Hifiman Arya Stealth Magnet Brand new in open box. Sound fantastic.
£400 is fair and slightly firm, but still within the normal used range. Against your database anchor, it sits just above the £388 median and inside the £358–£407 interquartile band, so this is not a bargain and not overpriced either.
That makes it a sensible buy if the set is clean and complete, because this model is well regarded for its open, spacious presentation, strong resolution, and easy synergy with good amplification. The “excellent” condition tag matters here: with planar flagships, a tidy, well-kept example can be worth paying near-market for, especially if pads, cable, and box are included.
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.
