Unlocked at Massdrop: trio of DAC/amps, stand, and Jaybirds

Let’s take a look at some of the recently launched offers at the members-only Massdrop website during the last week.

Used Sennheiser HD 229 On-Ears for $10.45 (was $11.56)

Sennheiser has a lot of headphones in their HD 2xx to 4xx product lines, and one of them is heavily discounted in “Used – Very Good” condition (damaged packaging) for just $10.45 [was $11.59; price updated 4/24/15] by Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD). This is by AWD actual, not marketplace sellers. The new condition price is $30. There’s only one listing, so it may (or may not) sell out quickly. These average 4.1 out of 5 based on 220+ customer reviews. This is the black/red color scheme, closed-back, single-side cable, no mic/remote. Prime membership gets you free 2-day delivery. Otherwise free S&H with a $35+ qualifying order.

I am tempted to get one for review/comparison purposes, but my review pipeline is already clogged up and the more I add, the more I procrastinate 🙂
