Has there ever been a sale or price error on the Sony WH-1000XM3s?
Hoping to grab them in Canada but not at MSRP.

I had been looking out for these for awhile too ever since I gave up my M2s to my wife. I just recently bought a refurb pair off of a reseller (Secondipity) on Rakuten along with a 20% off coupon. Normal refurb price is $299. With coupon, it brought down to $239 (free shipping) which seemed more reasonable. I'm in California, so I also had to pay sales tax. I'm used to refurbs looking like new in box, but my refurb came without any of the original packaging...just the case, the HPs, and cables. Functionally and cosmetically, everything is otherwise perfect.

For the record, I've received nothing but great refurbished product from Secondipity. Over the last three years, I've purchased Sony MDR-1000x, MDR-Z7 headphones and a Sony A6500 camera and all have been like new. They've always shipped quickly. I've never had to deal with customer service for returns or issues however.
Just FYI, the Clear Pro is still available from Adorama for $999 -- see link a couple pages back.
They had a sale on ebay once for $240 with a $40 visa gift card if I remember correctly.Has there ever been a sale or price error on the Sony WH-1000XM3s?

Google announced today that its Chromecast Audio device is being discontinued.
I feel a bit like I did when Logitech shut Squeezebox down. There are certainly a lot more options now....but audio out jacks are rare in the Google Assistant/Smart Speaker environment...and the CCA's Toslink optical outputs are almost unique.
For those who want one before they are gone Google and others are closing them out at $15.
NOTE: Google Charges for shipping below $35, but is also selling direct on eBay for $15 each, no shipping charges.
Thanks to RKW on Head-fi's CCA thread for the heads-up.

There is no “app” per se but rather a protocol like Airplay. As long as they support the protocol on the regular A/V Chromecast, you should be alright to use this.Will these work without the app? Because I imagine they would abandon that next.

Also, does it have mics in it where it will be spying on all of my conversations? Google likes to do that sort of thing.
Sorry if it’s dumb questions. I don’t really know too much about the chromecast audio product.
People are hooking them directly to ethernet cable and using digital optical out to dac. This removes compression and is supposed to sound comparable to $500 endpoints. A ~$15 UGreen ethernet adapter is required. The adapter hasIn what ways can you utilize the chromecast?

My Chromecast Audio is connected on optical Toslink to my DAC on the stereo system at home. I use it as a convenient way to cast wireless audio from my phone in high quality. I can cast Spotify, Tidal and many other apps from my phone at full digital resolution without getting on the computer and sending it out on USB audio. So for me it's a wireless convenience like using Bluetooth, but in much higher quality.In what ways can you utilize the chromecast?
