Sony's 1000X Collexion: Luxury Edition That Stumbles Where It Counts

Sony marks a 10th anniversary with the 1000X The Collexion, a premium leather-and-metal redesign that enhances comfort and adds new carbon drivers and DSEE Ultimate upscaling along with two spatial audio modes. It delivers standout detail and a luxurious feel, but the overall sound is bass-forward, ANC isn’t as strong as the XM6, battery life is shorter (about 24 hours), and at $650 it’s expensive—making it a premium but imperfect option that may not be the best fit for all listeners.

Sony’s 1000X The Collexion: a plush tribute that comes with a premium price

Sony’s 1000X The Collexion are a luxurious, non-evolutionary take on Sony’s flagship line. Priced at $650, they’re heavier (about 320 g) and use premium materials (stainless steel joints, vegan leather) but offer only slightly better comfort and a case for display rather than travel. They reuse the XM6’s QN3 ANC and 12‑mic system, but thinner ear cups reduce passive isolation and battery life is pegged around 24 hours. Sound is detailed thanks to new carbon-fiber 30 mm drivers and DSEE processing, with added 360‑upmix modes that aren’t universally loved. Ultimately, they’re a pricey luxury, not a compelling upgrade for most users—the XM6 remains the better value for most listeners.
