Wat valt er te vertellen over deze koptelefoon? In ieder geval dat de susvara unveiled bij de allerbeste hoort. Voor mij een duidelijke step up ten opzichte van de susvara og. Ik ben de tweede eigenaa
This is a seller’s market for the category at this ask: €5,500 sits above the €4,563 median and just under the €5,527 75th percentile, so it reads firm but not outlandish. It is a touch ambitious versus the typical used pool, but still close enough to the upper band that a clean example can justify it.
The reason to buy is simple: this is one of the best-known statement headphones in high-end audio, prized for its scale, clarity, and low-distortion, “see-through” presentation when paired with serious amplification. At this level, condition and included accessories matter a lot; if the pads, cable, packaging, and headband are all intact, the price is easier to defend.
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.
