UNBOXED
Headphone Zone Certified Unboxed Units
Unboxed units are as good as new products with the product's packaging being unavailable. These products give you the same satisfaction of new products - but at down-to-earth prices. Usually, the product's packaging may have gotten damaged in transit. Customers use a product once or twice and then return it with opened up packaging.
Customer Returns
Returned headphones are fully functional products that have left the warehouse and therefore can no longer be sold as new as their packaging has been opened. The product may have been used once or twice by the customer who returned it.
Transit Damages
Sometimes we receive headphones in damaged packaging due to shipping accidents. These are brand new headphones with cosmetic flaws on the packaging.
Save Upto 15%
Since you won't get the original packaging, we give you a good discount compared to a new headphone.
Professionally Inspected
A thorough inspection means you receive a 100% working headphone with no sound output issues.
Original Warranty
All unboxed headphones carry the same warranty period as a brand new headphone would.
Unbiased Customer Service
We have the same Headphone Zone customer support experience for Unboxed Products or new products.
Unchanged Replacement Policy
Received a defective Unboxed unit? Return it under our Replacement Policy.
All Original Accessories
The unboxed headphones itself comes with all original accessories.
DESCRIPTION
THE ULTIMATE HIGH-PERFORMANCE PORTABLE DAC & AMP
The feature-rich Sparrow is the result of a collaboration between EarMen and Auris Audio. This DAC & Amp is meticulously engineered to process high-resolution audio and deliver detailed and clear audio making your music sound close to the original studio recording. The EarMen Sparrow has been put together almost entirely locally. While the chassis is designed close to the EarMen facility, the PCBs are made in the HCP.

FOR BEST-IN-CLASS AUDIO PERFORMANCE
The EarMen Sparrow features the flagship ESS Sabre ES9281PRO DAC Chip that delivers best-in-class audio output at 124 dB DNR and -112 Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise (THD+N). It comes with Super Low ESR tantalum capacitors and 4-layered gold-plated PCB technology that reduces the noise to nothing while preserving the sound quality. This will help you experience even the minutest detail of your music particularly with hi-res audio files.


SUPPORTS TIDAL MASTERS (MQA) & QOBUZ HIGH-RES PLAYBACK
The Sparrow is embedded with an MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) renderer, allowing optimum MQA playback. It also supports encoding, which folds additional data into the signal which can be recovered later. You can access Tidal Masters (MQA) through a smartphone. It even supports Qobuz’s high-res playback on smartphones, Windows, and Mac OS. Qobuz allows users to stream and download songs in one of the most popular formats for mastering and archiving — FLAC.


TURN YOUR SMARTPHONE INTO A PRO AUDIO DEVICE
If you use your smartphone as the source device for music, the EarMen Sparrow is ideal for you. It sports a lightweight design with a durable CNC milling aluminium enclosure, preventing interferences into the audio signal. The curved smooth edges make it seem as though they are a part of the cable without getting entangled. You don't have to install the driver manually because it comes with an in-built adaptive driver. The connection can be utilized directly and it conveniently transforms smartphones into professional audio equipment.
