Used Sennheiser HD 461i for $38

The new condition closed-back Sennheier HD 461i (i = Apple devices remote) goes for $60+ in new condition, but if you are comfortable with used, it goes for around $38~ in “Used – Good” and $40~ in “Used – Very Good” and $43~ in “Used – Like New” by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. Since there are multiple listings and this is a newer not-as-well-known model, the chances of further price drops is reasonable (other things equal as always).

Coming by Dec 22nd: Sennheiser HD 598 CS for $100

In the Amazon Black Friday press release, under the second block (“Electronics”), they reveal that sometime between now and December 22nd in 2016, they will have the new condition closed-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 598 CS for $100 instead of its current price of $200. They did not reveal when this will be offered, but they typically have two options, either as a “deal of the day” which means it can run for up 24 hours in a single calendar day, or as a lightning deal, most of which run for either 4-hours or 6-hours.

The HD 598 CS is a closed-back version of the HD 598, in a black color scheme, not the woodiness of the OG open HD 598.

PS: ironically perhaps, the Amazon VP quoted in the press release is named… Shure 🙂
