Taken from slickdeals:
 
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00M3NZKA2/  Sennheiser Urbanite XL IOS version - Amazon Warehouse (used) - $54.71 Very Good - $58.13 Like New
A bunch available if you scroll through the pages.
 
http://www.amazon.com/b?node=10158976011 There should be a headphone deal near the bottom of the page, those are some of the discounted AWD headphones, some aren't bad prices, but the Urbanite XL is the best Over Ear Deal I could find through camelcamelcamel.

I see a ton of awd's for hd598 black se $74. Why is that?

They may have gotten a bunch of returns from black friday and it may have taken forever to inspect everything among the mountain of other stuff they have inspect everyday. Amazon seems to be taking a while for a few things here and there.
 
My brother ordered a motherboard right after christmas and they were out of stock of it but still sold it to him. After 2 weeks of it not shipping even though it said it was in stock he contacted support and they said they got a whole bunch of them in the warehouse but were too backlogged to do inventory. Another 2 weeks later they finally sent it out to him.
 
headphones.com Stay updated on headphones.com at their sponsor profile on Head-Fi.

yup this usually happens. It happened with the original HD598 as well over a year ago, saw a good amount of those on AWD. The only drawback is that it probably doesnt have warranty on those used or open HD598 SE.........

The original ivory color is 88.36 from AWD.

Wasn't there an issue? Like an investigation? I'm considering jumping on the deal, but I remember hearing rumblings and there are apparently 60 used, very goods for sale.


There was on the X2, but I don't recall there being one on the hd598.

Everyone sort of panicked that they had gotten forgeries because the Sennheiser authentication app said they weren't real. Amazon and Sennheiser clarified that was because they were so newly made they weren't in the authentication system yet, the design of the headphone (the black special edition) was very new and only made for Amazon, so there weren't forgeries.
 
All in all, nothing of note was a problem.

They're probably all the ones people returned for quality issues.

YMMV, but I bought one for $151 and I love it.  I took a risk since Amazon has such a good return policy.  I don't think I could have gotten anything better for $150 or less.
