worth of headset How much does astro a40's cost used? (2013 edition)

[FreshMeat]

Hello! I am going to sell my used pair of astro a40's to upgrade to a pair of sennheiser hd 598. I was wondering how much i can sell them for! (Im not that good with used prices!)

I bought them in the early 2014's and have been using them almost everyday for 1-2 hours with exceptions like on vacations and some days where i have been using them for more for example 3-5 hours.

 

Also should i have a soundcard or dac/amp to drive the headphones (sennheiser 598).

 

thanks in advance for answering

Used gear should be sold for 40-60% current new street price. Subtract from that based on wear and desirability of the product.

Good thing that you got that Should part in, because a lot of people will try and sell their things with 15% off maybe 20% off. OP look at the prices on the used marked and then set your price at about the same maybe a little lower if you want to sell them faster.

no need for dac or amp for 598. im running the hd 558 off onboard and its great

oh get the 558 they sound 95% the same and there is a really simple mod to get them to sound 100% the same. Just forget the amp and dac, if you are unsure about the amp and dac part read this.
