Two back to back Sennheiser IE in-ear sales. First up, the new condition Sennheiser IE80 go for the very specific price of $206.61 at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three units per customer.
These average 4.3 out of 5 based on 300+ customer reviews. They have just under a 7:1 “review intensity ratio” at the moment. The more reviews are published, the more useful the “review intensity ratio” is since it can “absorb” review aberrations (haters, lovers, shills, the confused, the clueless, etc).
Sennheiser IE60 In-Ears for $117 [limit 3]
Sennheiser sale time continues! The new condition Sennheiser IE60 in-ears are currently on sale for $117~ at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three units per customer. This is not a lightning deal.

They average 3.9 out of 5 based on 360 customer reviews over there. Their review intensity ratio is just over 7:1.
PS: the “Review Intensity Ratio” is a metric I use to look at the intensity in the reviews, the lovers (5-stars) versus the haters (1-stars). This metric alone should never be used to make a purchase decision, but it is a handy data point.
Used Sennheiser Momentum In-Ears for $50
If you want to get a piece of Sennheiser Momentum “history” (they are rebranded as HD1 in the USA), stay tuned to the used Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) listings for the Momentum In-Ears in the Black-Chrome iOS version. There are currently many listings as “Used – Very Good” condition for $50~ by AWD actual, and given the number of units, other things equal, time should put some pressure on those prices and drop them further down. As usual with these type of things, your guess is as good as mine as to when and by how much…
Sennheiser HD650 for $316
If you are interested in getting the Sennheiser HD 650 right now (and are not swayed by dreams of the $200 Massdrop HD 6XX), the HD 650 is available in new condition at a couple of authorized dealers for $316, Adorama and Amazon actual.
If you don’t need/want to get one right away, patience or used the market is a reasonable course of action. Sennheiser reloaded their HD5** and HD4** line-ups but other than the Massdrop HD6XX, the HD6** hasn’t been updated. Even the HD8** line-up got an update with the HD800S. So it’s probably only a matter of time before something new comes in. But only Sennheiser knows for certain 🙂
Sennheiser HD 461 Closed Over-Ears for $37 w/FS
Sennheiser ushered out an insane number of new HD 5XX and 4XX headphones, in a way doing them a disservice since individual models don’t have the space to bloom like pour-over coffee, instead they get compressed like the soundstage of an SMS Audio closed-back on-ear headphone, making it hard for any of them to break out. I suppose that’s what early adopters and reviewers are for 🙂
Which brings us to the closed-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 461 going for $38 with free shipping in both iOS and Android button configuration by NewEgg actual and iPhone-buttons only by Amazon actual.
Sennheiser IE60 in-ears for $109

If you can’t wait for the next Sennheiser HD 598 CS sale in new condition for $100, it is available in “Used – Good” condition for $68 and “Used – Very Good” for $72 by Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD). On the other hand, if you don’t need it right away, but you still prefer used, you may want to wait until the new condition goes on sale, it may (there’s no guarantee) push the used prices down as well. As usual when buying used at AWD, make sure you check who the sellers are. If you want to lower risk, buy from AWD actual and any recognizable sellers. Things that ship directly from marketplace sellers have a higher risk since Amazon actual has the least amount of control on the transaction.
