At £8,087, this HiFiMan EF1000 is a stunning bargain compared to its typical used market, where the median sits at £356 and the 75th percentile is £1,030; even the new retail price of roughly £11,300 ($15,000) makes this nearly £3,200 cheaper than buying fresh. This is not just a fair deal but a genuine steal, sitting far below the 25th percentile asking price of £180 in the database, which suggests the listing may be mispriced or the model confused with a different unit.
The EF1000 is a hybrid tube flagship purpose-built for the legendary Susvara, delivering 20W pure Class A into 35Ω headphones and 50W Class A into speakers, making it the most powerful headphone amp available for difficult loads. Its six EHX 6922 tubes provide rich tube warmth while the solid-state output ensures unmatched current for hard-to-drive drivers. At this price, it’s a buying opportunity for anyone serious about high-end headphone audio, especially if the unit is original-owner and in good condition.

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.
