Sennheiser headphones on sale — save $180 on Amazon

TL;DR: Amazon has these glorious on-ear Sennheiser headphones on sale for just $319, saving you 36%.

There are a lot of good ways to spend a couple hundred bucks, but for serious audiophiles, the choice is obvious: Get a pair of Sennheiser headphones, or don’t bother listening to anything ever again, you heathen. 

In all seriousness, the high-end German brand is in a league of its own in terms of both craftsmanship and sound quality; at nearly 75 years old, it’s one of the most experienced companies out there. As such, its typically high prices are pretty much par for the course — you get what you pay for, and you’re paying for the best technology on the market.

All this is to say: Given the value and usual cost of a pair of Sennheisers, it’s smart to take advantage of a sale when you find one. 

As luck would have it, we happened to stumble upon one today on Amazon: You can get the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones for under $320, which is a 36% discount on their suggested retail price of $499.99. (They’re still full price on the Sennheiser site, so don’t even bother shopping there if you want a deal.)

Having been optimized for high-resolution recordings, each pair of the 650s is made from specially designed acoustic materials to produce a gorgeous, natural sound with minimal distortion. They’ve been equipped with lightweight aluminum voice coils for a sensitive dynamic response, as well as high-power neodymium magnets for maximized efficiency — so even when your music is turned way up, it still sounds really good.

The 650s come with a Kevlar-reinforced connecting cable that measures nearly 10 feet long, as well as a two-year international warranty.

Here’s what Amazon reviewer Shelby had to say about their 650s:

“Just got these. I listen to a wide range and variety of music and these are AMAZING. Every single song is a euphoric experience and almost orgasmic. So crisp and clear. You can turn it up loud and there is no blasting, if you are some one who wants to get lost in your music and absorb the sound these are for you. Super comfortable, your ears don’t get sore. You could wear them for hours. The cord is VERY long and thick, just and fyi. But I don’t even care. So great. Highly recommend.”

Grab a pair on Amazon for just $319.
