  Monoprice.com has Monoprice Premium Headphones w/ Detachable Cable (8323) for $19.99 - 10% promotion code JUNE10 = $17.99.Shipping is free

 
Bought these for my 13 year old son several months ago. Never listened to them myself but I was impressed with build for the price, he loves them, and they still look new after 3 months when typically I'm getting out glue, soldering iron and duct tape after 2 months of his gentle use ...

  You really can't find Westone Wx/UMx at sale prices at these days as they're discontinued and a bit rare. With the exception of the UM3X RC, which seemingly got a 2015 re-release on select retailers. Though I'm not sure exactly if they made tweaks inside or merely a limited last run of UM3Xs.
 
 
Were there actual difference between the old Wx and the new Wx0 lineup? I've always thought they were just a shell + MMCX update but still uses the same driver(s).

Sweetwater has Westone UM3X RC for $249 shipped http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/UM3XRPM/?utm_source=gearnet&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=gn20150624

Yeah, these are the "re-release" mentioned previously, or just really old stock.  A couple sites have them for 250. Ive moved onto deciding between the SD-2s v Noble 4 :p...no deals to be had there though. 

 
Well, the box looks like the newer Westone boxes.
 

 
Even Westone's website still shows the old UM3X box.

AKG K545 Recertified Directly from Harman $98.88
 
Includes case and both universal (android) and apple cables/microphone and 1/4" adapter
 
These are basically K550s designed to look less dorky (smaller) for use as a portable phone.
 
I did not think they sounded quite as good as the K550s,   Harman refurbs have full original warranty.
