Condition report:
The items are all housed in distressed original packaging. The Shure N75-6 box shows heavy wear, creasing, and tearing to the corners and opening flaps (photo 1). The Shure N75HE-T2 box is significantly damaged, featuring a large irregular circular hole or cutout on the front face and crushed edges (photo 1). The plastic case for the generic stylus shows yellowing to the labels and adhesive residue (photo 1). The physical condition of the delicate stylus cantilevers and diamond tips cannot be verified through the packaging and are sold as seen and untested.
