Astell&Kern Michelle; with 4 IEMs Headphones - In Ear Monitors Up for sale are my much enjoyed A&K Michelle's - they've been a much loved set of cans for me, but now with the trend towards wireless audio, they aren't seeing much use. What's included: 2 x sets of the IEMs 2 x 2.5mm balanced - 2 pin cables (unused) 1 x set of silicone ear tips (cleaned/disinfected) 2 x carry case 1 x cleaning tip 1 x box Please note there is no 3.5mm - 2 pin cable included, as the one I used are on their last legs. Why 2 sets? To cut a long story short, I ended up having issues with the sound cutting out
At A$500, this sits below the A$622 median but above the A$244 25th percentile, so it reads as a reasonable, slightly buyer-friendly asking price rather than a steal. It is not cheap enough to call a bargain on the numbers alone, but it is comfortably under the middle of the market and well short of the A$921 75th percentile.
The appeal here is the package: Astell & Kern gear is generally well-regarded for premium build, clean sound, and strong portable performance, and the inclusion of four IEMs adds real value if they are genuine, working, and fit your ears. For a used bundle like this, the key upside is getting a lot of listening options in one shot; just make sure the cable set, tips, cases, and player condition are all as advertised, because with mixed bundles the accessories often decide whether it is a good buy or just an okay one.

Astell&Kern emerged from South Korea's rich audio heritage, launching its first product in 2012 and officially founding as a brand in 2013 in Seoul. Rooted in the legacy of iriver's MP3 players dating back to 1999, the company—now a subsidiary of Dreamus—embodies a philosophy drawn from its name: "Astell" (Latin for star) and "Kern" (German for core), symbolizing an unrelenting pursuit of music's original sound. This origin story reflects decades of accumulated expertise in premium audio craftsmanship.
The brand focuses on high-fidelity portable and home audio solutions, excelling in digital audio players (DAPs) like the iconic AK100 and A&ultima series, alongside headphones, in-ear monitors through collaborations, home audio systems, and accessories. Their designs prioritize advanced noise reduction, proprietary amplifier architectures, and support for hi-res audio files, delivering uncompromised playback without venturing into speakers, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Astell&Kern commands respect among discerning listeners for its "Difference in Sound Quality"—a sensory depth that captures the emotion and space of every note. Renowned for luxury builds and cutting-edge R&D, it leads the global premium DAP segment, appealing to buyers who demand superiority over mass-market compromises.
