We continue digging for used deals at Adorama, this time we have the “USED – Demo” condition Fiio E10K USB DAC/amp offered for $52.50 plus shipping (starts at $3.75), with a 30-day return policy, and a 90-day Adorama warranty. Pictures of the devices in the new condition listing.

Used JVC HA-RX500 Closed Over-Ears for $11 shipped

If you like budget closed-back over-ear headphones with a very loooooooooong cable (11.5 feet), JVC HA-RX500 are available in “USED – Good” condition for $7 plus shipping (starting at $3.75) at Adorama.com. There are also a few more options in better conditions for a higher price.

They come with a 30-day return policy and a 90-day warranty covered by Adorama. As fate would have it, I bought these exactly three years ago. I haven’t seen them in recent months, but from what I recall, they are utilitarian headphones for the price, especially if you need a long cable.

Used AKG K3003i in-ears for $469

If you don’t want to venture in the higher risk wild west that is non-authorized eBay sellers, the AKG K3003i in-ears are available in “Used – Good” condition (damaged original packaging, missing manual, accessories have blemishes) for $469 by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual (AWD).

PS: make sure the seller is AWD actual, not any of those “just launched” and low feedback sellers, or ones that ask you to contact them before buying. Those are scammers! Not sure why it’s taking Amazon so long to shut them down.

AKG K240 Semi-Open Over-Ears for $54

This go on a cyclical sale, the good old AKG K240 Semi-Open Over-Ear Studio Headphones, they are back down to $54 with free shipping at Amazon (Amazon actual and various others) and Musician’s Friend, Fry’s, and through Google Express (in case you have any promotions or gift cards there). Google Express is fulfilling them through Fry’s, so if you are not near a Fry’s, you probably won’t be able to get them at that price (unless you have other local/regional sellers that also offer it for the same price).

These are neo-iconic old school headphones, they average 4.4 out of 5 based on over 1000 customer reviews and have over 130 questions answered.
