For this category, it’s a buyer’s market right now: the asking price of €180 sits well above the recent used median of €126 and even above the 75th percentile of €161, so this is ambitious rather than a bargain. It would need something genuinely special to justify that premium, such as sealed condition, a fresh warranty situation, or strong included extras.
That said, these are popular for good reason: excellent active noise cancelling, a very polished sound signature, and seamless Apple ecosystem integration make them easy to recommend if you live in that world. If the set is truly new and unopened, some premium is understandable, but at €180 a buyer should still compare carefully against other used and refurbished options before jumping.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Apple Inc. traces its origins to April 1, 1976, when Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, along with Ronald Wayne, founded the company in the Jobs family garage in Cupertino, California. What began as a modest venture to build personal computers evolved into a tech powerhouse, with early forays into audio via the 2001 launch of iTunes and the iconic iPod portable music player.
In the hi-fi realm, Apple focuses on integrated consumer audio solutions rather than traditional separates like amplifiers, turntables, or DACs. The company is renowned for wireless speakers such as the short-lived iPod Hi-Fi (2006-2007) and the more advanced HomePod series, alongside premium headphones including AirPods and AirPods Max. These products emphasize seamless ecosystem integration, portability, and digital streaming over analog purism.
Apple holds a dominant position in the premium consumer audio market, blending high-end aspirations with mass-market accessibility. While not a staple among traditional hi-fi purists—who often critique its closed ecosystem and past efforts like the iPod Hi-Fi as underwhelming—its products command loyalty for sonic refinement, computational audio processing, and design excellence, positioning it as a mid-to-high-tier contender for savvy buyers prioritizing convenience over boutique esoterica.
