Strategy session: lots of new Sennheiser headphones

If you were thinking of getting headphones from some of the existing Sennheiser product lines (Momentum, RS, or bluetooth/ANC), please note that at CES 2015, the company announced, among others, the second generation of their Momentums, new Bluetooth + NFC + ANC versions of Urbanites and Momentums, and a brand new RS-series lineup. As of the time of writing, these are not yet available for pre-order from the major online retailers but some can be ordered through the Sennheiser website at the wallet-lament MSRP prices. I am slowly putting together a list of the new headphones at CES 2015, but I am slightly behind 🙂

Used red Panasonic RP-HX35 On-Ears for $2.50

If you have an Amazon Prime membership, or you are planning to place an order of $35 or more over there, this may be a curiosity or experimentation little thing to add to your order, the red lightweight Panasonic RP-HX35-R on-ears are currently available in used condition for under $2.50 (!) at Amazon Warehouse Deals. Condition ranges from “Good” to “Like New” but the prices go from $2.36 to $2.49, so basically you can get the best available condition for only 13 cents more. These average 3 out of 5 based on 13 customer reviews. To summarize, let price set expectations 🙂

Philips SHP9500 over-ear open-back for $78

The Philips SHP9500 over-ear open-back headphones are currently fully unlocked for $78~ shipped at Massdrop, with about seven days left in this promotion. Keep in mind, most Massdrop items take a while to ship. This one has a February 10 estimated shipping date.

If you don’t want to buy from Massdrop, there’s another option, you can get them on eBay for about the same price from eBay seller “deallegend” (100%, 196, ships from California).

These have 50mm drivers, 32 ohm impedance, detachable single-side cable (no mic/remote). As you can see from the detailed pictures, these are open back. The giant L and R printed on the outer side of the earphones may turn some off, but one cannot argue that it’s hard to figure out left from right 😉

Refurbished Monster NCredible NTune On-Ears for $50

Monster’s own official eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Monster NCredible NTune On-Ears in either black or blue for $50 per pair, with free shipping, with a limit of five per shopper. This is a limited time offer (I don’t know the expiration date).
