Noise cancelling ca 30 uur batterijduur met een handige draagtas/etui en alle originele accessoires(geen oplader!). Zgan, lichte gebruikssporen (zie foto's)
At €150, the obvious alternative is a newer midrange ANC headset, but this XM4 remains fairly priced against the used market: the median of 109 comparable listings is €133, with the upper quartile at €156. It is therefore above typical, but not ambitiously so—reasonable if the condition is genuinely good.
The WH-1000XM4 is still a strong all-rounder, with excellent noise cancellation, comfortable long-session wear, multipoint Bluetooth, and useful travel battery life rated up to 30 hours with ANC enabled. The sound is enjoyable rather than strictly audiophile-neutral, but its versatility is hard to beat. At this price, confirm charging works properly, battery life is healthy, the hinges are sound, and the case and cable are included; otherwise, €150 is a little rich for an unspecified-condition example.
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.
