Monday: Anker Soundcore Life U2 Neckband bluetooth earphones for $19 + S&H

Mondays are Anker days at the Meh daily deals? Mayhaps, because for Monday 3/14/22 their offer is the new condition Anker Soundcore Life U2 Neckband bluetooth earphones for $19 plus shipping (free S&H for paying Meh members). These promise up to 24 hours battery life. They also promise 2 hours of playback with 5 minutes of USB-C charging. They are IPX7 and come with an 18-month Anker warranty.

Note that the listing does not mention which bluetooth version is this. Me personally, at this point in time, I avoid everything before Bluetooth 5.0. Bluetooth kerfuffles are a lot more common before 5.0. Then again, this is $19 🙂

The reason you are seeing an increase in new headphones is because this week, in Berlin::Germany, the IFA 2017 high tech trade show is happening. I am keeping an on-going tracking posts that summarizes the New Headphones of IFA 2017.

Refurbished Klipsch X12 bluetooth neckband earphones for $139

They look a bit like a prop from a futuristic movie recorded in the past, but they actually play music, they are the manufacturer refurbished Klipsch X12 Bluetooth Neckband earphones offered for $139 with free shipping by BuyDig’s eBay store. Limit five units per customer during this promotion. They are balanced armature and support AAC and aptX.

PS: keep in mind, when it comes to bluetooth, the protocol between your music source and your headphones is the highest common denominator between the two. Your phone may support apt-X HD and LDAC and Bluetooth 5.0 and Unicorn MQA Quad-HD DSD but if your headphone only supports Bluetooth 2.1, that’s what you will connect with.
