HiFiMan Arya Stealth Headphones - Over/On Ear Highly regarded audiophile open-back planar magnetic headphones. Hardly used and in perfect condition.

This is a buyer’s market for planar magnetics right now, and the A$880 asking price for this like-new Hifiman Arya Stealth is ambitious, sitting well above the median of A$713 and the 75th percentile of A$805 from your database. While external used listings in USD suggest a range of roughly $900–$1100 (approximately A$1,350–A$1,650), the local comparable data you anchor to clearly shows this listing is overpriced relative to the current Australian secondary market.
The Arya Stealth remains a well-regarded headphone for its refined planar magnetic clarity, smooth treble, and excellent value compared to higher-end competitors, making it a desirable upgrade from entry-level models. However, given the price sits significantly above the 75th percentile, buyers should only proceed if the listing includes original accessories, a verified original-owner history, and proof of pristine condition; otherwise, waiting for a listing closer to the A$713 median is the smarter play.
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.
