Busy week, here's some things I got in this week that was a win.

The open box sale is good too, but depends on your country for availability on those.
KZ x HBB PR2 $31 plus $1.93 and 1 percent off
I just got a pair of these in and they're between the Hifiman HE4xx and HE5xx in sound profile and quality. They take just as much power to drive them though (A30Pro in medium gain at 2 oclock to get them loud, you need to give them the beans/current for them to sound great but it's worth it). There's a lot of planar magnetic headphones I won't buy after hearing these.
Pyle Portable CD Player Bluetooth Boombox Speaker $19.99
I just got one of these to replace a clock radio that played MP3's and it's a good value. It doesn't support FLAC but I converted mine to MP3 just to have something to play in the other room. It sounds good on flat EQ but the headphone jack is useless as the noise floor on it is too loud on the jack. Over 5 volume it's not noticeable. MP3 playback has a random setting so good for tossing in a garage. Also it's got a battery option which is great for hurricane season down here.
I only get the Dukabel Topseries 6.35mm adapters after getting too many cheap gold plated ones jamming 50 percent of the time. Just ordered one, and they have a special where you get a free IEM with purchase of an adapter.
The USB IEM's they give with it is here:
I have pair coming in today with an adapter I was going to get anyway. It'll probably be just good for phone/zoom calls, but I love free stuff. It's a 24 bit 96khz DAC on it, we'll see.
