I'm not looking for buying advice, just interested what deals you guys have found.

In the last month I've scored:
- AKG K272 HD - $18 (yes, not a typo)
- AKG K553 - $65
- CAL! - $35
- Sennheiser HD 558 - $24.99
- Sennheiser Momentum 1.0 - $40

Why? Because I'm pretty new to the hobby and wanted to experience a lot of different sounds. With prices this cheap, there's almost no risk - I can just resell most later.

When you are ready to upgrade, here are some mid-fi steals:

HE500 can be had for $ 350. were $ 1000 TOTL cans when they first
came out. Difficult to beat for that $.

HE400i are only $ 200 used and are a wonderful detailed HP.

Really liked the u-shaped Fidelio F2 Used for under $ 200.
Rockin, EDM, etc. Exciting head bangers.

I just picked up a pair of V Moda crossfades for $ 140. nice travel HP
w/ a good u shape for fun listening.

enjoy!

Do you mean the L2 or the X2? I recently picked up the L2's.... and now I'm trying to sell them.

Any particular reason why you would want to sell them right away?

They just weren't comfortable for me. The pads pushed on a weird spot behind one ear that gave me pain very quickly. The sound was good but a littler bassier than I like as well. I ended up returning them to Newegg. I tried to sell them initially because Newegg wanted a 15% restocking fee, but after nobody bought them on ebay I convinced Newegg to waive the fee.

Funnily enough, Bose stuff. I know the reputation the company has around these parts haha, but if their headphones weren't so overpriced, they would be quite good in a lower price bracket. Since Bose marketing is god-tier, a lot of people buy their products, and of course a lot of people sell theirs, so any local ad site is bound to have quite a lot. Mint condition QC25s for under 150 euro or SoundTrue Around-ears for well under 100 is pretty good for their sound, not to mention comfort-wise both of those are on another level entirely.

I've seen used hd800 go for like $425. Quite a steal for a headphoine that was $1599 just 2 years ago.

Logitech UE6000 - $40 - bought 3 for gifting. For bassheads but otherwise very good headphone. Too small of earcups for me.

HD250 / 540 / 560 can be had for very good used prices. I picked up a HD250 for $150.

HD650 - picked up for $150 Canadian !

HD700 - under $300 Canadian (easily one of fav headphone purchases so worth it)

In the last five months, I scored a new AKG K271 headphones on Amazon for $70, when they retail for $200 straight up. Plus, I got a some new Shure SRH 440 headphones on Ebay for $40, which retail at $100. Not a bad haul! I guess if you look long enough, there are audio companies/warehouses that need to get rid of old stock, and when they do, you hafta pounce!!!
