we find good deals for you!
If you are looking for the Sennheiser HD 660S open-back over-ears, they are back in-stock again at their starting price of $500 by a couple of fulfilled by Amazon sellers, “Electronics EXPO” and “World Wide Stereo”. Amazon’s own listing remains “temporarily out of stock”.
In terms of bang for the buck though, if you have the patience for it arrive in a few months, the HD6XX goes for $200 as a Massdrop in-stock drop.
IF of all the active noise-cancelling over-ear headphones it is the good old Logitech UE 6000 the ones you want, they are available in manufacturer refurbished condition for $55 with free shipping by eBay seller “OutletMP3” (99.2%), shipping from California.
Also on eBay, there is a “new other” condition (bulk packaging, no retail box) listing for $60 with free shipping by eBay seller “MyTechSolution” (New Jersey, 99.2%).
The lowest price at Amazon Warehouse Deals is $68~ in “Used – Good” condition.
Did the Guardians of the Galaxy put you in a retro music gear mood? Massdrop can help with that too, they have, fully unlocked, running for the next five days or so, the new condition Koss KPH30i Rhythm Beige lightweight on-ear headphones for $20 plus shipping. This model is based on the KTXPro1 and Pro35 but has a mic/remote to keep the smartphone users happy. Smartphone features and all, it is still open, driving the rando-consumer who buys it without reading the page in front of them mad 🙂
It comes with the usual Koss limited lifetime warranty and will ship at the end of December, which is also the end of the year. OMG, where did all the time go? It also means that another wave of new headphones is coming, because CES 2018 is coming!
Look who’s back in the daily drops! The new condition Massdrop x HIFIMAN HE4XX planar-magnetics are on again as 24-hour “in-stock drops” for $170 with free shipping. The drop will open and close daily. Orders will be shipped in 2-3 business days after the drop closes. That’s blazing speed by Massdrop standards 🙂 They come with a 1-year manufacturer warranty (being a Hifiman-Massdrop co-development and all). All sales are final!
I added them to our Massdrop In-Stock Drops Tracker. I also re-arranged the order based on where the most activity is at.
Ducks time! The Audiosplice NCAA Oregon Ducks licensed (in a bright green and yellow color scheme) closed-back on-ear headphones are available in “Used – Like New” (original packaging) condition for $13.75 by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. Free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+. The few reviews it has are split.
Don’t stop AKGing! The new condition AKG K553 PRO closed-back over-ear is the Musician’s Friend Deal of the Day going for $99 with free shipping until Thursday at 8am eastern (or earlier if sold out). This is one of multiple K5** options, so if you are not familiar with them, google them around. The price is certainly right on this one though.
It’s back on sale again, the semi-open over-ear unapologetically non-fashion studio-looking Samson SR-850 are going for $25 with free shipping (no minimum purchase required) at Adorama.com. No coupon, no rebate, just add to cart and proceed! As usual, this is a limited time sale.
If you are curious about these, we have a useful text and pictures unboxing post. They have a long-ass cable (that’s a technical term), which can be handy if you need it and annoying if you don’t. It’s nice to be tethered to a desktop computer while working but still have a few feet to move around without being worried of yanking the headphones off your head or off the headphone jack 🙂 The cable is non-detachable. There’s no mic/remote. The earpads are not the most comfy, but you can replace them, or make you own … out of socks. That’s one way to scare away other people from using your headphones 🙂
As of a late 11/30/17 PM re-check, the used options are sold out…
The open-back Grado SR-225e headphones go for $200 in new condition at authorized dealers, but if you are comfortable with used, you can get them in “Used – Good” (repackaged) condition for $150 by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.
Of other Grados, only if you are a high-risk tolerance shopper, one fulfilled by Amazon 3rd-party seller has the Grado iGe in-ears with Apple controls for $55 instead of their usual price of $99. You have extra protection because it is “fulfilled by Amazon”, but still, you have to worry about these being authentic or something else wrong with them. This is more of a PSA to avoid, than a deal alert. But of course I am not the master of the universe, different people have different risk tolerances.

Surprise! When you click on the thing to “add to cart”, the new condition blue color scheme of the closed-back over-ear Beats Studio 3 Wireless (latest model; bluetooth with ANC) drops to $250 at Abt Electronics. The other two colors are at the starting price of $350. I have no clue how long this will last.

