Angeboten wird „SE-505“ von Pioneer als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Kopfhörer mit Kabel“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5632522684 endet am 27.06.2026 um 15:58 Uhr.
Timing matters here because this is an older vintage model, so the real question is whether you want the classic Sony-era sound rather than a current-production alternative. At €300, it’s a bit above the local comparable market: the median is €268, with €251 at the 25th percentile and €286 at the 75th, so this sits just over the upper end of the recent spread.
That said, it can still be a sensible buy if the set is complete and genuinely clean, because these are valued for their roomy, easygoing presentation and the fact that good-condition examples are getting harder to find. If the pads, cable, and headband are all healthy, the extra €14 over the 75th percentile is not a dealbreaker for a nice survivor; just make sure you’re paying for condition, not nostalgia.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Pioneer traces its roots to 1937 in Tokyo, Japan, when founder Nozomu Matsumoto, inspired by the thrill of imported hi-fi speakers, developed the A-8 dynamic speaker and launched a radio and speaker repair shop. The business formalized as Fukuin Shokai Denki Seisakusho in 1938, evolving into Pioneer Corporation and embodying Matsumoto's philosophy of "Move the Heart and Touch the Soul" through audio innovation.
The brand excels across diverse hi-fi categories, pioneering Japan's first headphones in 1960 with the SE-1 and the world's first component-based stereo system in 1965 via the PSC-5A. Pioneer's portfolio spans amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark car audio advancements like the 1975 Supertuner-equipped stereo and the 1986 in-car CD player, blending home and automotive excellence.
Today, Pioneer holds a commanding mid-to-high-tier position in the market, revered for reliable, performance-driven gear that balances premium quality with accessibility. Its vintage components attract collectors, while current offerings appeal to discerning buyers seeking robust, innovative sound reproduction without boutique excess.
