These are professional grade in-ear monitors (IEMs), or if you're a regular consumer who appreciates good sound – you might just call them the best earphones you'll hear. Because when you're wearing them, you won't hear much else. The sound quality is impeccable, as is their world-class passive sound isolation.

This pair of earphones has been expertly cleaned and come with a fresh, brand new pair of Comply Foam™ tips (unused in the pack), an airplane adapter (to limit sudden volume spikes / protect your ears when plugged into sketchy aircraft headphone jacks), the original metal UE hard case, and I'll also throw in an aftermarket braided cable bluetooth adapter so you can dismiss the ol' 3.5mm headphone cable entirely – if you prefer to enjoy these in 2025 wireless style.

This model was discontinued a few years ago now (UE seems to be focusing more on bluetooth speakers these days), but previously sold for NZ$700-800 at retail. Wondering why a pair of earphones would ever cost so much? If you're a professional musician, you probably already know the answer, given the extraordinary reputation these have. Or if you've never experienced that kind of high end audio listening bliss, why not place a bid and find out for yourself. Starting at just a $1 reserve, you might just pick these up 'for a song'.

MASSIVE $1 RESERVE CLEAR-OUT HAPPENING NOW

Just cleared out every cupboard in the house, and I'm now getting rid of anything that hasn’t been used in a while. some impulse purchases that have sat un-used for too long, some things where priorities have changed, and some old gifts that just aren't quite what we need.

Think: a garage sale, but 100% online, right here on TradeMe, and everything starting at just a dollar!
