I got sent a used copy even though I bought new; so YMMV.

I do not recommend buying from Adorama regardless of sale price. I received a used / open box Utopia 2022 from their July sale, even though the product page said it was new. It was a hastle to return and get my refund and required a bunch of calls to their customer service.

Prime Day's back again and it can sometimes be difficult to stay on top of everything, so like last time I'll compile all of the Amazon deals that we find into one post to keep things simple. If you guys spot anything like @ss2625 has with that awesome AirPods Pro 2 price (seriously, they're my go-to TWS because of the killer ANC and transparency localization), go ahead and post and tag me. I'll add it to the list and share who spotted the deal.

Again, feel free to tag me if you find a deal on the US Amazon and I'll add it to the list. More to come!

Amazon:
Sennheiser CX Plus TW Special Edition $79.95 Prime Deal. (Regular version $85.45)
Sennheiser HD-650 - $295 if you clip 10% off coupon. (Alas, was $269 earlier)

RIP that Amazon error <$100 HD600 earlier in the year. At these prices, I think most people would be better served with paying a bit more for 660S2 over the HD600 but that's pretty controversial depending on who you ask/reviews you watch. Just a newer more technical headphone with a more "fun" tuning that I also think scales higher than the older models when put on high end equipment.
IMO 660S2>660S > 600=650/6XX. The original 660S overall tone may not be as enjoyable as the OGs depending on song/equipment/preference, but it's also clearly a technical jump up (imaging, separation, detail). The 660s2 fixed the tone and bass to my ears.

Is it just me, or are the audio deals this Prime sale relatively limited and those on offer a little meh?

I have never once been impressed with a prime day. There might be a couple of decent deals and it's a good time to buy Amazon stuff like a fire stick or echo, but the majority of the "deals" are regular sale price, if not higher. The best deals, IMO, have always been away from Amazon with sites trying to compete with it, but that can be hit or miss, too.

See what you're saying but, fwiw, I've been 'lucky' over the years to find some solid deals for some things I need/want.

Yesterday I purchased a set of Shure Aonic 40s for $99 -- good sound signature for me, long battery life, solid ANC, etc. Used some loyalty credits to bring total cost to $89 including tax.

Track package

Shure AONIC 40 Over Ear Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones with Microphone, Studio-Quality Sound, 25 Hour Battery Life, Fingertip Controls, iPhone & Android Compatible - White
Sold by: Amazon.com Services LLC
$99.00

I am pretty sure last prime day the 660S2 could be gotten for $380 which was a pretty great deal.
