Xiaomi Fan Festival sale includes five headphones

GearBest is running a Xiaomi Fan Festival sale, and they have five headphone options under the “Top Electronics” category [there’s no method to directly link to that category ~ just page down until you find it]. There’s usually a nearly-free shipping option, sometimes registered-mail sometimes unregistered.

The options are:

+ Xiaomi PRO HD (QTEJ02JY) in-ears for $28
+ Xiaomi QTEJ03JY hybrid dual drivers for $20

Used Xiaomi Piston Fits In-Ears for $12 [Prime eligible]

If you don’t want to wait for weeks for these to get to you from China, especially if you are a Prime member, the Xiaomi Piston Fit in-ears are available for around $12 in used condition through Amazon Warehouse Deals. This link shows the lowest price per color/option. Click on the “See all offers for this product” to see the detailed listings per color/option.

Of the summary link above, the rose-gold is the best bet for $12.06 as it is “Used – Like New” (damaged original packaging) or the silver in similar condition for $13.25. This seems to suggest it’s just imperfect packaging. The black color scheme for $11.69 on the other hand is “Used – Good” (will come repackaged) which suggests a higher risk (opened already, mayhaps used, and such).

The new condition price is $20 (Prime eligible).
