Aangeboden: een vintage pioneer se-255 hoofdtelefoon. Deze hoofdtelefoon uit de jaren '70 staat bekend om zijn robuuste bouwkwaliteit en warme, gedetailleerde geluidsweergave. Ideaal voor lief
€50 looks fair to slightly strong for a SE-255, not a bargain-bin score but comfortably within the real used range for a clean vintage example. Recent asking prices for this model tend to land around the mid-€40s to about €70, with nicer restored or very presentable pairs asking more, so €50 sits close to the sensible middle.
What makes it worth a look is the SE-255’s big, old-school Pioneer character: large drivers, solid stereo separation, and a pleasantly full, relaxed presentation that suits vintage systems well. If the pads, headband, and cable are intact, this is the sort of set that can be a fun, distinctive listen rather than just a collector piece. The main upside here is condition; with vintage headphones, original parts and clean cosmetics matter more than the model name alone.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Pioneer traces its roots to 1937 in Tokyo, Japan, when founder Nozomu Matsumoto, inspired by the thrill of imported hi-fi speakers, developed the A-8 dynamic speaker and launched a radio and speaker repair shop. The business formalized as Fukuin Shokai Denki Seisakusho in 1938, evolving into Pioneer Corporation and embodying Matsumoto's philosophy of "Move the Heart and Touch the Soul" through audio innovation.
The brand excels across diverse hi-fi categories, pioneering Japan's first headphones in 1960 with the SE-1 and the world's first component-based stereo system in 1965 via the PSC-5A. Pioneer's portfolio spans amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark car audio advancements like the 1975 Supertuner-equipped stereo and the 1986 in-car CD player, blending home and automotive excellence.
Today, Pioneer holds a commanding mid-to-high-tier position in the market, revered for reliable, performance-driven gear that balances premium quality with accessibility. Its vintage components attract collectors, while current offerings appeal to discerning buyers seeking robust, innovative sound reproduction without boutique excess.
