The Tascam TH-02 found themselves in some budget headphone recommendation lists and as it happens most of the time, a new model has arrived, it is the Tascam TH-03 (first time I’ve heard about it) and it is now in-stock and shipping for $25 with free shipping by Focus Camera directly or fulfilled by Amazon (Prime eligible), sold by aSavings, which is an online persona for Focus Camera.
It is marketed as a studio headphone, and indeed there are no consumer-y frills and accessories. You just get the 1/4″ adaptor. No mic/remote. Screenshot from Amazon listing below:
This offer expired… Good until Wednesday 11:59pm ET (or earlier if sold out) the blue color scheme of the closed-back over-ear Senal SMH-1200 studio headphones are on sale for $60 with FREE next day delivery. That’s right, free next day delivery (USA) is included. The other three color schemes are not on sale.
Another headphone offer has become “fully unlocked” (= lowest price under this offering) at the members-only but free-to-join shopping website that is Massdrop. It is the new condition GermanMAESTRO GMP 8.35 Mobile Headphones going for $150 with free shipping. These are rugged closed-back headphones with a detachable cable.
The offer runs for the next three days and change (from blog-posting date) and it is estimated to ship in mid-January from Massdrop, with all sales final. There is no mention of warranty on the product listing page.
PS: I’m guessing they are over-ears based on the pictures. The product listing does not say.

We have here a Text and Pictures Unboxing of the headphone. This has a long ass cable (that’s a technical term!).

It’s back on sale again, the semi-open over-ear unapologetically non-fashion studio-looking Samson SR-850 are going for $25 with free shipping (no minimum purchase required) at Adorama.com. No coupon, no rebate, just add to cart and proceed! As usual, this is a limited time sale.
If you are curious about these, we have a useful text and pictures unboxing post. They have a long-ass cable (that’s a technical term), which can be handy if you need it and annoying if you don’t. It’s nice to be tethered to a desktop computer while working but still have a few feet to move around without being worried of yanking the headphones off your head or off the headphone jack 🙂 The cable is non-detachable. There’s no mic/remote. The earpads are not the most comfy, but you can replace them, or make you own … out of socks. That’s one way to scare away other people from using your headphones 🙂

Amazon is returning to the gift card game, you can get the new condition Audio Technica M50X closed-back over-ears bundled with a $30 plastic Amazon Gift card in a gift-box (those can be handy during the holidays) for $129 with free shipping and handling.
Given how easy it is to spend a $30 gift card at Amazon on things you need/want, that’s like paying $99 for the headphones. Only the black color scheme is eligible for the gift card offer. In the rare occasion where the gift card arrives to your door before the M50x ships from an Amazon facility, you can use the value of the gift card towards the payment of the M50x. That’s because of how Amazon’s accounting splits bundle pricing to prevent return fraud.
Amazon’s price-match is over but the new condition closed-back over-ear Audio Technica ATH-M40x continue to go for $79 with free shipping at Guitar Center and Musician’s Friend.
This sale ended though: OR if you have eBAY gift cards or Bonus Bucks to spent, it is also available by the Musician’s Friend eBAY store for the same price.
This Cyber Monday sale expired…

The SRH 440 is down to $79, while the silvery SRH 940 is down to $249. Also down are the DJ-tagged SRH 750 DJ going for $99. Even the lesser known model of this line-up, the SRH 240A has a modest discount, going for $49 instead of $59.
The Shure SRH 840 are one of the “actual studio headphones”, closed-back over-ears with features one could use in a studio. And they are on sale at the moment at a variety of authorized and recognizable dealers, which suggests a manufacturer-initiated sale more likely than a price-match. They are currently going for $149 by various at Amazon and by B&H Photo and Musician’s Friend and various thru Walmart and Guitar Center and such.
UPDATE 11:13pm ET: it looks like the price was too right on this one, it is SOLD OUT as of this update and no longer available for purchase at this price…

Soundmagic’s new HP-151 closed-back over-ears, following up on the HP-150, currently go for $130 in new condition, sold by a couple of marketplace sellers at that price, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon.
But if you are a more adventurous shopper, you can get them in “Used – Acceptable” condition for $83 [WAS $90~] with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. No details are provided on the condition of this particular listing, so it’s a bit of a pig in a poke, but AWD offers a 30 day return policy in case of troubles or surprises ~ assuming you’ll have the time to put them through the paces during that time.
One of the no-frills closed-back over-ear studio headphones is the NVX XPT-100, and as of the time of writing, there are five units of them available in OPEN BOX condition for $50 with free shipping by Sonix Electronix on eBay.

The new condition closed-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 380 PRO headphones currently go for $130 at authorized dealers, but if you happen to also want to get the SLAPPA SL-HP-07 HardBody PRO Headphone Case with it, you can now get it for the same price of $130 with free shipping by “TheCameraBOX” with the orders fulfilled by Amazon.
The case on its own goes for $20 to $30 depending on which seller and what kind of shipping speed you want.
The new condition closed-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO headphones go for $600 at authorized dealers, but if you want to save some, you can almost cut its price in half by going “Used – Good” condition (repackaged; various cosmetic imperfections) for $336~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.
The above is the summary view. If you dig into the detailed used listings, you will also find a handful of “Used – Very Good” condition listintg for $357, and some “Used – Like New” for $379~.
So if you don’t need to have it on your ears yesterday, the waiting game may or may not get it to you for a better price. Amazon’s prices sometimes move in mysterious ways, so it’s often more of a YMMV than stock market pricing 🙂

The Sennheiser HD 280 closed-back over-ear headphones have a minor refresh but they have kept the HD 280 model name, without even adding a II to them. The so called “new model” is on sale, it is going for $80 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual. This is a sale, not a lightning deal.

This offer expired: Oh my! The new condition closed-back over-ear NAD VISO HP50 Studio Headphones on sale in the red or white color schemes for $149 by World Wide Stereo. The black color scheme is at the regular price.
World Wide Stereo is a real world B&M A/V dealer in PA.
The red color scheme is also offered for $149 by a marketplace seller (haven’t heard of them before) with the order fulfilled by Amazon where it averages 4.5 out of 5 based on 36 customer reviews. But the different colors are in separate listings at Amazon, so there are 100+ additional customer reviews in the other colors.
This go on a cyclical sale, the good old AKG K240 Semi-Open Over-Ear Studio Headphones, they are back down to $54 with free shipping at Amazon (Amazon actual and various others) and Musician’s Friend, Fry’s, and through Google Express (in case you have any promotions or gift cards there). Google Express is fulfilling them through Fry’s, so if you are not near a Fry’s, you probably won’t be able to get them at that price (unless you have other local/regional sellers that also offer it for the same price).
These are neo-iconic old school headphones, they average 4.4 out of 5 based on over 1000 customer reviews and have over 130 questions answered.
