Sony launched the 1000X The Collexion headphones as a new premium wireless model to mark 10 years of its 1000X series. The headphones combine the noise cancellation technology of the WH-1000XM6 with a redesigned chassis, upgraded audio tuning, and premium materials. The headset offers support for spatial audio, LDAC, and up to 24 hours of battery life. It is said to be positioned as the most premium model in the company's 1000X headphone lineup. Sony also unveiled a new Sandstone colour option for the WH-1000XM6.

Sony 1000X The Collexion Features, Specifications

Sony 1000X The Collexion uses custom 30mm dynamic drivers with a newly developed high-rigidity dome made from unidirectional carbon composite material and a soft edge design. Sony says this setup is intended to improve instrument separation, vocal clarity, and high-frequency detail. The headphones use a closed-back design.

According to the company, the Sony 1000X The Collexion is the first Sony model to feature DSEE Ultimate, which uses Edge AI to restore detail in compressed music files in real time. It supports 360 Reality Audio Upmix with three dedicated modes for Music, Cinema, and Game. Users can switch between these presets using a physical Listening Mode button. The headphones use the same active noise cancellation system as the Sony WH-1000XM6, including support for Ambient Sound Mode and Quick Attention. This includes 12 microphones and Adaptive NC Optimiser technology that adjusts noise cancellation based on the surrounding environment.

The Sony 1000X The Collexion headphones offer a frequency response of 4Hz to 40,000Hz when used with the cable and powered on. Over Bluetooth, frequency response ranges from 20Hz to 20,000Hz with standard codecs and up to 40,000Hz when using LDAC at 96kHz and 990kbps. Sensitivity is rated at 103dB/mW, and impedance is 48 ohms. It includes Bluetooth 6.0 and multipoint connectivity with support for SBC, AAC, LDAC, and LC3 audio codecs. The wireless range is rated at up to 10 metres.

The Sony 1000X The Collexion, weighing approximately 320g, uses metal accents, hand-polished finishes, and a soft vegan leather covering. It also features integrated buttons, concealed microphones, a wider cushioned headband, and redesigned earcups that are claimed to improve comfort during extended listening sessions. In the box, Sony includes a carrying case and a single-sided detachable 1.2-metre audio cable with a gold-plated L-shaped stereo mini plug. Accessibility features include tactile buttons, clear left and right markings, and a carry case with magnetic closure.
