En klassisk hörlur som jag har svårt att skiljas från. Jag är enda ägaren. Kommer med 1 par Focus muddar sparsamt använda, 1 par nya sammet, samt 1 par nya syntet 1st 3,5mm kabel samt case. Har använts i en rök- och djurfri miljö.
Compared with a modern entry-level planar at this price, 3,000 SEK is pretty much right in the fair-to-good zone for an HE-500; recent used asks cluster around roughly 2,000–4,500 SEK equivalent, so this sits close to the middle rather than being a steal or an overreach. It’s not a bargain-bin price, but it’s reasonable if the set is complete and working well.
The HE-500 is still loved for its dense, natural mids, smooth treble, and “big” planar presentation, so it remains a very satisfying listen for vocal, acoustic, and rock fans. At this price, the real upside is getting a classic high-end planar with enduring reputation, but do verify pad wear, cable condition, and whether the headband/earcups have the usual age-related wear; if those are sorted, it’s an easy one to take seriously.
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.
