Sony MDR-100AAP and $100 Promo Gift Card for $198
The closed-back over-ear Sony MDR-100AAP headphones, part of their “h.ear” line-up, go for $200 at authorized Sony USA dealers. That’s also the price at the Dell Home store, however, good until 10/27/2016 at 7am central time, you will receive a $100 Dell promotional gift card if you purchase them for $198.
The $100 promo gift card will be emailed to you 10-20 days after your order ships, and will have to be used within 90 days of delivery. That’s why it’s “promo gift card”, instead of a normal gift card. This is partially why they are able to offer this, it almost guarantees that you will place at least one more order from them. So it’s sort of like a customer acquisition type of an expense.
Only the black color scheme is eligible for this. The offer is mentioned both on the product page and the shopping cart. Here’s a screenshot of how it looks on the product page:
Review-wise, so far, they average 4.4 out of 5 but only based on 29 customer reviews at amazon.com where they actually have slightly more answered-questions than reviews. These are folding headphones by the way.

You don’t have to wait for Amazon lightning deals or sales to get these under $20, because the maker’s own eBay store offers them for under $20, in new condition, and with free shipping for all. “These” are the Bluedio Turbine T2S bluetooth over/on-ears (I can’t tell for certain whether they are over- or on-ear). They run Bluetooth 4.1 and have a built-in rechargeable battery. The ones on sale at the Bluedio eBay store are the red color scheme going for the very specific price of $17.20 with free shipping, and the blue color scheme going for the very specific price of $17.50 with free shipping. These ship from Southern California, offer 30-day returns, and have no quantity limit per customer.
These have nearly 3000 customer reviews at amazon.com where they average 4 out of 5 and they have over 500 questions answered. They even fold ~ the headphones, not the reviews 😉
I haven’t listened to them, but the price is right for a utilitarian bluetooth set. If I didn’t already have a boatload of things to review I would have picked up a pair to review, but I’m only one and more of a single-threaded Celeron than a 256-threaded workstation 😉
Velodyne vLeve On-Ears for $12 w/free S&H

Sony MDR-100AAP with Fiio A1 head-amp and Slappa Case for $200
The Sony MDR-100AAP closed headphones currently go for $200 at authorized Sony dealers. While still paying $200, you can score a handful of freebies when you buy them from Beach Camera on Amazon in four different color schemes. Four freebies are included by Beach, two of them are significant: a Slappa Hardbody case and the small Fiio A1 headphone amp. The other two freebies are a microfiber cloth and a 2600 mah keychain battery (mayhaps the Clip+ is a good match for it, definitely not much you can get out of it with a modern smartphone).
Some of these bundles may make sense if you have multiple different types of headphones, and you don’t necessary want to use all the included items together. For example, you could use the Fiio A1 to power something else, and you could use the case to store other headphones. Or if you don’t need the extras, you can gift them or trade/sell them.
In new condition, the Fiio A1 goes for $28, while the Slappa Hardbody goes for $20.

These are the early adopter prices, for those curious/anxious to try them out.
