I have been loving on this Hifiman HE-500 for a bit now, and I've moved it to a place of sonic joy. However, I currently have multiple open back headphones of higher cost, and as these are my only headphones that don't work natively on my OTL amp I'd like to round out the stable a bit. It's time to let this wild pony run free for someone else to enjoy. This is one of the greatest and most pursued headphones of all time.

The headphone has been fully upgraded and comes with the following:

-Fuzzor Mod
-Sonically invisible sheer grill covers for more open soundstage
-Venus Audio cable
-Suede pads
-MrSpeaker DCA Alpha pads OR Ether Angled Pads in like new condition (planning on keeping one pair of these for my DIY alphas, we can talk about it)
-Stock pads (they have some wear as pictured)
-Hifiman hard shell case
-Original grills with dust cover
-Choice of two different padded headband covers, including pilot pad
-connectors if you would like to create a DIY cable

So my preference is to trade these for a fairly good pair of iems, such as an OG monarch, clairvoyance, moondrop S8, Sony M9 or something similar. I am open to suggestions, but I am unlikely to add much cash, so please be aware of this when making a trade suggestion. I am not looking for open or closed back headphones, amps, or dacs.

For purchase, shipping and paypal are included. Trade is my first choice. Please PM any questions and review pictures.