Even the hybrid electronics get their doorbusters! The new condition SHARKK Bravo Headphones are back down to $20 with free shipping, sold and shipped by BREED thru Amazon and they are not Prime eligible. These were once a $300 crowd-funding darling riding the waves of the pre-release hype machine 🙂 At 20 times less, they may be of interest for curiosity and comparison purposes. Still, if you haven’t heard of them, read up on them before buying!
As of mid-Wednesday, the price is back to the usual sale price of $98…
As of a Tuesday 10:49am ET recheck, the situation is this: the blue color scheme of the Sony XB950-B1 closed-back over-ear bluetooth “Extra Bass” is on sale for $90 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual, with up to three pairs per customer. The other two colors have increased from the Cyber Monday $85 to $98.
It looks like this promotion expired: Not only that, but if you are Prime member and you pay with a Prime credit card (Chase VISA or Store card), you get 20% off back, so in this case, you pay $85 and you get a $17 statement credit on your credit card, making it $68! the N1 remains at $123.
As of Tuesday 11/28/17, this is sold out and cannot be ordered BUT the price remains $200…
The dream of the $99 planar headphones is alive, in Portland, in Portland! Okay, this is not Portlandia, but it’s planar doorbuster time at Monoprice! They are offering the refurbished Monoprice M560 open/closed on-ear planar-magnetic headphones for $100 with free standard US shipping. Limit one per customer!
If you have been curious about those simple-design SOL Republic on-ears with the user-replaceable minimalist headbands but didn’t want to pay the “fashion headphone tax” for them, fear not! The Tech Rabbit Cyber Monday sale is here with two well priced options that come with free shipping and seller warranty even:
+ refurbished Tracks On-Ears in the black color scheme with 3-button remote for $10
+ refurbished Tracks Ultra On-Ears with 3-button remote for $15
If “Dark Blue Chrome” is your favorite color, you are in luck! The new condition limited edition Hifiman HE-400i Dark Blue Chrome open-back over-ear headphones have dropped from $200 to $180 with free shipping at BuyDIG. It looks like they are “savings” these for their own website, I haven’t seen them through their eBay or Amazon stores.
Speaking of planar-magnetic headphones on sale, the Monoprice M560 open/closed on-ears continue for $150, while their larger M1060 over-ears are back down to $250 with free shipping.
Also continuing is the AUDEZE Cyber Monday sale but a couple of models have sold out and can no longer be ordered: the $200 SINE On-Ears and one of the $650 LCD-2s.
Amazon is returning to the gift card game, you can get the new condition Audio Technica M50X closed-back over-ears bundled with a $30 plastic Amazon Gift card in a gift-box (those can be handy during the holidays) for $129 with free shipping and handling.
Given how easy it is to spend a $30 gift card at Amazon on things you need/want, that’s like paying $99 for the headphones. Only the black color scheme is eligible for the gift card offer. In the rare occasion where the gift card arrives to your door before the M50x ships from an Amazon facility, you can use the value of the gift card towards the payment of the M50x. That’s because of how Amazon’s accounting splits bundle pricing to prevent return fraud.
This sale and subsequent price-match expired…

B&H Photo is back with another headphone as one of their daily deals for Wednesday, running until 11:59pm ET, or earlier if sold out. This sale is the new condition Samson RTE 2 Bluetooth On-Ears offered for $28 with free shipping and handling.
Amazon’s price-match is over but the new condition closed-back over-ear Audio Technica ATH-M40x continue to go for $79 with free shipping at Guitar Center and Musician’s Friend.
This sale ended though: OR if you have eBAY gift cards or Bonus Bucks to spent, it is also available by the Musician’s Friend eBAY store for the same price.
The new condition closed-back over-ear B&O PLAY H6 by Bang & Olufsen are on sale for $179 with free shipping with up to three pairs per customer at the sale price at Amazon by Amazon actual where they average 4.3 out of 5 based on 138 customer reviews. Only the black color scheme is on sale, not the natural leather.
Note that the one on sale is the first generation. The latest model is the second generation which ranges from $233 to $240 depending on color scheme and it averages 4.1 out of 5 based on 145 customer reviews.
And we have another Audio Technica M50x bundle for $129, this time you get a free Fiio A3 portable headphone amplifier instead of a $30 Netflix Gift Card. The Fiio A3 goes for $60 on its own, so you are getting a better value with this bundle assuming you want/need the Fiio A3 or don’t mind gifting or selling or trading it. Of the average consumer, you will find more takers on $30 Netflix in the hand than $60 audiophile technobabble for future use 🙂
This is sold by the BuyDIG Rakuten store. No coupons, no rebates, just add to cart and checkout. BuyDIG creates some value combos, but not every combo they create is ideally suited to be used together. For example, if you find that you can drive your M50x well enough from your phone or DAP, you can use the Fiio A3 with some of your other headphones. Likewise, sometimes they bundle microSD cards with headphones. You obviously can’t stick the microSD card into the headphone, but you can use it with your phone, tablet, DAPs, Roku box, laptop, etc.
