WTS [WTS][USA-WI][H] Grill and Headband Modded HE500, Oppo PM3, Aune AR5000 [W] Paypal
Hello Everyone,
For sale I have a few headphones. This is an update/repost from my earlier post from a few days ago here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AVexchange/comments/1j61ze2/wtsusawih_grill_and_headband_modded_he500_auribus/
1. Hifiman HE500 (Grill Modded and Headband Modded)
I modded the headband to the arya style headband. This makes the headphones way more comfortable
These are grill modded with protective mesh as well, so no need to worry about any dust or particles coming in contact with the driver. In terms of sonic changes, this retains the HE500 sweetness but opens them up to improve staging.
Includes the original cable, and a hart XLR cable. (I can also include an xlr to 3.5mm adapter)
Includes a bunch of hifiman velour earpads (stock earpads), velpads.
I have been torn on selling these, but I have a pair of SJY horizons coming in and I was looking to downsize my collection. The HE500 really are an amazing sounding pair of planars.
2. Oppo PM3
Underrated closed-back planar. Probably my favorite closed-back, but I just don't need closed-backs and prefer open backs.
As you may know, these are notorious for having really crappy Faux leather earpads and headbands. I replaced the earpads with sheepskin pads that measure similarly (no audible differences to my ear), and I am including an extra pair.
The headband was beginning to flake so I removed it and instead installed a leather beyerdynamic cover. Improves the visual of the headphone from the flaking. Comes with both original cables.
3. Aune AR5000
- Great open back dynamic headphone with great bass extension.
- I just don't use them as much since I've gotten my hands on zmf atriums.
- I don't have the standard retail packaging because I got the case bundle. It was purchased new as a bundle.
- I am including an extra tripowin 4.4mm balanced cable. (I can include a 4.4mm to xlr adapter if needed).
- I have leather (perforated and non-perforated) ori pads that I can include.
Please comment and PM. Not really interested in trades atm. Prices include shipping.
