We go from a $13 item to a $761 item 🙂 The new condition Pioneer SE Monitor 5 closed-back over-ear headphones are currently going for the very specific price of $760.67 with free shipping by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal and it doesn’t look like it’s a price-match.
Refurbished AKG K840 KL (Kleer) Wireless On-Ears for $120
If you are a fan of the KLEER digital wireless technology (as opposed to RF or IR found in lower cost products), also part of the weekly Harman website deals is the recertified AKG K840 KL On-Ears going for $120 with free 2nd-day air and a 1-year warranty. Limit up to five per customer.
I didn’t know AKG too had Kleer technology headphones. Sennheiser used them in their RS160 and above previous-generation wireless but they switched apparently to their own technology with the newer RS**5 models. This being an on-ear is a more mobile setup, with the transmitter looking more like a smartphone power-bank than a 50s scifi ground control device 🙂
Refurbished AKG K845 BT Bluetooth Over-Ears for $100
It’s A Song of AKG and Bluetooth! The White Walker color scheme of the AKG K845 BT closed-back over-ear bluetooths is on sale for $100 with free 2nd-day shipping and a 1-year warranty at the official Harman Audio store. This is part of their weekly sales which start on Mondays. The Night Watch (black) color scheme is not sale.
Refurbished AKG K495 ANC On-Ears for $70 w/free 2nd-day Air
Monday is here which means another round of weekly deals at the official Harman/JBL stores. The sales including the recertified AKG K-495 ANC On-Ears going for $70 with free 2nd-day air and 1-year warranty.
Many of the six customer reviews there complain of bad construction and breakage, so keep that in mind, especially if you are planning to use them in adventurous situations or have a bigger head (the full extension puts more pressure on a fragile headphone). I’ve had a different model of their on-ears and it just broke off at the extension area without any rough handling. Because of my not so tiny head, I had to wear it fully extended. So if you hate returns/exchanges, this is a higher risk item.
AKAI Project 50X Closed Over-Ears for $25
They are back on the sale cycle, they are the new condition AKAI Project 50X Closed Over-Ears going for $24.99 with free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order. Limit up to three pairs per customer. They went as low a $18 last summer where they were doing the “falling knife” thing.
They are folding, and as you can tell by the pictures and the name, they are an Audio Technica M50x “homage” 🙂 Their accessories may be worth about half the price of the headphones, two pairs of cables are included (detachable), along with an adapter and a leatherette pouch. They average 3.5 out of 5 based on 220+ customer reviews.
