***UPDATE PRICING / LOWERED TO $550***I realized that upon very gentle cleaning, the Hifiman's stock polyester + pleather skin unfortunately started to peel. Much apologies for this finding, and I'm happy to ship free of charge to anyone in Australia. For transparency I'm including two pictures t...
Condition is unknown, but at A$615 this sits just under the A$645 median and a touch above the A$614 25th percentile, so it reads as fair-to-good value rather than a bargain. It is not cheap enough to call a steal, but it is clearly in the sensible end of the market for recent Aussie asks.
That makes sense for a well-regarded planar flagship: the tuning is known for strong detail, speed, and a spacious, clean presentation that still works across a wide range of amps.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Hifiman traces its origins to 2005, when Dr. Fang Bian, a chemist with a lifelong passion for audio electronics, founded Head-Direct in the United States as an online retailer and headphone developer. By 2007, he rebranded to Hifiman, relocating manufacturing and R&D to Tianjin, China, while maintaining sales operations in the US and beyond. This fusion of American entrepreneurial drive and Chinese production expertise propelled the brand from modest in-ear monitors to global prominence.
The company specializes in high-end headphones, particularly planar-magnetic and electrostatic models renowned for their detail and soundstage, alongside complementary portable digital audio players, headphone amplifiers, and cables. Early milestones like the 2009 HM-801—the first pocket-sized high-resolution player—and the HE-5 planar headphones established its innovative edge, with co-founder Binwu He pioneering planar technology integration.
Hifiman commands a elite position in the audiophile market as a high-end leader, delivering reference-grade performance that rivals legacy brands. Its products earn consistent acclaim for transparency and musicality, appealing to discerning buyers seeking uncompromising planar transduction without vintage pretensions or mid-tier compromises.
