Verkaufe meine alte Sony WH-1000XM5, da ich finanzielle Schwierigkeiten habe. Der Zustand ist immer noch genau so wie es vor paar Jahren war als ich sie gekauft habe.
Is this close enough to the market that you can buy with confidence? Yes: at €160, it sits just above the €154 median and well inside the typical used band of €143–€180, so this reads as fair pricing rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask.
That still makes it a worthwhile buy because these are one of the strongest all-round ANC headphones: excellent noise canceling, a very polished wireless sound, strong comfort, and a slim travel-friendly case. At excellent condition, the upside is mainly in getting a clean, lightly used pair without paying new-pricing premium; if the original cable, case, and pads are intact, it’s an easy recommend for anyone who wants top-tier everyday noise canceling without overpaying.
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.
