Sony 1000X The Collexion Review: More Luxurious, But Far From Perfect

Sony launched the 10th-anniversary 1000X The Collexion headphones as a more luxurious take on its flagship over-ear line.

The new model adds leather-and-metal materials, thicker padding, updated audio processing, and spatial listening modes.

The reviewer liked the comfort and premium design, but said the sound and noise canceling fall short of Sony’s best models.

At $650, the headphones face tough value comparisons, especially versus the cheaper WH-1000XM6.
