Used Sennheiser RS120 Wireless (RF) for $29

The Sennheiser RS120 Wireless (RF) headphones are available in “Used – Very Good” condition for $29~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. There are multiple listings of this, so there’s always the possibility of price pressure dropping the price further down.

These are RF wireless (not bluetooth). You get the transmitter base and a headset. The headset can only be used with the transmitter base, it does not have a 3.5mm input. They average 4.1 out of 5 based on over 13,500 customer reviews. A couple of issues of these are a quick disconnect on silence in the audio and wonky AC adapter connection to the tranmitter base.

Sennheiser IE80 In-Ears for $207 [limit 3]

Two back to back Sennheiser IE in-ear sales. First up, the new condition Sennheiser IE80 go for the very specific price of $206.61 at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three units per customer.

These average 4.3 out of 5 based on 300+ customer reviews. They have just under a 7:1 “review intensity ratio” at the moment. The more reviews are published, the more useful the “review intensity ratio” is since it can “absorb” review aberrations (haters, lovers, shills, the confused, the clueless, etc).

Superlux HD 681 Semi-Open for $28

A trio of marketplace sellers fulfilled by Amazon are price-matching each other on the new condition semi-open over-ears Superlux HD 681 headphones at exactly $28. Free shipping for Prime members or with a $35+ order. They average 4.1 out of 5 based on 400+ customer reviews, and they have a 14:1 “review intensity ratio”, a pretty good one!

These look similar to the Samson SR850 but they are not identical. Their earcup covers are different and from the looks of it the earpad material is different. I’ve only used the Samson, so I can only go by the pictures of the Superlux.

There’s plenty of talk on these headphones online as they are frequent “guests” of bang-for-the-buck lists and discussions.
