Sony has unveiled 1000X THE COLLEXION, a luxurious new addition to its acclaimed 1000X headphone family, marking a decade of innovation in premium personal audio. Combining sophisticated craftsmanship, exceptional comfort, and Sony’s renowned sound technology, the new model represents the most refined expression of the 1000X philosophy yet.
Since the introduction of the MDR-1000X in 2016, Sony’s 1000X series has set the benchmark for wireless listening with its industry-leading noise cancellation, immersive sound, and user-focused design. As part of its 10-year celebration, Sony is also introducing a stylish new Sandstone colourway for the popular WH-1000XM6 wireless noise-cancelling headphones.
Premium Craftsmanship Designed for Everyday Luxury
1000X THE COLLEXION showcases Sony’s highest level of headphone craftsmanship, blending premium materials with thoughtful ergonomic design. Its metal headband features a refined matte sandblasted finish paired with hand-polished glossy accents, and each piece is individually finished by skilled craftspeople for a distinctive, luxurious appearance.
The headphones are wrapped in a specially developed soft faux leather material that took two years to perfect, offering a premium feel while ensuring long-lasting comfort. The clean design extends to seamlessly integrated metal buttons and microphone openings, creating a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. Available in Platinum and Black, both finishes highlight the balance between elegance and modern simplicity.
Comfort remains a key focus, with generously sized earcups designed to naturally contour around the ears, while a wider cushioned headband distributes weight more evenly. The soft, stretchable leather provides a secure yet relaxed fit, making the headphones comfortable for extended listening sessions.
A New Standard for Immersive Audio
At the heart of 1000X THE COLLEXION is a newly engineered driver unit featuring a high-rigidity dome made from unidirectional carbon composite material and a soft-edge structure. This combination delivers greater instrument separation, clearer vocals, enhanced high-frequency detail, and a more expansive soundstage.
Sony worked closely with GRAMMY Award-winning and nominated mastering engineers to fine-tune the headphones, ensuring music is reproduced with natural vocals, balanced instruments, and the emotional nuances intended by the original artists.
The headphones are also the first from Sony to feature DSEE Ultimate, an Edge-AI-powered technology that restores lost detail in compressed audio files in real time for a richer and more dynamic listening experience.
For a more immersive experience, 1000X THE COLLEXION expands Sony’s 360 Reality Audio Upmix technology with three dedicated modes for Music, Cinema, and Gaming. These modes transform standard stereo content into a more spacious, lifelike sound environment, allowing users to feel closer to the action.
Legendary 1000X Noise Cancellation and Everyday Convenience
Leveraging the same advanced technology found in the WH-1000XM6, 1000X THE COLLEXION delivers Sony’s signature noise-cancelling performance through its Multi-Noise Sensor system with 12 microphones and Adaptive NC Optimiser.
The system intelligently adjusts to different surroundings, providing a highly personalised and effective noise-cancelling experience.
The headphones also retain the signature conveniences of the 1000X series, including crystal-clear call quality, intuitive controls, seamless device connectivity, and up to 24 hours of battery life.
Designed with Sustainability and Accessibility in Mind
Sony has incorporated environmentally conscious materials into 1000X THE COLLEXION, with approximately 25% of the plastic components made from recycled materials and plastic-free packaging to reduce environmental impact.
The headphones are also designed with accessibility in mind. A bag-style carry case with a magnetic closure makes it easier to open and carry, while tactile buttons, clear left and right markings, and accessible QR guides improve usability for users with different needs.
WH-1000XM6 Gains a Sophisticated Sandstone Colour Option
Alongside the new flagship model, Sony is expanding the WH-1000XM6 lineup with the introduction of a warm and natural Sandstone finish.
The new colour joins the existing range of Platinum Silver, Sand Pink, Midnight Blue, and Black, giving users even more ways to match their personal style while enjoying the same award-winning noise-cancelling and audio performance.
Pricing and Availability
The Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION in Platinum and Black, along with the WH-1000XM6 in Sandstone, will be available in Singapore from June 2026.
1000X THE COLLEXION: S$839, and the WH-1000XM6 (Sandstone): S$649
