Used Soundmagic HP-151 Closed Over-Ears for $83

Soundmagic’s new HP-151 closed-back over-ears, following up on the HP-150, currently go for $130 in new condition, sold by a couple of marketplace sellers at that price, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon.

But if you are a more adventurous shopper, you can get them in “Used – Acceptable” condition for $83 [WAS $90~] with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. No details are provided on the condition of this particular listing, so it’s a bit of a pig in a poke, but AWD offers a 30 day return policy in case of troubles or surprises ~ assuming you’ll have the time to put them through the paces during that time.

Now shipping: Beats Studio 3 ANC/BT Over-Ears with the Apple W1 chip for $350

The latest model in the Beats Studio line of over-ear headphones is the third generation, and the black color scheme of this new model is now in-stock and ready to ship for $350 at Amazon by Amazon actual. The red and blue are in “temporarily out of stock” status, while the white color scheme is not currently available for ordering.

This has been added to our recently re-launched New Headphones Tracker.

Apple is, as expected, “recapturing” the magical $350 price point that is fought in the trenches of shopping centers online and at brick and mortar. Or for almost half the price you can get the new condition second generation.

The claim to fame of the third generation model is that it is using Apple’s W1 chip which layers on top of class 1 bluetooth, offering additional Apple-y benefits to the headphone. The W1 chip is already available in other Beats headphones (Solo 3, AirPods).

Used Chord Mojo portable DAC/amp for $450+

There are a couple of “Used – Good” condition listings with scratches but all accessories included offered by a marketplace seller, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, which reduces the risk versus something shipped directly from the marketplace seller.

There’s also a “Used – Acceptable” for $450 that is fulfilled by Amazon. In addition to the scratches, it is missing some of the original accessories. The prices of the used versus $new condition options are a close call depending on your used vs new philosophy.

The marble-y portable DAC/amp averages 4.6 out of 5 based on 81 customer reviews.

UPDATE: I replaced the link above with one that shows all the detailed used listings. For the new condition options, check the main product page.

MEE Matrix 2 Bluetooth Over-Ears: NEW for $68, USED for $39+

The third generation MEE audio Matrix 3 bluetooth headphones are now out, going for $120 in new condition and $84~ in used condition. They support Bluetooth 4.0 with apt-X and AAC, and also play music via 3.5mm input.

But if you want to go bluetooth by saving more, the second generation goes for $68 in new condition by Amazon actual (limit 3 per customer).

Or you can save even more thru Warehouse Deals where the Matrix 2 goes for $39~ in “Used – Acceptable” or $44~ in “Used – Very Good” condition or $47~ in “Used – Like New”. The previous link is the default summary listing. This is the detailed Used only listings.

The Matrix 2 supports the same formats but also supports NFC. I haven’t found anything in the listings of the Matrix 3 mentioning NFC. NFC can be handy if you want to pair/connect by touch. It can be handy if you have an air war between music sources and headsets fighting to make active bluetooth connections. Both come with zippered cases.
