The timing is still fine: this is a 2018-generation noise-cancelling headphone, so you’re buying a proven mature model rather than paying early-adopter tax for something brand new. At €85, it sits below the €91 median and comfortably inside the normal €72–€103 used range, so this reads as a solid fair buy rather than a bargain-bin flyer.
What still makes it worthwhile is the Sony tuning: strong ANC for travel and commuting, reliable Bluetooth, and a broadly balanced sound that’s easy to live with for long sessions. The main upside is value, especially if the pads, headband, battery, and hinges are in decent shape; on a listing at this level, I’d mainly want confirmation that it charges properly and holds battery well.

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.
