Massdrop IEMs: Moondrop Stardust for $65, Etymotic ER2-SE for $70, Etc

A number of IEMs are currently on sale at the Massdrop website. You can find them among the other audiophile/phool products in this page, sorted by NEWEST. And by that they mean NEWEST as in most recently added to the Massdrop website. For example the HD 599 was recently added to Massdrop but it existed long before that.

Anyway, browsing through the listing we see sales on some IEMs including:

+ Moondrop Stardust for $65

+ Etymotic ER2-SE for $70

+ Massdrop X MEE AUDIO PINNACLE PX for $59

+ Massdrop X MEE AUDIO PLANAMIC for $69

+ 7Hz Timeless for $199
+ the hype train is indeed timeless, timeless as in devouring its children du jour 😉

+ Mangrid Tea for $260

+ Moondrop KXXX for $152

+ Etymotic ER3SE or ER3XR for $95 each
+ Etymotic ER4SR for $225

+ Dekoni Bulletz tips for $13

+ BLON BL-03 for $29

+ Campfire Audio Dorado 2020 for $699

+ and a few more

+ free standard US shipping on $100+ orders

On a more personal/blog note, I’ve finally moved on from the VE Monks hype train (LOL) and I’m trying the CCA CRA and KZ and Moondrop Chu and Final Audio budget IEMs. This is the point where I promise unboxing posts, and impressions and comparisons and then caveat it with a “time permitting basis” 😉

Wedn: MEE X10 Truly Wireless for $40

In the black or blue color schemes, $40 can get you the new condition MEE Audio X10 truly wireless earphones as part of the Wednesday November 20 (2019) daily deals at the Best Buy website. These average 4.3 out of 5 based on 27 customer reviews.

As you can see in our Black Friday 2019 round-up, truly wireless is the hottest consumer-advertised segment in the headphones market. Make sense since this is the newest sub-genre and many people have zero ~ as opposed to wired or ANC and/or bluetooth that has been around much longer…

Grab Bag Returns: MEE Audio bluetooth earphones for $25 each

If you like the semi-surprise of “grab bag” style offerings, Massdrop is back with another variant of their MEE Audio “blue box” offering running for the next four days and change (from the time of writing of this post).

You pay $25 (with free US shipping) and for that you are guaranteed to receive one (randomly chosen) earphone from this list:

  • MEE M6B (2019 model)
  • MEE M9B (2019 model)
  • MEE X6 (2018 model)
  • MEE X7 in red

As you may be able to tell from the model names, all four are necklace-style bluetooth earphones. The chances are evenly split in this grab bag, so there’s no statistical favorite. Limit up to ten “blue boxes” per customer.

Prizes “unlock” every few hundred units sold, and if you are one of the lucky few, you will receive the prizes (AKG K7XX, NuForce EDC) instead of the MEEs. Not sure what happens if you don’t want the price and instead you want the actual thing you paid for?

Per the Massdrop website, the selection happens in this fashion:

“Participants will have their order number swirled around in a random number generator that allocates IEMs accordingly”

Blue Bag: MEE Audio X-series bluetooth earphones for $25

If you are a fan of the mild excitement of not knowing exactly which model you will receive in the mail, Massdrop is running another blue bag sale, this time is the MEE X-series bluetooth earphones. You pay $25, and for that price you are guaranteed to receive one of four bluetooth earphone models:

+ MEE Audio X5 or X6 or X7 (chance of 30% each)
+ MEE Audio X8 (10% chance)

This being a random pick, you don’t get to pick the colors – they are what they are shown over there. There is a limit of two grab-bags per Massdrop account. There’s no mention of warranty. They will ship in late March 2019.

As usual, they also have “nilestone prizes” which include various AKG x Massdrop over-ears and the Hifiman HE-350 and the Noble X Universal. Think of these as lottery ticket type of chances, so don’t buy a grab bag just for a chance to win one of these.

Massdrop MEE Audio Bluetooth Earphone Grab Bag for $22 w/FS

If you love the randomness of grab bags, Massdrop is back once again with another MEE Audio bluetooth earphone grab bag.
