Offered is „Sony NW-WM1Z M2 Signature Walkman – 2TB – Unused“ by Sony as second-hand device from the category „Portable Audio“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2808830665 ends on 06.12.2026 at 08:55 o'clock.
New, the Sony WM1ZM2 sits around €3,600–€3,700, so €1,850 represents roughly half its current retail price. Against the supplied used comparables, though, it is above the €1,583 median and €1,717 75th percentile, making the asking price ambitious rather than a bargain.
That premium is understandable if the unit is genuinely clean and complete: the WM1ZM2 remains an exceptional high-end player, with a refined, powerful presentation, excellent battery life, 256 GB of internal storage, microSD expansion, and strong headphone-drive capability. Its copper chassis and Signature-series build also give it lasting collector appeal. At €1,850, confirm battery health, screen and physical condition, charging function, and that the original case and accessories are included; otherwise, negotiating toward €1,700 or below would better match the recent market.
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.
