Sennheisers HD 599 open-back headphones were already a great deal at $199, but right now Amazon has them for just $99, which is borderline ridiculous. Open-back headphones are basically the exact opposite of noise-canceling headphones. The earcups aren’t fully enclosed, which allows them to integrate your music into the ambient sound happening around you. It’s an amazing experience that fancy audiophiles love. It’s like having Dire Straits performing right in your living room.

This is even lower than the price we saw on Black Friday for these, so go grab them while they’re still in-stock.
