we find good deals for you!
Monoprice offers their new condition M300 planar-magnetic in-ears for $150, but if you are comfortable with buying open-box, they are offering them in open-box condition for $100 plus shipping.
If you purchase them together with other things that come with free shipping, it will likely lower or in some cases zero out their shipping fee. The Monoprice shipping fees work in mysterious ways.
We mentioned earlier the iFi + Beyerdynamic combo, now we have a different iFi combo at BuyDIG! Using coupon code LISTENUP you can get the iFi Micro iDSD Black Label Headphone Amp with the HIFIMAN HE-400i Special Edition planar-magnatic over-ears for $549 with free shipping until 1/10/18 or earlier if sold out.

The Hifiman HE560 planar magnetics are available in open-box “Used – Like New” condition from authorized dealer Hifi Heaven from Wisconsin through Amazon Warehouse Deals. They also offer free phone and email support. These are open-back, so you cannot only hear but also smell the famous diary air(e)!
This sold out during the Black Friday festivities, but as of the time of writing, it is back in-stock and ready to ship! “It” refers to these Audeze On-Ear planar magnetic lightning-connector headphones, their new condition AUDEZE SINE On-Ear with 24-bit Cipher Cable going for $200 with free shipping at authorized dealer Adorama!

More planar discounting action, this time it is the new condition Hifiman HE-560 dropping to $400 with free shipping, sold and shipped by Electronics Expo through Amazon. If you are a Prime member, you will get upgraded to faster Prime-like shipping, even though they ship directly from Electronics Expo. This is not a lightning deal.

This offer is only offered through the official Hifman store directly because it is too complicated to structure on Amazon and eBAY and such. You get the Hifiman HE5 planar magnetic headphones AND the Hifiman EF-100 amp for $599. However, they won’t ship together. The EF100 will ship shortly after ordering, but the HE5 headphones will ship in December (no specific date or range in December mentioned). So if you are not in a hurry to receive them, pretend it’s Massdrop 🙂
This one got lost in the shuffle when I posted the previous Hifiman deals, it is the new condition Hifiman Edition X V2 down to $1200 with free shipping by various sellers thru Amazon and by the official Hifiman and World Wide Stereo stores on eBAY. These too are planar magnetic, over-ear, over-the-universe headphones 🙂
The popularity of planar-magnetic headphones continues to rise, and so do the available options and alternatives in the market, which means more discounting! Earlier today the Monoprice M560 open/closed dropped to $150 but we have another discount…

Look at who’s making their Stacksocial debut with a launch discount? Audeze! Their new condition iSine 10 Planar In-Ears with the Lightning + Standard cable for $320 with free shipping instead of the regular price of $400. Only the Lightning version is on sale. The regular version remains at $280. So for $40 more you get the flexibility of using it with latest iPhones, iPads (3rd gen iPad was the last with a 30-pin) and iPods (4th generation iPod Touch was the last one with a 30-pin).
No coupon is needed, but if you have any of those or store credits you may be able to use them towards the purchase. I don’t have any to test it.
Speaking of Stacksocial, they are offering the new condition Sphereo X2 Speakers for $30.
The Hifiman HE-400i planar-magnetic headphones were released prior to the HE-400S. But they both settled in an overlapping price range the last few weeks.
