EXPIRED For Sale HiFiMan HE-500 Headphones - Over/On Ear

Further Information

Hi Everyone, 

I'm probably going to have "seller's regret" after listing this pair of HiFiMan HE-500 planar magnetic headphones and upgraded Double Helix Monocrystal Cable that I bought new direct from Fang himself back in mid 2011 a few months after they were released to the market for the RRP of $899 USD and the upgraded cable from Double Helix was $279 USD. 

These awesome headphones have been resting on my Sieveking Sound Omega headphone stand ( not for sale ) for over 5yrs and haven't been used until recently when I have been testing my friend's headphone amplifier that I've recently sold. I have also given these He-500's a good long test in the last couple of weeks with my custom built MAD ( Mapletree Audio Design ) Ear Purist+ valve headphone amplifier and they performed like a champ with no issues what so ever. Even my Bottlehead Crack OTL valve amplifier drove the HE-500 without breaking a sweat. 

I have graded the condition of the headphones as VERY GOOD instead of EXCELLENT as the colour of the ear cushions have faded from black to a grey due to some occasional sunlight coming through the gaps between the venetian blinds at the window directly behind where this pair of headphones has been siting on the headphone stand for all these past years. The cushions have no physical damage or deterioration as such aside from the colour fade. Included in the original presentation box is 1x spare ear cushion in a zip lock bag and the OEM Japanese Canare cable. The presentation box although it's been kept inside the original corrugated cardboard packing carton has aged where the imitation leather/P.U. covering has some minor blotches.
