Used Beyerdynamic T51i On-Ears for $146

The Beyerdynamic T51i currently go for $234~ in new condition, but if you prefer to save some more, there is a price pressure building up on them in used condition at Warehouse Deals. There are seven separate listings in “Used – Very Good” condition for around $146. There is a big gap in price between them and the “Used – Like New” which is much closer to the new condition price of $238. The multiple listings could potential push the price further down ~ other things equal.

These average 4.2 out of 5 based on 80+ customer reviews. These are closed on-ears with portable use in mind, and as the “i” suggest in the model name, they come with the 3-button MFi remote which means you get predictable button behavior with Apple’s devices, and randomess with Android and other mobile devices.
