Sony MDR E 484 Kopfhörer
Komplettes Set! RAR!!!
TOP ZUSTAND !!
PayPal und EU-Versand möglich
The MDR-E484 is a cult classic in Sony’s vintage earbud lineup: rare, highly regarded, and usually bought as much for sound as for collectability. At €499, this is firmly in collector territory and sits in the ambitious-to-fair zone for a clean example; it isn’t a casual bargain, but it’s not outlandish if the set is genuinely excellent with complete accessories.
What makes it special is the combination of light, comfortable fit, airy stage, and that distinctive lively Sony tuning that fans still chase. If the listing includes the original case, intact cable, and the drivers are matched and healthy, that adds real value because clean survivors are getting harder to find. The main buyer check is condition honesty: vintage cable wear, channel imbalance, and dried foam or missing bits matter more here than on a modern set.
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.
