[DEAD] Used Philips Fidelio X2 for $147 (higher risk)

As of a 12/26/15 recheck, the lowest used condition price has now jumped to $180+ at Amazon Warehouse Deals…

The Philips Fidelio X2 were one of the Black Friday week offers for $200 at Amazon but since then, shoppers have been reporting problems with the headphones they received. Amazon put a warning of this and they are not currently selling the X2 themselves (other marketplace sellers still offer it).

This issue has apparently lowered the used prices of the X2, you can now get it for $147~ in “Used – Very Good” condition by Amazon Warehouse Deals. However, there is no way of knowing ahead of time whether the used headphones you purchase will be impacted by the issues or not. So this is for high risk shoppers until things get settled down. The Amazon Warehouse Deals return policy is that items “can be returned within 30 days of receipt of shipment in most cases”.

UPDATE: since the original post, the “Used – Good” condition for $144 got purchased. The next lowest price is $147~ but in “Used – Very Good” condition.

So to summarize, if you are risk averse, wait until the dust settles. On the other hand if you are a boldly going shopper, and don’t object to returning items, then it’s up to you to decide…
