New Arrival? HIFIMAN RE400i V2 In-Ears for $79

Version 2 (as the V2 hints at) of the Hifiman RE400i in-ear headphones is currently available for $79 with free shipping by Hifiman through amazon.com. This ships directly from Hifiman’s store, so it is not Prime eligible. There are no customer reviews at the moment. The V2 is also available for the same price by the Hifiman eBay store. I do not know what the differences are between this and the first generation model. There is no mention of a V2 for the RE400i at their website.

Used Sennheiser HD471i Closed Over-Ears for $54

This is not part of the Sennheiser IFA 2016 line-up with the goofy naming scheme, but it is a relatively new headphone (from last Fall), the closed-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 471i (detachable cable, 3-button remote for Apple devices {hence the “i” in the model name}) goes for $110 in new condition, but if you want to save some, you can get it for $54 to $58 in Used condition by Amazon Warehouse Deals. There are four listings under “Used – Very Good” for $58, so price pressure may build on these over time given that they are not a famous headphone. They average 4.1 out of 5 but based on only 16 customer reviews.

Sennheiser Urbanite XL Over-Ears for $90

Staples is trying to get more people shopping on their website so they occasionally roll out some good deals on name brand products, which brings us to the new condition closed-back over-ear Sennheiser Urbanite XL (wired, denim color scheme) offered for $90 with free shipping and handling or free store pickup. This is a limited time offer that expires by 10/8/16 or earlier if sold out. Already two other color options are out of stock and cannot be ordered.

The next best price at the moment is the black color scheme with the Galaxy/Android remote going for $115~ at amazon.com.

Alternately, the black color scheme with the Apple compatible remote control is available for $70 with free shipping in open-box condition by VM Innovations on eBay. As of the time of writing there are four units available.

The Urbanite is part of a two-pronged approach (along with the Momentum) to capture the average consumer that has been buying Beats and Bose and other fashionable/trendy headphones and/or brands.
