The Sony WH-1000XM4 remains a benchmark in wireless noise-canceling headphones, widely praised for its adaptive sound control and top-tier comfort. At €150, this listing sits just below the 75th percentile of €152 and is comfortably above the median of €132, making it a fair price for a used unit in standard condition. It is not a bargain, but it reflects the current market reality for this well-regarded model, where strong demand keeps prices stable.
This is a worthwhile buy if the headphones are in good working order, as the XM4 still delivers exceptional noise cancellation, clear audio, and reliable multipoint connectivity. The upside lies in its enduring performance and feature set, which still competes with newer models. Unless the listing reveals missing accessories, battery issues, or physical wear, €150 is a solid entry point for a proven performer that continues to impress daily.

Sony emerged from the ruins of post-World War II Japan, founded on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Starting with radio repairs and Japan's first magnetic tape recorder, the duo secured transistor licensing from Bell Labs, pioneering the TR-55 transistor radio in 1955. Renamed Sony Corporation in 1958—from the Latin "sonus" for sound—the brand symbolized Japan's ascent from cheap imitations to innovative leadership, fueled by Ibuka's engineering prowess and Morita's global marketing vision.
Sony's hi-fi legacy spans headphones, amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark formats like the Compact Disc in 1982 and Blu-ray. Iconic products include the Walkman for portable audio revolution and Trinitron televisions, blending consumer accessibility with cutting-edge tech. Today, offerings like the Signature Series headphones and ES amplifiers target discerning listeners seeking refined soundstaging and dynamic range.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Sony commands respect among knowledgeable buyers for blending mass-market reliability with premium performance, outpacing many pure audiophile brands in innovation and value. Far from vintage relic or niche boutique, it dominates with forward-thinking engineering, holding strong market share in headphones and streaming ecosystems.
