Powered non-ANC, non-Bluetooth headphones are rare, but not as rare as they used to be. Skullcandy (trigger warning for some audiophiles) has 15 different color schemes (!) for their Skullcandy Crusher Headphones with Built-in Amplifier (powered by a AA battery in the earcup) and they are on sale with varying different prices. The lowest of them is the White color scheme going for around $48 at amazon.com, with the microfloral a close second at $49~, and RealTree Dark Tan for $50. A number of sellers offer each color, check each color listing.
PS: File this under April Fool’s Day ideas: the color of the headphone affects its sound signature because …solar rays and heat absorption 🙂
PS2: speaking of powered headphones, the Blue Microphone’s Mo-Fi continues to go for $210, while the unpowered LOLA also continues for $125. Both have a few weeks estimated shipment delay.
