Used Sennheiser PX 200-II On-Ears for $42.50 + S&H ($3.75 or more)

Sennheiser, like Audio Technica and AKG, mayhaps make more headphone models than most of their employees can recite without preparing the night before 😉 If of all the Sennheiser headphones it is the PX 200-II on-ears in the black color schemes the ones you want, there are currently two listings of them available at Adorama.com in “Used – Excellent” condition for $42.50 plus shipping. Shipping starts at $3.75 for my “test zipcodes” but I obviously can’t test every zipcode out there.

If/when their used inventory sells out, you will no longer see them in the search listings above.

Note that these are without mic/remote as they lack that little “i” that Sennheiser loves to use to indicate that (at least of the i-Device kind since some Androids get a “G” for Galaxy).

Used Sony MDR-7502 for $18 plus S&H ($3.75 or more)

More used action, also at Adorama, you can get the Sony MDR-7502 Closed On-Ears for $18 plus shipping. The lowest appears to be $3.75 regardless of zipcode (at least among my “test zipcodes”). The headphone weight is 5.1 ounces, so lightweight and not taking up too much space can keep S&H fees down.

If the used inventory sells out, you will no longer see it at the above search results. Their individual product links have a lot of empty spaces (four in a row) which can confuse some browsers (and definitely confuses my html editing), that’s why I am linking to the search results instead. As of the time of writing, the 7502 is third in the search results above.

Not to be confused with their more famous UE 6000 sibling, the closed-back on-ear Logitech UE-4000 have a detachable cable but it is a very closed headphone with a very small sound. If that interests you, the black color scheme is available in “Used – Acceptable” condition for the very specific price of $12.17 with free shipping for Prime members through Amazon Warehouse Deals.

Used Naxa NE-922A 5 in 1 RF Wireless System for $4.23

If you are looking for a basic AA and AAA powered RF-wireless headphone system that is low in volume, $4.23 is all it takes to get the Naxa NE-922A 5 in 1 RF wireless system in “Used – Very Good” condition” through Amazon Warehouse Deals with free shipping for Prime members.

These are sold under various brands. I have a different brand of this. The base is powered by two AA batteries, and the headset by two AAA batteries. Rechargeables work well in both. Volume is on the low side and it is a basic RF communication system. It has its audio issues but it is definitely utilitarian if you want something that just barely works. It’s audio (with all of its issues) is less annoying than the constant clicking of the $100 Sony RF-995.

Sennheiser HD6XX orders accepted again [July shipment]

IF you want to get a hold of the Sennheiser HD6XX but don’t mind waiting for it for a few months, Massdrop is accepting orders again for a mid-July 2018 shipping. The price is as before, $200 with free shipping [their attempt to raise the price to $250 a few weeks ago failed miserably].

This headphone has been out long enough that much and more has been written about it and in comparison to the HD600 and HD650. So much so that you may have to pierce the veil of nonsense to get to the bottom of things 😉

PS: meanwhile the drop for the sister-wife HD 58X Jubilee model is currently inactive.

PS2: for on-going headphones at Massdrop that you can buy like a “normal” internet purchase, check our Massdrop Tracker. These include the Fostex TH-X00 variations, AKG K7XX variants, an Objective 2 and more.

Used Xiaomi Piston Fits In-Ears for $12 [Prime eligible]

If you don’t want to wait for weeks for these to get to you from China, especially if you are a Prime member, the Xiaomi Piston Fit in-ears are available for around $12 in used condition through Amazon Warehouse Deals. This link shows the lowest price per color/option. Click on the “See all offers for this product” to see the detailed listings per color/option.

Of the summary link above, the rose-gold is the best bet for $12.06 as it is “Used – Like New” (damaged original packaging) or the silver in similar condition for $13.25. This seems to suggest it’s just imperfect packaging. The black color scheme for $11.69 on the other hand is “Used – Good” (will come repackaged) which suggests a higher risk (opened already, mayhaps used, and such).

The new condition price is $20 (Prime eligible).
