The new condition Plantronics Backbeat Sense Bluetooth On-Ears are now just under $70 at Amazon, but if you want to save even more, the white-brown color-scheme is available in “Used – Good” condition (cosmetic imperfections; damaged original packaging) for $48~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual…
Used B&O Play H2 Closed Wired On-Ears for $79
The “deep red” color scheme of the closed-back wired on-ear B&O PLAY H2 headphones is available in “Used – Very Good” condition (cosmetic imperfections; damaged original packaging) for $79~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. There is only one used listing for it at the moment (this one). The headphones average 3.7 out of 5 based on … 37 customer reviews. Sounds like a winning lottery number 🙂
PS: the name “deep red” may be misleading – this is not a bright red headphone – it’s just some hues and tones on a “default” headphone color scheme 🙂 Or something like that – the picture says it faster than my attempt to wordsmith it 🙂
Used Sony MDR-7520 for $219 + S&H
The Sony MDR-7520 studio headphones (not to be confused with the much cheaper 7502) are currently available in “Used – Demo condition for $219 plus shipping at Adorama.

Used Audio Technica ATH-ANC20 ANC On-Ears for $16
The Audio Technica ATH-ANC20 active noise-cancelling closed-back on-ears are currently available in “Used – Very Good” condition (minor cosmetic imperfections; damaged original packaging) for $16 with free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order through Amazon Warehouse Deals. The new condition price is $49.
This is powered by a single AA battery, so a plus for fans of rechargeables. It comes with an AT branded drawstring pouch and an angled detachable cable, so the accessories alone are probably close to being $16 in value.
The four customer reviews are evenly split between 5-stars and 1-stars.
PS: yes, another Amazon Warehouse Deals “deal fishing expedition” is in progress. More coming up later today as I process the ones earmarked by the fishing expedition.

Amazon Warehouse Deals launches “Annual Savings Event”
If you are a fan of used gear, Amazon Warehouse Deals (now with their fancier sounding “Amazon Warehouse” name and green name) has launched an Annual Savings Event sale, and among the items participating in the sale are over 5,000 headphones. I will price-check them when I can find time to dive into the Warehouse. In the mean time, you can search for your favorite brands or models using the search box over there (it has a custom search box), or filter by the various categories on the left-hand side of their website.
There’s no coupon, and no in-cart discount as far as I can tell – the price you see is the price you pay.

Used Audio Technica ATH-ESW9 headphones for $146
These appear to be not easy to find shipping from within the USA at a reasonable price, but if you are comfortable with used, the Audio Technica ATH-ESW9 headphones are available in “Used – Good” condition (no further details) for $146~ with free shipping sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.

Used Sennheiser PX 200-II On-Ears for $42.50 + S&H ($3.75 or more)
Sennheiser, like Audio Technica and AKG, mayhaps make more headphone models than most of their employees can recite without preparing the night before 😉 If of all the Sennheiser headphones it is the PX 200-II on-ears in the black color schemes the ones you want, there are currently two listings of them available at Adorama.com in “Used – Excellent” condition for $42.50 plus shipping. Shipping starts at $3.75 for my “test zipcodes” but I obviously can’t test every zipcode out there.
If/when their used inventory sells out, you will no longer see them in the search listings above.
Note that these are without mic/remote as they lack that little “i” that Sennheiser loves to use to indicate that (at least of the i-Device kind since some Androids get a “G” for Galaxy).
Used Sony MDR-7502 for $18 plus S&H ($3.75 or more)
More used action, also at Adorama, you can get the Sony MDR-7502 Closed On-Ears for $18 plus shipping. The lowest appears to be $3.75 regardless of zipcode (at least among my “test zipcodes”). The headphone weight is 5.1 ounces, so lightweight and not taking up too much space can keep S&H fees down.
If the used inventory sells out, you will no longer see it at the above search results. Their individual product links have a lot of empty spaces (four in a row) which can confuse some browsers (and definitely confuses my html editing), that’s why I am linking to the search results instead. As of the time of writing, the 7502 is third in the search results above.
Open box Sennheiser HD25 Light On-Ears for $86
