    I know the specs of each and how I would configure them, and although the Envy 15B comes out to be about $350 more, I MUCH prefer the look of it to the Envy 14. I'm willing to spend the extra $350 on it assuming I can sell the included Beats headphones which I've heard are worth around $300-$400.

    So, I guess my question is, any idea how much the headphones are selling for? Is there any real demand for them? If I purchase the 15B I need to be fairly confident that I could sell the headphones for at least $200.

    Allegedly there's also a Envy 14 beats on the way. No ETA though. But it's listed in the Service manual. You can see a link to the service manual in the E14 owner's lounge 1st page.

    Just thought I'd throw that out there in case you are interested.

    Thanks! I was unaware of that! I would prefer a Beats E14, so I'll wait a few weeks and see.

    Abouts the Headphones...there's quite a demand for them I'm pretty sure you can sell them for about $200 - $300. I actually sold mine for $250 and they retail for $350 in stores

    Ok, great! I'll probably pick up the E15 Beats if now launch date is revealed for the E14 Beats before August.
