Sony MDR-Z7M2 Headphones - Over/On Ear Fantastic condition and pads are like new still. Comes with box, 3.5mm cable and 4.4mm balanced cable (with 4.4mm to XLR adaptor). RRP new $1199 Shipping likely around $25 wide. Thanks.

Like new and at A$549, this sits just under the A$560 median of the recent AUD comps, so it reads as fair-to-good value rather than a bargain-bin steal. It’s also comfortably below the A$634 75th percentile, which means the ask is not ambitious for the model.
That makes sense for a well-regarded closed-back: the MDR-Z7M2 is known for a big, smooth, easygoing presentation, strong bass weight, and comfortable long-session wear, so buyers are usually paying for a polished all-rounder rather than a hyper-analytical studio can. In like new condition, the main upside is avoiding the usual wear-and-tear headaches on pads, headband, and cables, so if the accessories are complete, this is a sensible pickup for someone wanting a premium Sony without paying top-of-market money.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
