Used Mitchell and Johnson Hybrid Electrostatics: GL1 for $130, GL2 for $178
Another crowd-funded hybrid-electrostatic headphone line are the Mitchell and Johnson, whose name may remind some of name-brand shoes from the GQ ad pages 🙂 Regardless, two of their GL-series portable hybrids are available in USED condition at Amazon Warehouse Deals as follows:

+ GL2 (USED – Good) for $178~

AmazonBasics 3.5mm Coiled Stereo Audio Cable for $1.76
If you like coiled 3.5mm audio cables, you are in luck! This is back in-stock and it continues to be on sale, the new condition AmazonBasics 3.5mm Coiled Stereo Audio Cable is on sale for $1.76 each, with a limit of up to 27 cables per customer.
One catch though is that these are ADD-ON items, so you need to have a shopping cart of $25+ in eligible items. You can do this with any combination of eligible products. Or you can get 15 or more of these (you can’t buy fractional cables].
It averages 4.1 out of 5 based on 900+ customer reviews. I will be getting a couple with my next Amazon order out of curiosity. Here’s a picture from their product gallery in the meantime:

Only this color appears to be on sale this low.
There are 13 different colors of this. All together they average 3.1 out of 5 based on 12 customer reviews.

In-Stock Alert: Monoprice M565 Planars for $200
One of the headphones that came with the IFA 2017 wave [sorry, I fell behind, I still have to add a dozen more new headphones to the list] is the new Monoprice M565 planar-magnetics, an open-back set, unlike the open/closed style of the M560.
And these new M565 are now in-stock and ready to ship for $200 plus shipping at the Monoprice website, and for $211 with free shipping by Monoprice thru Amazon (not Prime eligible).
Used Hifiman HE-400i Planars for $199
The PURGE of the Latest Deals Summary has began (it will finish later today), and with it we have a bit of a price-milestone [not that headphone prices are like stock prices but still…] the used Hifiman HE-400i has dropped under $200 at Amazon Warehouse Deals, going for $199~ with free shipping by AWD actual.
This is a “USED – Very Good” with cosmetic imperfections. As of the time of writing, there are three separate listings (slightly different conditions) when you look at the detailed USED listings. The link in the first paragraph is the summary/default view that the AWD computers decide to show. The link in this paragraph shows all the used listings.
Needless to say, it’s a much more competitive planar-magnetic market these days, so you have many options to consider considering!
Massdrop O2 + SDAC DAC/Amp for $150 [ships Jan 2018]
If you are a fan of Objective way of things, currently running fully unlocked (= lowest price of this offering in Massdrop price-speak) is the Massdrop O2 + SDAC DAC/Amp, going for $150 with free shipping to the USA market, with a 1-year warranty covered by Massdrop.
NOTE: this will ship at CES 2018 time. I repeat, this will ship early January 2018, so temper the excitement in the frigid lake of patience 😉
[DEAD] Friday: Avantree Bluetooth Over-Ears for $41 (also: three BT transmitters/receivers $23 to $45)
Friday is over, and so are its daily deals…
Used Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO for $336+
The new condition closed-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO headphones go for $600 at authorized dealers, but if you want to save some, you can almost cut its price in half by going “Used – Good” condition (repackaged; various cosmetic imperfections) for $336~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.
The above is the summary view. If you dig into the detailed used listings, you will also find a handful of “Used – Very Good” condition listintg for $357, and some “Used – Like New” for $379~.
So if you don’t need to have it on your ears yesterday, the waiting game may or may not get it to you for a better price. Amazon’s prices sometimes move in mysterious ways, so it’s often more of a YMMV than stock market pricing 🙂
Used B&O Play H2 On-Ears for $69
AS you may have suspected by the increase in USED deals posts, another Amazon Warehouse Deals immersion is in progress at the moment!
We go “Deep Red” for this deal, it is the B&O Play H2 closed-back on-ears, in the “Deep Red” color scheme, available in “Used – Very Good” condition (cosmetic imperfections; damaged original packaging) going for $69~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.
There are two colors of this, the black goes for $87+ in used condition. Together they average 4 out of 5 based on 35 customer reviews. B&O Play has plenty of models running around these days.
Used RHA MA750i In-Ears for $66+
The new RHA CL1 ceramic in-ears are now in-stock and shipping but if you prefer the older RHA MA750i, the model with the mic/remote, it is on sale for $109 in new condition at amazon.com with a limit of up to three pairs per customer…
… or if you are a fan of used, used prices start at $66~ in “Used – Good” condition, and there are more listings in “Used – Very Good” for $71~ at Amazon Warehouse Deals.
The RHA MA750 (without mic/remote) goes for more in new condition options as of the time of writing, while the used prices are more of less similar.

It’s couponing time! Coupon code AVHS1660 can get you the new condition AmoVee Acrylic Headphone Stand for $8.26 in the black color scheme, sold by AmoVee with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get free 2-day shipping.

On the used side of things, the AudioQuest NightOwl Carbon closed-back over-ear headphones are available in “Used – Good” condition (missing accessories; damaged original packaging) for $542~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. The listing details seem to be a bit confusing as to which accessories are missing.
SHARKK Bravo Hybrid Electrostatic Headphone for $50
The new condition SHARKK Bravo hybrid electrostatic headphones are currently down to $50 with free shipping by BREED through amazon.com. These ship directly from BREED (that’s the marketplace seller name) and they are not Prime eligible.

Atomic Floyd SuperDarts Titanium In-Ears for $233 after coupon
The new condition Atomic Floyd SuperDarts Titanium in-ears have a 25% off Clip-ON coupon on them at Amazon by Amazon actual. You simply click to clip-on the coupon, you don’t have to type any magic numbers. The clip-on coupon is a 25% off discount on the current price of the headphones.
As of the time of writing, their price is $311~. With the coupon, the price drops to $233~. If the earphone price changes, the discount will change since it is a percentage of the current price, not a fixed amount. Amazon actual must be the seller, the coupons won’t work with other sellers.
The earphones have just four customer reviews, so your favorite search engine is your best friend to find out more about them.
Sennheiser PXC 550 ANC/BT for $300 [limit 3]

There, it averages 4.2 out of 5 based on 220+ customer reviews.
PS: Later today, I will reboot the Latest Deals Summary and remove most of the old entries there, since a number of headphones lingered there for weeks. If you want to take one last look before the reboot, check it now! The main reason for the reboot is that it has gotten way too long to read and too unyieldy to edit 🙂
