UPDATE: it is also available in the white color scheme in new condition for less than the new condition of the black color scheme. In white, it goes for $38.50 with free shipping by various on Amazon and by Focus Camera on eBay.

This is the black color scheme: Breaking news alert for bassheads. The Beyerdynamic DTX350m closed-back on-ear headphones (the “m” is important in the name, not to be confused with the “p” we mentioned yesterday) go for $52 in new condition but they are available in “Used – Good” condition for $39 and “Used – Very Good” condition for $41.60 by Amazon Warehouse Deals. The “breaking news” part is that it just got the Wall of Fame blessings of Innerfidelity ~ with video evidence.

NOTE however that 2 out of the 8 customer reviews at amazon.com say that these physically broke, one of the two reviews has pictures of the breaking point, adding another dimension to the “breaking news” 🙂

PS: this is totally in crackpot territory but the similarly looking (but not identical looking) AKG K618/K619 had fragility breakage issues and were basshead headphones.

The closed-back on-ear portable Beyerdynamic T51i headphones are currently available in “Used – Very Good” condition described to have minor cosmetic imperfections and damaged original packaging for $173~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.

Always check who the available sellers are, don’t just look at the price over there. AWD actual is part of Amazon, so you get Amazon Customer Service, fulfillment by Amazon (Amazon’s shipping service and returns, so Prime eligible), and their 30-day return window. Amazon does not make any claims of warranty offered with the product. A number of authorized dealers selling open-box items through AWD though state in the individual listings that their open-box items get warranty. So YMMV if want to claim warranty service from an AWD actual purchase.

This is a promising listing if you have the patience of wait and see. Currently there are four separate “Used – Very Good” condition listings by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual on the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Plus headphones for $121. Condition is slightly different per listing.

Strategy: since there are four listings and this is not a mass market model, if no one buys them, there is the possibility of supply putting price pressure on demand and prices dropping further down. Their new condition price is $200 for the black color scheme which is what these are. They average 4.3 out of 5 based on 56 customer reviews. These are customizable in many different ways, but Beyerdynamic is not really advertising them, so they don’t have the average consumer brand awareness that other models have. They are closed over-ears.

And now a potentially interesting used find, the black color scheme of the closed back on-ear Beyerdynamic Custom Street headphones, with their “custom slider” go for $150 in new condition but if you are comfortable with Used, you can get them in “Used – Very Good” condition (minor cosmetic imperfections, damaged original packaging) for $93~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.

As of 9pm ET re-checking, the $99 AWD options got scooped up, and the lowest used prices are now $170+…

Interesting! The Beyerdynamic DT 990 open-back headphones in the PREMIUM version with 32 ohm impedance is currently available in “Used – Very Good” condition (minor cosmetic imperfections, damaged packaging) for $99~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) Actual.

Items that ship from AWD actual come with a 30-day return policy but Amazon (AWD) does not make any promises of warranty. Items that ship from other sellers at AWD have a variety of return policies. Some are authorized dealers and state that the item comes with a warranty. Others may have a return policy. Some may be individual persons selling their own headphones and are obviously not authorized.

Please also note that used items at AWD typically have limited quantities and both their quantity and prices may change more frequently than new condition products. The listings in this blog are typed-in text, they can’t be updated automatically when the price or quantity changes.

The Beyerdynamic T51i currently go for $234~ in new condition, but if you prefer to save some more, there is a price pressure building up on them in used condition at Warehouse Deals. There are seven separate listings in “Used – Very Good” condition for around $146. There is a big gap in price between them and the “Used – Like New” which is much closer to the new condition price of $238. The multiple listings could potential push the price further down ~ other things equal.

These average 4.2 out of 5 based on 80+ customer reviews. These are closed on-ears with portable use in mind, and as the “i” suggest in the model name, they come with the 3-button MFi remote which means you get predictable button behavior with Apple’s devices, and randomess with Android and other mobile devices.
