eBay doorbuster time now! The TechRabbit eBay store is offering “new in bulk packaging” Samsung 3.5mm Earbuds with In-Line Volume Control & Mic, model EHS64AVFWE, for $1.99 with free shipping. They ship from the US. You can buy as many as you like. Let the price set expectations as they say 🙂
Per the listing over there, more than 95% of available units are sold as of the time of writing, so it is on its way out.
Back on the sale train again, the new condition Beyerdynamic DT880 PREMIUM (250 ohm) Special Edition Chrome semi-open over-ear headphones are going for $139 with free shipping by Buydig on eBay with up to five units per customer during the sale.
PS: if you are not familiar with the various DT 770 / 880 / 990 options, be sure to look them up as there are many variations and permutations!
eBay strikes again with another coupon, enter promo code PSUMMER20 to get 20% off the purchase of select products priced $25+ with a maximum coupon discount of $50. The coupon expires 6/21/17 at 3am eastern time. One use per customer.
The sale includes almost 200 headphones. Because of the way the offer is structured, you get a flat $50 off discount on items priced over $250. For items between $25 to $250, you get 20% off. So the offer gets you the best discount for items in this price range.
As usual, price-check for any products you may not be familiar with. Also check whether a seller is an authorized dealer as that affects the price.
Friday is over and so is this daily deal…
One of the offers participating in the new 10% off eBay coupon code PJUNESAVINGS10 that gets you 10% off qualifying products priced $25+ is the “New – Other” condition JBL Synchros S500 Powered Headphones [CORRECTED LINK!] offered for $53 with free shipping before coupn. The 10% off coupon drops them to under $48.
Their condition in the listing over there is described by Brooklyn seller “Poppy Deals” (99.6%) as being new condition but not in the retail packaging to save on shipping. As usual, these type of offers have a higher risk than buying new-in-retail-box from authorized and well-known dealers, so it’s up to you to decide where you draw the line on risk taking.
These are wired but powered. Their circuit is powered by two AAA batteries, which is a plus if you are a fan of rechargeables or have a giant container full of single use batteries. The carrying case and the two cables are included in the package.
The coupon expires 6/9/17 at 11:59pm PST.
Roughly 400 different headphone listings from a handful of eBay sellers participating in a new eBay promo code offer. Enter PJUNESAVINGS10 over there, to get 10% off a purchase of $25 from those participating retailers and their assorted listings. The maximum discount with the coupon is $100.
More details on the offer at this Coupon’s Main page. The offer expires at 3am ET on 6/10/17.
Google’s first (and only so far) generation of the Chromecast Audio critter is back on sale again, going for $30 with free shipping by GOOGLE’s eBAY store with a limit of up to five units per customer.
Also on sale, online and in-store for $30 at Staples.com. Free shipping depends on your Reward membership status and/or order total. You can also select store pickup if you want to avoid a shipping fee.
We have a useful text and pictures unboxing here, but no review yet 🙂 This is what’s included in the box, so in terms of reusable accessories, you get a yellow interconnect (two ring / three pole), a microUSB to USB cable, and a USB AC charging head.
If you are comfortable with manufacturer refurbished headphones, either color scheme of the Sony MDR-1000X ANC and Bluetooth over-ears are available for $260 with free shipping by Secondipity thru eBay. They come with a 90-day warranty by LSI, a PDF file [direct link to PDF] of which is included in the eBay product description.
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.
This may be of interest equal parts headphone, equal parts accessory hoarding (assuming all the accessories shown in the eBay listing are included). It is the manufacturer refurbished closed-back on-ear Logitech UE4000 headphones for $18 with free shipping by eBay seller “stem_tech” (99.3%, ships from Florida). Limit five per buyer.
This has a very closed back sound, a small room type of feel to the music. If all the accessories shown in the description are included, this is a good value, you get a detachable Apple MFi cable (which you can use on any other headphone as well), a headphone sharing splitter, and a zippered travel case.
On the accessories front, the new condition A174 Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter Cable (generic brand, not Apple brand) is on sale for $4.49 with free shipping (from Florida; not China) as one of the latest eBay Daily Deals, sold by eBay seller “itsellers12” (98.4%). Limit five units per customer. The cable averages 3.6 out of 5 based on 200+ eBay customer product ratings.
