Limit up to ten per customer at this introductory/sale price.
The new condition Yamaha HPH-150B open-back on-ear headphones go for $100 at the moment but if you cut the price in half, you can get it in “Used – Very Good” condition (cosmetic imperfections; damaged original packaging) for $50~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.

This looks very very similar to the Custom Street On-Ears – see our Unboxing and Review Diary of the “Custom Street”. I am not sure what their differences are (other than the name). If they are similar, this is definitely a great value!
