BuySonic has Grado cans--325e, 225e, 80e and 60e on sale.  I don't know the specific price of each.  However, if they are offering discounts in the % range that they did for the PS-1000e about 24 hours ago, it is worth checking out:

While at the site, you might want to check the LCD-2 & 3 as well.

Sennheiser 506086 Urbanite Wired On-Ear Mobile Stereo Audio Headphones Black iOS
59.95 ($79.95 on Amazon)

They claim to be an authorized dealer. I purchased a snow blower from them, but that's a long ways from headphones.

Following the link, I see that the vendor is VMInnovations.  I bought my Sennheiser HD518 from VMInnovations around October 2012. It was factory refurbished, with the usual Sennheiser 90-day refurbished warranty, if I remember correctly.  The short story is that I think that I have no reason to doubt that VMInnovations is a Sennheiser authorized dealer, although I am not certain of it.  For completeness, I gave the HD518 as gift to my son-in-law; he enjoys them a lot.

They're authorized. But I did have a case of them selling me something labeled as new that was clearly a return/refurb product.

these are more on-ear than around-ear..if anyone is considering


As the owner of two HD439s and two fairly typical ears on a large head, I'm inclined to disagree. They fit comfortably around my ears and head and are good for extended listening, which they would not be if they squeezed my ears.

That said, the pads are smaller and the velour less soft than the pads on the 500 series such as my HD555.

+1 Very much over ear.
