The Sony 1000X “The Collexion” is one of the most stylish pairs of headphones I’ve ever worn, pairing a stunning luxury design with the spacious, refined sound upgrade I wished the XM6 had from the start. But while the fashion-forward aesthetic and carbon drivers feel genuinely premium, the weaker battery life and identical ANC performance make this a luxury splurge rather than the smartest buy in Sony’s lineup.
Pros
+Stunning stainless steel and vegan leather design
+Richer soundstage than the XM6
+Fantastic call quality
