Sony wh-1000xm3 zwart gebruikt maar werkt perfect
The timing is neutral: this is a late-flagship pair that’s been superseded by newer Sony noise-cancelling models, but the WH-1000XM3 still holds up well for sound and ANC if you want strong value rather than the newest feature set. At €100, it sits a bit above the €91 median for your recent comparables, but still inside the €73–€108 middle band, so this reads as fair, not pricey.
What keeps it attractive is the combination of still-excellent active noise cancelling, easygoing tuning, and very usable battery life for travel or office use. If the pads, headband, and battery are healthy, this is the kind of older premium headphone that remains genuinely satisfying for daily listening; I’d mainly want confirmation on physical wear and whether the original cable/case are included, since those are the practical value drivers here.

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.
