Sennheiser HD 600 for $250
There is a quickening in the sales as we are just one week away from Black Friday. The Sennheiser HD600 definitely stood the test of time (they are still around and still recommended despite all the newer and fancier models out there), and they are now on sale for $250 with free shipping at Adorama.com (authorized dealers)… If you are between this and the HD650 check the post below as well, they are on sale too!
Sennheiser HD 650 for $300
The other part of the Sennheiser dilemma is on sale as well, the open-back over-ears HD650 are on sale, in new condition, for $300 with free shipping at Adorama.com, an authorized Sennheiser dealer… There are volumes and volumes written about these and amp-ing and also about deciding whether to get them or the HD600. It’s good to have choices, until/unless you get into an analysis-paralysis state 🙂
Headphone Duet for $400: Sennheiser HD 600 + Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (80 ohm)
A developing new trend perhaps in the world of headphone shopping, Amazon too is now in the game of headphone duets (I think that’s a good name to give this trend?). By “duets’ I mean they bundle two headphones and sell them together for one low(er) price. This particular bundle, sold by Amazon actual pairs the open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 600 headphones with the Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro (80 ohm) closed-back over-ear headphones. These are new condition with manufacturer warranties.
PS: an easy way to remember the Beyerdynamic open/closed DT-famous models, the higher the number the more open they get: 770 is closed, 880 is semi-open, 990 is open for the whole universe to hear 🙂
Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Over-Ears for $250
In parallel with the On-Ears mentioned below, the over-ear closed-back second generation (aka 2.0) Sennheiser Momentums are on sale for $250 with free shipping, available in multiple color-schemes and in either Android or Apple in-line remote configurations at Amazon by Amazon actual. The limit is five per customer… They average 4.4 out of 5 based on 78 customer reviews…

This sold out (or got yanked)… The open-back Grado SR125i headphones (previous generation in smartphone-speak) are available in refurbished condition for $115 with free shipping by Brainstorm LLC with the order fulfilled by Amazon (eligible for Prime). These are seller-refurbished, since there’s no mention of manufacturer-refurbished in the listing.
Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (250 ohm) for $120 after $30 MIR
The open-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (250 ohm) are currently going for $120 after a $30 mail-in rebate, with free shipping, at Adorama.com. Details on the rebate in the PDF instructions. This particular rebate offer can only be used at Adorama and it expires 11/19/15.
PS: if you don’t want to deal with the mail-in rebate, $150 is not a bad price either. It still beats Amazon’s $160.
PS: if you can’t easily remember which ones are open and closed in this Beyerdynamic line-up, here’s a little mnemonic for the DT 770, 880 and 990. The higher the number, the more open they get. The 770 is closed, the 880 is semi-open, and the 990 is open.
