At £126, this sits above the £82 median and a touch under the £152 75th percentile, so it reads as a fair-to-slightly-ambitious ask rather than a bargain. It is not expensive enough to be a hard pass, but it wants clean condition and the usual accessories to feel fully justified.
This model is popular because it gives a simple desktop upgrade path: easy USB hookup, handy surround processing for gaming, and a compact box that can sharpen dialogue and positional cues without needing a full amp stack. If it is complete and tidy, it is a sensible buy for someone who wants convenience and a polished all-in-one desktop DAC. At this price, the main thing to check is that everything works cleanly, since the value is strongest when it is ready to plug in and use.

Founded in June 1945 by Dr. Fritz Sennheiser in a farmhouse near Hanover, Germany, Sennheiser began as Laboratorium Wennebostel, producing voltmeters and early microphones amid post-World War II reconstruction. Seven engineers from the University of Hannover joined the founder, quickly pivoting to broadcast microphones like the DM 2 in 1946 and the groundbreaking MD 82 shotgun mic in 1956. Renamed Sennheiser electronic in 1958, the family-owned company passed to second- and third-generation leadership, maintaining its innovative spirit over eight decades.
Sennheiser excels in professional and consumer audio, renowned for microphones, wireless systems, and headphones that set industry standards. Pioneers of the first open-back headphones (HD 414 in 1968) and enduring studio icons like the MD 421 and MD 441, they also produce high-end headphones, earbuds, soundbars, and conferencing solutions. While strong in pro audio like mixers and geophysical gear, their consumer focus centers on headphones and wireless tech rather than amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, or cables.
Sennheiser commands a premium position in the hi-fi market, blending mid-tier accessibility with high-end excellence for discerning buyers and professionals. Trusted for reliability and sonic precision, it appeals to audiophiles seeking reference-grade headphones without boutique obscurity, backed by a heritage of technological firsts that sustains its global leadership.
