Hifiman HE-350 for $77 w/free S&H [one left]

This was going for $85 the last time we posted about it three weeks ago, but as of the time of writing, the new condition Hifiman HE-350 dynamic over-ear headphones are available at Blinq.com for $77 with free shipping.

Per the listing over there, there is only one unit available…

Blinq is a clearing house type of a seller, they get overstocks, returns and such, and resell them, so there is a higher risk than buying brand new at the major retailers. With risk come rewards, namely lower prices. They also offer a 30-ady return policy.

Hifiman Edition S Open/Closed Dynamic On-Ears for $129

The Hifiman eBay store is getting an early start on the Black Friday festivities, they have also discounted their open/closed Hifiman Edition S headphones from $149 to $129 in the black color scheme.

If you prefer to shop at Amazon, or if you want either color scheme, fear not, there are multiple Amazon listings on them for $129 and Prime eligible offered by the Hifiman Amazon store at these prices.

These are dynamic on-ear headphones. Their claim to fame is the “open/close” option which is fairly rare.

PS: the white color scheme’s name includes “lightning” in it. It’s part of the name. It does NOT have a lightning cable connector for Apple devices. To paraphrase REM, it’s part of the “Adventures in Chi-Fi” 🙂
