Sennheiser HD 650 + M-Audio AV32 Monitors + Blue Yeti USB Mic for $500

If you happen to need all three of these (sounds like an NBA play by play line?), then this is a good deal, $500 gets you these three new condition items: the open-back Sennheiser HD 650 headphones, the M-Audio AV32 10W Studio Monitor speakers, and the Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone at Amazon by Amazon actual.

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.

This is not the only bundle offer, there are more Sennheiser + Gifts/Bundles offers running at Amazon.

[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…

Used Sennheiser RS 120 RF Wireless for $35

If you are looking for a better than entry-level RF-wireless pair of headphones and you are comfortable with used, as of the time of writing, there is one listing of the Sennheiser RS 120 in “Used – Good” condition for $35~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) by AWD actual, so it is eligible for free 2-day Prime shipping. These headphones have been around for a while, they average 4.1 out of 5 based on over 10,000 customer reviews.

This is RF wireless, not bluetooth. They are not using the Kleer protocol. That’s higher up the RS1x0 line-up. The latest generation of the RS series does not appear to be using Kleer technology (perhaps licensing fees and such).

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. Given the value of the gift card, you are essentially paying $250 for a new pair of the 600s. If you don’t need the gift card, you can easily sell/trade it for near close its actual value. Amazon gift cards are popular.

PS: a few other Sennheiser headphones are bundled with Amazon Gift Cards, but both their prices and availability (seasonal or price matches?) may change over time, so it’s something to keep an eye out for.

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 🙂

Used Sennheiser HD700 for $349 [updated]

As of 4/5/16, the price dropped further down, now $349~…

As of a 4/3/16 re-check, this dropped to $355 in Used condition…

As of the time of writing there is one listing of the open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 700 headphones in “Used – Good” condition (minor cosmetic imperfections, damaged packaging) for $355~ [was $379~] with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD) actual.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Sennheiser HD 280 PRO and $15 Gift Card for $100

If you happen to want or need the closed over-ear Sennheiser HD 280 PRO headphones right now, and you can’t wait for them to go on sale in the future, there is a gift card bundle of them at Amazon.com that bundles them with a $15 Amazon Gift Card (plastic gift card that will be mailed to you) for $100 with free shipping… Their other bundle (of four options) that has a price advantage over buying the items separately is the one with a Blue Mic Snowball Ice microphone for $110 total…

PS: another headphone that has different bundles at Amazon is the HD 380 PRO, however, as of the time of writing, none of the bundles (Gift Card or Blue Mic or Creative E1 amp) have a discount advantage. Their prices and offers change over time, but I have no idea when these bundles will become favorable.
