At A$700, this Naim Headline 2 is a clear bargain compared to the obvious alternative of buying a new budget headphone amp, and it sits well below its original price of over A$1400. While specific used percentiles for this model in AUD are scarce, asking half the original retail with cables included signals a strong deal for a unit that typically commands higher prices in the current market.
The Headline 2 remains a cult favorite for its ability to drive everything from 8 Ohms to 2k Ohms with 560mW per channel, offering clean, dynamic sound that rivals far more expensive designs. Its compact 121mm width and robust build make it a perfect desktop or small-system centerpiece, and getting it with original cables at this price is a genuine buying opportunity for any enthusiast seeking Naim’s signature clarity without the new-price penalty.

Naim Audio, a cornerstone of British hi-fi excellence, traces its origins to 1973 when Julian Vereker, a self-taught engineer, racing driver, and music enthusiast, formally incorporated the company in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Vereker's journey began earlier, in 1969, experimenting with tape recording and sound-to-light boxes before designing his first power amplifier in 1971. Amid the British hi-fi industry's recession, he secured a pivotal contract with Capital Radio, blending entrepreneurial grit with a passion for authentic sound reproduction that challenged conventional wisdom.
The brand specializes in premium integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital streamers, DACs, and compact music systems, often featuring built-in amplification for streamlined setups. While not delving into speakers—beyond a historical foray—or headphones and turntables, Naim emphasizes modular, upgradable components that prioritize pace, rhythm, and timing (PRaT), a signature sonic philosophy rooted in the "source first" approach alongside contemporaries like Linn.
Naim holds a commanding position in the high-end market, revered by discerning audiophiles for its handmade, innovative systems that deliver emotional musical engagement over mere specifications. Now part of VerVent Audio Group following a 2011 merger with Focal, it exports to over 45 countries, sustaining a cult following for resilient, influential designs that transcend economic cycles.
