Sony Walkman Sports WM-35 mit original Kopfhörer, Greta hab ich gerade getestet läuft vorspulen. Zurückspulen läuft nur der Original Kopfhörer funktioniert nur auf der rechten Seite habe es mit einem anderen Kopfhörer ausprobiert. Da funktioniert alles top.
This is a fair ask, though not a bargain: €150 sits above the €102 median for comparable Sony WM-35 listings, but remains below the €201 upper quartile. It is defensible for a clean, fully working example, especially with its distinctive original styling intact.
The WM-35 is a charming mid-80s Sports Walkman built around a buoyant, water-resistant shell, simple single-direction playback, belt clip, and support for normal, chrome, and metal tapes. Its appeal is character rather than advanced hi-fi features: no Dolby, auto-reverse, or sophisticated transport. At €150, insist on confirmed playback, working fast-forward and rewind, clean battery contacts, and a healthy headphone output; the original headphones would strengthen the case. External references confirm the model’s 2-AA design and supplied belt clip/headphones.
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.
