Editor's note: this contest closed at noon ET on Monday, July 28.

Congratulations to Bart C. of Sherman Oaks, Calif., for winning 12 Cree LED light bulbs in last week's giveaway and to Shawn S. of Sewickley, Penn., for winning a prize pack from mobile-accessories maker Tech21 the week before that.

This week's winner gets a pair of Grado SR80e on-ear, open-back headphones, which "sound exceptionally good for $100 and are also comfortable to wear," according to David Carnoy's recent CNET review .

The 'phones are the next-gen version of Grado's SR80 Prestige Series and are easily among the best-sounding headphones you can get for less than $100, David says.
