They're 50$ on Amazon, not too steep of a discount like the post suggests

That post refers to how Slickdeals sometimes embellishes the value to say these are $150 headphones in this post, for example. It's true, if you go by only this post it's misleading and you think you're getting a truly exceptional deal when in actuality it's meh.

I remember years ago when anything appeared on front page, you just bought now and think later because they were all genuine bargains to meet the threshold for being front page worthy. Not anymore.

Quote from Ananke :
I have a pair of these, black, from some Samsung deal couple years ago. These are solid high quality long lasting headphones. They are "on ears" and after some time may hurt (I have large head). But I think these are great deal, quality sound, long lasting. I used them to watch movies on my iPad Air.
These days I use chi-fi with a DAC cable, just because I like to experiment with a quality sound, but for wireless for $30 this is a deal. For reference, I have dozens of headphones, including some models that are a grand each, 6,8-balanced armature, etc. etc.
Pretty sure you have the AKG-Y50BT that I also got from an S8 promo.
This is the Y500 which is much smaller and lighter. I use the Y50BT which now has a terrible battery life. (maybe 2-2.5 hours max) I bought this Y500 on eBay for the same $30 and gave to kids. It fits them perfectly but for myself I feel Y500 is a bit on the smaller side. On the other hand since it is lighter so it may not hurt like the Y50 does after a while.

Yep, you are right, I have the Y50BT. I removed my previous comment.

I've never used them but remember seeing this very positive review for the price:

Probably worth a shot for $30

Won't be buying from them as the last time this deal came up they placed my order and didn't send it for a month. Took me calling them to say it was out of stock and couldn't be fulfilled. They even charged my card before shipping it

Yes, it has a mic. By your name, I am assuming you are an accountant?

Can't comment on the sound really as I haven't used them but it seems reviewers give it about 4/5. What bothers me though is that (according to reviewers) there is a shockingly loud beep when it connects/disconnects and on notifications. That in itself spoils the deal for me even if the sound is excellent.
Great to know, thanks. I'd had some no-name headphones that sounded fine, but had voice notifications (including one when the battery was low) that could not be disabled or turned down and were so loud they almost hurt my ears. Definitely a dealbreaker for me, so thanks for pointing it out.

It appears that in order to use the mic you need to connect it to the cable that came with it. It doesn't seem to have a stand-alone built in mic. Someone was comparing on a review that they were upset they needed to connect the cable in order to make or receive calls. Might want to check that out before buying. That alone is a deal breaker for me.
