You may have seen two-headphone bundles and puzzled as to what they were thinking. Well, if they can bundle two, why not three? That’s right, Amazon has bundled three different headphones for $500. You get the new condition Sennheiser HD 650, the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO (250 ohm), and the Audio Technica M30X. Two open-back with high “ohmage” and one closed-back, all over-ears. You can keep them all to yourself, or give some as gifts to other people. The holidays are almost here after all.

Versus Buying Them Separately
Now this bundle is a bit more tricky to evaluate. It makes sense if you want all three of them and you need them right now. If you don’t need all three, or you don’t need them immediately, and you don’t object to mail-in rebates and gift cards, you can get a better deal if you buy them piece-meal:

• HD650 + $200 Gift Card for $500 (so essentially paying $300 for the HD650s)
• DT 990 PRO (250 ohm) for $120 after $30 mail-in rebate)
• Audio Technica M30x for $55 on their own

So with this more complicated option, you pay $705 out of pocket, but you receive a $200 Gift Card and $30 back via mail-in rebate. So it nets $475 when it is all said and done.
