This is another listing to keep an eye out for. Even if the current price is not tempting enough, the bottom may fall out and create a “falling knife” type of a situation. As of the time of writing, there are a lot of listings of the Beyerdynamic T51i Portable Closed On-Ears in “Used – Very Good” condition for $139~, all of them by Amazon Warehouse Deals. If they don’t get sold fast enough, their pricing system will likely discount them further to entice shoppers. No one outside Amazon really knows how exactly the discounting process works, we are of course all guessing, but that’s a lot of listings for a headphone model that is more known to audiophiles than average consumers. It averages 4.2 out of 5 based on 84 customer reviews.

In-stock in 5 colors: Sony Premium H.Ear On for $200
I am not sure how drunk they were when they named these “H.Ear On” because that’s a rather awkward search-wise and not very memorable name, but that’s navel gazing. As of the time of writing, all five different color schemes (and these are bold colorful colors) are in-stock and ready to ship for their starting price of $200 at Amazon.com. They average 4.8 out of 5 based on 11 customer reviews so far. It’s all five stars except for a disappointed 2-star emoji review.
Used Sony XBA H3 Hybrid 3-way In-Ears for $175 to $187
The “BA” is unmistakable in the model name, it’s balanced armature time, the Sony XBA H3 Hybrid 3-way In-Ears have many listings at Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD). The lowest price is currently $175 in “Used – Good” with many more listings for $187~ in “Used – Very Good”. It looks like there is price pressure on them, perhaps that one “Used – Good” may be the dam that is holding back the discounting. Even if this price is not right, you may want to keep an eye out for them in case of future discounts (not guaranteed that they will drop further though ~ speculation based on patterns).
