MEE Pinnacle P1 in-ears with choice of Fiio A3 or Q1 or A1 + cable for $200

The new condition price of the MEE Pinnacle P1 in-ears is $200. Sometimes it goes on sale (eg, featured in the lightning deals). If you don’t want to wait for another sale or if you happen to also want either the portable Fiio A3 headphone amp _OR_ the Fiio Q1 headphone DAC/amp, you can get them bundled together, along with a Monoprice 3.5mm cable, for $200 by Beach Camera, with the orders Prime-eligible by Amazon, so you get free shipping.

Here are the listings, P1 with A3 and P1 with Q1. The Q1 bundle is fulfilled by Amazon, while the Q3 bundle ships from Beach Camera, but it will ship with Prime-like speed (you only see this option if you are a Prime member, and logged on to your Prime account). This is a lesser known benefit of Prime. See screenshot below indicating this:

But wait, there’s more! The P1 is bundled with the Fiio A1 and a 3.5mm cable extender, for the same price of $200, sold by a different marketplace seller, but the order fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime eligible. The A1, just like the A3, are headphone amp only (the A-series is AMP-only, so perhaps there is some method to the Fiio naming madness).

NOTE: the A3 (nee E11K) is a headphone amp only. The USB input is for battery charging, not audio in!

If you need all three, this is a great deal. You don’t have to use them all three together, some of these bundles are more useful when seen that way.

LG giving free B&O Play H3 In-Ears with select V20 purchases

In a press release that came out yesterday, T-Mobile says that if you purchase the LG V20 from them, you will be able to get a free pair of B&O Play H3 In-Ears from LG. The H3s are NOT included in the box by T-Mobile. The press release points to the LG V20 website for redemption details. You may have to to register the phone to get it. The exact details of the redemption are not known since the phone is not even out yet.

Another unknown is whether you get the first-generation H3s or the second generation. The list price for both is $150, so price alone can’t tell.

If you are only interested in the H3, a marketplace seller at amazon.com (Prime eligible) was able to snag the H3s that were part of the LG G5 launch promotion and is selling them for $100 in new condition. There are no reviews to this listing, so this is for the boldly-going 🙂 These are presumably the first generation?

Having said all that, the price of the LG V20 is still up in the air. T-Mobile did not reveal a price, but AT&T lists it for $830. It is also offered through the installment plans that bandaid (verb) the initial sticker shock, but the price is still the same (30 months of $27.67 per month). It is also eligible for “Next” and Trade-In promotions (the H3 appear to be in the Trade-In promotion).

Verizon’s press release says they will carry it but it’s NOT on their website yet. Sprint has it on their website with a “Coming Soon” but no price or order details yet.

The V20 is generating some headphone-related interest/hype, Quad-DAC and all. Here’s one post by Android Authority talking V20 audio, and many and more posts and forum threads across the interwebs.

Audio Technica M40x for $80 [or with Fiio A1 and Slappa Case for $99]

The Audio Technica M40x closed-back over-ear has been slowly chipping away at the M50x hype, a counter-insurgency of sorts, and it is currently on sale, going for $80 with free shipping by a marketplace seller with the order fulfilled by Amazon… Alternately, Beach Camera is bundling it with a Fiio A1 tiny amp and the Slappa Case for $99 (the case goes for $20 on its own, the Fiio A1 goes for $28 on its own)… Alternately, the Amazon recommendation engine points out this $14 co2CREA headphone case

Beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium (600 ohm) with Fiio A1, Slappa Case, 32GB card for $229

The new condition Beyerdynamic DT 880 PREMIUM (600 ohm) are currently unlocked for $218~ shipped at Massdrop with a late October shipment estimate, but in terms of bang for the buck, this offer is “defeated” by Beach Camera on Amazon offering them for $229 with a Slappa HardBody Case ($20 price on its own), along with the Fiio A1 tiny little amp ($28 on its own), and a 32GB Lexar microSD with reader.

[DEAD] Audeze SINE On-Ears and iFi Nano iDSD for $449

This sale ended… It’s bundle time again at Adorama.com, they are offering the closed-back Audeze SINE on-ears with the iFi Nano-iDSD PCM/DSD/DXD USB DAC, together for $449 with free shipping until 10/8/16.

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.

$5 Modal Earbuds with Tablet Purchase (300+ options)

And now a bundle offer on the low end of the earphone spectrum, you can get Modal earbuds for $5 when you purchase them together with a qualifying tablet (300+ options) at the Best Buy website. The offer is available online only, not at their stores.

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO (250 ohm) and Fiio E12 Mont Blanc and Slappa Case and 32GB Sony microSD for $599

The recently released Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO (250 ohm) currently goes for $599 at the few authorized dealers that currently sell it, but one of the retailers is offering it in a loaded bundle for the same price, Beach Camera on Amazon is bundling it with three freebies:

  • Fiio E12 Mont Blanc headphone amp
  • Slappa HardBody PRO headphone case
  • 32GB Sony microSD card

Now the accessories do not necessarily have to be used all together. For example, none of the items included can use a microSD card, but you can use it on your phone, tablet, laptop, etc. The Fiio E12 and the Case can be used with the DT 1990 or any other headphones you have, whichever are the best match for your needs and preferences.

The Fiio E12 goes for around $100 on its own, and the case goes for around $20. You can get a 32GB microSD for around $10 these days, so that’s $130 in freebies while paying the same price.

This bundle gets free 2-day shipping even though it ships directly from Beach Camera. It’s a relatively recent development where Amazon partners with some of the marketplace sellers to encourage them to offer Prime-shipping on select items that ship directly from the seller. This typically happens for more expensive items. You can figure this out by paying attention to the highlighted areas in an Amazon product page such as this (screenshot below):
