Near mint and sound great. They for come with anything new besides the headphone and cable so that’s all that’s included here!
This is a strong deal. At US$125, it lands well below the US$160 25th percentile and far under the US$217 median of the recent comp set, so it reads as a genuine bargain rather than just a fair ask.
That makes it especially appealing on a model that’s widely liked for its open, balanced sound and good technical performance for the money. In like new condition, the upside is simple: you’re getting a respected planar at a price that leaves room for pads or a cable upgrade if needed, with no real reason to expect drama if the listing is complete and has been cared for.
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.
