What is a Sony WF-1000XM5 worth?

What it sells for

Half the Sony WF-1000XM5 sales in this set closed above $94.95 and half below it. The middle of the range runs $89 to $109.99: that band is the number to price against, not the single highest sale you can find. Meanwhile 26 people are currently asking a median of $99.99 for one, $5.04 above what they have been going for. An asking price is a request, not a transaction, and it usually sits high. More on that gap.

Condition changes the number

A refurbished example took a median of $142.49; a pre-owned one took $89.99, a spread of $52.50 on the same model. If you are pricing yours, find your condition in the table first and ignore the rest.

What moves the price up or down

• The spread is wide. The priciest sale here ($209.99) went for 4.4× the cheapest ($48). A gap that size is rarely the market being irrational, it is usually condition, completeness, or what came in the box.
• Incomplete examples drag the bottom. 1 listings describe themselves as body-only, untested, as-is, or missing an accessory. Complete, working, photographed-well items sit nearer the top of the range.
• Where you sell it matters. These comps come from eBay. The same item moves at different prices, and different speeds, depending on the audience, and a local sale trades some of the price for not shipping it.
• Recency. 109 matching sales among the 240 most recent eBay sales for this search, Sep 18, 2023 to Nov 7, 2026.

The sales behind this number

Every row is a real completed sale on a public marketplace. The links go to the original listings, which the marketplace may eventually remove.

How current is this?

We collected these comps on Nov 7, 2026 (1 days ago), and the most recent sale in the set closed on Nov 7, 2026. We do not re-fetch prices every time someone opens this page: refreshing costs real money at every marketplace, so these pages are rebuilt on a schedule rather than on demand. Treat a set older than about three months as a starting point, not an appraisal.
