Used Grado PS500e w/upgraded cushion pads for $555

We have a “Grado Trilogy”, starting with the PS500e available in “Used – Very Good” condition with upgraded Grado G cushion pads and lots of pictures in the seller’s gallery (click on one of the two pictures and a gallery of six pictures will pop up), going for $550 plus $5.50 flat shipping by seller AudioCritic (100%, 113 ratings) through Amazon Warehouse Deals. The new condition price is $595.

Geekria Zippered Case for PortaPros under $9

Speaking of Koss, the Amazon recommendation algorithm pointed these out while I was looking at the KSC75 listing, it is a zippered case specifically marketed for the Koss PortaPros by Geekria, currently going for $8.77, sold by Geekria and the order fulfilled by Amazon, so it is Prime eligible. It is NOT (thankfully) an Add-On item. The gallery pictures, especially #4, gives you a feel for its size, so other headphones of similar shape and size should fit as well. It averages 4.1/5 based on 46 customer reviews.

PS: the PortaPros come with a drawstring carrying pouch.

Koss KSC75 Open Clip-Ons for $12.58 [limit 5]

The Koss KSC75 open-back clip-ons are a “famous” model, so when they go on sale, you don’t get crazy percentages like Monster or JBL or other “fashion” headphones. But we have a small sale at the moment, they go for $12.58 in new condition with a limit of five units per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual. Free shipping for Prime members or with a $49+ order.

NVX Audio XPT100 Studio for $80

The closed over-ear NVX Audio XPT100 Studio headphones typically go for $100 on their own, but currently they are on sale for $80 with free shipping by Limitless Creations Direct (I am guessing their owner/licensee?) with the order fulfilled by Amazon so it is Prime eligible.

However, if you also happen to need a pair of fashionable closed headphones, you can get these in a “value meal” promotion, together with the Polk Audio HINGE On-Ears going for $100 with free shipping by Sonix Electronix on eBay. eBay is running another eBay Bucks promotion, so if you are eligible you can get these (or any other headphones) and score 10% eBay Bucks. Check for e-mails from eBay for that offer.

[DEAD] Used Grado SR225e On-Ears for $170

As of late 8/2/16 recheck, the used option for $170 sold out…

Our random excursion at Amazon moves to Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) where they have a listing for the Grado SR225e Open On-Ears going for $170 with free shipping in “Used – Like New” (original damaged pizza box packaging). This is sold by AWD actual, not marketplace sellers. The new condition price for these is $200.

PS: the “e” are the latest models in the Grado line-up, while the “i” are the previous generation. The “i” however is not an indicator of MFi (Made for iPhone/iPod/iPad), it’s just a letter 🙂 These are wired headphones, no mic, no remote, no technobabble.
