Ask the seller? Ask for high res photos? No-one else can possibly answer that
Hi, this is Peter from HiFiMAN. Here is what I suggest:
You should find out if this is a dealer or another consumer that is selling the headphone.
How old is the headphone? Is it one of the early samples with the ear cup made of wood or a later version with wood trim?
A preproduction headphone was never intended for resale so it would not have a warranty.
HiFiMAN products' warranty extends to the first purchaser. So if it is a dealer with a stock HE-560, the warranty is good. If it is a consumer reselling their headphone, it does not.
Hope that helps. Let me know what you find out.
Peter
LFC_SL and Peter: Thanks for your prompt responses. As a matter of fact, I have contacted the seller, but he seems unable to offer me a lot of information about the unit... He simply claims not to know much about it, except that it is "new in the box."
I can actually provide the link to the item here:

I wonder whether "new in the box" refers to a standard retail box, as one might find it in a shop...
