New pricing is hard to pin down for this discontinued model, but €55 is an excellent used-market price: it sits below the €66 25th percentile and well under the €102 median from 680 comparable listings. That makes it a genuine bargain rather than merely a fair buy.
The ECM-MS957 remains a very capable portable stereo microphone, using an MS capsule arrangement with selectable 90°/120° pickup angles for focused or broader recordings. It offers a natural stereo image, a useful 50–18,000 Hz response, and runs for roughly 2,000 hours from one AA battery. At this price, check that the dedicated cable, windscreen, holder, and battery compartment are present and functioning, but a clean, working example is well worth grabbing.

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.
