Sony launches 1000X The Collexion ANC headphones

Sony Electronics has launched the 1000X The Collexion, a premium wireless noise-cancelling headphone model in its 1000X series. The model is associated with product code WH-1000XX-B and extends Sony’s over-ear noise-cancelling line with a more design-led version of the established 1000X format.

The launch also marks the 10th anniversary of Sony’s 1000X headphone series, which began with the MDR-1000X in 2016. The new model is positioned around upgraded materials, comfort changes, noise cancelling and spatial listening features for buyers considering Sony’s upper personal-audio range.

Design changes include metal accents, vegan leather, wider cushioning and a bag-like carry case with magnetic closure. The headphones also include clearer left/right markings, tactile buttons and QR guides as part of the product’s usability details.
