15% off sitewide at Rakuten with code SAVE15
I didn't spend a lot of time looking, but I ran across what seem to be good prices on a few Audio-Technica headphones.

ATH-AD900x:
Regularly $128, $109 after discount
$144.99 at Amazon

ATH-M50x- Reg. $129 ($145 at Amazon) $109.65 after discount

ATH-M40X- Reg. $79.00 ($79 at Amazon) $67.15 after discount

ATH-AD700x- Reg. $99.72 ($105 at Amazon) $84.77 after discount

20% off sitewide on first purchase at Google Express with code APRILSAVE19

The same marketplace seller who is selling the AD700x and AD900x through Rakuten is also selling them through Google Express.

Lots of decently priced Beyers, including the Beyerdynamic DT1990 with a case and headphone stand for $449:

Thanks, pthora. I'm ignorant of what is and isn't a good price for some of this stuff, and I'm lagging today, lol. I also forgot to mention that the Rakuten sale lasts until 4/9/19 at 11:59PM Pacific Time, and the Google Express promotion ends on 4/28.

No worries! I would have missed the Audiotechnica stuff. And, I'm sure someone else will find something good I missed. That's why it's always good to get some extra eyes on these big site-wide sales. Thanks for posting the deal!

Jump on that HEX v2 ASAP. It's one of my favorite headphones.


Whew! Glad it says "sold out"....I was about to do an impulse buy!

Well I spoke too soon. There is an issue with my order so they might be going back.

Whew! Glad it says "sold out"....I was about to do an impulse buy!

In reference to the HEX v2 open box deal from Audio46, I'm the lucky one that made that impulse buy! However, as I mentioned above, when the HEX v2 arrived, I discovered an issue with them the next day. Yes, they sounded great, but I realized I was actually sent a v1, not the v2 that was advertised. After contacting Audio46, they apologized for the error and offered to pay return shipping and give a full refund or give me a $300 partial refund if I wanted to keep the v1. They sadly could not offer me a replacement v2 because they didn't have any and can no longer order one from Hifiman. I decided to keep the v1 and purchase the improved v2 pads, which from my research, should make them sound like a v2. I wish they weren't $79, but it sounds like they are worth the upgrade.

New
Plantronics BackBeat Go 3

On eBay for $14.99

Says open box, but also says they’ve sold over 2500 of them, so that would be a lot of open boxes! More likely liquidating inventory, but don’t want to compete with the channel sales. I own a pair. Good for the gym. I like my senn’s more, but at this price, bought two more pair.

PSB M4U-1 (red color) for sale on Amazon for $106. Go to amazon.com and type in "M4U-1 Red" and it should come up. Really cheap price for a very neutral sounding headphone. Only red color available at this price.
Nice price, but lots of 1 star reviews complaining about headband cracking and not covered by warranty.

I think that is why they are on sale for such a ridiculously low price. You'll have to be careful with them. Everybody seems to like the naturalness of the sound.

f you are a bit resourceful and practical you can buy a replacement headband for around $20.00 made by a 3D printer. Here is the webpage:

I had one made by Print a Thing and am waiting for it to arrive.
