we find good deals for you!
If you are sure you are interested in Shure IEMs [#badpuns] of the used kind, Adorama is offering the Shure SE535 Clear IEMs in “Used – Demo” condition for $344 plus shipping which is under $10 since IEMs don’t take a lot of space and don’t weigh much, making shipping less costly.
PS: this is a different listing from the one posted last week, which was the Melisandre-red limited edition.
As of a late 4/3/17 re-check, this sold out and is no longer available (used quantities are typically very limited, often times it might be just once unit)…
To the IEMs we go, with a color that may please Melisandre, the Shure SE535 Limited edition in the red color scheme are available in “Used – Demo condition” for $369 plus shipping (around $10, varies by zipcode) by Adorama.com.
If you want both the Westone Bluetooth Cable (powered Bluetooth 4.0 cable, goes for $150 on its own) AND the Shure SE-215 in-ears (go for $100 on their own), you can get them bundled together for $200 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo in two of the SE-215 color bundles, the Clear color scheme or the Black color scheme.
Speaking of Westone, their UM3X 3-Way Universal Fit In-Ears continue to be on sale for $250 with free shipping.

The new condition Shure SE 315 in-ears are currently offered up at Massdrop for $170 plus $4~ flat shipping for the next seven days. The orders will ship early April 2017 from (the unspecified) vendor. There is no mention of warranty in the listing. Massdrop really needs to pay more attention to warranty details, so customers can make informed decisions (it will actually increase sales).
On the other hand, if you are comfortable with used products, you can get them in “Used – Acceptable” condition (various cosmetic imperfections on item and accessories, missing “earbud cove/pad”, repackaged) for $131~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals.

You can enter your zipcode (you don’t have to login or sign-up) to see more specific shipping costs. These are lightweight enough that they can ship them for under $4 probably on most if not all of the 48.

We now have a Shure trilogy of posts, starting with the utilitarian, the Shure HPAEC840 replacement earpads are on sale, in new condition, for $12 per set, at Amazon by Amazon actual. These are made for the SRH840.
Check reviews and answered-questions to see what other headphones they fit. Pay attention however to look at reviews and answers pertaining to this particular model. A soccer team of earpads (eleven different models) are on the same product page and share the same reviews pool and answers, so make sure you are reading the entries for the correct model. This is a pre-filtered list of reviews for the HPAEC840 (about half of the 400+ reviews posted there).
In addition to these being a recommended upgrade for the SRH440, customers there are also liking them with the M50/M50x, Koss DJ100, ATH PRO 700 II, Fostex T?0RP, Sony V6/MDR-7506, etc. About 1/3rd of the reviews are about these pads on the Audio Technica M50/M50x/M* headphones 🙂 Keep in mind, these are user recommendations/reviews, there is always a YMMV component to this as reviews don’t always explain their personal preferences and pet peeves and sometimes they forget to mention any DIY work that may be needed.
This is not a lightning deal, so the sale continues until it stops. The limit is the usual up to 30 per order per customer.
PS: this next item is not on sale, but I’ve had it in bags and backpacks or storing headphones one way or another for 3.5 years and it still looks very solid (I need to post a review for it – eg do a headphone modeling/fitting session), it is the Shure HPACP1 Headphone Carrying Pouch (with drawstring) for $5. It won’t protect from impact, it’s just a pouch, but it will keep dust and scratches away. The logo is sinking in the material, so it’s not obnoxious.
In addition to their in-ears, Shure has also discounted some of the over-ear studio headphones, at participating authorized dealers, including:
As usual, you can find these for less in used or refurbished condition or from less than A-list sellers, so be sure to make a purchase depending on your risk matrix.
Shure has initiated some sales of some of their in-ears at participating authorized dealers, including the following models:
The open-back over-ear Shure SRH 1440 are available in “Used – Acceptable” condition with multiple cosmetic imperfections and in damaged original packaging for $185~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. Considering the rating and description, this is perhaps for higher-risk and/or less-perfectionist shoppers. The new condition price is $300.
PS: remember the even numbers of the 4-digit models are open-back (1440, 1840), while the odd numbers (1540) are closed.
For a limited time only, Adorama.com is offering the new condition Shure SE 215 in-ears for $74 with free shipping after you enter coupon code 1OLYMPICS1 in celebration of the 2016 Olympics. The clear SE 215s are in-stock and ready to ship right away, while the black SE 215s are back-ordered, but you can still place the order if you like this couponized price.
The closed-back over-ear Shure SRH 940 with their shiny silveriness are available in “Used – Like New” condition for $180 by seller “AC Gears” with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so it is Prime-eligible. Next step in price/condition is a refurbished listing for $199 by seller Fique (ships directly from them, no Prime).
Most of the bundles are over/on-ears and DAC/amps/DAPs, but this time around we have an in-ear headphone, the good old Shure SE-215 bundled with the iFi Nano-iDSD USB DAC/amp, together for $200 with free shipping from authorized dealer Adorama.com until 8/11/16. The color of the iFi is the same in each bundle, but there are two colors of the SE-215 available, either the black SE215 + iFi or the clear SE215 + iFi.
You don’t have to have a Shure SRH940 to use these earpads, they fit a number of other headphones as well, see reviews and answered-questions there or use your favorite search engine. They are the Shure HPAEC940 velour earpads and they are on sale for $16.66 at amazon.com with the usual free shipping terms. Use the search boxes for the reviews and Q&A for your headphones of interest to see what other people found out.
As of 8/9/16 recheck, this sold out at this price… The open-back over-ear Shure SRH 1840 are currently available in “Used – Like New” condition for $315~ plus $11 flat shipping by seller “World Class Inc” (99%, 80K+ ratings) through Amazon Warehouse Deals. This is not Prime-eligible, it ships directly from the seller, so it is a higher risk transaction.
This six-hour time lord took this one too… One of the most famous perhaps headphones among the ones in the Prime Days schedule has a limited time offer that went live, it is the Shure SE-215 In-Ears in the Clear color-scheme bundled with a $20 Amazon Gift Card for $99 with free shipping. The typical price for the SE-215 without the gift card is $99 at authorized dealers in new condition. Offer ends by 3pm ET or earlier if sold out.
Good news and bad news. The bad news is that the price is slightly higher since we last mentioned it. The good news is that it has been liberated from the Add-On Program, so if you only want to get this and nothing else, and you are a Prime member, you get it and with free shipping and no other purchase necessary.
This refers to the Shure HPACP1 Headphone Carrying Pouch. It has a limit of 30 per customer. This is an item flying under the radar, it’s hard to find by searching at Amazon for some reason. I’ve been using it for many years and it’s pretty solid. It’s on my list of things to review.
It is made to fit Shure’s closed over-ears line-up of 840/440/240 and 750/550 DJ, so headphones of that ballpark size should fit.
It should go without saying that this won’t protect from impact, but from scratches, dust, dirt, liquids (if they avoid the bag’s opening), and such.
The closed-back over-ear Shure SRH440 that stubbornly goes for $100 in new condition at authorized dealers is available in “Used – Like New” condition, with the detailed description stating “Mint Condition, Display Model” for $79 with free shipping by Musical Supply Direct (MSD, 97%) through Amazon Warehouse Deals. This ships directly from MSD, so it is not Prim eligible.
