€299 is above the 75th percentile versus your recent EUR comps, so this reads ambitious rather than fair for a used pair. With a median at €210 and the upper quartile at €231, the asking price is asking for a meaningful premium that the current market data do not support.
That said, the SP-5 is a genuinely respected closed-back headphone: it’s known for strong detail, solid isolation, and a monitoring-style presentation that makes it useful both for tracking and critical listening. If this listing is truly clean, complete, and lightly used, the appeal is in getting a well-regarded pro-grade headphone that still holds up sonically; but at €299 I’d want original accessories, excellent cosmetic condition, and ideally some sign of careful ownership before paying up.

ADAM Audio traces its origins to March 1999, when it was founded in Berlin, Germany, by Klaus Heinz amid the city's pulsating techno scene near Moritzplatz. Emerging as Advanced Dynamic Audio Monitors, the company quickly distinguished itself through innovative engineering, particularly the development of its signature Accelerated Ribbon Technology (ART) tweeter. Inspired by Oskar Heil's 1960s Air Motion Transformer, this handcrafted driver—still produced in Berlin—employs a pleated diaphragm to move air four times faster than traditional designs, delivering exceptional transparency and speed from the outset.
The brand focuses exclusively on professional studio monitors, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Its active loudspeakers, from the iconic early-2000s S Series like the breakthrough S3A to modern lines featuring X-ART and U-ART tweeters, prioritize precision for recording, mixing, and mastering. This singular dedication to nearfield and midfield monitors has solidified ADAM's role in pro audio workflows.
ADAM Audio commands a premium position in the professional market, revered by sound engineers for sonic excellence, reliability, and benchmark-setting clarity. As an independent Berlin manufacturer, it caters to high-end studios and discerning home recordists, maintaining a global reputation built on over 25 years of innovation without corporate dilution.
