HiFiMan HE-400i and portable Denon DA-10 DAC/Amp for $477 after Coupon

An innocent little coupon is hidden in plain sight under the “Special Offers and Product Promotions” part of the Amazon product page for this bundle, the HiFiMan HE-400i planar-magnetic headphones and the portable Denon DA-10 DAC/Amp. The price before the coupon is $770. Then you enter 38% off coupon code MCXAIXT2 and the price drops to around $477.

The coupon is from seller “HiDEF Lifestyle”, currently the only one offering this bundle, so the coupon will only work for them as the seller. This ships directly from HiDef Lifestyle, so no Prime shipping benefits.

Used Hifiman HE400S for $220

One things leads to another (the side-effects of price-checking and following the dominoes where they fall), and we have a handful of Hifiman posts today.

If you don’t need all the extra items that come with the HE400S bundle and you want to optimize for a lower out of pocket purchase price, and you are comfortable with open-box items, you can get the Hifiman HE400S for $220 with free shipping in Open Box condition (“Used – Very Good”) by HiDef Lifestyle through Amazon Warehouse Deals. A different seller (HiFi Heaven) has a “Used – Like New” option for $228 and it is an authorized dealer. Other sellers are also hitting the $228 price (Kraft Audio, Audio Advisor).

PS: if you find all these posts useful, please consider making your online purchases through the various affiliate links to the various sellers in these posts. Any purchase helps, you don’t have to buy the item linked, you can buy items from competing manufacturers or anything else. This is the main method of funding this blog (we only have one ad box in the sidebar and none of the other annoying forms of advertising ~ no clickbait ad-articles, no in-text ads that make the browser jumpy, no full page ads, etc).

Hifiman HE400S and FiiO A3 Portable Amp and Slappa Case and 64GB Lexar microSD for $303

PS: in terms of categorization for the purposes of this blog, if a device can play music (regardless of how good its DAC/amp may be), I file it under Digital Audio Players. If it cannot play music, I file it under the AMPs and DACs category (speaking of which, I am resisting temptation to split it, because of hybrids and other categorization complications).
