Condition unknown, but A$70 looks like a very good buy for these. Hifiman’s own current refurbished pricing sits around A$229 equivalent at the listed US special price, and open-box pricing can land around A$103 equivalent, so A$70 is comfortably below that and looks like a bargain rather than a stretch.
That makes it worth serious attention if the pads, headband, cable, and cups are intact. The HE-R9 is a fun, easy-to-like closed-back with a big, smooth presentation and plenty of bass weight, so a clean unit at this price has real upside for everyday listening. Only ask for photos and a quick function check if anything looks rough, because at this price the main question is simply whether it’s complete and working properly.

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.
