Sony's 1000X Collexion Edition Leaks as a Luxe 10th Anniversary Upgrade
Leaked images hint at Sony's 10th‑anniversary 1000X Collexion Edition over‑ear headphones, featuring a thicker leatherette pad, larger cups, more separated buttons, and rear/side touch controls. The stems are redesigned into a single polished metal piece for durability, with colorways that vary between glossy black or chrome-on-white. A purse‑style case and a cable are included, though USB‑C charging may or may not be in the box. Battery life is roughly on par with the XM6 (about 24 hours with ANC on, 32 hours with ANC off), plus a five‑minute quick charge for about 1.5 hours of playback. Mastering studio partnerships are cited for driver tuning, and the pair is expected to launch at $649 in the U.S., positioning it as a premium alternative to Apple’s AirPods Max.
