Refurbished Klipsch X12 bluetooth neckband earphones for $139

They look a bit like a prop from a futuristic movie recorded in the past, but they actually play music, they are the manufacturer refurbished Klipsch X12 Bluetooth Neckband earphones offered for $139 with free shipping by BuyDig’s eBay store. Limit five units per customer during this promotion. They are balanced armature and support AAC and aptX.

PS: keep in mind, when it comes to bluetooth, the protocol between your music source and your headphones is the highest common denominator between the two. Your phone may support apt-X HD and LDAC and Bluetooth 5.0 and Unicorn MQA Quad-HD DSD but if your headphone only supports Bluetooth 2.1, that’s what you will connect with.

Still Good: Philips SHP9500S for $49 – Also: just posted detailed Unboxing Post of them

The open-back over-ear Philips SHP9500S continue to sell for $49 with free shipping at the NewEgg eBay store.

But that’s not all. My impulse buy arrived yesterday, and in a record-breaking turnaround (for me), I just published a detailed Text and Pictures unboxing. No animations, no video, no audio, just text and pictures. A “review diary” will begin during the weekend. Having a standard 3.5mm detachable cable definitely offers more flexibility (eg if you want to use your own mic/remote cable) ~ testing of those in the upcoming “review diary”.

If there’s anything you want me to check or test, please leave a comment in any of the SHP9500S posts or ask on Twitter.

Fostex TX-1 Closed Over-Ears for $20 w/free S&H

Fostex too has headphones all over the price range. On the budget side of things, their TX-1 closed-back over-ears go for $20 with free shipping by the Musician’s Friend (MF) group of companies including MF directly and Music 123 thru Amazon (not Prime eligible) and by MF through eBay.

Speaking of them, the CAD MH-310 which looks very similar (but not identical) to a certain Superlux/Samson headphone (I think the SR-950) is on sale for $30 with free shipping by Musician’s Friend and free store pickup by Guitar Center. But if you don’t have coupons or store credit or gift cards there, the Samson SR-950 goes for $24 with free S&H at Adorama.

Both are budget studio headphones, so it is reasonable to assume trade-offs versus well-regarded $100+ studio headphones. Although I suppose a more accurate term would be “studio-useful headphones” versus “studio” which is as much marketing as it describes function 🙂
