Our Thoughts RADAR AI

At A$4,300, this listing is priced just under the median of A$4,521 for used Dan Clark Audio Expanse units in Australia, making it a fair and solid deal rather than a bargain, but certainly not ambitious. The median sits between the 25th percentile (A$3,750) and 75th percentile (A$5,761), and this asking price lands comfortably in that sweet spot where value meets availability.

The Expanse is widely regarded as Dan Clark’s flagship open-back planar magnetic headphone, delivering exceptional detail retrieval, a natural soundstage, and remarkable comfort at just 418g. Its 76mm single-ended planar drivers and ultra-low THD (<0.03%) make it a top-tier choice for critical listening. At this price, you’re getting a well-loved, high-performance model in new condition—likely from an original owner—with no known caveats, making it a strong buying opportunity for anyone serious about audiophile-grade sound.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Dan Clark Audio

Dan Clark Audio, originally founded as MrSpeakers in 2012 by audio engineer Dan Clark in San Diego, California, traces its roots to the founder's lifelong passion for sound that began in childhood. With a background including work on Monitor Audio's premium Platinum Series speakers in the late 1990s and early headphone modifications for audiophiles, Clark bootstrapped the company through those sales, avoiding loans or investors to fund independent research and development.

The brand specializes exclusively in high-end planar magnetic headphones, offering both open-back and closed-back models renowned for innovative driver technology, such as proprietary designs protected by multiple US patents. Standouts include early releases like the Mad Dog and ETHER, alongside modern flagships emphasizing balanced acoustics, exceptional comfort, and lightweight engineering—handmade in the USA without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or other categories.

Positioned as a niche boutique leader in the ultra-premium headphone market, Dan Clark Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its relentless pursuit of perfection, earning accolades from Hi-Fi+, The Absolute Sound, HFN, and The New York Times Wirecutter. Renamed in 2019, it prioritizes value-driven excellence over mass production, solidifying its status as an innovator in personal audio.
