Best Planar Magnetic Headphones Under $1,000 (used)

Hi all,

I wanted to share a selection of the best planar magnetic headphones that can be found for under $1,000 on the second-hand market.

What are your thoughts? Do you see any obvious (or less obvious) candidates that are missing?

They're not the best at any one thing but are really good at everything. What sticks out in my mind is the frequency tuning and the pleasing treble. Given that, I'm planning on buying a pair of the HIFI Man Arya Unveiled. I might wait until the price comes down because I am sure that I'll need the flagship Schiit equalizer to support them. You might be able to find the Ayra Unveiled pre-owned for close to $1,000.00.

That would make a great Christmas present!
