sold Sennheiser Orpheus HE90 + HEV90 Headphones + Valve Amp - £18,000 - SOLD

[Guest ugp]

I'm selling these due to needing a new digital mixer for the studio. This is a very reluctant sale, as it took me 2 years to find a set in good condition. These are hand made, one of only 300 pairs. They are considered by many to be the Holy Grail of headphone systems. I have not heard another set of headphones with such precise sound. I'm the second owner of these, originally bought from a chap in Germany for £21k. The HEV90 amp is in perfect condition, not so much as a scratch. The leather needs retrimming on the ear pieces, I didn't want to get this repaired as I felt it would deter from its originality. The Orpheus package comes with:

 

- HEV90 amplifier/DAC (S/N 12*) only one key though

- HE90 headphones (S/N 13*) inc case

- Original receipt

- HEV90 Box - unfortunately the dog chewed the HE90 box.

 

There is currently a set on ebay for £20k, however with mine needing the leather repaired + one key missing, I've priced them slightly less at £18,000.

 

Thanks for reading.

 

THESE ARE NOW SOLD - THANKS FOR THE INTEREST.

The amp is truely a work of art.

 

BUT £18,000, FOR A SET OF HEADPHONES!!

 

Thats not to dispute the value of this item, I've had dealings with Sennheiser over the last number of years I've come to realise they are among the best at what they do and their K+H range is fabulous.

 

I just never thought it possible that you COULD pay that kind of money for that kind of item, nevermind WOULD pay!

 

Good luck with the sale!

They look amazing and good luck with the sale.

Thanks for the comments chaps. They really are a work of art, listening to anything else just sounds dull, and thats including the Nautilus 802's we use for monitors.

 

I've got a load more gear for sale as we refurb the studio, so expect a few more stupidly expensive bits of kit

 

Now I know why there's never any money for the Supra!
