Hiermit verkaufe ich meine Sony WH-1000XM5 Silver. Ich habe sie sehr selten getragen und sie sind dementsprechend sehr gepflegt und sehen wie neu aus. Sie funktionieren einwandfrei. Originalbox und Rechnung sind noch vorhanden. Fotos kann ich gerne bei Interesse schicken.
€190 is a bit above the typical used market, so this is fair-to-slightly-ambitious rather than a bargain. Against your own comps, it sits above the €180 75th percentile and well over the €154 median, so I’d only call it compelling if the condition and package are genuinely strong.
That said, the XM5 is still an easy headphone to justify: top-tier ANC, very good comfort, long battery life, and a refined, travel-friendly sound signature that’s made it a staple for commuters. At excellent condition, the upside is mostly in buying a clean, current-gen pair that should age well; if it includes the case, cable, and original accessories, the €190 ask is easier to stomach.
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.
