Weinig gebruikte sony xm-5. Gaat weg ivm overstap naar bedrade koptelefoon met hifi versterker, ligt al een tijdje ongebruikt in de kast en dat is zonde...
This is a buyer’s market for this category: at €150, this sits just above the €145 25th percentile and a touch under the €155 median, so it reads as a fair-to-very-good buy rather than a steal. It’s priced in the sweet spot where you’re not overpaying, and you’re close enough to typical market value that negotiation isn’t essential.
The appeal here is straightforward: these are still among the strongest all-round wireless ANC headphones, with excellent noise cancelling, very good comfort, and a polished, consumer-friendly sound that works for travel, office use, and casual listening. At this price, a clean example is attractive if the battery is healthy and the pads, headband, and hinges show normal wear only; if it includes the case, cable, and box, that’s a nice bonus, not a must-have.
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.
