AmazonBasics Over-Ears for $34.99
The closed-back over-ear AmazonBasics branded headphones are now on sale for $34.99 per pair, with a limit of five per customer at Amazon’s own website. I typically round the prices for readability, but in this case, that little penny is important, because if you are not a Prime member, you need a $35+ order to get free shipping. You can always add an audio cable or some other add-on item or trinket to get to over $35 if you don’t need anything else… These average 3.7 out of 5 based on 50+ customer reviews…

Beyerdynamic DT 990 (250 ohm) Limited Edition (straight cable) for $130
While Sennheiser and Audio Technica and AKG are well known for squirting new headphone models left and right, all across their line-up, Beyerdynamic is not far behind these days. Case in point, they have a recent limited edition of the DT 990 (250 ohm) open-back headphones with a straight black cable, and it is currently on sale for $130 with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer by Focus Camera on eBay. This is new condition in original packaging.
TIP: easy way to tell the “open-ness” of the Beyerdynamic DT-series, the higher the number, the more open they get. The DT770 is closed, the DT880 is semi, and the DT990 is open.
Buy Sony MDR-1A for $300, Get $100 Promotional Gift Card
There is a limited time offer at the Dell website. This appears after you add the headphone to the shopping cart. So when you add the Sony MDR-1A closed-back over-ears to the shopping cart, and click through to the proceed to checkout page (you don’t need to login or sign-up to see this offer), the shopping cart shows a promotion that gets you a $100 promotional Dell Gift Card if you complete the purchase.
It is important to note that the promotional gift card expires in 90 days and will be sent to you 10-20 days after your order ships. So you might as well plan your next purchase at Dell before you pull the trigger on this one.

These three lightning deals expired, but all three of them are recurring offers. However, I have no idea when they will return…
Monoprice 8323 Over-Ears for $16 w/free shipping (limit 10)
This is as close to a bang for the buck deal as you are going to get. The Monoprice website is offering their frequently-recommended 8323 Closed-Back Over-Ear Headphones for $16 with free standard shipping, with a limit of ten per customer. These have a detachable cable (included), and fold flat, and have a number of hacks you can make if you want to improve their comfort. It is really hard to beat this as a bang for the buck headphone on sale and with free shipping included.
Sennheiser HD 558 for $90 (limit 2)
If you are a fan of senning (verb) the heisers (noun) [feel free to throw tomatoes at me], the open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 558, the middle child of their three-tier line-up is back on sale again, going for $90 with free shipping, with a limit of two per customer, at Amazon by Amazon actual. It averages 4.6 out of 5 based on 770+ customer reviews and has 170+ customer reviews if you are curious about it. Both reviews and questions-answered are searchable, they have their little search-boxes but you kinda have to look for them – they are not easy to find while casually glancing around the ever-so-loaded Amazon product pages.
Used Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation) for $879
The second generation Beyerdynamic T1 Tesla headphones are already in-stock at various retailers for $1100, but if you are fond of used headphones, and want to save some, as of the time of writing, there is a single used listing on them, in “Used – Very Good” condition (cosmetic imperfections on the item, damaged packaging), going for $879~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. These are 600 ohm headphones and with their latest models, BeyerD has finally discovered detachable cable technology (comes with detachable double-sided braided 3 meter (almost 10 feet) cable) 🙂
Pioneer HDJ-2000 DJ Closed-Back Over-Ears for $219
It’s DJ time on the internets, because we have another DJ headphone, it is the black color scheme of the Pioneer HDJ-2000 (closed-back, 50mm drivers, over-ears) going for a limited time for $219 with free 3-day shipping from authorized dealer Adorama.com.
PS: a “DJ headphone” is (or has become) a bit of a nebulous description. The original thought behind the term was for headphones that are designed for use by DJs while DJing (verb). Over time, marketing took over the term, so now a DJ headphone is not just one that has features that might be useful to a DJ (closed-back, swiveling earcups, one-ear listening, folding, isolation, cable flexibility, etc), but it is also a style – pandora’s box has been opened. This is a general purpose comment, not meant for this particular headphone specifically.

There’s no coupon code or anything else you need to it.
NOTE #1: Only the black-espresso color scheme gets the free $50 gift card. The white-tan color-scheme does not.
NOTE #2: this model should not be confused with the “SE” (Special Edition) models that come with a “Splashproof Coating”.

Used Sennheiser HD 598 Special Edition for $105~
The Sennheiser HD 598 Special Edition proved to be a blockbuster seller during Amazon’s Black Friday holiday sales according to their press release (look for it by brand because it’s a loooong press release). And as such, it was bound to have its fair share of returns.
As of the time of writing, there are seven different listings of it in Used condition by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual and more by other sellers there. The prices currently are $105~ (was $99) for “Used – Good” and $105~ for “Used – Very Good” (these sold out!).
