Sennheiser just opened an Outlet Store on Amazon

If you are a fan of Sennheiser and Amazon, it’s a new Sennheiser x Amazon partnership 🙂 Sennheiser has opened up an Outlet store on Amazon offering certified refurbished headphones.

As of the time of writing they have five certified refurbished headphones available there with these prices:

  • refurb HD 4.40 BT Over-Ears for $70
  • refurb HD 650 for $307
  • refurb HD 280 PRO (older model) for $82
  • refurb RS 175 RF wireless system for $147
  • ignore the HDR 120 headset, it’s cheaper these days to buy the RS 120 which includes one headset and a transmitter/base

As of the time of writing, these ship directly from the Sennheiser Outlet. I have no idea whether they will also offer “fulfilled by Amazon” options. If I was guessing, I’d say they will eventually do, it may be a matter of time until they get setup and starting shipping inventory to Amazon.

If you go to the Sennheiser website, the Outlet link will actually redirect you to the Blinq online store, so Blinq is in a way “blessed” by Sennheiser.

So it is possible they are expanding to other marketplaces, or want to replace Blinq with Amazon. Only time will tell 🙂

Used Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT Over-Ears for $58

The Sennheiser HD 4.40 bluetooth closed-back over-ears with those thick earpads and their claim to fame being the Innerfidelity review are currently available in “Used – Good” condition for $58~ with free shipping by Blinq through Amazon Warehouse Deals.

I haven’t seen or touched the HD 4.40 but from the pictures it looks like they are using the same earpads as the non-bluetooth Sennheiser HD 4.20S.

Used Grado SR-325e Open-Back for $251

The new condition Grado SR325e Prestige series open-back headphones go for $295 but if you want to save some, you can get them for $251~ in “Used – Like New” (damaged original packaging) by Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) actual.

This may suggest the “pizza box” they come in is dinged up, but keep in mind, every single AWD listing is an individual thing, so it can always be in better or worse condition than as described laconically in the listings. No one is going to complain if it’s in better condition, but there is also the risk it might be worse than described. That’s one of the reasons why they offer a 30-day return policy.

Used Pioneer SE Monitor 5 for $596

The new condition currently goes for $999 but it went for $761 a month ago. But if you are comfortable with use, you can shave off $170 off the then sale price. Okay, let’s start from the beginning. As of the time of writing, there is one unit available of the Pioneer SE-Monitor 5 headphones available in “Used – Like New” condition (damaged original packaging) going for $596~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. They have zero customer reviews.

PS: more Warehouse Deals action later today as I check and process more potential deals…

Style-wise they look similar to something like the Urban Ears Platan but I have no clue if they are related.

LIVE Again: Sennheiser HD6XX for $200 [MD]

They are back on again! The Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones offer is live again at the members-only but free-to-join Massdrop website, going for their usual price of $200 with free US shipping and $15 flat shipping outside the US. Their one attempt to increase their price to $250 a few drops ago backfired and they quickly reverted to $200. This offer runs for the next eight days and change from blog-posting date (April Fool’s Day or so).

A maximum of five units per member is allowed. They will be serialized and come with a 2-year warranty since they are the product of the Senn-Mass shipping ~ they are putting the “x” in the names, thus opening the door to “shipping talk” 🙂

Patience is a virtue here too. The shipping estimate is mid-August 2018, about a week ahead of the Noble Kaiser 10 Custom IEMs. You can buy five HD6XXs for the price of one Kaiser CIEM 🙂

In a way this long wait curtails impulse buys. If this was available with Prime shipping, I probably wouldn’t be able to resist!

Beats Studio 3 Wireless headphones for $250

The new condition Beats Studio 3 Wireless headphones (closed-back, bluetooth, W1 chip, ANC) are now down to $250 with free shipping in the black, red and blue color schemes by Amazon actual. You can buy as many as you like. This is not a lightning deal.

This is a highly contested market segment and it’s interesting to see that Apple/Beats is trying to undercut the price of its competition (Bose QC 35 II, Sony 1000X M2, Sennheiser Momentum and PXC, B&O, etc). On the other hand, the 1000X M2 is down to $200 as manufacturer refurbished, so market competition is a three-dimensional chess 😉

You can buy as many as you like. It is not a lightning deal. It is a blue/white color scheme. The headband is almost non-existent! They average 3.9 out of 5 based on 46 customer reviews.

Here’s an annotated screenshot of their main product picture with the points of interest marked:
