Hele fijne noise cancelling koptelefoon, amper gebruikt, geringe gebruikssporen (zie foto's).
Listed at €145 and effectively sitting on the 25th percentile of recent comps, this is a strong buy rather than just a fair one; it’s below the €157 median and comfortably under the €178 upper quartile, so the price leaves room for a clean purchase. For a current flagship ANC headphone, that’s an encouraging spot to be in.
The WH-1000XM5 is well regarded for top-tier noise cancelling, easy comfort, and a polished, mainstream-friendly sound that makes it a safe enthusiast pick. At this price, the main upside is getting a still-current model without paying median-market money; if it includes the case, cable, and original pads are in good shape, it looks like a very sensible grab.

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.
