Master "deals" (massdrop, ebay, Amazon, etc.) Thread on Audio Product Sales

The directivity of the 807 Erin reviewed didn't seem terrible. Definitely some issues around 400-500hz (port resonance??) and then what seems to be the crossover area around 3,000hz. Outside of that though, fairly flat and/or a fairly constant rise. I've definitely seen worse directivity from speakers you and others have measured.

That speaker is garbage, man. Garbage.

Directivity aside, to smooth out the on-axis response you'll need to cut 100Hz by about 5dB with a pretty wide Q (which will effect the LF as well) and probably still need a shelf filter below 200Hz. Then you'll need a good shelf >500Hz. And once you've done that (assuming it's reasonably linear) you're at about 80dB @ 2.83v/1m. Bleh.

I've sung the praises of these headphones calling them the best $50 I've ever spent. Now they are $29 at Amazon ....

They sound great, work great, feel great.

Looks super uncomfortable

Lots of reviews available in addition to LightningBoy's rec. Nearly all of them say they are very comfortable for an on ear.

As on-ear's are mostly travel phones I expect the fact they do not fold would be a more common complaint. LightningBoy is right, its a very good price and most of the reviews are quite positive...which is not true for most Skullcandy products.

For Canadians:
Avshop.ca is having Boxing Week sale.
Everything is 10% off, until Dec 31.
Discount is applied in shopping cart.
This matches the previous Black Friday’s 10%-off sale.

Link to studio monitors.
Genelec studio monitors are 10% off. **UPDATE: MusicCity deal below is 15%, which is a better deal than Avshop**

 

[sweetchaos]

For Canadians:
Musiccitycanada.com started their Boxing Week sale. Up to 15% off, until Dec 31. My prediction came true. Discount is auto-applied, no need for coupons. This matches the previous Black Friday’s 15%-off sale.

They only charge 5% tax with free shipping for people who live outside of Ontario.

Link to studio monitors.
Genelec studio monitors are 10% off!
Ex. Genelec 8030 is $700-$70=$630, before tax.

Caution: It looks like a glitch is on their website right now, and it's only auto-calculating 10% off, not 15% as the advertised promo...I've emailed tech support already!
UPDATE:
Their response was "Sale prices are up to 15% off regular price, and it's dependent on the brand".
Ouch, so Genelecs didn't get the 15% discount.
Well, that's highly disappointing...MusicCity had 15% off Genelecs on Black Friday sale, but now has only 10% during Boxing week sale!
