Used Hifiman HE400S for $220

One things leads to another (the side-effects of price-checking and following the dominoes where they fall), and we have a handful of Hifiman posts today.

If you don’t need all the extra items that come with the HE400S bundle and you want to optimize for a lower out of pocket purchase price, and you are comfortable with open-box items, you can get the Hifiman HE400S for $220 with free shipping in Open Box condition (“Used – Very Good”) by HiDef Lifestyle through Amazon Warehouse Deals. A different seller (HiFi Heaven) has a “Used – Like New” option for $228 and it is an authorized dealer. Other sellers are also hitting the $228 price (Kraft Audio, Audio Advisor).

PS: if you find all these posts useful, please consider making your online purchases through the various affiliate links to the various sellers in these posts. Any purchase helps, you don’t have to buy the item linked, you can buy items from competing manufacturers or anything else. This is the main method of funding this blog (we only have one ad box in the sidebar and none of the other annoying forms of advertising ~ no clickbait ad-articles, no in-text ads that make the browser jumpy, no full page ads, etc).

Hifiman HE400S and FiiO A3 Portable Amp and Slappa Case and 64GB Lexar microSD for $303

Bundles are often of things you can use together, but sometimes bundles are collections of different useful things. This next bundle is a bit of both, but if you happen to need all the items included, then it’s a good deal. For $303 with free shipping, you get the Hifiman HE400S planar-magnetic headphones, the Fiio A3 portable headphone amp, a 64GB Lexar microSDXC card (it won’t fit into the headphones or amp!), and a Slappa headphone case. This from Beach Camera thru Amazon. It ships directly from Beach Camera (New Jersey) and it is not Prime eligible.

HifiMan HE-560 Planars + iFi Micro-iDSD head-amp for $900

We have two Hifiman and iFi bundles, posted back to back to make it easier to digest. We start with the HiFiMan HE560 planar magnetic headphones bundled with the iFi Micro-iDSD Headphone Amplifier, together for $900 with free shipping at Adorama.com, an authorized dealer of both. Offer is good until 7/3/16 or earlier if they run out.

Hifiman HE-400i and iFi Micro-iCAN SE for $500

The second of the Hifiman bundles at Adorama.com is the HiFiMan HE400i planar magnetic headphones bundled with the iFi Micro-iCAN Special Edition headphone amp, all together for $500 with free shipping. This offer expires by 7/3/16.

Keep in mind Hifiman also released a lower priced model, the HE-400S. If you are interested in that, there’s a couple of deals about that above this post.
