The last few months, the good old Sony MDR-V6 were offered in the Amazon Gold Box in the $50s. I don’t know if or when that sale may return, but if you happen to need them right now and don’t mind used, they are going for $43 (was $36.50) [price updated 4/24/15] in “Used – Very Good” condition by Amazon Warehouse Deals. There are two listings there as of the time of writing, with the descriptions of the two being slightly different (one is in pristine packaging). These are a pretty solid pair of closed-back over-ear headphones for this price! And for hobbyists/enthusiasts, they are one of the influential models in history, so another reason to scoop one up. And for reviews/comparisoners (new word?), they can be a comparison benchmark of sorts.

PS: after spending some time checking prices at Amazon, I just posted this, along with six other potentially tempting Used offers found at Amazon Warehouse Deals. As usual with these, supplies can be more limited and prices more volatile, but that’s only a rule of thumb, you never really know for sure beforehand.
