Used Beyerdynamic T51i On-Ears for $173

The closed-back on-ear portable Beyerdynamic T51i headphones are currently available in “Used – Very Good” condition described to have minor cosmetic imperfections and damaged original packaging for $173~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.

Always check who the available sellers are, don’t just look at the price over there. AWD actual is part of Amazon, so you get Amazon Customer Service, fulfillment by Amazon (Amazon’s shipping service and returns, so Prime eligible), and their 30-day return window. Amazon does not make any claims of warranty offered with the product. A number of authorized dealers selling open-box items through AWD though state in the individual listings that their open-box items get warranty. So YMMV if want to claim warranty service from an AWD actual purchase.
