Wedn: Senal SMH-1000 Closed Over-Ears for $45 w/FS [also: Sony 1000X M3 and more]

If you want a studio headphone for under $50 with actual studio headphone physical features (detachable cable, replaceable earpads, folding, straight and coiled cable, 3-year warranty), the new condition closed-back over-ear Senal SHM-1000 are on sale for $45 with free US shipping until 11:59pm eastern (or earlier if sold out) on Wednesday 5/13/20 at B&H Photo as one of their deals of the day…

As of the time of writing they average 4.5 out of 5 based on 277 customer reviews and they have 60 answered questions… Think of a modern version of the good old Sony MDR-V6 and 7506…

UPDATE: at the Best Buy deals du jour, they offer the new condition PowerBeats 3 bluetooth earphones for $80 on clearance, in the white color scheme…

UPDATE #2: at the NewEgg daily deals they have the new condition closed-back over-ear Sony WH-1000X Mark III (M3) headphones on sale for $238 with free shipping. Judging by the seller (Red Tag Camera) this is like the international model, not the blessed-by-Sony-USA model with a warranty…

The year is 2020, it would have been NICE if the online retailers figured out a way to clearly MARK grey-market items and list the warranty. They’ve turned everything else about selling into a science [just look at all those over-stuffed product pages with all kinds of ads, recommendations, buy-together offers and such]…
