Monoprice M560 Planars for $170 [corrected]

When it rains deals, it pours! Monoprice is sale-a-brating their 15-Year Anniversary and one of the items on sale for this are the new condition M560 Planar Magnetic Open/Closed Headphones. The open/closed is determined by removing/adding the included earcup outer cover.

These are rarely discounted on their own, but their bundle with the Monoprice Bluetooth Amp is often couponized. Meanwhile, the M1060 are not on sale.

PS: the HTML mess is now CORRECTED!

Monoprice Sonic Solace ANC/BT Over-Ears for $54 + S&H after coupon

Coupon code CHILL15 gets you 15% off many (but not all) products at Monoprice until Tuesday night. Yes, finally, a 3-day coupon, so you won’t miss it and you can find time to plan a purchase, since they have many affordable cables and adapters and such.

Which brings us to the brown/tan color scheme of the Monoprice Sonic Solace ANC + Bluetooth Over-Ears dropping from $64~ to $54~ with the coupon CHILL15. Shipping is extra and varies depending on what else you buy and such. The black color scheme is not on sale, and is not coupon eligible.

PS: I just re-tested their M560 and M1060. Neither of them is eligible for the coupon (they rarely are).

[DEAD] Monoprice Metal On-Ears for $34 with free S&H after coupon

This coupon expired…

Good until Sunday night, coupon code SUMMER15 gets you 15% off eligible Monoprice orders including the new condition closed-back Metal Dynamic On-Ear Headphones. The price before the coupon is $40. The coupon drops it to $34. It has a free standard US shipping promotion on it at the moment, which is stackable with the coupon.

[DEAD] Monoprice Lightweight Closed On-Ears for $8.50 w/free S&H

This coupon expired…

Good until Sunday night, coupon code SUMMER15 gets you 15% off on almost everything at the Monoprice, including the new condition closed-back lightweight on-ear PID 13191 headphone for $8.50 with free shipping. The regular price is $10 and it currently has a free standard US shipping promotion. So the combination of the coupon and the free shipping gets you the deal.

This is tastefully bassy headphone for listening to modern musical genres, and it also sells under other brands including AmazonBasics and AblePlanet, but I don’t know what differences they may have beyond the visible.

New Blog Post: Unboxing the Monoprice Desktop Headphone Amp (PID 11567)

Nothing like a deadline to get you to get things done 🙂 I just posted a Text and Pictures Unboxing Post (no audio, no annoying video, no animations) of the Monoprice 11567 desktop headphone amp. I had purchased this (with my own money) during a previous sale at Monoprice.

The coupon expired: The deadline being that you can get it for $64 plus shipping at the Monoprice website using coupon code BIG20 until 3am eastern on Tuesday (I think that’s when the Monoprice daily coupons expire since Monoprice is on the pacific time zone ~ but I haven’t tested the exact coupon expiration time).

Opinions and reviews on how this performs will come in future posts! I am trying to get optimized so I can post a LOT more content ~ instead of one thing every other month 🙂

Monoprice Lightweight Closed On-Ears for $8.88 + $2.49 S&H

If you are looking for a budget lightweight closed-back on-ear headphone that is tuned for modern music with a rather tasteful bass emphasis, what looks like a Monoprice clone (PID 13191) of the AmazonBasics model is on sale for $8.88 plus shipping (looks like it is $2.49 flat even for East Coast zip codes) at the Monoprice website.

The Monoprice clone averages 4.6 out of 5 based on 161 customer reviews at Monoprice. The AmazonBasics model averages 4.3 out of 5 based on 3200+ customer reviews at Amazon. I’ve also seen this design under other brand names. I’ve only heard the AmazonBasics model, so comparisons to the other models is based on how they look. AmazonBasics is not using exclusive designs, I’ve had other products in my hands that are both AB and non-AB (a tablet stand comes to mind) and they look exactly the same, but as usual, there’s a YMMV until you put them all side by side under a microscope 🙂

Monoprice 3.5mm Stereo Plug to 6.35mm (1/4 Inch) Stereo Jack Adaptor for $1.03

If you are planning to place a $25+ order at Amazon, or if you need 25+ of these little critters, the Monoprice 3.5mm Stereo Plug to 6.35mm (1/4 Inch) Stereo Jack Adaptor, gold plated, is on sale for $1.03, in new condition at Amazon by Amazon actual. The catch is that this is an Add-ON item, so their shopping cart will refuse to let you buy this, unless your order total is $25+ in eligible products.

This averages 4 out of 5 based on almost 300 customer reviews, and has almost 30 questions answered. NOTE however that a number of customer reviews are pointing out that it doesn’t fit their devices/instruments/situations or work as expected, so YMMV.

