They are in fine working condition, and original carry case and 3.5Mm cable included. Great sounding pair of headphones, but for my mixing purposes i need something else. The left plastic hinge above
Condition is unknown, but at €85 this lands well below the €145 25th percentile and far under the €157 median, so it reads as a strong bargain if the pads, hinges, battery, and ANC still check out. For a WH-1000XM5, that’s a very buyer-friendly entry point rather than a price to haggle hard on.
These are still one of the most capable wireless ANC headphones around: excellent noise canceling, very good comfort, strong call quality, and easy day-to-day use. The real upside at this price is getting flagship-level performance for roughly half the typical used asking level; just confirm it comes with the cable and case, and that battery life hasn’t noticeably fallen off.
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.
