Class-leading ANC, wireless, comfortable for travel and daily use. Excellent condition. Surplus to my rotation.
The WH-1000XM5 remains one of Sony’s strongest wireless noise-cancelling headphones, particularly for travel and everyday listening. At A$150, this is a genuine bargain: it sits well below the A$240 25th-percentile asking price and far under the A$261 median from 117 recent Australian comparables. Even allowing for normal variation in condition, the price is compelling.
Its strengths are excellent active noise cancellation, a comfortable lightweight design, long battery life, and a polished, energetic sound that suits modern music. The app offers useful EQ and control options, while multipoint Bluetooth adds practical value. Check that charging, touch controls, ANC modes, hinges, ear pads, and the case are all present and functional, but if the headphones are clean and working properly, A$150 is an easy recommendation rather than merely a fair buy.
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.
