Nady QH-560 Deluxe Open Back for $10

The Nady QH-560 Deluxe Open Back headphones are currently on sale in new condition for $10 per pair at Musician’s Friend (free shipping) and Amazon actual (the customary free S&H terms)… They are not doing very well review-wise, they get 3.6 at MF with 26 reviews, and 3.0 at Amazon with 16 reviews. Which is perhaps partially why they are on sale for $10? 🙂

[DEAD] Seller-Refurbished Grado SR125i for $115

This sold out (or got yanked)… The open-back Grado SR125i headphones (previous generation in smartphone-speak) are available in refurbished condition for $115 with free shipping by Brainstorm LLC with the order fulfilled by Amazon (eligible for Prime). These are seller-refurbished, since there’s no mention of manufacturer-refurbished in the listing.

MEE audio Atlas Diamond IML Graphics On-Ears for $20

The MEelectronics (reborn as MEE Audio) Atlas Diamond IML Graphics On-Ears are currently on sale for $20 with a limit of three per customer in this particular design at Amazon actual. The other colors/designs go for a lot more. All together they average 4/5 based on 360+ customer reviews.

NVX XPT 100 Closed-Back Over-ears for $70

Members-only but free-to-join BuySonic.com (operated by Sonic Electronix) is offering the closed-back over-ear NVX XPT 100 headphones for $70. This and a few others. Some of the offers are behind a login wall (you need an account to see further details). This is similar to Massdrop, where prices below MAP have to be offered to a specific customer when logged in to their account, similar to someone walking into a store (or calling the toll free number) and asking for discounts.

Because manufacturers are still living in the catalogue ordering era 🙂

Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (250 ohm) for $120 after $30 MIR

The open-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (250 ohm) are currently going for $120 after a $30 mail-in rebate, with free shipping, at Adorama.com. Details on the rebate in the PDF instructions. This particular rebate offer can only be used at Adorama and it expires 11/19/15.

PS: if you don’t want to deal with the mail-in rebate, $150 is not a bad price either. It still beats Amazon’s $160.

PS: if you can’t easily remember which ones are open and closed in this Beyerdynamic line-up, here’s a little mnemonic for the DT 770, 880 and 990. The higher the number, the more open they get. The 770 is closed, the 880 is semi-open, and the 990 is open.
