Beyerdynamic DTX350m Closed On-Ears for $39 New/White or Used/Black [updated]

UPDATE: it is also available in the white color scheme in new condition for less than the new condition of the black color scheme. In white, it goes for $38.50 with free shipping by various on Amazon and by Focus Camera on eBay.

This is the black color scheme: Breaking news alert for bassheads. The Beyerdynamic DTX350m closed-back on-ear headphones (the “m” is important in the name, not to be confused with the “p” we mentioned yesterday) go for $52 in new condition but they are available in “Used – Good” condition for $39 and “Used – Very Good” condition for $41.60 by Amazon Warehouse Deals. The “breaking news” part is that it just got the Wall of Fame blessings of Innerfidelity ~ with video evidence.

NOTE however that 2 out of the 8 customer reviews at amazon.com say that these physically broke, one of the two reviews has pictures of the breaking point, adding another dimension to the “breaking news” 🙂

PS: this is totally in crackpot territory but the similarly looking (but not identical looking) AKG K618/K619 had fragility breakage issues and were basshead headphones.

Massdrop x Fostex TH-X00 Ebony for $500 [MD]

HOWEVER the shipping estimate for these is mid November 2016. That is four months from blog-posting time. I repeat, shipping estimate is mid-November 2016! Patience is definitely a virtue in this case 🙂
