we find good deals for you!
The Onkyo ES FC300 Closed-Back On-Ears are currently available in “Used – Good” condition for around $63 by Amazon Warehouse Deals, while the “Used – Very Good” goes for $67. These currently go for $150 in new condition at the reliable retailers.
NOTE: Onkyo has a rather confusing model naming scheme. The On-Ears are the ES-FC300, not to be confused with the IE-FC300 which are in-ears.

Flagship action! Hide your wallets, cut off the internet cable! The Hifiman HE-1000 flagship over-ear planar-magnetic headphones are now in-stock and shipping for their very flagship price of $3000 by Hifiman through Amazon. They ship from Hifiman, so they are not eligible for Prime shipping benefits. Check forums and audiophile websites for more details on these.
On the budget on-ears front, the Able Planet SH190 Traveler’s Choice on-ears (no active noise cancelling crap) are available in multiple colors for $10 per pair at the Staples website as part of their online weekly deals. You get free shipping if you are a Staples Rewards member. If not, everyone gets free shipping to a local store.
These look physically similar to the AmazonBasics On-Ears but I haven’t listened to them side-by-side. Unlike other Able Planet headphones, these have a promising review profile at amazon.com, they average 4.3 out of 5 based on 32 customer reviews.

We have a trio of used sub-$26 headphones now, starting with the Philips SHE5105BK/28 CitiScape Downtown Headphones in the grey-white color scheme going for $16.67 in the “Used – Good” condition by Amazon Warehouse Deals. They average 4 out of 5 based on 150+ customer reviews.
If you are looking for headphones to experiment on or use for low-end comparison, the blue Philips SHL3000BL on-ears are currently available in “Used – Very Good” condition for $5.41 or “Used – Like New” for $5.75 by Amazon Warehouse Deals. There are multiple listings so there is a possibility for the price to drop even further.
The AKG K618DJ DJ-styled headphones, in the black color scheme, is available in “Used – Very Good” condition for around $25 by Amazon Warehouse Deals. These are closed-back on-ears, bass-tuned for bassy modern music but some customer reviews note that they are physically fragile.
