While the hype machine is revving up for the new HD 660 S2 [see our in-stock alert], Sennheiser is also quietly giving practical discounts on some of its other open-back headphones. Case in point, the new condition HD 599 over-ears in the ivory color-scheme is going for almost $116 at Amazon by Amazon actual, with up to three per customer.
It looks like this may be a price-match of a marketplace seller, but that’s just my speculation…

Why this and why at this price over the many other options out there? This question has been answered, is currently being answered, and will also be getting answered in the future, just check your favorite audio forums, blogs, YouTubes and social media!
Speaking of the Sennheiser open-backs, let’s revisit them, if it’s the HD 560 S the one you want, it is currently going for $146 by a trio of sellers at the Amazon website, including Amazon herself and World Wide Stereo.
IF of all the Sennheiser open-back headphones it is the HD 650 the one you want, in new condition, it is on sale for a limited time for $299 at Adorama as one of their daily deals…
Why this and not the other HD options from Sennheiser or from Hifiman or from any of the other makers? well, there many and more forum threads and comment sections discussing this ab eterno 🙂
The Sennheiser sale at Amazon includes many well-known non-Massdrop Sennheiser headphones, from the consumer and Momentum but also the open-back tiers!

Speaking of Prime Deals, Amazon has three pages of headphone offers…
Setting aside the philosophical question of “when prices go up, what is really a discount then?”, we have two of the much-discussed Sennheiser affordable wired open-back over-ears on sale at Massdrop!
We start with the biggest star of them all, the the HD-6XX headphone going “down” to $199 with free US shipping with a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Per the listing this is made in Romania. Thankfully it’s an “in-stock drop” so it should be in about two business day after your purchase/payment!
Same as above on the logistics and shipping is the “deputy” the HD-58X Jubilee dropping down to $149 with free US shipping and free returns.
You could even buy them both for about the price of a Bose/Beats/Sony ANC/BT hype headphone 🙂
Optionally Massdrop offers an optional 3-year Drop warranty with Accidental Coverage for +$40 and +$30 respectively.
The ivory version of the Sennheiser HD 599 wired open-back over-ear is on general sale for $150 at authorized dealers such as B&H Photo BUT if you prefer the black Special Edition, it is on sale as part of the Prime Days festivities for $180 at Amazon by Amazon, up to three per customer at the sale price…
Best Buy has Friday Sennheiser on their mind! As one of their Friday 6/10/22 daily deals, they are offering the new condition over-ear closed-back RF wireless Sennheiser RS 195 RF headphones for $300 with free US shipping.
These are not bluetooth! They come with a charging/transmitted base, and the HDR 195 headphones/receiver. Cables and power adapters are included along with 2 AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries.
They no longer use Kleer technology in their RF-wireless headsets…
If you are a fan of open-box headphones, Sennheiser’s good old wired open-back over-ear HD 650 is offered in open-box condition for $249 plus shipping (starts around $10) at ADorama’s website. Per the listing this only ships to US addresses…
Needless to say, plenty has been written about the HD 600, 650, 6XX, the 5-series, and the competitors from other manufacturers, so the search-engine is your friend if interested in various trade-offs and comparisons.
Party on Wayne! It is April 20! And what a coincidence, Massdrop is having their 10-Year April Anniversale featuring 17 Massdrop-X co-branded headphones, three of which are IEMs and four are gaming headsets.
Of the audiophile over-ears, they have Dan Clark Aeons, Sennheiser HD-XXX options, Hifiman planars, and one each from Focal, BeyerDee and Senor Speakers (aka Mr Speakers)…
The IEMs are Noble, Grell and JVC…
This is a limited time offer…
PS: “anniversale” is a shortcut for “Anniversary Sale” 🙂
Anker is back for Monday 3/14/22 with an Amazon Gold Box sale featuring a soccer team (eleven) of their products, a mix of over-ear ANC/bluetooths and truly-wireless with prices ranging from $60 to $97. Too many to list here individually…
Then at the Woot daily deals, under “Clearance” they have the new condition Razer Nari Essential Wireless 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset: THX Spatial Audio for $40… Note that these ship in the (theoretically and hopefully) more environmentally-friendly frustration-free packaging, not the retail packaging…
Finally among the BEst BuY DaiLy DeaLz for 3/14/22 they offer the new condition Sennheiser Momentum 2 truly-wireless for $190…
Best Buy strikes back with their Thursday daily deals where one of the “Bonus” deals of the day is the new condition closed-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 458BT ANC/bluetooth headphones in the black/red “exclusive” color scheme going for $80 with free US shipping and extended returns.

Staying at the Best Buy dailies linked above, they have the Jabra Elite 85t truly wireless for $140.
Another day, another budget truly-wireless at the NewEgg dailies, they have the MPOW M12 going for around $12 with free US shipping. And they are USB-C 🙂

Sennheiser can’t quit the “400” number it seems 🙂 They have announced and it is already released, in-stock and ready to ship at Adorama for $250 is their new open-back (yes, OPEN BACK) studio headphone, the “HD 400 PRO”!
It comes with two cables (one straight, one coiled) and the usual 2-year Sennheiser warranty. No bags or carrying case in the official kit…

If you are looking for low-priced yet name-brand earphones and you want the iOS 3-button configuration (with a 3.5mm connector, not Lightning), good until 11/30/21 at 11:59pm eastern time, New York’s finest B&H Photo is offering the new condition Sennheiser CX 2.00i stubby IEMs for $15 with free US shipping.
You can buy as many as you want. They average 4.2 out of 5 based on 83 customer reviews. The only included accessory is extra eartip sizes. Yet despite the price, you still get a 2-year warranty.
If you are looking for a budget closed-back headphone with nice thick earpads and detachable cable, then $50 is what it takes to get the new condition wired closed-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 400S at authorized dealers such as Amazon and the official online Sennheiser store and B&H Photo and Adorama…
I haven’t seen or touched the HD 400S, but I’ve had an older version, the HD 4.20S, here’s our text and pictures unboxing of that… Sadly the HD 4.20S cable was NOT detachable. So Sennheiser can learn over time 🙂
More Sennheiser x Massdrop action, also part of their Black Friday festivities, you can have the new condition wired Sennheiser PC-37X gaming headset for $95 with the usual 2-year manufacturer warranty and an early December 2021 shipment estimate…
It is good to have options! As part of the Black Friday festivities, Massdrop is having a sale on a couple of wired open-back over-ear options for $180 each!
One option is their “own” Sennheiser HD 6XX and the other option is the generally available Sennheiser HD 560S…
Or you can buy them both and spend in the rest of 2022 writing comparison posts on reddit and headfi and Zeosfi and such 😉
The HD 560S goes for $180 elsewhere as well, BUT if your Massdrop order total is $250+, you can earn a $20 promotional bonus as part of their Black Friday bonus promotion…