We cover everything from single figure to four figure headphones and assorted gear here. To the four figure we go now, authorized dealer Adorama’s eBay store is offering the used AUDEZE LCD-X headphones for $1299 with free shipping. There is only one unit available.
NOTE: Best Offer is enabled on this offer, so you can try to negotiate a lower price within eBay’s “Best Offer” framework. If you are not familiar with it, here’s a screenshot of what to look for:
The official Bose eBay store is offering the new condition Bose QuietComfort 25 ANC headphones (closed back, over ears) for $225 with free shipping in the white color scheme and with the Samsung/Android buttons. Only this option is currently offered on their eBay store.
This is a previous generation model, it only has ANC (active noise cancelling), no bluetooth!
This sold out: Speaking of Bose, their Amazon store is offering the new condition Bose QuietComfort 20 ANC earphones for $180 with free shipping. They ship directly from Bose and they are not Prime eligible. This too is the white color scheme but with the Apple/iOS in-line remote configuration.
Back to eBay, the Musician’s Friend eBay store has another sale, the new condition Tascam TH-300X Studio Headphones for $35 with free shipping. Limit up to five units per customer.
This looks like an OEM design that goes by various other brand names as well, so use your favorite search engine(s) if you are interested in this.
The coupon offer on this ended, but it came back as a separate listing that is not eligible for the 20% off coupon. So the price is straight up, you pay what you see, it is the new condition Beyerdynamic DT880 PREMIUM Chrome Special Edition (250 ohm) going for $139 with free shipping by eBay seller Beach Camera
As of a 5/18/17 re-check, this sold out in both colors and cannot be ordered…
This eBay coupon ended, but they seem to bring similar ones out every few weeks…

On the budget studio headphones front, the new condition closed-back over-ear Marantz MPH-1 headphones are on sale for $30 with free shipping by the Musician’s Friend eBay store. As you can see from the pictures, it is a familiar design that is also sold under other brands (CAD comes to mind among others).
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.
The official BOSE eBay store (won’t it tarnish their reputation among the business executives if they sell on eBay? #troll) is offering the new condition Bose SoundLink Bluetooth On-Ears for $170 with free shipping with a limit of up to three units per customer.
They are close in price going for $180 at some of the membership clubs, BJs and Sam’s.
If you are chasing the Sony MDR-Z1R closed-back flagship, and want to get it in new condition at an authorized Sony USA dealer, there are three units available of it for $2300 by Audio Advice on eBay. Audio Advice is a B&M A/V retailer with two stores in North Carolina. Roy Williams NOT included 🙂
PS: you can always double-check using the Sony Retailers directory page.
RazorDog Audio is offering a store display unit of the Hifiman HE 560 planar magnetic headphones for $624 with free shipping through their eBay store. This was a store display, not a store demo. Their eBay listing describes it as:
“Taken out of the box for store displays. Always kept inside glass display, never used. Comes in original package. Has no marks or dings.”
On the “Phones as DAPs” front, for the more adventurous shoppers, eBay Seller “Cellular Stream” (98.2%, Lincolnshire), is offering “New – Other” condition of the Sprint-locked LG V20 smartphone, model LS997, for $300 with free shipping. Limit up to five per buyer.
Cellular-wise, you can only use it on Sprint and any of the Sprint-approved MVNOs (Ting, FreedomPOP, etC). It is LOCKED to Sprint. It comes with a 30-day warranty from the seller, no LG warranty. The LS997 is the Sprint-designated model (see Tech Walls or use your favorite search engine).
Per the listing, you get the phone, the battery, the OEM LG charger, and a USB-C cable. No original box, nothing else included. The listing promises a Clean ESN.
If you are planning to use it strictly as a Wifi-only DAP and Media Player (5.7″ screen and microSD card along with 64GB on-board storage and 4GB RAM), then the cellular part is not as important. However, this being Sprint-locked, it means (other things equal) that if you decide to sell it in the future, it will fetch less than a GSM-unlocked model would.
Also, since you are only getting a 30-day seller warranty, this increases the risk. All of these factors, along with the seller’s feedback score, contribute to this being offered for $300 instead of a lot more.
