Samson RH600 Open Back for $20 w/free S&H

The open-back Samson RH600 headphones are currently on sale for around $20 with free shipping for all by Sam Ash thru Amazon.

Used BeoPlay H6 (first gen) for $240 to $261

If you can’t resist the Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 headphones but don’t want to pay the $400 new condition price, and you are not tempted by the second generation model (also $400), you can get the first-generation model in Used condition, with prices at $240 for the Natural/Brown color scheme and $261 for the black color scheme. These are the prices by Amazon Warehouse Deals. Other marketplace sellers may have them for slightly less, but they are a higher risk unless they are a well known seller or you have a higher risk threshold.

Wool-Yarn Headband for $10~ [various colors]

There are four different colors of the Geekria wool-yarn headband for headphones going for around $10 (prices varies slightly by color), sold by Geekria with the order fulfilled by Amazon. This is a universal-ish headband for mid-size headphones. It says that it just barely fits the AKG Q701, so check size and customer reviews to make sure if its on yours.

Caution: the main picture for the grey color scheme shows a headphone with the gray headband on a headphone stand. Only the headband is included. Not the headphone stand! Check the other gallery pictures over there to get more views of the headband.
