Why not headphones are just ok.
Why so many headphones for sale with less than 10 hours of listening time?
I've been in the market for a new pair of headphones recently, but have noticed that an unusually high percentage for sale are classified as "mint with less than 10 hours of listening time". What gives? How could anyone possibly make an accurate assessment on something with less than 10 hours involved? Audeze is one of the brands I'm considering, but it seems like this is the one that has the most for sale with little time involved. Could it be a comfort thing? Any insight would be appreciated.

A lot of people just aren't headphone people, they jump into the game and still listen to there main rigs as their source of music and the headphones just sit,then they need something for the main system and sell off unused gear to make the purchase. You mentioned Audeze as one that gets moved with low hours and I noted that as well when I purchased a pair of the 2s from a guy that was moving up to the 3s. Toyota has sold a shitload of Cambrys so it would make sense that there would be a lot of them in the used market. |
All good points tooblue. I get that people purchase them and still listen to their main rig 99% of the time, but I've also read that the Audeze phones are heavy and bulky. I'm not picking on Audeze, but until I can get to try a pair personally, I'm trying to figure out if it's something more than that. |
Headphones actually take a long time to break in. People don't realize it so they sell them because they sound thin. My Sennheisers (HD650) took 500 hours to sound decent, and another 500 to blow my mind. I can see someone selling them after 100 hours and buying Beats (and my laughing until my side splits). |
Never buy used headphones or you might catch this or some other nasty infection! It's your call! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otitis_media |
