name. It does NOT have a lightning cable connector for Apple devices. To paraphrase REM, it’s part of the “Adventures in Chi-Fi” 🙂

Beats X (New-Other condition) bluetooth earphones for $75

If you are fond of “New – Other” eBay conditions (instead of New sealed in box) for a discount, the BuySPRY eBay stores is offering the “new – other” condition (opened original retail packaging with potential blemishes and such) Beats X bluetooth earphones for $75 with free shipping in the black or white or blue color schemes. The other colors sold out. Limit up to three per color per customer. Over 330 units sold so far from this listing per the page over there.

Note that the listing says nothing about warranty, so assume it comes without a warranty?
