Sellers however, partially depending on their authorized dealer status, may offer a variety of warranties. The individual listing for their offer has the details.

PS: the description says “missing earbuds”. I’m assuming that means it’s missing the eartips, not the actual “earbuds”, earbuds as in earphones. They wouldn’t sell a decapitated pair of earphones 🙂

Used Blue Satellite Bluetooth for $228

The prices are dropping for the used Blue Satellite Bluetooth headphones. They go for $400 in new condition but used prices are almost cut in half, starting at $228 in “Used – Very Good” condition with multiple listings at Amazon Warehouse Deals. This links shows Amazon’s summary of both used/new.

This link shows all the used options, which includes “Used – Like New” for $242~.

There are multiple listings for each condition, so if you are not in a hurry to receive it, you can babysit it and see if they drop further. Multiple factors play into the used prices at Amazon, it’s hard to predict, since supply and demand are not the only things that affect price (eg price of the new condition model drops or goes up, prices go up or down for seasonal sales, etc, etc, etc).

The headphones average 3.1 out of 5 based on just 13 customer reviews, so both numbers are cause for concern. In other words, what the numbers are suggesting, if you are not already familiar with these headphones, be sure to read up on them before buying.

Used Mitchell and Johnson Hybrid Electrostatics: GL1 for $130, GL2 for $178

Another crowd-funded hybrid-electrostatic headphone line are the Mitchell and Johnson, whose name may remind some of name-brand shoes from the GQ ad pages 🙂 Regardless, two of their GL-series portable hybrids are available in USED condition at Amazon Warehouse Deals as follows:

+ GL1 (USED – Very Good) for $130~

+ GL2 (USED – Good) for $178~
+ CORRECTED LINK

Used Hifiman HE-400i Planars for $199

The PURGE of the Latest Deals Summary has began (it will finish later today), and with it we have a bit of a price-milestone [not that headphone prices are like stock prices but still…] the used Hifiman HE-400i has dropped under $200 at Amazon Warehouse Deals, going for $199~ with free shipping by AWD actual.

This is a “USED – Very Good” with cosmetic imperfections. As of the time of writing, there are three separate listings (slightly different conditions) when you look at the detailed USED listings. The link in the first paragraph is the summary/default view that the AWD computers decide to show. The link in this paragraph shows all the used listings.

Needless to say, it’s a much more competitive planar-magnetic market these days, so you have many options to consider considering!

Used Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO for $336+

The new condition closed-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO headphones go for $600 at authorized dealers, but if you want to save some, you can almost cut its price in half by going “Used – Good” condition (repackaged; various cosmetic imperfections) for $336~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.

The above is the summary view. If you dig into the detailed used listings, you will also find a handful of “Used – Very Good” condition listintg for $357, and some “Used – Like New” for $379~.

So if you don’t need to have it on your ears yesterday, the waiting game may or may not get it to you for a better price. Amazon’s prices sometimes move in mysterious ways, so it’s often more of a YMMV than stock market pricing 🙂

Used B&O Play H2 On-Ears for $69

AS you may have suspected by the increase in USED deals posts, another Amazon Warehouse Deals immersion is in progress at the moment!

… or if you are a fan of used, used prices start at $66~ in “Used – Good” condition, and there are more listings in “Used – Very Good” for $71~ at Amazon Warehouse Deals.

The RHA MA750 (without mic/remote) goes for more in new condition options as of the time of writing, while the used prices are more of less similar.

Used AudioQuest NightOwl Carbon Closed Over-Ear for $542

On the used side of things, the AudioQuest NightOwl Carbon closed-back over-ear headphones are available in “Used – Good” condition (missing accessories; damaged original packaging) for $542~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual.
