Tesla time! The closed-back over-ear portable (okay, “portable”) Beyerdynamic T70p headphones are currently available in “Used – Good condition” for $261~ or “Used – Very Good condition” for $279 (many listings) by Amazon Warehouse Deals. The number of used options may suggest that price pressure may build on the used prices and cause them to drop (only speculation, I cannot see the future!)
Used Beyerdynamic T51i for $187 (was $207)
On the portable on-ears front, the Beyerdynamic T51i Tesla headphones with a 3-button remote/mic (as the lowercase “i” indicates) are available in “Used – Very Good” condition for $187 (was $207~) at Amazon Warehouse Deals. There are multiple listings of this, so there is the possibility of price pressure dropping the used prices down.