If any of the above does not make you comfortable, DO NOT BUY!
This is yo-yo-ing on price, and it is now down to $100 again, it is the new condition closed back Beyerdynamic DT 770 (16 ohm) going for $100 with free shipping by BuyDig’s eBAY store. This is new condition with USA warranty.
The new condition Google Chromecast Audio (only one generation made so far) is on sale for $30 with free shipping with a limit of up to five units per customer at GOOGLE’s eBAY store.
We have a useful text and pictures unboxing here, but no review yet 🙂 This is what’s included in the box, so in terms of reusable accessories, you get a yellow interconnect (two ring / three pole), a microUSB to USB cable, and a USB AC charging head.
Now living in the shadow of the buzz-generating Sony MDR-1000X, the older Sony MDR-100-ABN (also Bluetooth with ANC) is having good reasons to get discounted. The black color scheme of the 100ABN is currently on sale, in new condition, for $180 with free shipping, by BUYDIG’s eBAY store. You have to do the “add to cart” song and dance to see the $180 price.
It’s back on sale again, the new condition Philips SHP-9500S (“S” is part of the model name) that appears to be a NewEgg exclusive model is going for $50 with free shipping by NewEgg’s eBay store with a limit of up to five units per customer.
I have this and I am planning a review (everything is moving in slow motion review-wise) but I posted a useful text and pictures unboxing. No video, no audio, just text and pictures, not even a wooden table 😉 For the price, it’s definitely a good value for an open-back over-ear with a detachable cable (the included cable is a basic one; and no mic/remote). It is very big-head friendly, I can just barely fit in the Monoprice 8323, but this one I’m only halfway up in the extension sliders.
As with any headphone that builds up hype train momentum, this is by no means perfect, so don’t expect unicorns and butterflies flying around your head when you listen to it 🙂
On the “Phones as DAPs” front, the international version of the LG V20, H990DS, factory-unlocked but does not work with CDMA since that’s a US market thing, with dual SIMs, is on sale, in new condition, for $440 with free shipping by NeverMSRP on eBay in black or silver. The pink is out of stock. Limit five per buyer.
Check bands in the listing and online if you are not certain this will work with your carrier of choice. A US charging adapter will be included by the seller. Since this is imported, no LG USA warranty.
This has a headphone jack, it is USB-C powered, supports Bluetooth 4.2 with apt-X, and has the highly talked about Quad DAC. 4GB of RAM, 64GB on-board storage, microSD (up to 256GB), and removable battery bode well for music playback. The size may be a bit of a detriment if you plan to use it as a pocket DAC.
I’m finding a 6-inch phone (I don’t have this one) with a headphone cord attached to it becomes a bit of a pocket monster. On the other hand, if you like to watch music videos or concerts on the phone, the extra screen and resolution can be handy. Remember, if you are paying for Google Play All Access or YouTube RED, you can download the YouTube Music app and play YouTube music ad-free either in video or audio-only mode (saves battery, especially if you are not looking at the screen). You are not going to get audiophile-level streaming from YouTube Music, but some content cannot be found or purchased from the various music streaming services (eg, “Cassette” from “Viet Cong” reborn as “Preoccupations” ~ as seen at Coachella 2017 ~ after getting yelled at for inappropriate use of a name. The band seems to have trouble picking names in general, both of their studio albums are self-titled, and their first EP was titled “Cassette”).
On the budget side of the things, the AKG Y20 earphones are on sale for $20 in new condition by Amazon actual in black and by Harman on eBay in white. Free shipping for all from Harman, and for Prime members (or $35+) at Amazon’s.
This coupon promotion expired, but eBay seems to be launching more and more of them these days, so stay tuned in the future for potentially future ones 🙂
The Cylons are coming, hot off the Beyerdynamic baseship, Buydig’s eBay store is offering the new condition BeyerDynamic DT 880 Premium Special Edition Chrome Version 250 ohm for $139 with free shipping. Limit up to five units per customer. They sold over 370 units so far per the eBay listing statistics.
The Best Buy eBay store is offering the new condition Razer Kraken Pro Analog Gaming Headset (green color scheme) for $35 with free shipping or free store pickup. Limit up to five units per customer for this limited time offering.
