we find good deals for you!
As of a 3/24/18 AM recheck, this sold out…
Our Amazon Warehouse Deals adventures continue with another modest hype train headphone. The open-back Status Audio OB-1 are now available in “Used – Good” condition for $39 with free shipping, sold by the Status Audio Amazon store with the orders fulfilled by Amazon (Prime eligible) through Amazon Warehouse Deals.
Not sure what happened to their new condition inventory. Maybe the hype train ate it all? 🙂
This lightning deal expired… Good until 8pm eastern tonight, a lightning deal at Amazon has the new condition closed-back over-ear Status Audio CB-1 going for $49 with free shipping, sold by the Status Audio store with the order fulfilled by Amazon.
The closed back Status Audio CB-1 over-ears go for $59 in new condition but if you want to save some, the Status Audio Amazon store has a trio of Used Listings at Amazon Warehouse Deals going for $40 (Used Good) or $44 (Used Very Good) or $49 (Used Like New). These are fulfilled by Amazon, thus Prime eligible.
The open-back sister model, the OB-1, are currently un-orderable at Amazon, eg when you search for them, they don’t show up in the search results. The product listing is not pulled though, it remains there on their website, but it won’t show up with an Amazon product search. Kinda annoying if you are trying to read reviews and comments about it.
The duo of Status Audio over-ear headphones are currently available as follows at Amazon: the new condition closed-back CB1 goes for $59 with free shipping (Prime eligible). They are sold by the Status Audio Amazon store, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, thus the Prime eligibility.
As of 1/16/18, the open-back is sold out: while the open-back OB-1 is available in “Used – Good” condition for $39 with free shipping through Amazon Warehouse Deals.
Speaking of Status Audio, they revealed one new headphone at CES 2018, the BT One, an unapologetically V-shaped closed on-ear bluetooth headphone with a starting price of $99. I just added it to our on-going Headphones of 2018 tracker. I will continue to add new headphones as I find them (and find time to add them) for the next couple of weeks 🙂

You can buy as many as there are available. These are new condition. The 50% off in-cart promotion expired, but this is an even lower price (it was $22 with the in-cart promotion).

And now an update on the Status HD Audio Closed-Back On-Ears we mentioned last week. The 50% off in-cart sale continues, however, since then, the used condition has sold out. Of the new condition, one of the three colors also sold out (the red), but the other two colors, “Jet Black” and “Black with red” continue to be available with a 50% off in-cart discount, going from $44 to $22. The discount only works when “Status Audio” is the seller, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon. These average 4.3 out of 5 based on 730+ customer reviews, and have over one hundred peer-answered questions.
PS: since the sale continues, if Amazon Warehouse Deals gets additional used inventory, they should be eligible for half off, as long as “Status Audio” fulfilled by Amazon is the actual seller. Other sellers are not participating in the half off.
In addition to the previously mentioned new condition Status Audio HD One Closed-Back On-Ears being half off by Status Audio through Amazon, their used inventory is apparently half-off as well.

These lightning deals expired but fear not, Status Audio is a bit of a recurring guest at the lightning deals. But this is the first time I recall seeing KZ as a lightning deal. The future will tell whether there will be more 🙂
Party’s over for now. As of a 6/11/17 PM recheck, the used options for $29 are sold out and no longer available… Meanwhile the new condition goes for $55 and was a lightning deal earlier in the week for $50…

This 6-hour lighting deal expired, but the used options remains, m in “Used – Good” condition for $39 with free shipping through Amazon Warehouse Deals…
If you don’t want to wait and deal with Massdrop slow-shipping and no-returns, you can get the buzz-generating closed-back Status Audio CB-1 in “Used – Good” condition for $49 with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. There is no further description of their condition. The hype train is helping their review average of 4.8 out of 5 based on 260+ customer reviews.
Another hype train headphone has gotten fully unlocked at Massdrop, it is the closed-back Status Audio CB-1 with detachable cables going for $55 plus shipping. It has detachable cables and comes with two of them included in the box. The offer runs for the next five days and only 300 units are available. The shipping estimate is mid-June 2017.
This 4-hour lightning deal ended with 73% claimed… If you missed it, there’s always a chance it will return because a lot of the lightning deals have some kind of a recurring pattern (or randomness in their return)…
Status Audio is another one of the brands riding the hype train, with both open and closed headphones sitting side by side on said train. The closed version are currently offered at the members-only but free-to-join Massdrop for $55 plus shipping. The offer runs for the next seven days and it is estimated to ship early May 2017. This too is an “all sales final” offer.
If you don’t want to wait or you are not fond of the Massdrop way of doing things, Status Audio has also set up shop at Amazon with the four headphones they offer fulfilled by Amazon, so you get free 2-day shipping if you are a Prime member. The Amazon price is $79 with free shipping for either the open or closed models.
In the case of the Status Audio HD One folding closed-back over/on-ear headphones, going used gets them to you for less than half the price of new condition. There are available for three colors, and at the lowest condition, used prices start at $20 for “Used – Acceptable” at Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD). This link shows the lowest price per color.
To see more per color, click on the “See all offers for this product” next to each color-scheme’s name. The lowest “Used – Good” price is $25, the lowest “Used – Very Good” is $30. Some of them are available from AWD actual, others are offered by Status Audio themselves with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so both options are Prime eligible.
These average 4.4 out of 5 based on 600+ customer reviews. They have detachable cables.
PS: I use the term “Over/On” if I can’t quickly or easily tell deterministically whether a headphone is actually over-ear or on-ear.
