Audio Technica M40x + MacKie CR4 Monitors for $170

The Audio Technica M50x has been accumulating enough hype that the M40x is emerging as a counter-culture alternative. Or something like that 🙂 If interested in the M40x, it is currently bundled with the Mackie CR4 4″ 50W Creative Reference Multimedia Monitor Speakers, together for $170 with free shipping at authorized dealer Adorama.com.

Sennheiser HD 600 + Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO (250 ohm) + Audio Technica M30x for $400

Earlier in the week, we mentioned Amazon’s crazy HD 650 bundles. But the HD 600 has its own crazy bundles as well. We start with a three headphone bundle (you are reading right!) offered for $400. For that, you get, in new condition, the following headphones:

  • Sennheiser HD 600 open-back over-ear open-ears
  • Beyerdynamic DT-990 PRO (250 ohm) open-back over-ear
  • Audio-Technica ATH-M30x closed-back over-ear

Given that the first two are 300 and 250 ohm respectively, amping is perhaps the way to make the most of these. Both have been around for a while and there are countless forum threads talking about amping options for these.

There are no coupons, no rebates. You just add the bundle to the shopping cart and proceed to checkout as usual and that’s it.

Sennheiser HD 600 + $150 Gift Card for $400 total

This is not a bad deal at all. For $400, Amazon bundles the new condition open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 600 headphones and a $150 Amazon Gift Card (plastic gift card delivered by mail). That puts the headphone at $250 since you can use the gift card for its face value or even sell/trade it for close to that amount. Or hand it off to someone else as a holiday gift. No coupons, no rebates, just add to cart and checkout.

TIP: in the remote chance the gift card arrives before the headphones ship, you may be able to apply the value of the gift card towards the purchase. This rarely happens, in the lightning strikes neighborhood.

Sennheiser HD7 DJ headphones + Korg USB DJ Controller for $220

And another bundle, this one with a decided DJ spin on it (yes, pun was intended!). It is the closed-back over-ear Sennheiser HD7 headphones bundled with the Korg USB DJ Controller, all together, without rebate and without coupon, for $220 with free shipping at Adorama.com. Offer ends by 12/22/15.

Fiio X3 II DAP + Blue MoFi Headphones for $390

Time for another bundle, this time it is the second generation Fiio X3 II digital audio player bundled with the Blue Microphones Mo-Fi powered headphones, all together for $390 with free shipping at Adorama.com. Offer ends by 12/22/15.

Sennheiser HD 650 + $200 Gift Card for $500

This is an interesting bundle, you pay $500 and for that you get the new condition Sennheiser HD 650 open-back over-ear headphones and $200 Amazon.com physical gift card from Amazon actual. You can use the gift card towards future purchases or give it to others as a holiday gift or do whatever you want with it (eg sell/trade it).

Power User Tip: in the rare case where the gift card arrives in your hands before the headphones ship, you should be able to put the value of the gift card towards the purchase price of the HD 650s. This happens very rarely, but there’s a statistical probability of it happening.

Crazy Times: Sennheiser HD 650 + Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO (250) + Audio Technica M30X for $500

You may have seen two-headphone bundles and puzzled as to what they were thinking. Well, if they can bundle two, why not three? That’s right, Amazon has bundled three different headphones for $500. You get the new condition Sennheiser HD 650, the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO (250 ohm), and the Audio Technica M30X. Two open-back with high “ohmage” and one closed-back, all over-ears. You can keep them all to yourself, or give some as gifts to other people. The holidays are almost here after all.

Versus Buying Them Separately
Now this bundle is a bit more tricky to evaluate. It makes sense if you want all three of them and you need them right now. If you don’t need all three, or you don’t need them immediately, and you don’t object to mail-in rebates and gift cards, you can get a better deal if you buy them piece-meal:

So with this more complicated option, you pay $705 out of pocket, but you receive a $200 Gift Card and $30 back via mail-in rebate. So it nets $475 when it is all said and done.

Sennheiser HD 650 + M-Audio AV32 Studio Monitors + Yeti USB Mic for $500

In the second of three crazy Sennheiser HD 650 bundles, Amazon bundles it with two different products, the M-Audio AV32 Studio Monitors (speakers pair) along with the Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone. All these are offered from Amazon actual. No coupon or rebate is needed. They are the only ones offering this bundle, so you don’t have to worry about marketplace sellers. Although in all likelihood, they’ll ship the three items as if you purchased them regularly. I doubt this is a “factory bundle”.

Audio Technica M40x and Tascam DR-05 for $120

We have another Audio Technica M40x bundle, this time it is paired with the Tascam DR-05 Portable Handheld Digital Audio Recorder, together going for $120 with free shipping at Adorama. Offer ends by 12/14/15.

Audio Technica M70x + Fiio X3 II DAP for $300

Here’s another headphone + DAP bundle, this offer is good until 12/12/15 at Adorama: you get the Audio Technica M70x headphones AND the second generation Fiio X3 digital audio player, together for $300. No coupon, no rebate, just checkout. As with many of the bundles, they make sense if you have use for both items included. For example, keep one and gift the other. Because the holidays are almost upon us.

Audio Technica M40x + Blue Microphones YETI USB Condenser Mic for $130

Back to the M40x we go, where we find it bundled with the Blue Microphones YETI USB Condenser Mic for $130 with free shipping at Adorama.com. That’s a straight up sale price, no coupons needed, no rebates. Offer expires 12/14/15.

Fiio X3 II DAP and Audio Technica M50x for $225

Temptation time! The second generation Fiio X3 digital audio player is bundled with the white Audio Technica M50x, together for $225 with free shipping at Adorama.com.

There as well, the black M50x is bundled with the FiiO E17K Alpen 2 USB DAC/Amp for $180 with free shipping.

Both offers expire at the end of day on Tuesday 12/1/15.

Audio Technica M50x and $30 VISA Gift Card for $120

The Audio Technica M50x offers continue to roll along the interwebs. A new net-low for the headphones, you can get them in new condition for $120 by Buydig on eBay and 2-4 weeks later you will also receive a $30 prepaid VISA gift card. Given that most people can easily spend a $30 VISA gift card on regular purchases, it becomes a virtual net $90 on the headphones.

Alternately you can get the headphones and the $30 gift card (but shipping in 4-6 weeks) with the Fiio E6 added for $135. So you would be adding the E6 for just +$15. You can’t find it less than $20 in new condition from authorized dealers.

Headphone Duet for $400: Sennheiser HD 600 + Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (80 ohm)

A developing new trend perhaps in the world of headphone shopping, Amazon too is now in the game of headphone duets (I think that’s a good name to give this trend?). By “duets’ I mean they bundle two headphones and sell them together for one low(er) price. This particular bundle, sold by Amazon actual pairs the open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 600 headphones with the Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro (80 ohm) closed-back over-ear headphones. These are new condition with manufacturer warranties.

PS: an easy way to remember the Beyerdynamic open/closed DT-famous models, the higher the number the more open they get: 770 is closed, 880 is semi-open, 990 is open for the whole universe to hear 🙂
