Sennheiser Urbanite XL Over Ears for $100 [iOS or Android]

The black and blue-denim color-schemes of the closed over-ear Sennheiser Urbanite XL headphones in both the Android and iOS versions (the cables are the difference) are on sale for $100 with free shipping at Amazon.com with a limit of five per customer. Use the thumbnail pictures to navigate the color/OS combinations, and pay attention to who the featured seller is, as it changes as you switch from one option to another.

But that’s not all. If you are comfortable with used headphones, their prices start at around $60 in “Used – Very Good” condition at Amazon Warehouse Deals. This link shows the lowest price for each color/OS combination. If you are interested in a particular one, click on “See all offers for this product” or click on its thumbnail picture towards the top of the page over there.

Sennheiser Urbanite On-Ears for $60 [three iOS colors]

The closed on-ear Sennheiser Urbanites are on sale for $60 per pair in three iOS colors, Black, Sand and Blue Denim at Amazon.com. You can switch between the colors and OS options by clicking on their little pictures over there. Note that the featured seller is different for each one, so make sure you locate the ones that say “Sold by: Amazon.com” and not by marketplace sellers (unless you are familiar and trust the marketplace sellers). The limit is five per color per customer for the ones shipped by Amazon actual. The whole set averages 4 out of 5 based on 100+ customer reviews.

Is Back: Shure HPACP1 Headphone Carrying Pouch under $4

It is back! The Shure HPACP1 Headphone Carrying Pouch is back in-stock at Amazon, currently going for $3.56 each, with a limit of 30 per customer. There is one small catch however, it is part of the Add-ON Program, so you would need an order of $25+, otherwise the shopping cart won’t let you buy it. This is a very nice drawstring pouch. It won’t protect from impact but can keep dirt and scratches away. It is made for their 240/440/840/550/750 line-up, so headphones with similar dimensions (or smaller) should fit fine.

Sennheiser HD 280 PRO and $15 Gift Card for $100

If you happen to want or need the closed over-ear Sennheiser HD 280 PRO headphones right now, and you can’t wait for them to go on sale in the future, there is a gift card bundle of them at Amazon.com that bundles them with a $15 Amazon Gift Card (plastic gift card that will be mailed to you) for $100 with free shipping… Their other bundle (of four options) that has a price advantage over buying the items separately is the one with a Blue Mic Snowball Ice microphone for $110 total…

PS: another headphone that has different bundles at Amazon is the HD 380 PRO, however, as of the time of writing, none of the bundles (Gift Card or Blue Mic or Creative E1 amp) have a discount advantage. Their prices and offers change over time, but I have no idea when these bundles will become favorable.

Used Sennheiser HD 598 SE for $90

The more conventionally (by Sennheiser standards) colored HD 598 Special Edition headphones currently have one listing in “Used – Good” condition for around $90 by Amazon Warehouse Deals, however, be warned, this listing is not perfect, it says “Missing Earbud cover / pad. Missing Owner / User Manual”. It will be in damaged but original packaging. The rest of the used listings are from marketplace sellers.

Sennheiser HD25-1 II and $75 Gift Card for $250

We already mentioned Amazon’s HD600 and HD650 crazy bundles [see Sennheiser archives], but they are not the only ones. The HD25-1 II closed-back headphones are now bundled with a $75 Amazon Gift Card (plastic card to be mailed to you), all together for $250 with free shipping, the same price as the headphones on their own. You can keep and use the gift card or use it as a gift or trade/sell it as you wish.
