Sennheiser launched their new generation of HD 5XX headphones with model numbers ending in 9s, but one of the previous generation, the 8s, still survives at Best Buy, and every few days/weeks it goes on sale, we are talking about the new condition open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 558 currently on sale for $60 with free shipping or free store pickup where possible/available.

The HD 558 was the middle of a three tier open-back line with the 518 and 598 below and above it respectively. Certainly not a bad price/value combo if you want to get your first open-back headphone, if you are looking for alternatives to the hype train that is the Philips SHP 9500S.
