We have a new WordPress template installed, hopefully this one will prove more helpful than all the previous ones. It is a responsive theme based on the Genesis framework, so there is flexibility for future upgrades and such. More adjustments and refinements will be made and I will add some hopefully useful deal-related links in the Sidebar for quick reference. For feedback, ideas, corrections and the like, please leave a comment or use the contact form.

Open-box Hifiman HE-400 for $260
If you are comfortable with open-box headphones, the HifiMan HE-400 planar-magnetic over-ears are offered for $260 with free shipping in open-box condition (instead of their new condition price of $300) by Razor Dog Audio eBay store. The description there says “store demo, less than 2 hours, 100% perfect”. The eBay’s quasi-haggling “Best Offer’ is not enable for this listing.
Used Sony MDR-7502 for $22.50
The Sony MDR-7502 (not to be confused with the more popular MDR-7506 (and MDR-V6 cousins)), are currently available in “Used – Very Good” condition for $22.50 by Amazon Warehouse Deals, but that’s not the whole story. There are many listings at this time, which means that if they don’t move fast enough, their prices may drop even further (this is only a rule of thumb, not a guarantee). They average 3.8 out of 5 based on 56 customer reviews.
LyxPro HAS-10 Over-Ears for $40
For the curious and the adventurous, the LyxPro HAS-10 headphones are currently going for $40 with free shipping by DB Roth with the order fulfilled by Amazon. These are closed-back over-ears with 45mm drivers, advertised as mixing headphones, with single-entry cable. They average 4.8 out of 5 based on 16 customer reviews (only 5-star and 4-star reviews).
Used Sennheiser HD280 for $51 [updated]
The closed-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 280 studio headphones are currently available in “Used – Like New” condition for $46 plus $5.50 flat shipping by Adgtron thru Amazon. These ship from Adgtron so they are not eligible for Prime free 2-day shipping benefits. The new condition price is around $83 at the moment. The refurbished option sold out.
Panasonic RP-HT227 On-Ears for $10
On the $10 on-ears front, especially if you are a Prime member or planning a $35+ order, the Panasonic RP-HT227 On-Ears with in-cord volume control are going for $10 per pair, with a limit of five pairs per customer at Amazon. They average 3.8 out of 5 based on 330+ customer reviews. The price should be setting expectations obviously.
Audio Technica ATH-M70x with Presonus Ceres C4.5BT for $300
If you are not dissuaded from the Audio Technica ATH-M70x by the reviews and forum debates, there is a nice bundle for them at Adorama, they are offering the headphones plus PreSonus speakers (PreSonus Ceres C4.5BT Two-Way 4.5″ Powered Studio Speaker with Bluetooth), together for $300 with free shipping. Just add it to the shopping cart and proceed. No coupons, no rebates needed. Offer ends 5/30/15 or earlier if they happen to sell out.
