Headphone Zone Trade-Up Program

Why we started the program
A lot of our community members didn't know what to do with their old, used headphones once they bought new ones. Most times, they can't upgrade to new headphones because "phir inka kya kare?"

This program is meant to help you clear up your old inventory and recover money in order to upgrade to new gear: be it headphones, earphones, audio players, DAC/Amps. It is a chance for you to sell your existing gear and upgrade to that new headphone you've been eyeing for a while.

How you can Trade-Up to New Gear
1) Paying 16% of the sale value as service fees and receiving the balance in your bank account
2) Getting 100% of the sale value as Headphone Zone store credit. This never expires and you can use it at anytime.

Audiophiles who Sold their Pre-Owned Listings and Traded up like a Boss

Why Buy Pre-owned Over New Products?


Save Some Rupees

Not endlessly finicky about your personal belongings? You should have no problem buying pre-owned audio gear especially if you also get to save some money.

Pre-owned Is Pre-burned

Save you the time of burning in new headphones. Typically, brand new headphones take up to weeks to break in and sound as good as they should.

Consider It Vintage

Vintage products have a certain charm that cannot be put into words. think of old, pre-owned headphones as vintage. they have a story; they have, character.

Help A Buddy Out

The audiophile community in this country is small and the more people that have each others backs, the better. after all, is there a bigger strength than that of unity?

Important Note: Our responsibility is limited to being an intermediary. We can only help with taking your product's listing live, handling the logistical part of pickup up the unit from the seller, and getting it delivered to the buyer. And lastly, take care of all the changes requested by either of the parties.

If a buyer places an order for your listing and you change your mind about selling or have already sold the product without informing us, a 10% cancellation fee will be levied. If this is repeated, we will delete all your listings and you will be ineligible for creating any new listings on our program.
