Used Philips X1/28 for $177 to $183 [updated]
If you are banging your head trying to decide between the brand new open-back over-ear Philips X2 (in-stock estimate February 11) or the previous generation X1, one way to break the deadlock is to consider the situation from a new vs used perspective. If you are going to get the previous generation model (X1), it goes for $250 in new condition which is too close to the $300 price of the X2.
Instead, you could go for the X1 in used condition, available in multiple listings ranging from $177 to $183 (“Good” to “Very Good”) at Amazon Warehouse Deals. Since there are multiple listings and a newer model, market forces may push the price of the used X1s further down. Prices updated 2/12/15.

Used Focal Spirit One for $80 to $83 [falling knife alert!]
UPDATE (2/3/15 at 4:05pm ET): the prices dropped by $6 since the previous update
UPDATE (2/2/15 at 7:29pm ET): the prices dropped by $10 since I posted this last night!
Focal is a well known company, but names don’t make the headphones. Their Spirit One headphones were not as well received by audiophiles as well as their Classic and Professional over-ears. After all, the “One” were targeting more of a consumer sound, with an Apple 3-button mic/remote. Regardless, they are currently available in Used condition with multiple listings at Amazon Warehouse Deals. The “Used – Good” condition go for $80 (was $86, was $96), while “Used – Very Good” for $83 (was $89, was $99). Since there are multiple listings, and if these don’t get scooped up, there is the possibility of the prices dropping further down. These are not the latest model in their line-up.

But it looks like the pink is in “Used – Very Good” condition for $8.38 without any comments about missing parts. The reviews are shared between these in-ears and also on-ears, so the average does not tell the story.
