A developing new trend perhaps in the world of headphone shopping, Amazon too is now in the game of headphone duets (I think that’s a good name to give this trend?).

This particular bundle, sold by Amazon actual pairs the open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 600 headphones with the Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro (80 ohm) closed-back over-ear headphones.

Refurbished open-back Sennheiser RS 185 RF Wireless for $147

The open-back over-ear Sennheiser RS 185 RF Wireless headphone (headphones and base/transmitter) are currently available in refurbished condition for $140 plus $7 shipping by Adgtron through Amazon Warehouse Deals. These ship from Adgtron, so they are not eligible for Prime shipping.

Refurbished Sennheiser Momentum On-Ears 2.0 starting at $105

The new condition price of the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 On-Ears is kinda stubborn at $200+, but if you want the 2.0, and don’t object to going refurbished, depending on your color-scheme and “OS” preference, you can get them as low as $105 shipped.

This is a bit complicated because you have to navigate the listings of the four different colors and the operating system (iOS or Android – the cable connection really). This listing shows the lowest prices per color/OS which at the moment are $105 for Apple in Black and $125 for Android in ivory. The seller of both is Agtron (96%, ships from Florida), which describes them as “NEW IN OPEN BOX. STILL IN ORIGINAL RETAIL BOX, AUTHORIZED SENNHEISER DEALER, SHIPS IN 1 DAY”.

The above link only shows you the lowest prices. You can also adjust the settings over there (see screenshot below) by selecting a particular color (first block of thumbnails) or a particular OS (second block of thumbnails)

momentum2_options_oct2015

So, for example, if you select the Apple / Black combo you will see more options.

The above are the refurbished links. Most of the action at Amazon Warehouse Deals happens in the Used tab, which is perhaps why the Used prices by Adgtron are slightly higher.
