Flagship Temptation of the Used Kind! The new condition recently released Sennheiser HD800 S go for $1700 at authorized dealers, but as of the time of writing, there is a listing of them in “Used – Good” condition (various cosmetic imperfections, missing cord, damaged original packaging) for $1275 with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals.

NOTE: this is available as of 5/7/16 at 11pm Eastern Time. The blog-post here cannot be updated automatically if/when this sells out, so YMMV if reading at a later time. I will be checking on it later on, but I can’t be “baby sitting” it.

Sennheiser HD 800 for $1000 [higher risk]

A trio of marketplace sellers are offering the new condition Sennheiser HD 800 former-flagship for $1000 to $1018 with free shipping, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon. This is a higher risk purchase (I don’t know if any of those three are authorized Sennheiser dealers), but at least the order is fulfilled by Amazon, so in case of problems, you deal with Amazon’s own customer support, not the sellers. Again, this is a higher risk purchase, so don’t buy if you don’t have tolerance for potential troubles.

Philips SPH 9500 Open-Back for $59 w/free s&h

More headphones popping up on eBay, the new condition Philips SHP 9500 open-back over-ears are on sale again for $59 with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer, by NewEgg’s eBay store. Over 1400 units got sold so far from this eBay listing.

Sennheiser HD650 and iFi Micro iCAN Special Edition headphone amp for $550

Bundle up time once again! The new condition open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 650 headphones are bundled with the iFi Micro iCAN Special Edition headphone amp, together going for $550 with free shipping, for a limited time only at Adorama.com. Offer ends by 5/11/16.

If you don’t want or need the amp but you are still interested in the HD 6xx headphones, there are some bundles of them with Amazon plastic gift cards at Amazon. Currently the one that is the best deal of that lot is the HD600 with a $150 gift card for $400, making the headphones a nice $250 for this all-time classic model.

Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 (Ivory, iOS) for $218

The in-ears are not the only Momentums that are on sale. The Ivory color-scheme of the iOS version (that’s the MFi 3-button remote) of the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 closed-back over-ears is now on sale for $218 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of five per customer. The other options go for much more. They have detachable cables so you can use your own cable, you don’t have to be an iOS user to make the most of these.

PS: I don’t have this particular model, but in my experimentation of sticking different brand and OS cables on different headphones, most of them work. But to be on the safe side, check forums or ask in forums to make sure this would work

PS2: by saying “work”, I mean getting the full function of the in-line remote, play, pause, volume up/down, next/previous track, etc. Usually play and pause on iOS remotes works on many Android phones, it’s the rest of the functionality that varies. Again though, this is a very general blanket statement, YMMV depending on the individual combination you are using.

Refurbished Philips M1/28 On-Ear for $37 [was $50]

UPDATE 7/22/16: as of this update, the price dropped to $37.

The Philips M1/28 on-ears are an older model (discontinued) but if you are comfortable buying from a higher risk merchant, they are available in refurbished condition from Deals2Remember (91%, 74 ratings) for $50, with the order fulfilled by Amazon. Since they ship from Amazon, you deal with Amazon’s customer service and get free Prime shipping, so in case of problems, it’s not as risky as buying directly from a seller. The headphones themselves average 4 out of 5 based on 55 customer reviews.

M-Audio HDH-50 Studio Over-Ears for $95

The M-Audio HDH-50 studio headphones (closed over-ears) go for $200 in new condition, but up and coming retailer Jet.com has them on sale for $95, perhaps as a blockbuster promotion. Not only that, but they also have a built-in volume discount, the more units you buy, the lower the per unit price you pay.

One word of caution is that Jet does not tell you upfront who the actual seller/shipper of an item is. It may be Jet themselves, or any other seller that is doing business on the Jet website. They are trying to keep it simple, but this is an important piece of information that they should be upfront about it.

Regardless if you are not a fan of Jet, you can get them in “Used – Like New” condition by Wisconsin’s Pixel PRO Audio store for $110 with free shipping through Amazon Warehouse Deals. They ship from Pixel, so no Prime fast shipping.
