Here, we cover headphones big and small, from single figures to five figures. All is welcome.

Pioneer SE-MHR5 Closed-Back for $190 to $201

While looking at the product description of the Pioneer Master SE-1, I discovered another new-to-me Pioneer headphone, it is the closed-back SE-MHR5 folding headphone. This has two separate listings at Amazon. Amazon’s own price is $201~, while in a separate listing East-Coast store chain Electronics Expo offers it for $190 with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so it is Prime eligible.

We are definitely in an era of “Peak TV” and probably “Peak Headphone” too 🙂