Monoprice Stereo Tube Bluetooth Headphone Amp for $80 with free S&H

More Monoprice action, this too is part of their Audio sale, it is the new condition Monoprice Stereo Tube Headphone Amp (with 24-bit/96kHz USB DAC, Bluetooth, and Preamp Out), model 16154, going for $80 with free standard US shipping, which is a treat since they don’t often offer free shipping.

UPDATE: speaking of Monoprice amplifiers, their Tube Amp with Bluetooth 15-watt Compact Stereo Hybrid, PID 16152, is on sale for $50 with free standard US shipping. This is NOT a headphone amp.

Monoprice Metal On-Ears for $35 + S&H

Another headphone is on sale, part of the Monoprice Memorial Sale Audio sale, it is the new condition Metal Dynamic On-Ear Headphones offered for $35 instead of their usual price of $50. No coupon is needed, this is a straight up sale.

Shipping is extra, options vary by zipcode, and look to be $7+. Unlike earphones that are small and packaged lightly [eg the Triple XXX IEMs], over/on-ears take up more space, which means more expensive S&H fees. However, one way to get a lower price on shipping is to buy it together (in the same shopping cart) with another item that is eligible for free shipping.

Monoprice XXX Triple Driver IEMs for $40 + S&H

This is not a coupon but a sale! The Monoprice XXX Triple Driver IEMs is on sale for $40 plus shipping for the Memorial Day shopping weekend. Because IEMs are small, most zipcodes qualify for the $2.49 Monoprice Saver (3-6 business days).

UPDATE: this is part of a larger Headphone and Audio sale for the Memorial Day weekend.

[DEAD] Friday: Monoprice M560 Planars + Stereo Tube Head-Amp for $240 after coupon and $0.01+ filler item

This coupon expired, but most of the time the Monoprice coupons work on the M560 + Tube-Amp bundle. However, they rarely work on the M1060 and M560 on their own…

Monoprice Mini Headphone Amp for Guitar for $11 w/free S&H

These are eligible for the previously mentioned Monoprice coupon at the Monoprice website but they don’t get free shipping, so they end up costing more than if you buy them from Amazon, where the Monoprice store offers them with free shipping. Go figure 🙂

There are two models, both sold by Monoprice with free shipping but not Prime eligible. It is the Monoprice 611502 Mini Headphone Amplifier for Guitar going for $11, while the Monoprice 611500 Mini Headphone Amplifier for Guitar going for $12. Between them they have almost 100 customer reviews.

[DEAD] Monday: Monoprice M560 Planars + Tube Head Amp drop to $240 with Coupon AND $0.01+ filler item

This particular coupon expired, but the “20% off $300+” coupons are offered almost weekly at Monoprice. The only question is whether some of their hot headphones (Monoliths, Triple driver) will be coupon-eligible or not each time…

Monoprice Bluetooth Over-Ears PID 13893 for $40 + S&H

Monoprice has a headphone sale, an actual sale, not a coupon, their Bluetooth Over-Ears PID 13893 are on sale for $40 plus shipping. The lowest priced Monosaver Shipping appears to be $3.49 for my three test zipcodes (East coast, West coast, in-between). If you purchase any other items that qualify for free shipping, then the shipping fee of this will be reduced or even become zero, depending on whatever factors their computer uses to determine this 🙂

By looking at the pictures above, their earpads remind me a bit of the earpads of the Sennheiser HD 4.20S which are very comfy.

Speaking of Monoprice, their buzz-generating M1060 planar magnetics, revision 2 as dubbed by the interwebs, continues to remain in-stock for $300.

Monoprice 13191 Portable On-Ears for $12

These look visually very similar to the AmazonBasics On-Ears ($15 regular price), but they are Monoprice branded and they are on sale for $12 per pair, it is the closed-back on-ear folding Monoprice 13191 On-Ears in the black color scheme. They don’t get free shipping, but if your Monoprice order includes an item that gets free shipping, then they get free shipping too.

I’ve also seen this design in other brands as well, considering the price, it is a tastefully bassy portable model. I’ve only listened to the AmazonBasics model though, the rest is speculation assuming they share the same internals ~ which is a reasonable assumption given the price, fine-tuning the sound signature of a $15 headphone is probably cost prohibitive for rebranding purposes ~ since they are all in a similar price range.

Speaking of Monoprice, coupon MAY20 gets you 20% off a $300+ order today, but all the headphones I tried with the coupon today don’t work. Previously most headphones worked with the coupon, with the exception of the M1060 and M560 which never worked with any coupon I tried.

IN-STOCK AGAIN: Monoprice M1060 for $300

UPDATE 4/27/17 at 10:27am ET: remains in-stock for $300 at the Monoprice website
