The speakers currently go for $100 and the Yeti for $130 (Sting is still looking for him), making the HD650 a very reasonable $270. Now if you don’t need (or can sell/trade/gift) the two extras, then it becomes a more complicated decision.

[DEAD] Ends Thursday 7pm ET: Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Over-Ears Lightning Sale for $250 [Lowest Prices before the sale around $230]
This turned out to be a goofy thing as the Lightning Deal price of $250 was higher than most of the current prices of the other color/OS combos. It looks like Amazon needs to adjust their pricing algorithms when having lightning deals of items that are already discounted or price-matched in other color schemes, otherwise they won’t generate sales and/or have unhappy customers…. A new post summarizing the best current non-lightning deal prices is coming…

Sennheiser HD600 + $150 Gift Card for $400
If you want an open-back Sennheiser HD 6xx headphone, but you prefer the HD600 or you are not interested in the previously mentioned HD650 portable bundle, there’s another option, you can get the new condition open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD600 with a $150 plastic Amazon Gift Card, all together for $400 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual.

Sennheiser HD650 + Fiio E12 Mont Blanc Amp + Fiio X3 II DAP for $550
It’s bundle time, if you happen to need all three of them, $550 gets you the Sennheiser HD650 headphones, the Fiio X3 second generation digital audio player, and the Fiio E12 Mont Blanc headphone amplifier. Click on the “show details” link there to expand it and see clickable links to the three products included (that’s where you see that the Fiio X3 is indeed the second generation). The seller is Adorama.com, an authorized dealer. No coupons, no rebates, simply add to cart and proceed.
The bundle is more of interest if you typically use a variety of devices in different situations, since the two Fiios are more portable devices, and the HD650 is an open-back 300 ohm headphone. There is one review there, the reviewer says 100 hours of non-stop white-noise greatly improved the sound. It does not say whether the reviewer was listening to those 100 hours of non-stop white noise or not 🙂

The rest of the used listings are by marketplace sellers and go for more.
Screenshot of that above. As usual, please keep in mind that used quantities are very limited typically and their prices can change more often. The text here cannot be updated automatically when something changes, and I cannot be glued to the screen 24×7 refreshing, so it may be sold out by the time you see this…
Meanwhile the new condition model currently goes for $527~ with a limit of five per customer. This price looks to be a price-match of someone else, internal or external (to Amazon).

There is a limit of two pairs per customer during this sale. Used prices currently start at $104 for these.

Sennheiser HD 650 + MAudio AV32 Speakers + Yeti USB Mic for $500
If you happen to need all three of these (or can sell/trade/gift the ones you don’t need), Amazon is back with another Sennheiser HD 650 bundle. For $500, in new condition, you get the HD 650 headphones, the M-Audio AV32 Professional Studio Monitor Speakers (3″ Woofer; $100 on their own) and the Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone (whiteout color scheme; $120 on its own). So within this bundle, assuming you place that value on those two items, the HD 650 is valued at $280.
The Gift Card Bundle is back as well, but it only comes with a $100 Gift Card this time for a total price of $500. Not a good deal.

In a parallel gift card promotion, the HD 280 Over-Ears are bundled with a $15 Amazon Gift Card for $100.
PS: the previously mentioned HD 600 and HD 650 offers are dead and the urls for those particular offers currently return 404s (it was the HD600 with $150 Gift Card for $400 and the HD650 with a $200 Gift Card for $500). The crazy 3-headphone bundles are also 404s. I don’t know if they were a limited time thing or they get activated only during special times or as price-matches. Only time will tell 🙂
Sennheiser CX Earbud Grab Bag for $29 shipped
If you are interested in the Sennheiser CX series earbuds, members-only Massdrop has another “grab bag” promotion. You pay $25 plus $4 flat shipping, and for that you receive one pair that is either the CX 1.00 (60% of the people), or one of the more expensive models (2.00 or 5.00). Randomness decides what you get, but in the worst case scenario, you get the CX 1.00. Limit two per customer during this sale which ends in about five days (from blog-posting date).
In addition to that, they have some bonus items that will be randomly won by buyers. The more units get purchased, the more bonus items get unlocked. These appear to be gear from other recent or on-going drops (TH-X00, DACport Slim, etc). The chances of getting one of these are fairly low.
These purchases will ship late April 2016, so keep that in mind if you need them to get here yesterday 🙂

Used Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 for $182+
Sennheiser is stubborn on the prices of the Momentum 2.0 Over-Ears, so if you want them right now, going used may almost halve the price, depending on which model and OS combination you want. Taking a look at the latest Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) situation shows a variety of options. As usual, be careful when buying from marketplace sellers (not AWD Actual), since almost any person or business entity can sell there.
The link above shows the lowest price for each particular combination. To see all available sellers for a particular option, click on the “See all offers for this product” links next to it. For example, the lowest price shown on the above link for the Apple Black option is $170 by a “just launched” seller. This is way too risky for most people, so when you click on the “See all offers for this product”, you will be shown the detailed listings for that particular model, which include “Used – Very Good” for $182~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.
Used Sennheiser PXC 250 II Collapsible ANC On-Ears for $54

While there, you may also notice an offer for $46 shipped by a marketplace seller in “Used – Good” condition. This one is not eligible for Prime shipping, and since you are dealing with the seller (not Amazon Customer Service) it is a higher risk purchase.
