A marketplace seller fulfilled by Amazon is currently offering the new condition Definitive Technology Symphony 1 Executive Over-Ears with ANC and bluetooth for $100 with free shipping and handling.

Refurbished AKG K495 ANC On-Ears for $70 w/free 2nd-day Air
Monday is here which means another round of weekly deals at the official Harman/JBL stores. The sales including the recertified AKG K-495 ANC On-Ears going for $70 with free 2nd-day air and 1-year warranty.
Many of the six customer reviews there complain of bad construction and breakage, so keep that in mind, especially if you are planning to use them in adventurous situations or have a bigger head (the full extension puts more pressure on a fragile headphone). I’ve had a different model of their on-ears and it just broke off at the extension area without any rough handling. Because of my not so tiny head, I had to wear it fully extended. So if you hate returns/exchanges, this is a higher risk item.
