Sony WH-1000X The ColleXion are anniversary wireless over-ear headphones from the ultra-premium segment, released to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the legendary flagship 1000X line. This model radically changes the brand's traditional design approach by offering an uncompromising combination of luxurious materials and advanced acoustic technologies to compete with the highest-class audio devices.
Luxurious design with carefully selected materials represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and exceptional comfort. A specially designed driver and tuning, done in collaboration with famous mastering engineers, create an expansive soundstage with precise separation to convey the artist's vision. The 360 Reality Audio upmix modes allow you to immerse yourself in music, movies, and games.
The hinges, buttons, and external frame of the adjustable headband are made of high-quality stainless steel. The headphone cups have an exquisite finish of premium vegan leather, reminiscent of the design of the very first models in the series. To compensate for the increased weight of up to 320 grams, engineers made the ear cushions 40% thicker and 10% wider, ensuring a soft fit and evenly distributed pressure on the head. The headphone cups now rotate flat for storage in the included hard case with a magnetic clasp.
The new custom 30mm drivers with a carbon composite fiber dome ensure impeccable sound quality. Leading world sound mastering engineers were involved in their tuning, resulting in headphones that offer an exceptionally wide soundstage, perfect rendering of high frequencies, and tight, natural bass without muddiness. The headphones feature the advanced Integrated Processor V3 audio processor and the intelligent AI upscaling system DSEE Ultimate, which restores compressed tracks in real-time. The model supports the proprietary high-resolution LDAC codec, the modern Bluetooth 6.0 protocol, and the exclusive 360 Reality Audio Upmix spatial technology with three dedicated modes: for music, movies, and video games.
The active noise-canceling system is based on the QN3 chip and 12 adaptive microphones that continuously scan the surroundings. Additional 6 direction microphones with AI voice isolation algorithms ensure crystal clear phone calls even in a noisy office or a busy street. Due to the thinner and more elegant profile of the cups, the headphones offer up to 24 hours of battery life with ANC on and up to 32 hours without it, while a quick 5-minute charge replenishes 1.5 hours of listening time.
