This €120 asking price for the Sony ST-SE700 in excellent condition is a fair deal that sits just below the market median of €124 for comparable used listings. Based on 691 recent EUR comparables, the price lands comfortably between the 25th percentile (€77) and the median, avoiding the ambitious zone above the 75th percentile (€226) while offering better value than the average listing.
The ST-SE700 is a well-regarded vintage tuner from Sony’s SE series, prized for its 80 dB mono selectivity and reliable FM/AM/LW/MW coverage with 30-station memory. Its high sensitivity and low distortion make it a solid upgrade for analog radio in modern systems, and the “excellent” condition suggests minimal wear with likely original accessories included. At this price, it’s a straightforward buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking clean vintage performance without overpaying.

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.
