Is €69 the point where this becomes a no-brainer, or are you still better off hunting for a cleaner deal? For an NX3s, €69 is fair to slightly strong, not a steal: new/retail listings have sat around the equivalent of roughly €55–€65, and used-market mentions commonly cluster around the €40–€55 zone, so this listing is a bit above the most typical used asks but not out of line for a decent example.
That still makes it a worthwhile buy if you want a compact, battery-powered headphone amp with a solid reputation for clean, punchy output and simple portability. The upside here is the form factor: it’s easy to pair with a phone or DAP, and a tidy original-owner unit with the charger, cable, and a healthy battery is the kind of listing that saves you the hassle of chasing a cheaper but more tired one.
