At €450, this Philips N5846 is a strong deal for a well-preserved unit, sitting well below the typical €550–€700 used range for this 1981 computer-coded deck. Most working examples of this rare Philips model now trade in the €600+ zone, so €450 is a genuine bargain if the condition is solid.
The N5846 is highly regarded for its computer-coded transport, exceptional wow-and-flat stability, and clean, low-noise amplification that still competes with modern decks. It’s a rarity among vintage cassette decks, especially from Philips, and owners praise its smooth operation and tonal clarity. If this is an original-owner unit with no belt issues or missing accessories, it’s a buying opportunity at this price—don’t overthink it.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in Eindhoven, Netherlands, in 1891 by Gerard Philips, an engineer, and his father Frederik, a banker, Philips began as a modest light bulb manufacturer, quickly evolving into a global electronics powerhouse through relentless innovation. The brothers' early focus on quality incandescent lamps laid the groundwork for expansion into radios, televisions, and audio milestones like the 1963 compact cassette and the 1982 Compact Disc co-developed with Sony. This heritage of pioneering formats that reshaped home entertainment cements Philips as a cornerstone of 20th-century audio history.
Philips has long excelled in consumer audio categories, from vintage turntables and cassette decks to amplifiers, speakers, and complete hi-fi systems, often blending cutting-edge tech with practical design. Iconic products like the first CD player (CD-100) and early wireless Streamium systems highlight their prowess in optical media, portable recording, and integrated sound solutions, while forays into headphones and even acquiring Marantz underscored a broad portfolio.
Today, Philips occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by savvy buyers for reliable, value-driven performance rather than ultra-high-end exotica. No longer a full-spectrum electronics giant—having pivoted to health tech—its licensed audio branding delivers competent, innovation-rooted gear that's accessible yet evocative of golden-era nostalgia, appealing to both modern enthusiasts and vintage collectors.
