New sony wf-1000xm5. In new sealed box. I’ve had them for less than one month.
Condition is unknown, so at €145 this is a touch above the €117 median and just past the €147 75th percentile from your comparable set, which makes it ambitious rather than a steal. It is not wildly off-market, but I’d want a bit more to justify paying top-of-range money.
Still, this is a well-regarded true-wireless flagship with strong noise cancelling, refined sound, and a compact premium fit, so the model itself is easy to recommend if the batteries are healthy and the fit is right. At this price, the upside is in a clean, lightly used pair with original tips/case and no charging or battery issues; if those basics check out, it can still be a sensible buy.
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.
