Sony wf-1000xm5 wireless earbuds (regulatory model yy2963). Good condition, incredible sound quality, and industry-leading active noise cancelling. Comes with the original charging case. Battery lasts
Against your comparable set, €125 is slightly above the €119 median but still comfortably inside the main market band, sitting between the €99 25th percentile and the €149 75th percentile. That makes it a fair ask, not a bargain, and not ambitious either.
This model is well regarded for strong noise canceling, very good call quality, and a compact, genuinely premium wireless-earbud experience, so a clean used pair can be a smart buy if you want top-tier everyday listening without paying new-retail money. At this price, the main thing to check is battery health, charging case condition, and whether all original tips/accessories are included, since those matter more than cosmetic wear on this product.
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.
