Sony launches $650 1000X The Collexion headphones for audiophile fans

Sony released the 1000X The Collexion wireless headphones, priced at $650, to mark the 10th anniversary of its flagship 1000X line. The premium pair offers high‑resolution sound, active noise cancellation and Sony’s DSEE Ultimate AI up‑scaling technology. Reviewers note the carbon‑fiber 30 mm drivers and custom EQ profiles deliver a natural, spacious audio experience across genres, though the price places the product firmly in the luxury segment aimed at dedicated Sony superfans.

The headphones also feature touch controls, a dedicated Sony app for EQ tuning, and an upgraded copper‑rich circuitry designed to lower signal‑to‑noise ratio. While praised for sound quality and build, analysts highlight that the $650 price tag limits appeal to a niche market of audiophiles willing to spend beyond typical consumer‑grade headphones.
