Sony launches 1000X The Collexion premium headphones

Sony unveiled the 1000X The Collexion, a luxury flagship in its 1000X series, to mark the line’s ten‑year anniversary. Priced at €629, the over‑ear headset features advanced active‑noise‑cancellation, adaptive sound control, 24 hours of playback and support for SBC, AAC, LDAC and LC3 codecs. Its non‑foldable design and premium materials position it as a direct rival to high‑end models such as Bowers & Wilkins’ Px8 S2 and Apple’s AirPods Max.

The launch event took place in Manila, Philippines, where Sony Philippines staged an immersive showcase at White Space Manila. The presentation combined a ballet performance, a fashion runway by designer Gian Romano, live music by A‑Team and a panel discussion on music’s influence on creativity. Sony Philippines executives Shuhei Sugihara and Kentaro Imamura highlighted the headset’s blend of sound quality, comfort and style, emphasizing its appeal to both audiophiles and fashion‑conscious consumers. Attendees experienced interactive sound‑cancellation demos and examined the engineering behind the product.
