Tascam TH-2000X Studio Headphones for $30 w/FS [ends Wedn 8am ET]
The Musician’s Friend deal of the day (with the catchy name of “Stupid”) runs a bit different from most other retailers offering daily deals in that they do not run for a calendar day but rather for a 24 hour window that spans two calendar days.
So the Tuesday daily deal is good until Wednesday JAN-30-2019 at 8am eastern (or earlier if sold out) and it just happens to be a budget studio headphone, it is the new condition closed-back over-ear Tascam TH-2090X going for $30 with free shipping.
This is not a bad price for this, it is a variant of a studio headphone that goes under different names. I had one of the variations of the variants (not sure which, I think the CAD) and for this price, it’s definitely not a bad deal…
Wedn: Senal SMH-1200 studio headphones for $75

UK: Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO for 382, DT 1770 for 387 BP

The new condition open-back DT 1990 PRO is on sale for 382 UK pounds, while the closed-back DT 1770 PRO goes for around 387 British pounds (BP). These are sold and shipped by Amazon UK and are not lightning deals, so the sale will continue until it ends 🙂 These are 250 ohm headphones, so keep that in mind iPod Nano music listeners ^_^
EU: Shure SRH-440 Studio for 72 euro
It is not a surprise that some of the classic Beyerdynamic DT 7-8-9 headphones sell for less in Germany than in the US, since it is their home country. It is a bit of a surprise though that Shure, although German-sounding, are a Chicago-based USA company, yet their closed-back over-ear SRH-440 studio headphones sell for $100 in the US but they are on sale for just 72 euro by Amazon Germany itself.
I haven’t listened to these, but I listened to the SRH-240A. The 440s can still be found in some of the “$100 closed over-ear recommendation lists” but since then, other closed-back options around that price-range have surfaced [and with mic/remotes], so as always, be sure to research things to your satisfaction before committing to a purchase…
