Batterij doet het nog erg goed! Fijne koptelefoon! Oorkussentjes mogen voor het zicht wel vervangen worden, deze zijn makkelijk te bestellen en vervangen. (€10 incl verzenden bij bol)
This is a buyer’s market for the WH-1000XM3 class right now, and €50 is a strong deal versus the recent EUR market: it sits well below the €65 25th percentile and far under the €89 median. For a well-known ANC headset, that’s the kind of price that should get attention rather than negotiation.
The XM3 is still a very worthwhile buy because it’s genuinely strong on noise cancelling, comfort, and all-day battery life, with a light foldable design that made it a benchmark for commuting and office use. At €50, the main thing to check is practical condition: ear pads, headband wear, battery health, Bluetooth stability, and whether the original case and cable are included. If those basics are fine, this is an easy green light.
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.
