we find good deals for you!
Every Friday is a Black Friday at Massdrop and for this Friday, December 10 in 2021, they are having a Friday sale that include five headphone-related products, along with three keyboards:
Cables but they are not magic cables. At least not in terms of their price 🙂 For a limited time, the Monoprice website is offering their 12-foot Monolith RCA cables for $15 with free standard US shipping (the “FUSS” in the blog-post title here). Limit up to twenty per customer. They average 4.8 out of 5 based on 59 customer reviews over there…
These are part of the Monoprice Early Summer Clearance sale that features a few more cables and a couple of headphones ~ you can filter by product categories using the left hand side of their website…
Non-magic cables also exist at Massdrop, such as this new drop, running for the next five days and change, it is the new condition MEE Audio 2-Pin Bluetooth Cable offered for $35 with free US shipping. International shipping is surprisingly higher than expected, around $10 for a tiny little cable 🙂
This is bluetooth 4.0, with IPX5 rating. It will ship in late April 2019 from Massdrop. There’s no mention of warranty in the listing…
Magic cables without the magic price? 🙂 Cable is a very hot button issue in some audiophile forums, so it is up to you to decide where you draw the line on price, specs, benefits and the like 🙂
Running for the next week or so at the Massdrop shopping site is a sale on Lin Soul OCC silver-plated cables going for $50 each. You have various options in the shopping cart for either end of the cable. It can be 2-pin or MMCX on one end, and either 3.5mm or 2.5mm on the other end.
These will ship in early April 2019 from Massdrop. There is no mention of a warranty in the listing…
This is not a magic cable. It’s a practical cable 🙂 The new condition Fiio RC-SE1 earphone replacement 47-inch cable is currently on sale for $25 when you add it to the shopping cart at B&H Photo. It is 3.5mm on one end, and gold-plated MMCX on the other end.
Running for the next five days and change from blog posting time at the members-only but free to join Massdrop is the Venture Electronics IEM Cables going for $10 plus shipping with some options presented in the shopping cart (eg 2-pin or MMCX). These will ship in late May from Massdrop with all sales final… VE got in some trouble with the fandom in late February when the company’s founder-owner dabbled in round-about review manipulation…
The “Tinbel Store” fulfilled by Amazon currently has 14 units left of the short 60cm (two feet long) FiiO MMCX Headphone Replacement Cable, the Short Version, model RC-MMCX1s, for $10, with free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order. This is MMCX on one end and 3.5mm on the other end.
Speaking of which, the Brainwavz Audio version is a lightning deal for $15~ until 3:35pm eastern today. The same version has a 2.5mm / MMCX version for $12.54, and a 3.5mm / MMCX with mic/remote for $17.
If you are not deterred by the Venture Electronics’ owner threat to ban 1-star reviewers [a horrible practice at best], Massdrop is back with a fully unlocked offer on the new condition VE Exclusive Blue cables for Massdrop headphones for $50 with free US shipping. There are various options for cable connectors and cable length shown in the listing and selected in the shopping cart when you checkout.
These will ship in late May 2018 from Massdrop with all sales final. Here’s a screenshot crop of the options below:
But wait, there’s more! On the same listing, they have the Braided IEM cables for $10 plus shipping. They come with your choice of 2-pin or MMCX on one end, and 3.5mm or 2.5mm on the other end. These will ship in mid-April 2018.
Both offers run for the next four days and change from blog-posting date…
Monoprice cable arrival alert! Their brand new 5 foot Monolith Oxygen Free Copper Braided Headphone Cable 3.5mm and Dual 2.5mm TRS is now in-stock and shipping for $30 plus shipping! This just came in-stock. They are designed to work with the Monolith M1060* and M56* planar headphones (and anything else that fits).
The MMCX dual connectors model continues to be out of stock.
Speaking of Monoprice, they have their 3ft USB-C to microUSB cable on sale for $0.77 in the white color scheme and other colors for slightly more. The 6 inch and 6 foot models are also sale in a similar price range. Shipping is extra.
And on the headphone front, the new condition Sonic Solace ANC/Bluetooth Over-Ears is on sale for $50 plus shipping.
No magic cables here. Just $15! The Monoprice MMCX cable that was revealed at CES 2018 is now in-stock and ready to ship at the Monoprice website for $15 plus shipping. The lowest shipping is around $2.50, or you can purchase it together with other items that qualify for free shipping and they may “absorb” its shipping fee.
You can keep track of all the new arrivals in two ways:
+ our New Headphones Tracker, and
+ new audio gear shipping alerts here at this website
A number of Monoprice products are on sale and they are running a 15% off coupon until Monday night (use promo code ENJOY).
If you are planning to place an order there, this may be an interesting “appetizer” to add to your order as it is probably too small to buy on its own: the Monoprice product ID #7116 Headphone Splitter with Separate Volume Controls which goes for $0.84. Shipping is not free, which makes it too expensive to buy on its own, but if appended to a larger order, then it’s all good. You can buy as many as you like.
It averages 4.5 out of 5 at the Monoprice website based on 128 customer reviews.
Trigger warning! This post talks about triple figure headphone cables. You have been warned! Do not read any further if triggered or offended by this topic 🙂
Running for the next three days (as of the time of writing) at the members-only Massdrop are the new condition Cardas Premium Clear Light Headphone Cables offered for $135 with free USA shipping. Different size options are available.
These will ship in mid-January 2018 and will include a certificate of authenticity. They will ship by the vendor and all sales are final.
The listing says the drop is limited to 250 units, and 223 purchased so far, so they will likely run out before the expiration date. I don’t know if they have flexibility to extend the limit or not.
