Nieuw, ongebruikt. 1X uit verpakking gehaald sony wh-1000xm5. Type product: headset. Connectiviteitstechnologie: bedraad en draadloos, bluetooth. Aanbevolen gebruik: oproepen/muziek. Frequentiebereik
At €175, this Sony WH-1000XM5 sits just below the 75th percentile of €179 and only €20 above the median of €155, marking it as a fair to slightly ambitious price for a used unit in the current EUR market rather than a bargain. It is not cheap enough to be called a strong deal, but it is not egregiously overpriced given the 25th–75th percentile range of €148–€179 from 75 recent comparable listings.
The XM5 remains a top-tier choice for its class-leading noise cancellation, crisp midrange, and 30-hour battery life, making it a worthwhile buy if the unknown condition turns out to be clean and unmodified. If the listing includes the original case and charging cable, the upside is solid for daily commuting or travel; only flag missing accessories or wear if the price climbs above €180 or the condition notes reveal damage.

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.
